My First Louboutins!

Christian Louboutin Pigalle 120 Nude Pumps


Christian Louboutin was already a household name for me. I always admired the classic heels and the pretty red soles. They spoke in French to me. I never actually splurged on a pair before, afraid they would prove too difficult to walk in. Au contraire, these Pigalle pumps have to be the most comfortable, easy to walk in, stilettos I own to date! I'm now left with a serious itch to splurge on pair after pair...after pair.

Bel Air High, Castles in the Sky

Wildfox Couture Bel Air High beach jumper, BDG via Urban Outfitters acid wash skinny jeans, Aldo pumps, Vintage bag


Whenever I wear these heels, I feel seven feet tall. I am infatuated with pairing sky-high platforms and über skinny jeans. Since the jumper reminded me of the Nineties, in every good way possible, I just had to pair it with acid wash skinnies. The fact that these pumps remind me of Minnie Mouse, doesn't hurt either. Who wouldn't want to be reminded of the most magical place on Earth with every glance at their feet?

Something Blue

Vintage coat and dress. Heels from Miami. Vintage and Forever 21 rings. Urban Outfitters beret.

This was inspired by Carrie Bradshaw during her short stint in Paris. You know that final, majestic sixth season of Sex and The City? Influence by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen is a must read, when I first bought it, and still today.

Lavender Flowers

One of the things I will miss most about Miami and Florida is... the notion of flowers; year round, especially lavender flowers. But, where I am moving to next... will give me a taste of actual seasons. I've always been a fan of boots, sweaters and outerwear. Before, I could only dream about what it must be like to actually get the chance to dress this way for more than a few days out of the year. Here, you're actually sweating in them under the hot Miami sun, begging for thin pieces of breathable cotton in their place...

Did you know that there is a Wikifashion? Check out my page here.

Pink Minx

Sweety watching me from behind the glass..




Detail shot





Went to a friend's Birthday party last night in my new Forever 21 dress. I am in love, lust, fascination over this hot pink, zipper dream filled dress. Two-parts 80's, One-part Kelly Kapowski, and One-Part Hawaiian Princess. To give it an even more nitty-gritty 80's attitude I threw on my favorite vintage black studded messenger bag and slipped into some seriously Matrix bondage heels.. On another note, I just learned today (from my very informative twitter followers, thank you!) that caffeine is actually good for curing a terrible headache, yet another Pro to add to my list of why I love (and need) coffee on a daily basis...

I actually picked out the dress because of the vibrancy that the hot pink gave off, as well as the mix of both tough and pretty factoring into the fit and overall silhouette. Yes there were plenty of ruffles and frills, but there was something "tough" about it too, and very, very 80's; so of course, I just had to get it.
The dress also didn't scream Forever 21 as much as it screamed every label I ever lusted over: Alexander Wang, Herve Leger, Topshop, and even Helmut Lang. All this under $30? A deal of a deal of a deal! :]

Delta Bay

I haven't done this in a while, a post about the girl behind Fashion Chalet; me. In a semi-list format I shall reveal some more... I can't wake up without putting my contacts in and warming an oversize mug of mocha coffee, I enjoy sipping it while catching repeats of It's On With Alexa Chung and Keeping Up With the Kardashians; or anything else equally salacious and guilt-inducing. I used to collect stamps as a kid and then started collecting friendship bracelets, now I collect shoes. When I can't fall asleep, I like to dream about winning the lottery and what I would do with it. I also like to daydream about my favorite celebrity or fashion icon letting me inside her closet to pick whatever pleases my senses. I think window shopping is best during the Holidays; as the scent of cinnamon from Starbucks coffee wafts by, familar tunes caress my ears and a comfy scarf is mandatory. Before bed, I brush my teeth, read a good book or flip through a magazine while playing Bejeweled to a Genius mix on my iPod touch.

What Spiderwebs One Weaves

Little photo shoot to showcase the necklace I turned into a spiderweb-like adornment. Overly excited with my new shoes. The minute I saw them I knew I had to have them. I sorta have a thing for zippers and anything with a slight (or major platform.) Who can go wrong with adding a little olive green / gray into their wardrobe?




Thanks Sour Cherry for the tag. List 6 things that make you happy (I tag any of you that want to fill this out too.)



1. The Beach / Ocean
2. Reading in bed
3. Dancing
4. Coffee with TV marathons (like Golden girls today, I'm a "Rose")
5. Traveling
6. Collecting shoes




( Forever 21 Bodysuit and heels. Vintage, diy Cut offs and Necklace. )

I'd rather be lucky...

After watching Match Point last week, directed by Woody Allen, and with none other than Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the lead role (as well as Scarlett Johansson) I felt an inclination to hear her singing voice. I found this remake of "Summertime" on iTunes and instantly fell in love with it.


Who else has seen Match Point? Thoughts? Reviews? I was left in both shock and amazement by the end of it all. Jon Rhys aces it again! From beginning to end, everything tied in together so nicely; the script, the storyline, the acting. The only word to leave my lips once the film was over......? Genius.

Chinese Laundry

Thanks to the lovely Martha over at Chinese Laundry for my new shoes. Definitely a mood lifter after being told my Tribal wedges were sold out at Office in my size. These babies are just as haute!

I'm trying to play catch-up on comments, I promise to get back to your questions and comments really soon. Just know that I do read each and every single one and find myself smiling and happy with each word I receive.

What are your weekend plans? I rented a bunch of movies in hopes of chilling out on the cozy new sofa with popcorn (melted milk chocolate kisses on top, please) and chilled bottles of water. It's supposed to rain.... If the sun decides to show her lovely face, then to the Water park with plenty-of-slides it is.
