Hello world! It is Andrew back with a quick pick for my song of the week.

Now let’s talk about Carly Rae Jepsen. You may know her from a little song known as “Call Me Maybe”? You know the one that basically went number one in like 20 different countries, spawned countless YouTube lip dubs videos and more right? Yep… THAT Carly Rae Jepsen. Well I am here to tell you to ditch “Call Me Maybe” on your playlists and replace it immediately with her brand new single featuring the boys of Owl City (aka the band that sang the number one hit “Fireflies”). The song is called “Good Time” it is an undeniable smash that really just makes you want to get up and dance or drive to the beach with this song on replay the whole gosh darn time. Enjoy it… before you hear it another 16,000 more times on the radio!

Summer Heels

[shirt] Top shop
[shorts] Theory
[shoes] Stuart Weitzman
[bag] Louis Vuitton
[sunglasses] Ray-Ban

I LOVE heels.  I mean, I REALLY LOVE heels!  But sometimes in the summer I get a little shy about wearing them, especially the really high ones.  The last thing I want is to be one of those girls with high heels on and short shorts with a tight tube top.  Something about that just doesn't work.  So this weekend I decided that I needed to pair one of my favorite pair of Stuart Weitzman's with a very appropriate outfit.  I opted for a very tailored pair of navy Theory shorts along with a blousey gray shirt from Top Shop.  I love this shirt because it is not symmetrical.  The right side has a sleeve that comes down almost to my elbow.  While the left side has a tank top strap.  The blouseyness made the shirt conservative enough to pair with high heels.

'Magic Mike' Movie Review

**** SPOILER ALERT ****

Thanks to Gilt City, last week I had the pleasure of seeing an advanced screening of Magic Mike.  I have never been the type of girl who enjoys male strip clubs or reading Playgirl.  Actually, come to think of it, I have never participated in either. But, that didn't stop me from enjoying this movie.

The movie follows a young entrepreneur, Mike (played by Channing Tatum), as he works his many odd jobs in the hopes of one day having enough money to be able to open his own hand made furniture company - his one true passion.  During his anything but monotonous routine of working construction, stripping and sleeping with women he takes on the job of babysitter to 19 year old 'the kid'.

Mike and the kid meet at a construction site and it becomes very clear early on that the kid has no direction. His skills are lacking and if it wasn't for his supportive and stable sister he would not have a roof over his head. When the kid gets involved with stripping he goes from couch potato to living the good life quickly. But even quicker he goes from living high on the hog to finding himself in trouble.

For a movie about stripping, there was a surprisingly entertaining story line. Of course, it wasn't as well developed as it could have been as the bulk of the movie was taken up with dance routines and acts. And, never being part of the Florida strip club scene, I can't say how accurate the movie was, but it seemed a little far fetched to me - with the kids easy entrance into a stripping career and the gorgeous beach front home Mike lived in given his array of odd jobs.  However, despite the storyline flaws, the movie was very entertaining and enjoyable.  A great movie to see with you girlfriends!

H-O-L-E-Y

It is safe to say that my style fluctuates from season to season, and sometimes even from week to week. I like to consider my style a bit trendy but on the darker edge. However, lately I’ve been playing in the pastel family and I’ve been quite content, that is, up until last week. While surfing the web, I came across this insane shirt on Urban Outfitters, its just a plain t-shirt but the back is cut out into the shape of a skull..stop, I know I couldn't either! But I guess I could, because moments after seeing it, I purchased it. The shirt comes in black, white, or cheetah, I went all out, please enjoy an image of my new cheetah skull-t!

Absolutely OBSESSED

Ok, I get it, sometimes Alyssa really does know best. Last weekend while hanging out with Alyssa I very quickly noticed her nail color and then seconds later  the amazing-ness of her color choice hit me! BAM, Absolutely Shore by Essie, I mean really, it looks like mint chocolate chip ice cream melted onto a seashell. This color is perfect, stop reading this and go out and buy it!
