Fashion's January.

Are you excited to see The September Issue? The movie follows Vogue editor, Anna Wintour in the creation of Vogue's most important issue of the year.

I loved The Devil Wears Prada, and I have a feeling that this real life version will be pretty great too.

Take It For A Spin.

My latest beauty obsession are the Sephora Jumbo Eye Pencils. They sell for $6 and come in a variety of colors (12 shades are offered on Sephora's website). I've had the beige pencil in my makeup collection for a while now, but my love for it wasn't as strong until this past week.

I've found that these pencils look great smudged on your top lid. I put a little bit of an eyeshadow base on (Urban Decay Primer Potion or Too Faced Shadow Insurance are good choices) and then layer the pencil on top. Then I take a flat brush and smudge the pencil. It creates a great, dewy look. So great that next time I'm at the mall I will definitely be picking up a few more shades.

What is your most recent beauty obsession?

Out With The Old.

My new favorite television show is It's On With Alexa Chung. She is well dressed and surprisingly quite funny. Humor and style are always a winning combination in my book.

If you haven't seen her show yet, it's on weekdays at 12 PM. Tomorrow she'll be talking with Kelly Osbourne.

Never Thought I'd Be Green.

My camera/computer are giving me issues, so I don't have pictures of my purchases. I guess my words will have to suffice.

I am not a very green person. I'm always leaving my computer on and I love shopping bags. But while doing a little shopping during my vacation, I found the best green product...ever. It's not a water bottle, or a 'green is the new black' totebag, but rather shoelaces. I found shoelaces that are made of old kimonos. They are beautiful, and were just $4.95. After buying one pair and smiling at my feet everytime that I looked down, I was forced to buy another pair.

I don't wear sneakers that often, I have a pair I use for gym class or when I run on the treadmill, but other than that I prefer heels/boots/flats. I do however own two pairs of converse. These and a plain black pair. It just so happens that these shoelaces are the perfect touch for the black pair.

The first shoelaces I bought are black and have white and pastel flowers on them. They're very pretty and elegant, a great spin for converse that you usually see on scene kids. The other pair is red with blue, yellow and white flowers. I'm sure the shoelaces are a little difficult to imagine, but trust me my converse are currently looks pretty sweet, laced with the black pair of laces.

Remember The Day.

I'm back from vacation, and although I'll miss the beach, it was amazing to be back in my own bed last night. Plus, I missed my dogs while I was away. (That is definitely the biggest downside to vacations.) Now that I am back, I can share all my vacation purchases. Cape May (where I was) doesn't have the best shopping, but I did find some cool things.

I don't have time to take pictures at the moment (and I don't know the location of the camera), but I'll share one of my favorite buys.
I bought a wallet that is very similar to this one. The drink pouches that mine is made out of are more colorful and varied, but the basic idea is pretty much the same. It's recycled and very cute. If you have the issue of InStyle with Michelle Pfeiffer, turn to page 20. My wallet looks exactly like the bag next to Angelina Jolie's head, except mine is a wallet, not a giant bag.

I'll be sharing my other awesome buys very soon!

Fly Away Little Bee.

Rachel Bilson, looking as cute as ever while leaving the airport.

Tomorrow is my final day before leaving on my vacation, so it's probable that I'll be extremely busy. Expect this to be my last post until next weekend, when I return from my week long trip.

Tomorrow I'll spend my day cramming all my pre-trip tasks in. Starting with a pedicure to prepare my toes for the beach. Then I need to pack, which I oddly enough enjoy doing. I love packing, I just hate unpacking. I also need to drop my dogs off at the kennel. (Which will be sad, spending a week away from my dogs is tough!) And then I'll likely spend the rest of the night worrying about things I've forgotten and trying to shove afterthoughts into my suitcase(s).

Since I won't be here to say it on Saturday, I hope you all enjoy the 4th of July! Hopefully mine will still be enjoyable despite my prediction that a great portion of the day will be spent stuck in icky traffic.

If anyone else is traveling for the 4th, how about sharing what you bring to keep you busy on the road/train/bus/airplane. I usually stuff a purse with tons of stuff to keep me busy.

• A magazine, or three. This time I'm bring the issue of Glamour with Taylor Swift on the cover.
• Two books. I usually read one on the way there and one on the way back. This year I'm re-reading an old classic by Judy Blume, Forever. I also have a few books lying around my room that are dying to be read, so I'll probably bring those as well.
• Ipod/MP3 player. I haven't updated the songs on my ipod in around a year, and the battery has started to die ridiculously fast, but when my eyes start to tire, I like to have something to listen to. And I know the rest of my family doesn't want to listen to my music on the radio for the entire trip, this keeps us all happy. Plus the music blocks out whatever my family is saying!
• A pillow. I always keep a pillow nearby so that I can rest my head against a window and try to catch some sleep. I like to hope that the next time I open my eyes I'll be pulling up at the beach.
  
• A snack. Things like the 100 calorie packs and other on-the-go type foods are good.
• Deck of cards. If you're traveling with a friend/sibling/etc. cards can be surprisingly fun. There are a ton of fun games to play, and maybe the people you're traveling with know of a game that you don't.
  

I Love A Little Gossip.

It has been announced that Hilary Duff will be making her way to everyone's favorite teen drama, Gossip Girl. Hilary will have a several episode run as Vanessa's roommate at NYU. I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I'm a Hilary Duff fan, and I'm very excited about the combination. I think Hilary has a very cute, casual sort of style. Plus, sometimes on bored days I like to go to surfthechannel.com and watch old episodes of Lizzie McGuire. Anyone else excited for her return to television (I think she was on an episode of SVU a little while ago, but this a bigger venture)? We'll have to wait until October for episodes featuring Hilary, but I'm sure the CW will be kind enough to air plenty of teasers until then. They are known for having interesting Gossip Girl ads, hopefully this season will be no different.

And just because...who is your favorite Gossip Girl couple?
