Breakfast at Tiffany's

Yes, I had never seen "Breakfast at Tiffany's" until a week ago, go ahead, sue me. I always thought that It was just one of those movies that was total overrated. But boy was it underrated by pop culture! I fell in love with in with in the first ten minutes! I had always admired Audrey Hepburn, she always looks posed and confident, and by watching this film, it only reaffirmed my admiration for her.

"Breakfast at Tiffany's" is such an iconic film that if anyone who even remotely likes fashion they have at least seen a picture of the famous little black dress by Givenchy. in the first ten minutes, you see how eternally classic Audrey Hepburn is, she can get dress in 5 minutes and still look amazing. Here are some of my favorite "Breakfast at Tiffany's" posters and images that I have found: 

This can only be one of the most iconic and recognizable scenes in cinematic history. 

I loved "Breakfast at Tiffany's" so much that I am had to go and get "Roman Holiday" which was Audrey Hepburn's real breakthrough role. I am most defiantly going to be buying more of Audrey's films and watch them during my snow days this winter! Breakfast at Tiffany's maybe my new favorite film.

What is your favorite film? Thank you for reading and have a preptastic day!

Essie's "After School Boy Blazer"

I have been enteranly searching for a navy blue nail polish that is not to dark, but not to blue. I have finally found it in Essie's "After School Boy Blazer". First off, who doesn't love the name! Secondly, It matches almost every navy color I own. It is not too glittery, but not to matte. It is the best polish ever!  I love Essie nail polish, it is such great quality and really great color pigment! 

What is your favorite color of nail polish? Thank you for reading and have a preptastic day!

Hunter Rain Boots

I have issues when it comes to boots… My calves have been through way to much tennis and swimming in my life time, which means that my calves that are 15 1/2 inches around. The standard boot leg opening is 15 inches… And I would prefer to wear pants sometimes with boots, which is only reasonable. So now you see my conundrum. I have muscle-y legs (i.e. the need for extended calf boots). 

I would really like to buy a pair of nice rain boots since my feet have stopped growing, and I have been looking at Hunter Rain Boots. But I always have that fear that I will get them home and I won't be able to fit into them. I don't want to spend $150+ to buy boots that don't fit. Because I need larger calf boots that are 16 1/2 inches in circumference, here are my options from Hunter: 

Original Adjustable Gloss Wellington Boots

Huntress Wellington Boots

Huntress Gloss Wider Calf Rain Boots

All of the options I think (I hope) have 16 1/2 inch calfs. On the website it says that the Huntress boots are the ones made for wider calfs, but I don't know about the adjustable ones. Either way, I will have to go to the store and try them on. I just have to cross my fingers and hope that the local store near me cares extended calf or Huntress Hunter Rain boots. 

What do you think, are Hunter Rain Boots worth it? Thank you for reading and have a preptastic day!

Wristlets, Oh How Hard You Are to Find…

I am preparing for my final exam for my Driver's Ed course, which I had to take online. (That was real fun! Said no one ever.) In August, I am official able to get my drivers license. I may or may not have a count down clock on my phone… 216 Days!!! 

When I finally get my driver license, I would like to have one of those wallets that can go on your key chains. Most of my friends, who already have their license, either have one of those or a wristlet that they can put their keys on if they want to. Here are some options that I am looking at, from high to low on the price scale. All of them will work great, but I just can't decide which one I will actually use. 

For the pricey ones… to the lower priced ones.  

Salvatore Ferragamo Credit Card Case // $280

Louis Vuitton Key Pouch // $200 

Tory Burch Emerson Foldable Card Case // $115

Gigi New York Embossed Python Phone Wristlet // $110

Coach Embossed Small L-Zip Wristlet // $65 

Mochi Things Ardium Card Key Holder // $24

Vera Bradley ID Zip // $12

There are so many options, but not all of them are versatile or reasonable for what I need them to be. Which one do you think that a high schooler would actually use? Thank you for reading and have a prepsteric day!

Bloomingdale's

I. Love. BLOOMINGDALE'S! I had always heard about Bloomngdale's, normally in the same conversation as such stores as Nordstrom, Saks, etc. But I have never personally shoped at Bloomingdales, well, maybe once in my 15 years. This Christmas my Moma wanted a bubble gum pink (it's not as bad looking as it is described) Large Longchamp Le Plaige. I check on Nordstrom, Bergdorf Goodman's, Neiman Marcus, and every store that sold Longchamp's. The only store that had the color that my Moma wanted was Bloomingdale's. I guess Bloomingdale's saved by butt this Christmas. 

There are so many great brands that Bloomingdale's sells! The ones that none of the stores near me sell, so it is my favorite place just to look and ogle… and maybe drool a little… 

Rouge Allure Gloss // Le Vernis Nail Colour

Chanel
One thing that can always brighten by day is anything Chanel. Chanel lip gloss, nail polish, blush, anything Chanel. At least they have my favorites of Chanel, their blush and lipstick/lip gloss. I have started to fall in love with Chanel nail polish, the colors are so pure and just perfect!

Reva Ballet Flats // York Buckle Tote

Tory Burch 

Oh, how I love Tory Burch, and oh how hard it is to find… It is so nice to finally find a website that just gives me the products that I want to look at with out beating around the bush.

Vara Pumps // Ginny Large Shoulder Bag

Salvatore Ferragamo 

Bows, the one word to describe the fabulousness of Salvatore Ferragamo! They have bows on ballet flats, low heel pumps, even higher pumps, and purses. What more can you ask for from a brand?! 

Gallaway Tote // Shawl Collar Cardigan

Ralph Lauren

Glossy Stain Couture Even Collection // Touche Eclat & Mascara Effect

Yves Saint Laurent/Saint Laurent

I had always heard about Yves Saint Laurent, but honestly I never gave it another thought (beside trying to pronounce "Yves"). After doing some research, i fell in love with YSL! I like their lip gloss stain just as much as I like Chanel's, which is defiantly saying something.

Backpack // Expandable Travel Duffle Tote

Longchamp

I think that a single word can cover my feelings towards Longchamp. LOVE. Longchamp's are always quality and versatile products that will last forever and never go out of style.

Another great part about Bloomingdale's is their Loyalist program, there are no gimmicks, or credit cards to get it. You just sign up and get points for how much you spend (and double points on cosmetics!). If you buy a $25 product, you will get 25 points to your Loyalist account. Easy as that.

What is your favorite store? Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus, or Bergdorf Goodman? Thank you for reading and have a preptastic day!

A Very Preppy Christmas and an Even Preppier New Year!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas with their families! I have to say that I loved all of my gifts that I got for Christmas this year. Here are a few of my favorites: 

Bag // Number 4 Haircare Spray // Beauty Blender // Cross Pen
My Passport Hard Drive // L.L. Bean's Bean Rubber Moc // L'Occitane Lotion Set
Pocket Knief // Necklace and Earring Set // Watch

The Barrington Bag, let me tell you, I am in love! It is big enough for me to put my lap top in, but not to big that I can't use it as a purse. The L.L. Bean Rubber Moc's are also a favorite, they are great for light rain and when i really don't want to put my socks over my pant legs. I also like the pocket knife from L.L. Bean, it is the perfect size for my peruse, but still a useful size. I will just have to remember to take it out of my purse before I fly.

The L'Occitane hand lotion set has saved my butt. My hands have gotten so dry in the past few days. I hate the polar vortex… The hard drive was also very needed for my sanity.

What was your favorite gift that you got? Thank you for reading and have a preptastic day!
