Taking my new bag out for a spin this morning. I couldn't wait to rock this new snakeskin coat with my Givenchy bag.. they seemed to attract each other, not unlike magnets. Oh, and my latest obsession for Fall/Winter season? Leather pants!! I want more.. can't get enough. And finally, debuting the Stella McCartney heels. Which I can say are definitely keepers. I'm wearing them as much as I can until tights come into play..

" NEW IN " Givenchy Nightingale

Givenchy Nightingale Large Shopper


Say hello to my new little friend. I already feel like this new Givenchy bag will come in handy over the dark, cold Winter months. Black goes with everything. A classic staple.. and the suede red lining inside, completes it. However, the reptilian style of the bag is what made me pounce! What do you think of my new bag? Tell me how you'd like to see me wearing it..

By the way, Congrats to (1) Rachella and (2) Anthi the two winners of the Storets Gift Vouchers Giveaway!! Enjoy. :)

It was so cold the day I took these photos. Supposedly this is the coldest Winter North Carolina has had in a while. I was silly to forget my gloves. The soft, cashmere snood (a scarf/hood hybrid) from Le Col kept my neck nice and toasty. I was excited to learn that Anna Wintour has one too. Finding the perfect Parka had been on my mind for the longest time. I found this one by chance in Forever 21, the absolute very last one and in my size, while Christmas shopping. And finally, the debut of the other Balenciagas I recently scored along with the sandals in my previous post. These are the platform loafers I have coveted since 2007. I've seen both Vanessa Traina and Ashley Olsen (two choice tastemakers) donning them in this particular color before, too.

Nightingale

I first fell for the silhouette of this bag when I saw it on Ashley Olsen's arm a few years ago. Too bad Givenchy sold out faster than my eyes could even pause for a blink. Luckily, I was surprised with a lovely, nearly identical, twin. Talking about the blink of an eye, Christmas Eve is almost here. Thursday to be exact. How time flies! I spend the entire year just waiting for Thanksgiving and Christmas. My two very favorite Holidays!! What are your plans?

American Chic handbag. Juicy Couture coat. Barneys New York sweater dress. Forever 21 skinny jeans. Donni Charm scarf. Dirty Laundry boots.

First snow fall.. Dec. 18.

Southern Belle

Goodbye July and Hello August! The sparkly red bow in my hair was the firecracker to my July. You can find it along with other equally creative designs by Lisa Kathryn here (http://www.lisakathryn.com).

I was so excited to debut this Vintage find of a skirt, I altered the hem (made it shorter and then gave it a higher waist fit) I gathered the extra fabric in back to make a sort of bouffant poof. Sometimes making something old become new again is more fun than dropping a few hundred bones on the latest trend. Deciding to pair the finished look with my " Givenchy " heels (could almost be twins in design) just seemed right.


You are listening to Take My Breathe Away by Hollywood, Mon Amour. I love this song, originally by Berlin, and every other cover or remix out there. It's such a romantic "in love" with someone song.

Sequins and Champagne! NYE '08

I spent the last day of 2008 watching the Dark Knight, drinking champagne and enjoying a lovely meal of Lobster tails, grilled veggies and 3 desserts. Cherry strudel. Carrot cake. And Key lime pie! Not to mention strutting around in my freshly arrived sequined leggings from Express and my favorite Givenchy look alike birdcage heels. I was almost too sleepy to stay up. After the movie and dinner, we went to see the Fireworks display. Always an awesome experience. I hope you rang in the new year right. Once again, a hundred percent of thanks goes out to my little brother who took these snazzy photographs. I love you! ♥

Here's to a fabulous new year of making friends, creating memories and encompassing fashion firsts! I hope you'll join me for this ride! I love every single one of you- my readers, supporters and confidants. I would kiss you all, if I could.
