" NAIL POLISH " Holiday Glitter and Sequins

One of my vices is buying Nail Polish. I remember starting my collection around 11 years old. It's only grown exponentially since then. Like barracudas, I too am attracted to shiny, reflective things. My collection integrates pastels, neons and neutrals. If I pass by a Nail Polish display, I can't help browsing and leaving with a bottle or two. My favorite brands? O.P.I. (super chip resistant!) Chanel (for the whimsical color wheel.) Essie (for splashes of punchy color.) I also enjoy wearing Deborah Lippmann (for a Party on your fingernails!) I have yet to try Nars or Dior. Any reviews you care to share?




P.S. CONGRATULATIONS to our Sequin Felix Rey Handbag Giveaway Winner: Jamie!

"We Are Stars."
Perhaps I took inspiration from The Pierces or Dolce and Gabbana for my look today? Oh and by the way, I cut my hair again. Can you tell? I liked how long it was getting, so I only had about 2" trimmed off the ends and the face framing layering redone. Since the temperate dropped about 15 degrees since Halloween, tights were an essential ingredient for this leather mini outfit. I can't help feeling a bit like Rory Gilmore in my uniform-ready saddle shoes. I'm quite fond of the Fifties and its Fashions.

Happy Wednesday! :)

Neon Pink and Sequins

Modekungen aviator sunglasses, Hot Topic Neon Pink Skinny Jeans, Vintage Pink Blouse and Neon Sequined Top, Similar Pink Sandals


This neon green sequined blouse, believe it or not, was my Grandmother's in the 70's. I revamped it by taking out the buttons and turning it into a loose fitting jacket. Perfect for tucking into pants. The sequins shimmer in the sunlight as if by magic. So here I am, once again playing with brights and color blocking. I threw in a few splashes of pink for fun. How do you like this casual outfit of the day?

Special thanks to my Mom for taking these photos..

I was invited a few weeks ago to try Boutique by Forever 21. A new design to the Forever 21 store and collection; paralleling vintage. I'm infatuated with this sweater tunic top. Feeling like Pocahontas in the unique print and sequins; which only seemed to dazzle more in the light, I pranced by the lake. I can't wait for Spring and Summer to wear it as a dress with some funky footwear! You can check out my feature along with some other photos, bloggers and interview here.

Tomorrow Is Yesterday

I feel so flattered to be a part of Modcloth's Blogger of the Moment Feature. When they sent me this namesake dress I instantly thought of Balmain and how much I needed to pair it with my beloved Sam Edelman Zoe boots. A multitude of rings completeed the look. I can't get over how many cute things Modcloth.com carries. In fact, I even put together a little wish list of my personal favorites that you can take a glance at.

Modcloth dress. Sam Edelman Zoe boots. Forever 21 and AfricanTeaParty rings.

Flash in the Pan

It's hard adjusting to a new way of life, new roads, restaurants, location and climate. I have noticed my taste in food changing as well, I find myself leaning more and more towards warm things like soups and Hot Cocoa and less of the fruity or salad infused options. New routines are also beginning to pop up, such as craving more books to read. At night, when it drops down to the low 40º's all I want to do is crawl under the covers with a good book to read. Which brought to mind the last time I felt this way; when I was a little girl. I remember being taken to the library, back then (and still now) felt like being led to the Holy Grail. I'd spend hours perusing the Children's bookshelves for just the perfect reads. I feel young and alive again now, as I once did then.

I'd like to ask you, what were some of your childhood favorites? And what are you reading now?

Vintage bag and wool blazer, Urban Outfitters ballet flats and tights, Posh Pants sequin shorts, Hermes scarf
