Pony Hair

2011-11-11T10:50:00.001-05:00

shoes, diane von furstenberg zias

With my Olympus camera (my favorite birthday present) in the repair shop for over a month. I felt as though pictures with any other camera was not up to par for my blog and its viewers. It gave me a chance to focus on myself and everything going on in my now so busy life. Since then I have moved to a new apartment, had life changing thoughts about my life and career, and focused on me time. Now that I have my camera back I'm ready to dive back into blogging head on.

Pony hair. I have been obsessed with it's arrival since pre-fall fashion shows and my closet keeps on growing with different styles. They had an edge to any outfit whether it be jeans, black pants, or a dress. These shoes are the second piece of pony hair that I've added to my closet this season and I wear them with endless possibilities.

This gazebo by the water is my spot when I go home. With the crazy city that I live in it's great to remember the relaxing place that I am from. Since the weather is starting to get cooler I have been drawn to blacks and whites. I wore my pony hair leopard pumps to break up the dull colors. I have been addicted to anything leopard and pony hair lately my closet is just full of it.

Straight With It

Humidity has not been my friend for the past couple of weeks. It always feels like no product or hours spent with a straightener will ever keep my hair straight, that is until Hana. When the people from Misikko sent me a package it was like a gift from the hair heavens. The morrocan oils made me hair feel super soft and kept the frizz in tact. This straightener has been my little weapon for the weather and the flat iron is winning.

Just A Slip

dress, diane von furstenberg; sandals, havianas; sunnies, prada

There is nothing like the sand beneath your feet. I lived in this dress all week, during the day it was a easy beach cover up by taking out the slip and viola - a beach cover up. For night I just re-attached the slip added my favorite wedges and it's the perfect dress. It's a complete two for one. Before my trip to Miami I was longing for the sun but now I am all tanned out. I'm actually now looking forward to the colder months that lay ahead.

Another City

My time in Miami was short but was completely relaxing and necessary. I forgot about time, schedules and stress. It's fun how you can go from one city to another and get a completely different lifestyle. Recognize my top (seen here) and shorts (seen here) seem familiar? They were the best two pieces I packed both super easy and comfortable, and can be worked into anything. I love how shorts are making a come back and they are not the super casual / lazy equivalent that they used to be.

Miami Lovin'

sunnies, rayban; bathing suit, victorias secret

Lately I have been using Miami as my getaway locale. The beach is clean, the air is fresh, and the atmosphere is simply relaxing. I packed way too much clothes forgetting that I only needed bathing suits for the beach. To avoid different tan lines I pretty much lived in this Victoria's Secret bathing suit. You can never go wrong with a LBB (little black bakini). It was a much needed break from my crazy life in the city.

I'm Back

I'm back into my blogging thing and it feels so so good. I've really missed spending hours getting lost in the blog-o-sphere and I am so happy to be able to add my fashion input. I got this dress late in the season but I am in love with the colors and patterns. When you find something so great like this you have it wear it as minimally as you can.

never ending summer days

Summer in the city has literally worn me out. The days are longer, hotter, and my days are busier than ever. Even though the summer has been a whirl-wind I cant imagine the summer being over. I feel like all my summer pieces haven't had the right amount of wear and my summer shoes haven't been worn enough. I'm not ready to pack it all away for the colder seasons.

Camera Shy

Since my camera broke three weeks ago I feel like no picture has been good enough for my blog. My long weeks and short weekends shacked up in my apartment to hide from hurricane Irene have not helped my feelings of not wanting to snap a photo or two. Somewhere after organizing my life and the hurricane came the most amazing package from Misikko. I have playing with this flat iron for a few weeks now and it is just amazing. My hair feels softer than ever and stays straighter longer. I am in love with my new straightener and ready for some photos!

LW in DC

My family took a small trip to New York City then Washington, DC. Since I had time off of work Joe and I decided to take a road trip (the most fun ever) and meet them in D.C.. Since I have been to the city to sight see mulpitle times we took this trip to enjoy ourselves at the roof-top pool, shop, and eat. If you follow me on twitter you know exactly each place I went to. I just love how up-and-coming the city is; the shops in Georgetown stretch for miles and include Rag & Bone and Kate Spade while, there are both new restaurants (Mike Isabella's restaurant Graffiato is a must) and old ones, like Serendipity 3 from my new home in New York. I had such a great time surrounded by the modern city and my family.

