" COLLECTIONS " Coffee Mugs

The Grinch / Disney World / Candy Cane Christmas / Gilmore Girls Luke's Coffee thanks to Caroline! / I ♥ NY (in pink + white thanks to C!)



First off, Happy Friday! Today, I wanted to share with you, one of my favorite things to collect. Coffee mugs! No matter where I visit, or the Holiday, I always seem to be stocking up. I have so many in fact, I rotate according to mood and season. Right now these are my Holiday and Christmas season mugs. Next to books, there's nothing I love more than Coffee!


Which Mug is your favorite?

What are your NYE Plans tomorrow night? To be honest, it's not my favorite Holiday. It's boring "staying up" until Midnight, since I do that everyday anyway.. the fun part is the Ferris Wheel ride at Midnight and the dinner party we're planning. I'll be cooking in the Kitchen all afternoon.
Which I love to do! - Have a Happy New Year!! :)

Shorts in Central Park

Vintage Coat, Theory sweater, Nightingale bag, W.A.R. studded shorts


Here are the last of the photos from my trip to New York in February. Among attending fashion shows, scheduled appointments, shopping and lunch dates, a bit of sightseeing was just as crucial. This was my first time in New York with snow. It has a way of adding a little extra magic and nostalgia. After taking these shots, I sat down on a park bench to rest and watch two adorable daschund puppies play.

New York, I miss you.

New York in Pictures

Believe it or not, I still have a few photos left to share from my whirlwind stint in New York for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week earlier this month. These pictures were taken between Michael Kors and Milly. I met up with Andy for a much needed glamorous break of coffee and interviews. You can actually check out one of the video interviews for Bond No. 9 perfume on facebook here. I swear we talked a lot more than that though...

+ Pinkberry!
+ Soho
+ The High Energy
+ I feel at home...

(P.S.)
I'm on Netflix. Recommend away your best Netflix suggestions. I signed up for both mail and instant online streaming. It's an early Christmas present to myself. I see one movie or show every night before bed....

Chanel in Soho

One night, while in New York, Alejandro and I went window shopping and dined on Cuban food. Both were scrumptious. When I arrived at Chanel, I wanted to go inside, unfortunately it was late and already closed. I felt a little like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's gazing into the windows; minus the croissant, Givenchy dress and lavish jewels... of course.




{Vintage coat, INC. skinny jeans, Coach bag, Ralph Lauren watch, Fiorentini + Baker boots}

I wore these boots all over the city and am slowly breaking them in. They are definitely becoming a Winter staple in addition to my Mom's vintage, ruffled coat. ...I hope she doesn't mind. ;)
