While the World Unravels

The Scarlet Room Blouse, Nixon Watch, Jeffrey Campbell Mariel Wedges, The Leather Satchel Co. bag, Bonlook sunglasses (use code FCHALET20 to save $20 off your purchases)


When I first received this piece in the mail it came as a button up dress. I decided to wear it open over cut offs a la Nicole Richie. It's a great pick me up for any casual outfit. The addition of the long, opened blouse creates a bit of fun and flair for even the most casual of looks.. Exhibit A. Cut offs and a tank top... of course, the look thirsted for some much needed height, in the form of my favorite suede wedges.

P.S. I need your help. How do you cure insomnia? I used to be a deep sleeper. Nothing woke me up. Now, it takes me hours to fall asleep. Which would be fine if I could actually stay asleep. Instead I wake up from the slightest sounds. Any solutions? I'd greatly appreciate them.

Palazzo Pants

Guess denim vest (similar by Siwy here), Isaac Mizrahi layering tank, Chan Luu charm necklace, Loft gold cuff (similar here and here), Vintage palazzo pants, Paddington bag c/o Socialite, Matiko wedges


I remember when I first got these pants. My grandmother used to wear them all of the time for long walks on the beach. One day I was browsing through an old copy of Vogue that was sitting just under the glass of her coffee table. Lauren Hutton in palazzo pants literally jumped off the page at me. I showed her and she told me about her pants. Since then, these pants have become a great summer go-to and very fun to get dressed up in. They weigh less than a postcard. My Mom says a lot of my love for Fashion comes from my grandmother who adores dressing up and shopping for hours. To this day she still dresses up, even for the grocery store. On the other hand, my Mom walked all of Disney World in heels when I was just a toddler. You can see some photos here. ;)

Fashion is an extension of who I am. It makes me happy. What else can I say?

Super Wedges

Matiko wedges


I got a bunch of emails from my Coachella post asking for a close-up of my shoes. I feel light as a feather in these. Who knew wedges could weigh so little?

I'm not sure where your comments have disappeared to in Blogger land for the previous two posts. I just hope they turn up sooner than lost socks in a dryer. I ended up chalking up yesterday's disastrous events to it being Friday the 13th. At least my Mom and Dad had a good time, if was their wedding anniversary and apparently chocolate cake and champagne was involved.

Sandals for Summer

Matiko wedges


These gorgeous sandals will marry my Summer wardrobe well this season. My favorite part is how the wedge matches the upper structure. I'm not a fan of light cork wedges paired with a darker upper. This look is a lot more subtle. Did I mention Jessica Stroup is also a fan?

Missed the Boat

Dragonflies look so mystical.

My favorite denim vest!

I feel on top of the clouds in these shoes...

A skirt with pockets is so ideal.


Threadsence pocket tank, Forever 21 floral pocket skirt, Pierre Hardy x Gap wedges,
Vintage Guess denim vest.



My first afternoon in Florida was spent in Marco Island. I enjoyed ice cream sandwiches, iced lattes, running in the beach, drinking Odwalla (oh how I missed it!) Any retailers in NC by the way? I chased dragonflies and soaked up the Sun.

Garden Dress

This dreamy dress essentially had to travel all the way from the West Coast to appease this East Coast fashionista!

Forever 21 and Bare Style rings.

OPI in Vodka & Caviar.

Dolce & Gabbana suede wedges.



I knew I had found my dream little red dress the moment I saw Natasha Poly modeling it for the Spring H&M Garden Collection.


fashiongonerogue

Of course I was upset when I found out that my new H&M was not stocking it. Luckily, I had the help of my very generous readers. After many back and forth emails and twitter messages, Sahi was able to track one down in my size at her San Diego location. Check out her blog Barely Vogue for more Spring Fashion trends and tips.



The perfect party dress for these shoes!



Now I have to let you go so I can finish packing for a very special impromptu trip. ... Stay Tuned!

Spa Week Madness

Last Week my Mom and I were lucky enough to get pampered at Synergy Spa for the day. As part of Spa Week Madness we were treated to a complimentary massage and facial. The masseuse, Holly focused on relieving tension in the neck, back, and shoulder muscles. Heather, the aesthetician, performed a clarifying facial treatment. A relaxing soundtrack helped the mind unwind and slip into a meditation like slumber while she used gentle massage techniques, warm face towels, aromatic creams, peels and oxygen infusions. After the decadent indulgences we both left in a fresh, much more relaxed state of body and mind.



H&M Garden Collection blouse, skinny jeans and blue bag. Bamboo red wedges.


A peek at their collection of creams and cleansers.

OPI nail lacquers in a varied array of Sherbet and Fruit Punch.


Synergy Spa! I highly recommend this wonderful experience to anyone in the Raleigh area.
