Wren

I love the Wren Fall 2011 collection. Wren founder and designer Melissa Coker's clothes feel like something I could see myself wearing during the week, but taken to the next level - especially in the texture department.

The Artist

So I really, really want to see the movie, "The Artist". Its a silent film, set in 1927 in Hollywood. The film follows the career of two silent film stars right around the advent of talkies. His career suffers a major blow, while her career takes off.

Looks awesome, right? And if you need to convince a certain someone to go see with you, tell him it has a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes (that usually works for Hunter).

Love these grungy looks, compliments of Free People. If only they were office appropriate...

Jaime & Anthony

Jaime and Anthony's home was featured quite a while ago on The Selby, but I keep coming back to it. I love how cluttered and collected it all looks.. and even that it looks a bit creepy. I can't help but think it would make an amazing haunted house with all that taxidermy.

ba&sh

Loving these simple and beautiful pieces from the ba&sh A/W collection. The French line is the result of a collaboration between two childhood friends, Barbara Boccara and Sharon Krief. Started in July 2003, they began by creating their own "perfect wardrobes" - clothes they would want to wear everyday.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I could wear these clothes everyday, too.

So this is the New Year...

So I was hoping my New Years Eve would turn out something like this:

But instead it ended up being more like this:

I ended up sleeping through midnight due to the amazing Theraflu. Luckily, I am feeling A LOT better - though a little bummed I missed out on food and fireworks Saturday night.

Inspired by Mandy's awesome card, posted over at Dash It All, I've decided 2012 will be the year of firsts, fun, frugality, fitness, faithfulness, festivities, friendship and fabulousness! Notice there is no mention of the flu - let's keep it that way, 2012 :).

What Are You Doing for New Years?

I'm guessing some of you may have already heard this duet from the adorable Zooey Deschanel and Joe Gordon-Levitt. It poses an excellent question - what are you doing for New Years? Hunter and I are doing fireworks and food with some friends on New Years Eve, but afterward? This year we are super motivated. And we have the gym passes to prove it ("thank you" - my pants). But, seriously, I'm pumped to take on my New Years resolutions with full force, even if I only end up doing them for a month. At least I'll have a really good month, rightt??? To celebrate this new found spirit, I'd like to reflect on the top posts Amarillo y Crema had to offer this year:

5. Paris in the 1920s: More than one of us was a fan of the fashions sparked by this summer's "Midnight in Paris". I'm seeing tons of dropped-waist dresses in the stores.

4. 4th of July and Two Years and Counting...: I received some sweet comments/tweets while documenting DC's favorite holiday and Hunter and my two year anniversary. Makes me excited for next year's highlights and milestones.

3. Loving Orla Kiely: Lets face it - we are all loving Orla Kiely!

2. The Marriage Telegram: Looks like I'm not the only one in for a "swinging time".

1. Rita Konig Style: Now this post took a long time to put together. But was it worth it? Yes, it was - according to my lovely readers, such as yourself. Who doesn't love a girl who makes her own illustrated fireplace (pssstt... check out this new to me photo).

Here's to another year of great posts! Have a Happy New Year everybody!
