Alluring Kennedy: Scotland

As you all know, I loved Scotland.
It is a place that will charm the pants of you...
{and possibly blow your hair into oblivion, if the wind is feisty.)

This Alluring Kennedy is highlighting all the right features
of Scotland...

landscape, fashion, and the famous men of the plaid.

...

SCOTLAND

Great Scot!

A place not often discussed, but what a glorious country.

Have you been to St. Andrews, the Highlands, the Castles?

I traveled to Scotland once in college...
and found it to be breathtaking.

... and then I saw some of these men
and found them breathtaking as well...

Mr. Mcavoy

Mr. McGregor

Mr. Butler

(If you haven't seen him in this movie, you've missed out)

If only I could dress them in these looks from L.L. Bean

I know right... LL Bean?
But trust me, friends.

Its actually quite good.

The Dirty Dozen- Laura

12 Months. 12 People. 12 Questions

Today we are getting to know, Laura, of the Black Frames.

You may also know her as the blogger behind Something Legit,

{and the author of our own Alluring Kennedy series}

but her hidden talent is revealed this week with the debut

of The Black Frames debut video: Legbone.

So Laura is a blogger, a bass player in a band, a world traveler...

and she has a full time job?

( ... I feel like an underachiever.... )

We asked Laura 12 Questions.

Beth has the first 6 questions.

I have the other half dozen below.

...

SEVEN

What do you do when you aren't doing... it?

I like to go out to dinner with my friends,

travel, yoga, book club, watch movies, and go to shows.

EIGHT

How could you take "it" to the next level?

Video blogging my friends.

It's the next big thing.

NINE

What do you watch?

30 Rock.

Every week, Tina Fey tells some of my story.

Also, episodes of Arrested Development. It never gets old.

TEN

When you aren't playing, what are you listening to?

Latest loves: The Mourning Benders, Toro y Moi, Tennis, Crystal Fighters, Talking Heads, New Order

ELEVEN

What do you read?

Last book was Blood, Bones, & Butter.

It's about a chef in NY. I was hungry the whole time I read it.

I wanted to consume food... and it was wonderful.

TWELVE

Where are you going?

It's wedding season, so you'll find me in a few bridesmaid dresses this summer.

I just got back from the UK & France, so I'll be playing that off for a while.

Next summer though, Costa Rica. It can't come soon enough.

Read the first six questions

we asked Laura

at Hello Splendor to get

the full picture!

Alluring Kennedy: Harry Shum Jr

Laura from Something Legit is back,
and introducing me to some new eye candy from GLEE.

I haven't ever watched the show {except for Gwyneth's guest star}...
but it after today, it looks like I might be changing my tune.

Cue Music....

Lights, Smoke Machine

"Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba"

This week's Alluring Kennedy, drum roll please,

Harry Shum Jr

also best known as Mike Chang on Glee.

This AK first caught my eye in the movie, Step Up 2: The Streets.

Yes I do own this movie,
and No, I do not know why.

Wait- yes, I do!

Because its a known fact, I love this dudes sweet moves.

Seriously, he's too cute.

This suit fits like a glove.
Doesn't it look great?

The epulets on this militant jacket add just the right touch of style.

Harry has a huge role as choreographer the LA based dance group LXD.

Watch episodes here.

So what do you guys think?

Are you now believers in Harry Shum Nation?

PS. Check out Laura's awesome post from Monday.
I was proud to be an American after seeing what stylish men were running the show...
except for the Clinton shot.
Have mercy.

Alluring Kennedy: Joseph Gordon Levitt

Hey, its Laura-
from SomethingLegit.

Today, I bring you this Alluring Kennedy:
Joseph Gordon Levitt

Lately I have been referring to this man as JoGo.

And as of late, he has been going for the gold.

Its been a long road since
Angels In The Outfield + 3rd Rock From The Sun.

JoGo first caught my eye this time around in the indie gem, Brick.

He's channeling his inner male model.

Plus, his wardrobe in (500) Days Of Summer, changed my life
and thus confirmed that Adidas Sambas could in fact
be worn with sweater vests and JCrew slacks.

Don't act like your not impressed.

Alluring Kennedy: Love Actually

Welcome back, Laura, of
the ever cool men's fashion site,
Something Legit.

Today she brings us a
Christmas Miracle
in the form of the men
of my FAVORITE move....

I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes!

I love Love Actually season.

I could watch this holiday movie EVERYDAY.

Last year Aspiring Kennedy made me a banofee pie and hot chocolate
as we curled up to watch this flick.

{and it changed both of our lives...}

Every aspect from scenery around London, Natalie's Red Coat, the Mariah Carey cover, and Hot Karl.

Lets take a look at the Alluring Kennedy's that make this movie so enjoyable.

Alluring Kennedy: Hugh Dancy

*The hilarious and hip, Laura, of Something Legit is back.

And thank goodness: she's educating us on a new Alluring Kennedy... Mr. Hugh Dancy*

Oh Hugh, my English Muffin!

Can we say:

A cutie?

{Yes}

Just a regular bloke?

{Maybe}

Wears a suit better than most mortal men?

{Always}

O-M...
(I have dropped the G for dramatic effect)

This last look is fatal.

I would have done a double take and then fainted in the street.

A Legend Amongst Mortals

My friend Laura from Something Legit is back
with her swoon worthy series:
Alluring Kennedy.

Today she is singing us the sweet praises of Mr. John Legend.

{image source}

John, lull me with your sweet melodies

{image source}

Can't you just imagine yourself in a John Legend montage?

running through the park,

yachting,

eating ice cream cones,

riding tandem bikes?

. . . . .

{Oh, I passed out. I'm back.}

{image source}

What a dream!

{image source}

No woman would ever resist taking a guy like this one home.

{image source}

Look at that face...

{image source}

Save room for my love, Mr. Legend.
You are an Alluring Kennedy with a lot of class.

Alluring Kennedy: George Clooney

Oh sir...

have you come a long way
since the Facts Of Life.

{image source}

You matured like a fine wine before our eyes....

and took up residence in this sacred place... Lake Como, Italy

and have turned girls to women.
