Feeling in much better spirits this morning. My Mother-in-Law seems to be doing better. We're still keeping an eye on her though, and praying. Thanks for all of your positive thoughts and notes!

These outfit photos (I was inspired by Nicole Richie's style of late) were taken on New Year's Eve, yet, I'm feeling just as happy today, simply knowing Aura is doing better. (BTW, these Hudson Jeans are super-stretchy and super-soft.)

Today has been dark and raining nonstop... I miss the cold, crisp Winter weather...

1 day left to Enter (and Win!) My Balenciaga Bag *Giveaway.

As promised, here are the pictures I took with my Mom yesterday showcasing my new Balenciaga bag, Sweater and glitter jeans. This two tone sweater reminds me so much of Isabel Marant + Nicole Richie -- my favorites! I can't wait to start my travels this year with my new bag. :)

Also, this is the first time (in a very long while) I've attempted a ponytail of sorts. Yay? Nay?

Revolve Clothing houses so many of my favorite labels and opens a window of inspiration with just one click of my mouse. When I first heard that they were fans of my blog, I was left completely flattered. I'm a fan of the way they piece the clothing on their site into bona fide exciting wear. Check out my Interview here.



Alexander Wang Tank. BB Dakota skirt. House of Harlow Thin Stack Ring in Rose Gold. Dolce cardigan. Aldo platform pumps.



At first I felt daunted with the task of picking out some items to model on my blog. So many designers, collections and just plain cool pieces. It was so hard to choose! I finally sought some help from my friend and fellow shopping enthusiast Stephanie. Two heads are better than one. She single handedly picked out the skirt I'm wearing, saying it reminded her of what "the leggy twenty somethings would wear" such as Whitney Port, Olivia Palermo, Alexa Chung (and myself.) With its exposed zipper set in pretty peach and deep plum tiered layers, I fell head over heels. To add to the lot, I opted for a delicately soft Alexander Wang racer back tank in gray (Stephanie has one too) and a new piece of jewelry, in the form of a delicate ring by Nicole Richie. I also picked out a MINK PINK sleeveless chambray dress. I hope the sun comes out to play soon, I cannot wait to bask in the Vitamin-D enriched light with it on this Spring!



Ps. Thanks for the sweet Interview and Feature, Tiffany!

Moon River

How was your lovely Valentine's Day Spent? I had a romantic Italian dinner out, Lobster Ravioli and all. The buttered Pumpernickel rolls were superb as was the apple pie a la mode for dessert (topped with a pineapple chutney sauce.)

I thought it best to pop in my Anniversary diamond earrings, don red lipstick and a try my hand at a fancy up 'do (almost Audrey in Breakfast at Tiffany's.) The song playing, "Moon River" was what we requested of the live band to play during dinner (a la Piano Jazz.) ♥

Top: Basics. Bandage Skirt: American Apparel. Clutch: Vintage. Wedges: Nine West.

My shoes are from Nine West which I impulsively bought a few years ago, when Nicole Richie was seen in nothing but the originals (circa 2006) by Christian Louboutin.

All Hands on Deck: American Apparel and Chuck Taylor

As silly as I know it may sound, I can't help but to feel exhilarated when I spot a celebrity I admire wearing something that I also own. Like this AA raglan top for example, seen on Mary Kate Olsen- quite a few times, or the fact that Mary Kate and Nicole Richie both seem to like Converse sneakers as much as I do (I've been wearing them since the 6th grade!!) And how about the fact that they both chose to pair their all American Chuck Taylor lo top Converse with grey sweaters? Genius.

These photos were taken in the old house, but up until now, I had forgotten all about them. I do however wear my American Apparel raglan top all of the time. I'm debating on whether to order another, to sleep in? They're just that soft.

Top: American Apparel. Dress/Bag: Vintage. Sneakers: Converse by Chuck Taylor.

Queen of Hearts, I like strawberries with my wine

I was drawn to this blouse after having seen Nicole Richie in this little Chanel number. The tiny images of airplanes and yachts really grabbed my attention. Not to mention the bright pop of red, which is always a fun color to have in your wardrobe. For the new readers, I previously wore this top in my first v-log here.

An exciting email arrived for me this morning! I had to jump up and dance a little. The special surprise is on its way to me via snail mail, as we speak. It's ever so gorgeous, in all it's purple (my favorite!) splendor.

Top, belt and bag: Vintage. Shorts: Guess. Heels: forever 21.
