i share your love of convertible bmw's and doritos, and even better is the two combined on a roadtrip.
ReplyDeleteGreat reading your answers. That was really cool.

Orient watch is a great company ... how did you discover them? I didn't even think they had a presence in the US ... they are HUGE in latin america.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the pictures that go with the answers - cool
ReplyDeleteI really love that style of watch. Hope it is me that will be wearing it. Your answers were very cool by the way!
ReplyDeletevery interesting blog, AND a great idea to offer a free watch to a reader! I checked out the Orient website, and liked all the watches so much, I would hate to have to choose just one!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy someone else hates jean shorts over tights!! I hate jean skirts too, basically any denim over them! These questions were so fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the first image

Love the post! Scarlett Johannson's dress is fabulous - great color, great cut. And Ava Gardner is a fashion inspiration to us all.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting answers especially about the work of art! I am definitely in agreement with you! and as for the BMW...well, that's what my hubby is coveting and I am happy to go along for the ride ;).
ReplyDeleteI love this list....all lists actually. I have a lot of similar answers to yours:) I LOVE Hanky Panky! LOVE. Aix-en-Provence is one of my favorite places in the world too. But I have to say that I would love to be Christy Turlington and have Heidi Klum's body. btw, have you made your way to the Met yet to see the Model as Muse exhibit. It's right up your alley! You will LOVE it! I was just there and I loved every minute...
ReplyDeleteoh and PS-I love the Barney's warehouse sale so much I can hardly stand it!!!
What a fabulous tag! LOVED reading your answers to these questions, and will probably take forever to try to answer them myself! :)
ReplyDeletexx
we seem to share a love for corsets, it's always nice to find a fellow obsessed.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on being vain about hair CC...that's why I started my blog haha! And the Scarlett Jo dress is one of my favs of all time, such a great answer!
ReplyDeletePlum Sykes needs to hurry up and write more books!! Bergdorf Blondes is my absolute favorite book ever and the Debutante Divorce was great too, did you like it?
Love this tag, I think it's my blog for tomorrow!
XOXO,
EM
This is an awesome peek into your head! Even though we may never know the story behind Carrie Cucumber! ;)
ReplyDeleteAh-mazing! I am totally going to copy/paste this after my finals are done! I can't believe you want to do away with jean shorts over tights...even the bleached shorts over hot pink tights? lolol
ReplyDeleteI ALWAYS wanted to be a therapist too...I could always dish it out...ScarJo is a fashion icon & I love Barneys- I hope you're hitting up the sale!
omgosh... beemer<3 what a fun survey... i think i'll post it later :D
