What I'm Coveting

So obveously you could just go to Sea Of Shoes and look at her amazingly unique room but i'm just going to post it anyway. If you haven't already checked out Sea of Shoes then you must. Jane brings her over-the-top fashion sense and style to her blog and post exquisite pictures you will surly die over. Enjoy...

French Vogue

One of the things I always love to ask my dad to get when he travels is an issue of Vogue. When you look at American versus French Vogue they have entirely different styles. French is much more avant garde and a whole lotta risqué. It's an entirely different way of thinking. So when my dad was in Turkmenistan and picked me up the 90th anniversary addition I was overly thrilled. Just look at the personalized birthday pages...

D.I.Y. Chanel tray

Hello again, another DIY (im telling you i'm obsessed with the DIY's). I was looking online and saw pictures of Nicky Hilton's house and I love her all black & white theme. She had a tres chic Chanel food tray that she got at a surely expensive antique store which I love but you could easily make one yourself and btw I thought of the idea and didnt find another DIY online it's all me, just thought you should know i'm original).

So I went to my trusty Good Will and found a plain wooden food tray (and an elegant looking silver picture frame and fabulous Celine patent leather sandles that are super expensive online (couldn't help myself)).

Then I cut out chanel stensles and spray painted the tray with black spray paint.

So here's the problem: I used really floppy cardboard and it ended up messing it up and I went over it again with black spray paint. I ended up just drawling with a pencil the outline of the shape and painted really carefully with a tinny brush.

D.I.Y. Tufted Headboard

I always thought interior design was kind of boring, im more of a clothing design person rather than house designing but i've been quit buisy with new projects for my soon-to-be amazing room.

So before I just had a full bed and was always planning on buying a headboard but never found one that really caught my eye. So I found this style for a headboard called a tufted headboard and I think the style look's so princessy and elegant but when you go on craigslist and try to buy one or look online their super expensive so I thought why not do a D.I.Y!?

I followed this tutorial (well, rather my dad did):

So then I went to the fabric store for the main fabric for the headboard, I exited out black because you wouldnt be able to see the detain and no pattern since im probably going to get another comforter so then I found this simple a little off white fabric that has a diamond stitching on it and for the buttons found some cross black ones that look very frenchy to me. And here's what it looks like now:

A Little Remodeling

One of my many little dreams was to have a Breakfast at Tiffany's/Tiffany & Co./Parisy inspired bedroom. Since my dad is content on redecorating our entire house wouldn't it make since that I can finally have my dream room!? My previous bedroom is a remodel of Maddie's bedroom from my previous obsession of the Suite Life of Zack and Cody (for those of you who dont know the show and therefor have good taste it's a Disney channel show about two twins living in a hotel with their singing mom and a spoiled hotel heiress named London Tipton - sound familiar? i.e. Paris Hilton). So the walls of my bedroom consist of blinding bright, yellow walls and various odd bright colored decorations and a mismatched Victoria's Secret PINK comforter. What's strange is that you can see a little of what I was like and my personality I guess when I was 11 and 12 with the bright colors but then you spot my black and white pattern's and fashion magazine collages on my walls which is a little more me now.
I want a room that reflects all of my personality right now, my love of fashion and designers, my undying love of Breakfast at Tiffany's/Audrey Hepburn, and my all time favorite color pallet: black and white.

Yummy Oat Meal Raison Cookies

I have been craving oatmeal raison cookies ever since I fell in love with hot oatmeal for breakfast and found out that we have a whole can of oats and raisons to cook with.
I found this recipe for oatmeal raison cookies:

1 Cup of flour

1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
2 tablespoons of milk
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1/2 cup of light brown sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup of apple sauce
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 1/3 of cup of oats
1/2 cup of dark raisons
Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes

And a little extra for myself, teehee.

XOXO, Caitlyn

And I really want a new haircut for school next year (even though I sadly have a quarter and a half left). Watcha think about the bangs??

A Very Stylish Lady

Karlie Kloss

Queen T

Now that im on a role, I think Taylor Momsen should have her own post. First she was just little Jenny Humphrey but now she's the newest Queen B and is saying goodbye to the beloved headband and preppy upper east side style and taking over with her rocker chic style. Its wierd that all be posting pictures of pleated skirts and femineme style and then all say I love the rocker edgy style. My style is always changing and I like the mixture of classy, femineme style with a little edge like a leather jacket or black boots. However, Taylor proves shes got stamina with her biker jackets and sky high heels.

GG

I can't wait for GG to FINALLY come on again!, they just got the 3rd season going and they suddently deside to stop the show one episode before the seasons over!? Well anyway, I love the style on the show, I must say Eric Damon does a wonderful job creating the shows preppy, upper east side wardrobe.

The Devil Wears Prada

I know these pictures are pour quality but I just love The Devil Wears Prada so much and they dont have any pictures from the beginning of the movie online.