Even though summer is barely over (I really still feel as though summer never started) I decided to change my hair into something more natural and appropriate for pre-fall. I walked out of the salon -my regular salon that I visited all the way in Boston- dreading my decision and missing my drastic ombre-do. But each time I see myself in the mirror I like the color more and more. I guess it was the change I need for the changing fashion season.

playing with heat

2011-07-24T21:25:00.000-04:00

dress, unknown; bag, botkier; sandals, coach; sunnies, rayban; necklace, ken & dana design

An unbearable heat wave took over the city this weekend. Even though I tried my best to keep hydrated and stay in as much as possible I had to sneak outside for some photos. During the un-breathable heat black was probably not the smartest pieces to wear, but low front made me feel the closest to naked that I could be. The only thing that I like about the heat is that my hair can get as curly as it can while still looking put together. I love when you have an excuse to be all natural - thank you heat!
Tonight, I'm en route to Boston to be with my family for a few days. I am so happy to have some time off to just relax and spend quality time with them!

the high line

dress, gypsy 05; shoes, missoni; bag, louis vuitton; sunnies, tom ford

Since I recently became a New Yorker I still enjoy doing tourist activities. This past weekend I took Joe to my some of my favorite and daily spots which included Union Square and the High Line. We found new coffee shops and indulged in buttery steaks. For our city adventure I wore this tie-dyed dress (also seen here) for a comfy and casual look. Summer pieces are so easy to change it only takes one new accessory or sandal and voila a new look.

the ombre

2011-07-18T08:49:00.000-04:00

top and shorts, dvf; shoes, jeffrey campbell, bag, coach, sunnies, rayban

Joe came to visit me again this weekend and I finally got a chance to have someone snap my photo. I never fully appreciated all that we did for me until I moved. But this is all part of me learning, growing, and being more independent (so far I don't know how well I am doing).

Afraid to go to another hair stylist I have been letting the ombre grow out of my hair naturally. I'm not sure how I feel about the results. I love how your hair defines you so I guess my definition is currently lazy.

melting

2011-07-14T16:12:00.000-04:00

outtake from previous post

Melting. The sun has been scorching for the past week hitting over 100 degree Fahrenheit. It leaves for an unpleasant summer day and hot summer nights. I'm ready for a cool front to come in and save me from the heat.

Hot Child In The City

2011-07-06T08:26:00.000-04:00

dress and sandals, dvf; bag, kooba; sunnies, tom ford; bangles, david yurman

The temperatures keep on rising in the city and every time I try to escape to the beach rain ruins my plans. My cool me off is a daily iced latte from Ninth Street Espresso. The prices can be steep for a cup of joe but it is completely worth it. This is one of the my most simple maxi dresses that I own this season. The fit transitions so easy from day to night. My only concern is the piece of string that was suppose to be a sash belt. It just is so unnecessary that I turn it into a bracelet instead.

Party In The Back

I'm never really a fan of the element of surprise; my boyfriend can vouge for me. My days are packed with multiple schedules and if something isn't there it isn't happening. Without my schedule my life feels like an utter cluster and complete mess. I'm trying to work on being less organized and enjoying things as they come, but when it comes to clothing surprise can be a good thing.

On The Hunt

With New York City constantly evolving and new neighborhoods trending I feel as though I can't sit still. I've already starting going out on a hunt for a new neighborhood and apartment to call home. I finally think that I found a city that is as crazy and up to speed as me!

dress, dvf; shoes, jeffrey campbell

Joe visiting the city gave us the perfect excuse to get lost in the Manhattan for a couple of nights. We crashed at the Smyth TriBeCa which became our hideout in the city while we ordered breakfast in bed, walked miles to go shopping in SoHo, and had Italian at Il Cantanori. Even though this is my home the change in neighborhood gave me a feel like I was on a mini-vaca or a "stay-cation."

