Romantic Bohemian

When I first found this white eyelet dress, I knew I had to try and channel D&G S/S 2010.

Part of the fun in blogging is unearthing the perfect setting to match the mood and feel of the outfit. When Alex and I came across this spot, with hay strewn about the floor, I instantly thought about Chanel S/S 2010.




D&G and Chanel: the perfect marriage!




After careful consideration, I've come to realize what my "style" and personal preferences truly are. I tend to gravitate towards feminine, soft frilly pieces with girly skirts and prints. Native American influenced fringe, braids, feathers and turquoise also enliven me. Bohemian rings true with my aura.

Twilight

I have some odd collecting habits. One of them being that yes, I do collect/save various Starbucks cups from Christmas, etc. I kind of have the hook-up and whenever I go in they give me pastry samples and free cups. Namely from this one young barista, who always seems to blush when I come in for my drink... lol. If you are reading this, "hey."


What do you like to collect?

more & more & more

"Let's just pretend..that we go all the way back .." - Illinois

• My favorite fruit of the moment is cantaloupe.

• This weekend I hope to achieve one of the secrets I keep talking about....

• I watched Devil Wears Prada again over the weekend and I'm one of those girls who would kill to have Andy Sachs's job!! I love Meryl Streep's character, Miranada, as well. In many ways she reminds me of my Grandmother who is always up on the latest trends and shopping hot spots. If she could re-do her career choices, I have no doubt in my mind I would have seen her as an Editrix for Vogue or its equal counterparts..... Emily Blunt is perfect in this as well (Emily) from her glorious red hair down to her wardrobe!

• I'm on such a Weeds high! I need to fuel my mind with at least one or two episodes per night. I just started Season 3. Last night was "Brick Dance" ..... watch Nancy Botwin go at it here.... hahah! There was something so empowering about seeing her break out of her 'shell' and do this, right?

• A new header... because Isabeli Fontana is sooo über crush worthy, no? Besides, I love her cocker spaniel hairdo in that picture and the chains on her shoes and the grey skinny jeans. Thanks to knight cat and the fashionspot for the image.
  

Military Blazer: eBay. Vintage belt: Gucci. Tights: Target. Suede Booties: Minnetonka.

And thanks to ModePass Flair magazine for featuring me in my Sequins!!

Stay in and order some Chinese ...

• I have a hunger for some Chinese food.
• There is some very special news on the way, blog wise, that is. And I can't wait to share it all with you!!
  
• I love Odwalla's protein drinks. I swear they should endorse me. I always have at least 3 stocked in the fridge at all times.
• I wish with all my heart to have Princess Sparkle. (flickr)
  


• My Valentine's Day plans? Cake, chocolates, a small family gathering, and a really fun surprise (that I hope to unveil in the blog soon!)
• You are listening to the original score from the Sex and the City movie. Aaron Zigman is genius!

Weardrobe Challenge #1: American Apparel Circle Scarf

Suz and Rich of Weardrobe contacted me to invent a few different ways of wearing this lovely purple American Apparel circle scarf that they generously sent my way. We're calling it the Sisterhood of the Traveling Scarf! And this was my first "cozy look" taken just after a wonderful Chinese lunch. Here I am clad in my glasses and a houndstooth print newsboy cap. It was a chilly afternoon, so a sweater and my favorite ankle hi Minnetonka trampers helped in completing my cozy wares.

Click for Sweety. She was also out and about in the sun with us that day!! =]

Cap: TopGear. Sweater: Vintage (thank you, Mom!) Pants: Mudd. Shoes: Minnetonka. Circle Scarf: American Apparel.

Morning Glory in Gray

I am not a morning person.. but.. I so love an early morning when I can have toasted (plain) English muffins with strawberry jam and butter which I then proceed to "dunk" into my Mocha café. I love waking up early to go to Disney world, pulling on sweats for class, warm chocolate croissants, watching MTV with breakfast, staying in bed with a really good song on my iPod, today's was "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay haha! Here's to those wonderful gray early mornings.

Raglan: American Apparel. Necklace: forever 21. Shorts: diy cut offs from Blue Cult.Tights: Urban Outfitters. Boots: Minnetonka.

Happy Friday! ♥


Sweety, my monochromatic little puppy, stops to say hello. =]

A Bohemian Princess for Halloween

In the spirit of the holiday, I started my morning with chocolate brownie moisturizing shampoo. And instantly began the day after a homemade cinnamon latte, with mocha mixed in.

Thinking of Halloweens past, I remember when I was Little Red Riding Hood in the 4th grade. Minnie Mouse in the 5th grade (my little brother was Mickey!) And my favorite, a Ballerina Princess (tiara, tutu, wand and all) when I was 6 years old. I thought it fit to have a Princess theme tied in with Bohemia and my ever present favorite, Pocahontas, for this year.

Happy Halloween! Have fun. Be safe! Trick or treat; hope you get something good to eat. ;) I have a dinner party to attend. Until next time, Ciao! my lovelies....

Bohemian Like You

Feeling in a Bohemian mood, I turned to my brown 3-layer fringed Minnetonka boots. I'm sure many of you remember this dress. I thought the pop of color would complement the boots well. A few golden accents, and voila! instant frivolity.

On a side note, when you get the chance, I highly recommend checking out The Supermelon. They have recently updated their look, Bookshelf, & Have a Fresh Talk with Jack Siegel, along with the addition of a forum.

Have a fabulous TGIF and weekend, lovelies! Ciao! ♥

Textbook Love

My Birthday is less than a week away. I'm so excited. Can't decide between going out for Greek or Italian that night. Thoughts? I hope I am surprised with a vanilla cake topped off with vanilla frosting, sprinkles and strawberries. OPa!
