Channeling my inner Carrie Bradshaw.

As a lot of you may already know I am a tad bit obsessed with the Carrie Diaries,

okay I'm SUPER obsessed. 

Not only have I read the book, but I also watch the show on the CW,  which comes on mondays at 8! 

And after watching the show and reading the book, I see a lot of Carrie Bradshaw in me.

Especially since she loves fashion and writing, the book had me convinced at times I was Carrie.

I love the fashion, the hair, and the make-up on the show. I love how Carrie's outfits are so daring and never safe. Even if she is wearing just jeans she manages to add a different touch to her outfits with an outrages printed cardigan, sweater, or even shirt.

After watching yesterday's episode, "Caught!" I fell in love with Carrie's whole outfit for the dance, but since I have no where to go I can't wear a beautiful dress like her. I decided to recreate her hair, but adding my own casual Carrie look.

 

This hairstyle is really simple to do. I curled my hair with a baby curler, the smallest size it comes with. Twisting your hair in the back before putting it in a side ponytail to add more volume. And don't forget your choice in the color of ribbon to create your simple headband. 

Now for my Carrie inspired casual outfit. I decided to go with a crazy printed skirt, because Carrie loves her prints. This skirt actually has little dalmatians on it, it's high waisted and the belt was included.

For the top, I decided to go with a simple, white laced crop top just so the outfit wouldn't be too busy! The crazy thing about this shirt is that I almost bought an exact same one from Top Shop, the only difference was that Top Shop's was short sleeved. The top shop one was about $30 and I got mine for about $5-8, I believe. MONEY SAVER! For shoes I went with simple beige oxfords that aren't shown in these pictures. Also not shown in this picture is my "K" necklace because Carrie always wears her "C."

Safe Haven Premiere

So as many of you may know there's a new Nicholas Sparks book about to hit the big screen! And last night KenZo was there for the red carpet premiere.
We don't want to ruin it for you guys so I'll keep the summary short. Safe Haven is about a woman (Julianne Hough) running from a scary past, she ends up in Southport, North Carolina and falls for a super dreamy widower (Josh Duhamel) and her past comes back to haunt her. There's a BIG secret in the movie that you wouldn't expect. We're quite surprised to say that we really enjoyed this movie. We have not read the book so it was a completely new story for us. After two jaw dropping plot twists we left that theater trying not to cry. And we have to add Noah Lomax and Mimi Kirkland who played Josh Duhamel's children absolutely stole the movie. You just wanted to pick them and squeeze them. We also really enjoyed the chemistry between Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel, we almost wish they were together in real life. Basically what we're trying to say is, when this movie comes out on Valentine's day you definitely want to go see it with your boy friend, or best friend, or mom, or cat. Grab a box of tissues and and enjoy the typical Nicholas Sparks' love story. And just in case you were wondering there are a couple of shirtless Josh Duhamel scenes so now you definitely have to go!

After the movie we headed over to the after party, all thanks to RELATIVITY MEDIA. There let me just say I had the best She Crab Bisque OF MY LIFE (Zoe). If Wolf Gang Puck is reading this: I love your soup and I want to eat it every day.
And not only was the soup to die for (I could talk about it forever), they also had a wonderful dessert table, I think that was Kennia's favorite part (she ate like 100 red velvet cake shots).
We had such a wonderful night and we really have to thank Relativity Media for letting us come out to the movie and then eat all their red velvet cake and the crab bisque. We appreciate it so much.

Kennia: I just honestly want to thank relativity media so much! This was an amazing opportunity and the most fun we had in a while! Thank you for letting us join you for the movie and the party, we had such a great time and hopefully we'll get to join you again!

Y'all should give Relativity Media a follow, their twitter is: @relativitymedia

Beautiful Creatures Premiere

Beautiful Creatures

Another Premiere we got to attend on the same week was the premiere of Beautiful Creatures. This is a book series that none of us have read. Going into the movie we didn't know what to expect, watching the trailer we couldn't even understand what the movie was about except that she was a witch.

