Audrey Hepburn had a pet deer named Pippin who she would take shopping, cuddle with during naps, and follow her around all day long.
I have a friend who’s out shooting deers right now. I don’t think Audrey would love that.

I love fashion, but it can be SO darn expensive to be, well…fashionable. Today I wore a romper that I bought from Goodwill, and it cost me $1.
It has these lovely little flowers all over it. The best part: it has shoulder pads. And they’re totally bitchin.
I wore it with a vintage belt that I got in LA for $5 and my beloved Rodarte for Target jean jacket.
I would like to take this time to apologize for looking like an idiot in these pictures. You can ask my excellent photographer friend David Linder. He knows that I suck at having my picture taken. I’ll never be as cool as her. Or her.
But seriously. After finding out that the dress worn in the introduction of Sex and the City (you know, this one) only cost Patricia Field $5 from a street vendor, I instantly felt challenged to find some wonderful inexpensive pieces. I got a great dress this summer at a flea market in Oahu at a Japanese vendor for $10. Perhaps I’ll make a fool of myself and take a picture of me wearing it sometime.

Blog roundup (goodness).
Here’s some of my favorite posts from this week:
via The Sartorialist I LOVE his commentary on this picture. This guy is absolutely OWNING this v-neck without….trying to own this v-neck. He’s a hunk (‘babe’ doesn’t do him justice).
Why is it that some guys look so cool in a V-neck tee, such as Milan V. in this photo, and some guys look like total sleazeballs?
Usually a good chest helps to fill out a tee, but with a V-neck I think a well defined collarbone is a huge help. This is similar to the idea of never wearing a tank-top unless you have well defined shoulders.
This engagement shot was featured on Cup of Jo. and While I feel creepy looking at engagement shots of people I don’t know (yeah, ok when I type it out I actually feel worse about it…) this one makes my heart melt.
Flowers from Design Sponge.
And last but CERTAINLY not least…this was posted while I was in Hawaii on Design Sponge. My favorite movie is The Parent Trap, I’m absolutely obsessed. Needless to say this ‘Living In’ made me giddy.