Sticking with one color in your color palette doesn't need to be a bore. I always play with colors, so I decided it was time to play with neutrals and nudes. The lack of color doesn't always show a lack of style. I stayed with my typical simplistic ways this weekend while exploring my new home. I'm quickly learning how to take the subway and which route gets me to my shopping destinations.

cant get enough

When I love something I find myself wearing it over and over again no matter how many options I have. For example; my new Chloe sunnies (that I got super cheap at the Nordstrom half-yearly sale) I must have over ten pairs of sunglasses but I am constantly reaching for these ones when I step out for the day. I love how the size over powers my face but the small details give them a feminine touch. This picture was shot by my bestie Jess of Hell or High Fashion during my goodbye over coffee on Newbury Street in Boston. Even though it's only been two weeks since then both of our lives have become so different.

through my eyes

2011-06-13T08:41:00.000-04:00

pictures in artopoulos bakery

i have only been living in the city for a week now but it is now my home. my Greek neighborhood lets me step outside the rush of the city and get away while staying in touch with my Greek roots. i found my favorite local places for my coffee, late night chinese, and convenient store. I took these pictures at Artopoulos my weekly stop for bread, Greek cookies, and authentic Euro frappes is Artopoulos. the whole journey seems surreal and i hope that i will soon wake up so i can start living and appreciate that i am living my dream.

the weekend is finally here and all i can do is long for sunday; my favorite time of the week. it's the one weekend day that anything can be pulled together for the perfect casual outfit for brunch and some light shopping. joe took these pictures of me last sunday, the last day of my long weekend move to NYC. the weekend felt as though it would never end and i really didn't have an intention on the week beginning. but it's time in my life for this new adventure and i am so happy and grateful.

My new place in New York City is quickly starting to feel like home. My neighborhood is cute and quiet and thankfully there is a starbucks just two blocks down. This weekend I must have visited every place that I could and even started to become a regular at the local bagel shop and CVS. This is an unbelievable new chapter in my life.

My life feels like an absolute mess; my days are filled with errands, packing, and organizing while my nights are spent saying bye to some of my best friends. Today finally felt like my day off so I decided to go on a more casual route with my outfit. I have been itching to go shopping but know that the shopping in New York City is not even close to comparable. My wallet and closet will thank me for waiting.

its finally time

My weekends have been feeling busier than ever so I took a second to go to the beach so my life can stand still for a moment with the sand beneath my toes. I'll miss having this just minutes away from my home when I move to New York City (yes, that's my big announcement). I am feeling so many emotions that I have become numb to the whole moving process. I'm lucky to have the support of everyone and that's the thing that keeps me moving.

one piece wonder

2011-05-26T20:29:00.000-04:00

dress, dvf; bag, su-shi; flats, tory burch; sunnies, prada

A dress. I feel like I am constantly repeating how I am influenced by singular pieces like a dress or statement jewelry that do not need much work to shine. That is the main reason for my gravitational pull towards Diane von Furstenberg pieces; her cuts, colors, and patterns can stand on their own. I love making my pieces the fore-runner so that my small and meaningful accessories don't over power my outfit.

P.S.- I have exciting news to share with you soon.

Jumper

jumper & shoes, dvf

One-piece; I decided this spring that I would invest in a flow-y, one piece ensemble. One that didn't need much accessories and fit in my closet perfectly (aka me back to my minimal ways). If you follow me on twitter you already know that I recently played dress up trying on pieces for fun and not really looking to buy. But, after I got home I decided that this runway piece had to be in my closet.

Patterned Statement

2011-05-04T11:07:00.000-04:00

Sometimes patterns make a statement on their own. Recently statement pieces have been taking over my closet. I actually can't say that I hate it at all. The bold pieces give me more chances to wear pieces like these black jeans which have been waiting to get worn in a little.

Minimalist

2011-05-02T14:47:00.002-04:00

I hate to admit that I fall into the category of a minimalist but the signs are all there. For me an outfit doesn't need to have excess, but needs to flow and seem put together.

top, topshop; pants and bag (harper day bag), dvf; shoes, jeffrey campbell; sunnies tom ford

I stay true to my minimalistic ways from my daily makeup of concealer, bronzer, and eyeliner to my three pieced outfits and small accessories. For me less is more and more just seems like too much.

welcome

2011-05-01T22:25:00.002-04:00

dvf harper day bag; dvf gladiator flats

Welcome to my closet. Currently my harper day bag (seen here) and gladiator flats (both from DVF) are my favorite pieces. These gladiator flats are my newest addition to my rapidly -and much needed- growing shoe collection. I cannot wait to wear them more and more in the summer days and nights. I can already envision them with flowing maxi dresses and short shorts. Ah those summer days.

Feeling Spring

2011-04-27T16:18:00.016-04:00

It's the end of April and is finally starting to feel like spring. I didn't know how much longer I could wait for the warm weather and sunny skies.

My trailing skirt via shopnastygal (also seen here) is currently hogging up all my wear time. I find myself begging the weather for warmer days so I can wear it more and more. The neutral color leaves so much room for accessories so each time I wear it feels like it's the first time I'm pulling it out of my closet.