The movie in the beginning starts off by being introduced to the main character Ethan and he is having dreams of this girl. He doesn't know who she is or why he's dreaming of her. He never gets close enough to see her face or even talk to her, he always gets shots. Ethan longs to escape his small Southern town, especially because everyone there is so religious and judgmental. A new girl comes to their town, mysterious and everyone believes she's a witch and needs to go to hell. In reality, she is a witch and is almost turning 16, meaning the universe will determine if she'll be a good or bad witch. Her name is Lena and her and Ethan fall in love. The way he loves her and will do anything for her is so cute, you literally FALL in love with him. Lena's family does not want them to be together for reasons we will not give away, but he fights. We won't give away the ending because without knowing what to expect from this movie we came out falling in love with the characters, the story, and the movie. The beginning of the movie was VERY confusing if you haven't read the books. We had absolutely no idea what was going on and sometimes it was hard to understand what they were saying because of their accents. But we promise it gets better and it's a really cute LOVE story. We came out of the movie wanting to read the series and we're pretty sure we are.

Kenzo + our friend Majeza at her first premiere.

The movie comes out on Valentine's Day, so make sure to check it out. For those of you who've read the series, we think you'll be pretty happy with the outcome! If you watch the movie let us know what you think by leaving us comments or by tweeting us @kenzodiaries!

Kennia: I love the show Switched at Birth and couldn't resist taking a picture with Katie Leclerc and Vanessa Marano, who play Bay and Daphne!

Olly Murs LA Show

Oliver Stanley Murs.

Or as many know him "Olly" Murs.

Olly is a singer-songwriter, musician, and recently one of the UK X-Factor hosts.

He rose to fame after the X Factor finishing in second place.

But became really well known in the US after going on tour with One Direction in the summer of 2012.

His album is about to debut in the US on April 16th, it's called: "Right Place, Right Time!"

Favorite songs on the album: "Heart Skips A Beat!"

      "Trouble Maker." "Dance With Me Tonight." "Oh My Goodness."

His most popular song is "Heart Skips a Beat" and he recently released "Trouble Maker."

I will have links to the music videos at the end of this blog so make sure to check them out!

Olly Murs played his first headlining tour at the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013!

He of course made a STOP in LA! I was so excited he announced an LA concert because I saw him open up for One Direction and couldn't get enough of him. He knows how to put on a show with his energy, charm, and most importantly his dance moves; which were a huge hit when he was on the X Factor.

If you didn't attend the Olly Murs concert, you honestly missed out! He was extraordinary, we left the concert wanting more. We've been to A LOT of concerts and this is one of the best ones we've been to in a while. He knows how to entertain the crowd with his charm and dance moves. Now let me tell you Olly's dance moves are just to H-O-T! He knows how to move. At one point I thought I was watching Magic Mike. He Channing Tatum if you need another dancer in Magic Mike 2, you should really give Olly Murs a call. He's not afraid to be himself and I think that's what we like about him as a performer. I love his voice more when he sings live then on the record, I just feel like it's more raw and real. You don't get that a lot.

Not only is he a good singer and dancer, but he is also Funny, Charming, and one of the Sweetest people ever. He is also VERRRRRYYY CHEEKY. He is a huge flirt and even if he is older than both of us, we wouldn't mind dating him. I mean have you seen how gorgeous he is. I also want to add that his body is perfect and the fact that he doesn't look like every other singer or actor in the world makes me love him even more. He isn't afraid of what people think about him, he is himself on and off camera. That is what makes Olly Murs so likeable and one of our favorite Brits out there.

I've had the privilege of meeting Olly & he is everything I described and more. He also kisses you on the cheek, got to love British Boys! Unfortunately, Zoe wasn't able to attend when I met Olly because she had work that day ):

We also made Olly Murs dolls, we decided to give him one & keep one:

Olly Murs really loved it and even tweeted Mini Murs chilling:

Stay Cheeky Murs!

Here are some pictures of him from the show:
