Things I Love ToDaY

• 21 Ways to Be More Creative from Christine Kane's Blog - A surefire way to inspire creativity incase your life is feeling dull - and who isn't feeling a little dull in March?
• Sober by Pink - My song of the week.
• I Was Told There'd Be Cake by Sloane Crosley - I read this book while I was working on the movie Betty Anne Waters and was laughing like a fool - and getting many strange looks.  Her essays are so relatable, and her humor draws you into her stories and makes you feel better about this crazy, random world.
• Delias Morgan Low-Rise Skinny Jean in Pink - How fun are these?  Love the matching Converse sneakers.

• Reese Witherspoon at the Oscars - For the last week, all I've heard is how much Reese bombed at the Oscars; however, I thought her Rodarte gown was very fashion forward.  Maybe the blue eyeshadow was a bit much, but I cannot criticize as I, too, have had a case of the matchy-matchies (such as above).

Things I Love ToDaY

• Giraffe Cloak - How cool is that?  I think I want to make a butterfly cloak using this idea.
• Light On By David Cook - I have this song stuck in my head... and I'm OK with that.
• J. Crew Coat - I just bought a navy blue coat from J. Crew and got it for over half off.  
• Loyola satchel - This bag is roomy and would be perfect for school...sigh  
• DJ Earworm - "United States of Pop 2008" and "Gimme Freaks" are sweet mashups.

• 25 Random Things About Me - The last couple of days my friends and I have been posting lists with random facts about us.  It's amazing what you learn about people when they write what they think is most important about themselves.
• FreeRice - A vocabulary game that donates grains of rice for every answer you get right.

Marc Jacobs

I am really taken with Marc Jacob's Spring 2009 collection.  A part gypsy and a dash Mary Poppins, his collection allows you to mix a bunch of trends (vests, wide belts, bangle bracelets...) and still look fresh - although a bit costume-y.  For more pics, visit style.com.
