i idolize you

i mentioned in one of my earlier posts that i have a ton of idols. my idols range from people like zooey deschanel to audrey hepburn. i think the reason i have so many idols is because i like having someone that i can look up to, and when i need fashion advice or quotes to look at i can just hit up google and find out everything that i want to know about them. don't get me wrong though, i have many idols who aren't famous, and maybe i'll do a post on them at another time, but for now i'm going to stick with the famous ones!! and for now i'm just going to stick with my top five girls, because if i did all of them you would literally loose interest by the time i got halfway through;)

1. zooey deschanel. i mean come on, she's gorgeous and goofy and i love to see what she wears! also, i'm obsessed with new girl, which is how my obsession started. even though she's probably not like her character jess at all, i still love jess as well. so it's kind of a two in one idol thing going here. jess and zooey. one of the main reason's i love jess so much is because she's a school teacher and i want to be a school teacher. haha ok this is really cheesy, but i swear i'm speaking from the heart here;) also, zooey was in the movie Elf which is one of my all time favorite movies.

2. audrey hepburn. first of all can we just admire her. she's glamourous and just ugh i wish i was her! i think i was reincarnated from the 50's, because i love all things classic. pearls? yes. poodle skirts? yes. keds? yes, i have a pink pair. audrey? yes. 

she's one of the best actresses of all times, and she's one of the few people who has won academy, emmy, tony, and grammy awards! seriously, woah. 

i honestly can't even describe how much i love her, but for as long as i can remember i have always been fascinated by her pictures (even before i knew who she was). all in all, one of my biggest idols.

3. tina fey. i recently finished tina fey's book Bossypants, and this is where my love of her formed. i love that she started out just like me, and worked her booty off to be where she is today. i like how she's authentic and doesn't take herself as seriously as a lot of famous people do. also, not to mention she's one of the funniest people i have ever met/authors i have had the honor to read. i love looking at old youtube videos of her from when she was on snl. gosh she's just great.

4. ellen degeneres. i've been sick for over a year (post about this coming soon) and the highlight of my day while i am sick is the ellen show at 4pm. 

yes i am a religious watcher and no i don't care what you think about it. 

ellen is amazing. she gives back so much to the world and to the people that it's hard not to like her. also, her show is hilarious. i love all her not so random segments and her dance dares. i could go on and on about why i like her so much, but instead i'll just show you four pictures. 

oh p.s. if you haven't watched the ellen show before, you're not allowed to read my blog again until you either look up segments on youtube or find an airing on your tv. 

i'm only kidding.

sort of.

5. last but certainly not least we have jenna marbles. if you've never heard of her before go to youtube right now and search jenna marbles. if you're too lazy to do that then click HERE. seriously though, she's hilarious. whenever i've had a rough day or just mad at the world or something i watch jenna marbles videos. everything that comes out of her mouth is hilarious. also, like tina fey she started out just like you and me. she just started making youtube videos one day and now she's one of the top most subscribed people on youtube. how crazy is that? although i do admit she's inappropriate, she is still hilarious. also there is a teens react video on here HERE. it's funny. you should watch it.

top five books

this summer and at the end of the last school year, i went a little crazy with the reading. i recently got a kindle, and having books available at the push of a button without seeing my money actually come out of my wallet is a dangerous thing for me. i absolutely love reading and i think it’s way better than watching tv! first of all, there are no commercials and second i always seem to forget my worries when i’m reading way easier than when i’m watching tv. don’t get me wrong though, i do love tv shows especially real housewives of orange county, dance moms, the bachelorette, and the ellen show, just to name a few... but since i’ve been reading so much, i though i would share some of my newest reads. here they are in no particular order --

1. american wife: a novel by curtis sittenfeld this is what i’m currently reading, and i absolutely love it! supposedly its about laura bush’s life from when she was younger all the way until she is older. the characters in this book are great and i’m in love with alice’s(the main character) grandmother, she's a hoot. i think this book would make a great pool or beach read, because it’s very easy to forget everything else while reading it. do note though, that it seems to be very long! usually i can finish a book in on or two nights (i have mono, therefor lots of free time;) ) but i'm already on day four of this book.

2. bossypants by tina fey: oh my gosh, i love this book! tina fey is one of my newest idols (i have so many idols i could write a whole post about them!). this book is hilarious, but it also shows how nothing worth having comes easy. i think in today’s day in age we (mostly teenagers) forget how hard famous people (excluding some, like the kardashians) had to work to become who they are today. although it had a serious message, it was a great read! 

3. spying in high heels (the high heels mysteries) by gemma halliday:  i am in love with this series! the main character reminds me a lot of myself, because she is so ditzy but tries so hard to be serious or at least taken seriously (in a good way haha). this book has just the right amount of mystery and just the right amount of romance, making it too a great read! the best part about this book is that there are about ten in the series, so these could last you a good chunk of the summer. so far i have read four of them, and they are all equally as good. usually longer series tend to get worse and worse as you get down the line, but i love these. and the best part is that i’m pretty sure the first one is free from the kindle store! 

4. the selection by kier a case : if you are a fan of the hunger games, i totally recommend this book! it’s basically the perfect blend of the bachelor and the hunger games. what a great combo!! basically a girl is in love with a boy from her home town, but the prince of the kingdom is looking for a wife, and the girl qualifies to compete for the prince’s love, along with 30-ish other girls. she then starts to fall in love with the prince, even though she promised her man back home that nothing would happen between her and the prince. ahh so good, definitely a must read!!! also, i’m almost positive this series is turning into a tv show! check out a more in depth review at popcosmo!

5. looking for alaska by john green : people had been telling me for the longest time that john green was an amazing author. usually when people tell me       that i HAVE to read a book, i always get hesitant (i think i blame the twilight series--i’m not a fan). anyways, i was bored and didn’t know what to read to so i purchased this book. all i have to say is that it is by far one of my favorite books, and i will forever tell people to read it. not only is this book amazing, but so are all of john green's other books! read them, i beg of you!! you HAVE to read this book--call me a hypocrite..

if you are craving more book reviews you can find some great ones here here here and here!!if you have read any of these books, or have any recommend any other books that i should read then please let me know!! thanks for reading! xo chloe
