A life less ordinary

Skins Generation 1 is being adapted into a movie. OMFG. Hell-to-the-effing-YEAH.

I'm so LOST without you

Let's all just go ahead and admit that if Driveshaft were a real band, we would be their biggest stinkin' fans. Especially on this sad sad day, on which LOST is officially no more. 

Also, I didn't realize that the band was based on Oasis. WIN.

Kaya Scodelario as Effy Stonem in Skins, Generation 2.

I'm sort of utterly and completely obsessed with Kaya Scodelario's style. I'm not a huge fan of her Skins character Effy, but daaaamn can the girl put together an awesome ensemble. Also, her British/Brazilian heritage makes her unrepentantly gorgeous. She's just starting to become known here in the States due more to her fashionista tendencies rather than her acting, but I'm very much OK with that (as I'm sure she is too).

To call for hands of above, to lean on

Hannah Murray as Cassie Ainsworth in Skins, Generation 1.

Sometimes I forget just how awesome Cassie Ainsworth (portrayed by Hannah Murray) and her style is. I mean, even when you google her, the subject of her style is the first keyword to pop up. She has that lovely British sensibility that isn't actually all that sensible - lace, chains, thigh high stockings, vintage dresses, mens' blazers & a splotchy blond dye job are her insignias. Also, she's a crazy, troubled depressive on the show, which makes her style that much more amusing.

We be seen together

I think it's ridiculously cute how Frieda Pinto and Dev Patel seem to be going strong in their off-screen-based-on-an-on-screen-romance-from-a-hugely-successful-multiple-Oscar-winning-film romance, but isn't it also oddly hilarious how they were all PDA-ing it up next to Alexa Chung & Mary-Kate Olsen at the Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2010 Show during London Fashion Week last year? I mean, I'm sure Dev is pretty aware of who Lady Chung is and what she does for Brit fashion, but something tells me the significance of this might be a little bit lost good 'ol Pinto there. Just a theory based solely on my knowledge of the lack of knowledge Indians have on fashiony-hip-Anglophilic stuff. Though she isn't a typical Indian by any means, I stilllll have this hilarious scenario in my head in which Pinto says something like "You mean you really aren't Asian?" or "Girrrrl, I loved you in that 'Serendipity' film" or something like that.

PS Alexa's dye job in this photo is errily similar to the one I have right now. Except she looks fantastic as usual, and I look like I'm sporting a rat's nest. Oh, the little things.

I thought you'd never ask

Tony+Maxxie?

This photo pretty much encapsulates everything my gay boyfriend and I always dream of, in the paralell universe where we are both 12-year old girls. Slap in a mountain of cupcakes here & a Kleen Kanteen there, and I'll be set for life.

My heart won't let my feet do things that they should do

I simultaneously love and hate my latest obsession with mid-size black boots:

-Love it because they look consistently amazing and add an edge to any ensemble; dress,oversized T-shirts, skinny jeans & tunics, these shoes have it all covered.

-Hate it because time time last year, I lusted for a pair of neon high top sneakers, and by the time I finally got them (and a decent amount of $$ later) I decided that I was over it. Being that I am a dresses & skirts kinda gal, I found them to be a hard footwear choice to sustain.

But these industrial-style boots have been embraced with gusto for a couple of seasons now, which puts to rest misgivings I have about whether or not I'll actually end up wearing them much.

Check out a great pair by Mulberry, below.

I think my favorite donner of these boots is the ever-stylish Kaya Scodelario, who can be seen sporting them all over London, including on the tele while playing Effy Stonem. The dichotomy of her tiny frame and the klunky boots is just killer.

I think they'll also be a practical & ace footwear choice for the fast-approaching SXSW here in Austin. Holler!

PS- This pic of Kaya is reminding me that I should also invest in more eyeliner/dark eye shadow for spring/summer. And go back to blonde. Serious things to ponder, these are.
