Hello lover!

Channeling Carrie Bradshaw is always fun. When I saw this white blouse with blue polka dots on sale at Club Monaco, I immediately thought of my Manolo's. I was head over heels in love with these pumps when the Sex and the City movie came out. That last scene where Carrie finds Big in the Closet full of nothing BUT the blue satin Manolos... as Rachel Zoe would say...I DIE! I took advantage of a sale and got these beauties this past May and I'm still looking for a protective spray that wouldn’t ruin them. Anyone have any recommendations?

Lady Gaga - Halloween 09



Wearing:
BCBG Fall 08 runway dress
Roberto Vianni peeptoe booties
Aldo & BCBG accessories
Wig & hair bow from Ebay
DIY Scarf, Sunglasses & Disco Stick --->See DIY How-to post

Hope everyone had a fabulous Halloween!! I'm so sad it’s over :( It seems like every year, the build-up in anticipation for Halloween... making a costume etc is so long. Then, it's over before you know it! It's only one day after all.

Dressing up as Lady Gaga was So much fun. It's definitely my favorite costume yet. From making the the sunglasses and disco stick a month ago to last minute sewing up a scarf from random Christmas fabric, I'm glad it turned out alright! You can't be Lady G without the camera flashing constantly in your face... so J went as a TMZ paparazzo! I realized I've never posted a pic of the man behind the camera. Here's J in his paparazzo get-up with his assistant aka spidey-dog:



J and I went to a house party with a few friends. It was a friend's brother's friend's place so we didn't know anyone at all. The house had amazing decorations, I was impressed! The creepiest was the ghost in the fireplace (they set a tv behind the couch running a video of a ghost and the reflection appears in the fireplace). Good times :)

What did everyone do for Halloween this year?

Stella McCartney Spring 2010





Credit: style.com

It looks like Stella still got her groove. The spring collection is beyond perfection! It has a little bit of something for everyone. The punches of cobalt blue, printed frocks, and her signature neutrals, lace, and tailored pieces come together in a collection that truly describes a multi-faceted woman - Strong, Feminine, Sexy and Fun. My eyes were immediately drawn to bright and playful printed ruffle frocks. Each color gets better than the next! Through Stella's collection, the upcoming spring looks youthful and optimistic. For a second, I forgot about the upcoming winter.

Color my world


H&M Sweater dress, Zara wooden wedges and belt, Nicole Miller Fleur de lis tights

The changing temperature has got me thinking about vacationing somewhere warm. J's mom came up with a great idea for Christmas. Instead of each of us spending $ on presents for one another, we all take a trip to Mexico together! I'm all for it... unless there's another outbreak of h1n1. I've already started daydreaming about it. Warm sand through my bare toes, tequila shots, margaritas, and endless guacamole.. yum! Alright, back to reality... this weekend I'm determined to finish packing away my summer clothes!

Fun at the Fair





Current Elliot Jeans, Bebe ruffle top, Mom's leather jacket, Chanel baguette & flats

Call us procrastinators, J and I always go to the fair at the PNE on the very last day. We parked and saw that it was partly sunny, so I ditched the umbrella... and what do you know, it starts to pour! We ended up playing a lot of games and won 3 useless stuffed animals. Few sticks of Churros and half a bag of mini donuts later, the sun peaked out and it was absolutely gorgeous!

I'm really loving the green leather jacket I stole from my mother.. ha! I've noticed she's been trying to dress more "hip" lately and often buying things that are similar to what I own... oh mother! The gold Chanel flats are so versitile... I love them to bits and wear them everywhere... so yes they're very beaten up... the gold is fading and the wooden sole is half as thin as it used to be. It's seriously time for a new pair! I have my eye on a black and white pair but am afraid they're going to get ruined after 2 days.

Countdown to Vegas: 4 days!
