Oh Brother!

My sister just sent me the link to this website, Giles & Brother . They have great jewelry including lots of anchors! Reminds me a lot of Rugby by Ralph Lauren because of the skulls/edgy/preppy look. The online store is not up yet but you can find the pieces at various online retailers including: Barneys, Bluebee , Shop Bop , Dilsey Coal (for more check out the website).

My last post...

until I am in AUSTRALIA! My bags are (mostly) packed, my farewell dinner planned, my anxiety high. Because I don't know when I'll have internet next, I'll leave you with some facts about the city I will be living in for the next 5 months:
* Second most populous city in Australia
* Melbourne is the state capital of Victoria
* Melbourne was founded by free settlers in 1835

Famous Melburnians:

I'm a weirdo

I was tagged by Kerry at More, More, More so here goes:

1. I absolutely hate carrots
2. I have to remake my bed/tuck in my sheets a certain way every night
3. I never let anyone drive my car and almost always insist on driving (total control freak)
4. I really hate clowns
5. I am allergic to mosquitoes
6. I still tie my shoes the little kid way (2 loops/bunny ears)
7. I hate talking on the phone (thank God for texting)

I tag: Canadian Preppy , Pink, Green, and Southern (Southern and Adorable), Palm Springs Preppy , GlamorousWhimsy , Pink Preppy Part Girl , The Preppy Lizard , and Princess Libby plus anyone else with weird things to share!

I love Jake Ryan

I just caught the end of one of my favorite movies, Sixteen Candles, and Jake Ryan would be the perfect preppy boyfriend. I love his plaid shirts and the sweatervest he wears at the end of the movie. He is seriously so cute!

Here's a video I found on youtube of my favorite scene (the end duh!):

Preppy names

This baby name website has a long list of what they consider "IVY LEAGUE PREPPY STYLE BABY NAMES." Some of them are right on: Archibald, Caldwell, Dutton but others are totally trashy/strange/too trendy: Mercedes, Hadwen, Cuyler.
For a shorter list check out this site.

I don't have any girls names picked out for my Future Children but have a bunch of boys names that I like. What are your favorite names?


In other news, I have two summer internship interviews this morning. It would be great to already know what I'm doing in February!
I did not go to the Lauren Conrad shopping event on Tuesday because (1) I had no one to go with (all my friends are back in school) and (2) it would just be way too tempting!
I did splurge on a "fancy" haircut from Joseph Martin Salon in Beverly Hills (going away present from my mom). I never understood why women would spend so much on haircuts. Then I went to this place and I totally get it now. My stylist was amazing, knew exactly how to balance what I wanted and what would look good, and was so worth it. He fixed my bangs, gave me great layers, and cut my hair so that it will look great as it grows out (definitely important since I probably won't be getting my hair cut for months).

Pretty in Pink

I have seen this shade of pink everywhere! Fruit punch, lipstick pink, bright pink- whatever you want to call it, it's perfect for SPRING! ( There is a slight variation in each of these but pretty much going for the same look)
