Style Icon: Kate Bosworth
She Got The Motion Of The Sea Of Love In The Air
THE TALENT
Kate’s yet to do something that has made me fall in love with her acting skills. But, I have liked her in Remember the Titans, 21, and The Rules of Attraction. Also how can one not mention Blue Crush? She was too cute in it and the whole vibe of the movie was laid-back and manageable on the Rom-Com corniness.
THE STYLE
Kate’s style can only be described as hippie hipster, or edged-out former surfer girl. Her style seemed to evolve parallel with her career. Back in the haze of Blue Crush, her style was simply California sunny chic. But now as her move roles have become more serious, so has her taste in fashion. She knows how to highlight a print by surrounding it with neutrals. She knows how to look like the quintessential Band-Aid when at Coachella, yet rock a Rodarte dress just the next night. Her versatility continues to surprise me.
ethic prints | florals | black basics | attention to detail
mosaic prints | layering | aviators | festival fashion
THE MISCELLANEOUS
Apparently called heterochromia, her eyes are two different colors: brown and blue.
Are you inspired by Kate’s style?

The Double Dream Of Spring

This has been one of the mildest and greenest winters in Boston that I can remember, yet the uncharacteristic weather is only making me look forward to spring even more. I’m ready to abandon my sturdy boots and unflattering puffer jacket for floral dresses anytime now. I simply can’t wait to hear that particular sound in the air when you finally know that it’s the first day of spring.
What are your favorite things about spring?

10 Things I Love Tuesday: City Edition
1. .PRETTY GRAFFITI.
[source]
2. .PEOPLE-WATCHING.
Maybe not to the extent of toting a video camera around (like in New York, I Love You), but still.
And here, the Sex and the City slapping scene.
3. .JAYWALKING.
Because waiting for lights to change is not time-effective.

4. .MISSED CONNECTIONS.
I love this blog’s artistic representation of the “missed connection.”

Check out my borderline embarrassing musings on strangers.
5. .COBBLESTONES.
I thoroughly appreciate their rustic charm (though definitely when not wearing heels).

6. .GREENSPACES.

8. .SKYLINES.

9. .PUBLIC LIBRARIES.
10. .ABUNDANT CONCERT VENUES.
Being close to so many venues provides limitless access to live music. Tonight, I spontaneously up and went to Greg Laswell’s show at Berklee College with one of my favorites. We got to chat with him after the performance. He is extremely talented, funny, and down to earth.
Hope everyone had a beautiful Tuesday!
Peace,
