What I Am Reading Now...

Viola in the Spotlight

I am in the midst of a conundrum.
Viola is finally where she belongs—back home in Brooklyn, where there are no khakis or sherbet-colored sweaters and people actually think her yellow flats are cool. With two whole months of nothing to do but hang with her two best friends, Andrew and Caitlin, this is going to be the best break ever!
But her BFFAA, Andrew, has started acting weird around her, and a new boyfriend has her friend Caitlin ditching her every chance she gets. When Viola's roommates from Prefect Academy show up for a visit, she starts to wonder—is Brooklyn where she wants to stay? When a tragic event shakes everyone's world, Viola realizes it's not where she belongs that matters—it's who she's with that really counts.
In this heartwarming follow-up to bestselling author Adriana Trigiani's teen debut, Viola in Reel Life, Viola just may be ready to get out from behind her trusty video camera and take the starring role in her own life.

Taupe Tastic Celebs

A few post ago I confessed my newest color obsession and now I see Taupe every where.  It's like when your friend gets a new car and honestly, you never ever noticed this car before.  But now you see it on the road every single day. 

Today, I jumped over to Vogue.com for no particular reason and the first picture to come up was a 15-year old Chole Moretz in a nude dress with a larger than her nude purse to die for.  Who is Chole Moretz you ask.  Don't worry I had to look her up too.  Chole is the young actress in Kick Ass, Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Hugo.  She is in the newest crop of young Hollywood. 

At fifteen I was not into purses.  Something this big would have to be my school bag stuffed to the gills with books (not school books) and notes I was passing in class.  I love this bag and as soon as I do a little research on who made it, how much and if I can get it at TJMAxx, I am all over it!  Love the look.
