Circus Chic

I can't wait to see Reese Witherspoon's new film Water for Elephants which is in theatres April 22nd and is based on the book of the same name by Sara Gruen.  She looks gorgeous in the trailer and also in the May 2011 issue of Vogue along side and top of some pretty pachyderms.  Rob Pattinson doesn't look too shabby either! Reese is one of those women that other women root for in life and it was nice to see pick herself up and find even greater happiness after her divorce.  If she can do it, so can we!

California Casual Chic

I've already been warned by numerous friends that I'm going to have to tone it down a notch or two (or maybe 10!) when it comes to my outfits for LA. It's a much more casual city than New York so jeans are appropriate everywhere and heels are almost never worn during the day. I always like to fit in when I travel so I'm doing my homework and looking to Reese Witherspoon for guidance. She seems to have the California casual chic look down pat. Looks like I'll be packing lots of jeans and flats which is fine by me. Now I just need to find out if the no white after Labor rule is applicable in LA and more importantly, where I can find Jake Gyllenhaal when I get there! I don't know what she was thinking!
