style spotlight: emma watson

Emma Watson has got to be one of the most beautiful women in fashion/movies/stars today. She recently wrapped filming for the last Harry Potter movie, after ten years working as Hermione Granger alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint: Part II of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." A short while after, she got a drastic pixie haircut, which received a considerable amount of backlash. Personally, I love her new 'do — so fashionable! Too bad we don't all have the bravery (and the face) to pull it off. Before she cut off her locks, she even modeled for Burberry along with her brother.

Emma is also entering her sophomore year at Brown University this fall. Jealous, anyone? Brown is definitely one of the schools I aim to apply for, but seeing her go there almost makes me hesitant. She's a human being, like any of us, and she certainly has the funds to go to an Ivy League school, but do we all have to be celebrities to get into the schools of our choice — namely Ivy League? Anyway, I'm quite happy for her, and glad she's getting back into the swing of sort-of normal life. I just hope she doesn't quit acting entirely. I would like to see her in a few other roles besides book-keen Hermione. Best wishes to her, no matter WHAT her hair looks like.

P.S. Who else is right excited for the newest installment in the Harry Potter series? I know I am — I've been hurrying up in trying to finish the whole series before November 19. With the tagline being "It All Ends Here," along with the waiting for the second part (July 15, 2011), and Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) as the first-listed character on IMDb, there is no shortage of goosebumps here. Can't wait!

Ann Marie is going completely insane right now, So her close friend (me) has taken over for the time being!

Today we went on an adventure in the blistering heat- a whopping 98 degrees.

We traveled to the park just to goof off, but due to the innter photography freak in me, i knew we had to take hold of the great lighting when we had it.

So we rushed back home to put on something blog worthy.

We worked with a lot of lines and geometry in this mini shoot, and just had a blast.

It started to storm right as we got inside- it was a true race. We sprinted as it was drizzling.

rainy days

It was a rainy week at camp but hey it was worth it...somehow. Funny story: there is a new family camping with us this week and they had just moved to Ohio from Canada, so their children have heard things like, "don't cry, or the tears will freeze to your face," and "you have 3 minutes to get out of your car to another warm place before you get frostbite." So when our camp director said, "It doesn't rain at camp," he meant it never rains in our hearts. But these two girls took it seriously, and when it started to thunderstorm at 5:30 in the morning one sat up in her bed and said to her mom "he said it doesn't rain here!" But seriously camp is a lot of fun, people come from all over Ohio, and some farther (Georgia and Maryland). But anyways I have a total of 45 bug bites and you probably won't be seeing much of my legs anytime soon just because I wont be able to shave until they all disappear.

Although camp isn't a fashion show everyone still tries to dress up a little on the last day, hence my outfit (I apologize for the lighting in this picture). Also you are probably all wondering why this isn't a picture of Nora. Well Nora here forgot to mention that this is also my fashion blog. I'm Ann Marie, Nora's co-blogger. Soon I'll have my own sort of sign-off name, don't worry.

So let's get to my outfit:
color blocked dress, Wet Seal (20 dollars)
black leggings, Target (10 dollars)
pale pink flats, Urban Outfitters (10 dollars)
pink cardigan, (thrift store find) Banana Republic (4 dollars)

leisurely strolls and such

Summer is here, summer is here. Hooray! This means long days and hot temperatures, busy bees and pajamaed cats. (Get it?)

Anyway, this past weekend I spent time on Larchmere Boulevard, a small shopping/art district. I had a huge lunch (consisting of a Reuben sandwich, chips, a pickle, and some fruit) and even found a cute collector's card in a gallery. The best part? Lounging in a huge bookstore that even had its own kitty to match!

I'd recommend getting yourself a nice iced coffee and hanging around one, too. And that goes for both the bookstore and the cat. Oh, and the Reuben sandwich.
