What kind of bird are YOU?

Oh Wes Anderson… I want to be your friend.

Lately the Moonrise Kingdom trailer  has been a favorite 'go to' whenever I have 2-3 minutes of down time –and I highly anticipate its release this May.

It's about a pair of lovers that flee their New England camp, which causes a local search party to fan out and find them.    Of course I fail to mention that these 'lovers' are about 12 years old.

Moonrise Kingdom appears to cover all of the ingredients that make me drool when I watch Wes Anderson movies.    I am sure that Moonrise Kingdom will no doubt deliver on these custom touches that speak to my heart ...

Uniquely wonderful, quirky and whimsical style –check

And of course a cast we have grown to love!

(Die hard Wes Anderson fans will know that Schwartzman and Murray are Anderson muses.  But we loved the looks of Norton and Willis in this film too!)

Anderson's characters have impeccable style. 

Remember Gwyneth Paltrow's Margot from Royal Tennenbaums?

She represented a perfect combo of preppy classics and hippy chic. Le sigh.      Margot wore an iconic lacoste dress with her full length fur. 

And let’s not forget the amazing Scalamadre's Zebra wallpaper

Here is a nice spin on a 'modern day' Margot

What's in a Name?

Your name is your identity. It's who you are. Just like your style, it helps define what you represent. What you stand for.

OK so maybe that's a stretch.

 

After all, most of us didn't get to choose our own names. They were given to us at birth (shout out to mom and dad).  But why not transform your name into your own style!

I've always loved monograms.

I love the style. I love the options.

Why not wear your name on your sleeve (so to speak)?  Here are some fun ways to express yourself:

1. West Avenue Block Monogram Earrings from Max and Chloe $225
2. Jaimere Bracelet from Dannijo $245
3. Monogram Initials from Kraftshop etsy $99
4. Preppy Monogrammed Earrings by Tootlebugs on etsy $20

Here are fun ways to communicate with style!
