The 10 Hidden Life Lessons In Legally Blonde

 One of Reese Witherspoon’s most memorable roles was her portrayal of Elle Woods in the uplifting girl-power inspiring film, Legally Blonde. This classic chick-flick has hidden life lessons that are valuable to every blonde, brunette, or red-headed female out there! Here are the top 10 hidden life lessons in Legally Blonde…

1. “It’s impossible to use a half-loop stitching on low-viscosity rayon. It would snag the fabric. And you didn’t just get it in – I saw it in the June Vogue a year ago. So if you’re trying to sell it to me for full price, you’ve picked the wrong girl.”- Elle Woods
Lesson: Don’t let others take advantage or walk all over you.

 2. “There LSATS are an exam…girls, I’m going to Harvard!” –Elle Woods
Lesson: At some point in life, your friends might not understand why you have made certain choices. That certainly doesn’t make them awful people or friends. Not everyone is going to understand or agree with every decision you make in life. All that truly matters is that they support and believe in you as you explore your new venture.

 3. “Are you free? It’s an emergency!” -Elle Woods
Lesson: Take time to rejuvenate, gain clarity, so you have a fresh, new and positive perspective on life.  Talk it out, and release a few tears before heading back to the problem and facing it head on. If all else fails, indulging in a killer makeover can’t hurt!

4. “Oh my God, the bend and snap works every time!”
Lesson: Have confidence! There will always be that boy or two that will make you super shy and nervous. As Elle would say,“You have all the equipment you just need to read the manual!” Carry yourself with poise, confidence, and when in doubt flaunt what you got!

Trendy Transportation

Get your motors running!
Can you say winter fashion on wheels?

At a recent photo-shoot, I realized that there wasn’t a better vehicle than a vespa to navigate through the streets of NYC, and of course, weren’t better accessories to compliment any outfit than a adorable polka dot helmet! With a stylish scooter like this, who needs to take the subway, right?! If only I could afford to make my commute this chic…Between multiple quick changes and only a few hours to shoot there was no room to be bashful in the big apple. Needless to say, we had a lot of fun! Continue reading

Priceless Moments in Las Vegas: MAGIC Market Week

What a thrill it was to be representing Amy Conway at ENK Las Vegas! After a successful show in New York, we were fully prepared for Vegas. A little jet lag didn’t stop us from setting up the beautiful booth. People found the authentic décor to be so interesting that they would instantly stop and ask about the collection. Once we shared Amy’s overall message and mission, people seem genuinely intrigued to learn more. Everyone raved over the new jewelry pieces we added to the collection, with the Love Conquers All Bangle and Points Of Light Earrings being our top sellers. The scarves were also a huge hit! People really loved the concept that the scarves are all based on Amy’s poetry and artwork. The Yantra Orbs Stained Glass Modal Cashmere Scarf, was our number one seller, and is my personal favorite too!IMG_6188 Continue reading

What Kind of Commuter Are You?

The reader– Keeping to yourself. You seem so innocent…. oh, Fifty Shades Of Grey, huh?

The music listener– I now have Rihanna stuck in my head because of your obnoxiously loud music coming from your headphones. Perhaps I’m just being bitter because my phone died and I can’t listen to my own music, but common it’s 7 a.m how are you that awake?! Oh nana- not ok.

The sleeper– As long as your not snoring or leaning on me, this behavior is socially acceptable in my book… Just don’t blame anyone but yourself when you miss your stop!

The talker– No one likes you.

The drunk– no one really likes you either… But hey, at least your entertaining.

The makeup artist– I understand you might have been in a rush while leaving the house… but please lord do not spill that bronzer on me.

The eater– The smell of your food is either extremely tempting or nauseating. Please share or wait till you get home.

Even though there are days when the commute can feel deadly, if you just look at the people around you you’ll never feel more alive.
