trying out a new format for "listen up.." today, featuring a lovely lady and some wise words, as always. i've always loved reese for both the roles she chooses and her seemingly normal personal life. i would take her advice any day, and these come from a recent elle magazine interview.

sharing three more things that are inspiring me this week. i can't seem to get neon out of the mix, of course. those invites by kate gabriel are really incredible. also feeling those oxfords for fall, and the gorgeous shot of drew barrymore from a previous harper's bazaar spread. here's to an inspiration filled wednesday!
perfect pointy toe oxfords | drew looking beautiful | amazing neon invites

wow, i'm really blown away by these stunning images of rose byrne for the fall issue of muse. i've been watching plenty of damages (i recommend it!) and catching up on the show, so rose has been on my "girl crush" list lately, and these photos are just another reason why i love her.

beyonce has been on my it-list lately. she's gorgeous, having a baby, and while watching her recent vma performance, i was reminded that the woman can SING. she falls off my radar a lot because she's so mainstream, but i feel like her stardom is warranted--that woman can do anything! case in point: her video for "run the world (girls)" has some of the best dancing i've seen in a music video in awhile (not that i watch them often, but still..) beyonce looks incredible and the video features some really impressive choreography and a catchy song, which i can handle once in awhile. afrojack isn't my favorite dj but he did the beat for this song, and it definitely has that electronic influence. what's not to like? check it out below, and tell me you don't want to move like beyonce.

kristin stewart, perhaps better known as bella swan to many, is in W magazine for the september issue, and damn, does the girl look good. i've always had a weird liking for kristin stewart, and have found her offbeat, awkward nature refreshing in a good way. loved her in the runaways. well, she looks far from awkward in this spread and i like it. hard to believe she's only 21..

no shame. i have both, mainly celebs and models. we all know milaaaa is at the top of my girl crush list, and jt has always (from his n'sync days, the good old 90's) held some type of spot on the boy list. it goes without saying that this latest elle spread has me dying. over its fashion, and theme, but mostly, over its subjects. hot damn.

i've never really felt one way or another about lauren conrad. i respect her for doing her own thing and she seems pretty down to earth, so i've never minded her presence in magazines and on tv. her latest venture, a clothing collection called paper crown, has kind of converted me into an lc fan. the lookbook debuted yesterday and it's full of fresh, easy pieces that suit my taste. nothing is loud, too over the top or statement-making, but the collection boasts pretty basics in light fabrics and colors that i can definitely picture myself in. i'm excited to see where the collection will be sold and what the price point will be, but for now, i think it's a job well done by lc.

...even checkers! which is clear from these pics of gillian zinser. i spotted these on design love fest and also fell in love with gillian's easy, flawless style. her messy bun, pink lips, checkered button-down and leopard bag just work well together, in an unconventional way. i might have to steal this look.
and i couldn't stop at that look. i'm obsessed with her hat, easy waves and sequin dress in the next picture. i love this girl's style.

sorry i've been a bit slow with the posting, but i'm happy to report that i had a really nice two days off from work, and ventured up to ithaca to attend a prom for my major. i also saw taylor swift last night at the prudential center in newark, nj and she was AMAZING. i mean, i am always in awe of her just because of her age. i see this girl singing and playing the guitar on stage, and i think...damn this girl is two years younger than me, and she is just rocking out. not to mention, i love her original lyrics and to be honest, they more often than not relate to my life. her show did not disappoint--the girl is amazing, and she's only 20. i can't even imagine what we'll see from her down the line.

she played the guitar, hugged SO many fans in the middle of her show (something i've never seen before!), sang her heart out and just looked genuinely happy and grateful to be hearing and seeing her fans. she looked beautiful too, i mean, her hair is awesome. i can't wait to see her again! taylor, you go girl!