Playing With The Sun

2011-04-21T12:06:00.001-04:00

The sun made a small appearance all month long as if we were playing a game of hide and seek. During the day it continues to play peek a boo, coming and going as it pleases. Currently, I feel like I am not living in Boston but in some gloomy place that I must escape from. I cannot wait for when the sun is here to stay for a while.

Theres Always Space For White

2011-04-15T10:10:00.001-04:00

top and bag, diane von furstenberg; jeans, true religion; wedges, trouve

I was horrified to learn that flared jeans were coming back in trend. But, instead of fearing it I decided to embrace it. My trick no matter what your height - wedges. They make everything proportionate and elongated so I went with my minimally flared white jeans. I never believed that there was a certain time to wear white. There is always space for white in my outfit whether its on my tank top in the winter or jeans in the spring. Make room for white it will let the other colors you are wearing shine.

The Perfect Blazer

blazer, top, & bag, dvf; jeans, juicy couture; shoes, sam edelman; bracelets, david yurman

I'm not one to wear blazers. For my petite 5'1 frame they always seemed like I am a little child wearing a blazer that is two times too big for me. If that wasn't the case it then look liked I was trying too hard to be a business professional (something that I am not - not yet at least). Is was never something that I would grab to throw over a top or dress until I found this one from DVF. The style fit me perfectly and the silk jersey makes it both casual or dressy. Finally a (lonely) blazer for my closet.

Warming My Soul

The sun has the amazing power to warm me completely to my soul. I am such a happier person when the sun is there during the day to warm everything. I guess you could call me solar powered. I took these pictures during my weekend home at my favorite lake spot. I like my weekend attire to be completely casual to help me (and my mind) relax and recharge for the upcoming week.

Black, Blush, and Flowers all over

2011-04-06T11:30:00.000-04:00

coat, top, and skirt, dvf; wedges, trouve

The key to a perfect outfit is the right tailor. Since I am super petite I have a hard time finding pieces that fit me right so I tailor most things that I own. I actually love when my pieces come back from the tailors because they feel like they are mine and only mine. I just brought this skirt home from the tailors and love the way it fits. I could be in a room surrounded by girls wearing the same dress as me but I would still feel like my skirt is unique and different.

Beach Days {Miami}

2011-04-04T11:58:00.000-04:00

My time in Miami was mostly spent on the beach which is why I decided to dedicate a post to my beach outfit rather than my outfits. With the current rain/snow that we are getting in New England I feel like those days in the sun are way behind me. Hopefully the weather will start to get better if not another vacation may be needed!

As I already said in my previous post my vacation left me with plenty of memories and little outfit posts (which I am kicking myself about). But, I was glad to give my boyfriend a break from being behind the camera capturing my latest outfit and we got to enjoy our time together. It was a completely romantic time (he's a crazy romantic and I am far from one) so I was glad to at least give him a break from what I love best, my blog. To make myself feel like I was more of a romantic I wore head to toe pink.These photos were taken before I dyed my hair (which I absolutely love) - can't wait to show you.

{my pictures from Miami}

My week of vacation in South Beach, Miami was full of relaxing and melting away with the sun. I found that I took less outfit pictures and more pictures of memories which was what my picture collection began to lack. I'm proud of myself for the pictures I took - I can't take all the credit though my new Olympus pen camera is so great and easy to use. Now back to the real world.

I am so thrilled that I am leaving the chilly city to enjoy some fun in the sun with the boyfriend in Miami. I will be MIA until next Monday but hope that I can squeeze some posts in between my relaxing vacation. I promised the boyfriend I would be keeping my crazy blogging to a minimum and enjoy the smaller things in life for the week (we'll see how long that lasts).

Have you ever found something that you loved but didn't know how it fits into your life? That's exactly how I felt for my love with tumblr. The website layouts and amazing and each post gets right to the point. At first I didn't know how to use my tumblr page, for a repeat of my blog posts or inspiration. I finally find the calling for my tumblr page; a page for my outtakes and inspirstions. It's things that you see on my blog but want more of or the inspiration behind the outfit. Because you can't have enough Passport Glamour right?!

Another thing that fits in my life in this sparkle-ly skirt courtesy of Shop the Far Out (check out their online store - its amazing). I love when pieces fit into your outfit and leave you with little need for accessories.

faux fur vest, bb dakota c/o beso; top and pants, dvf; shoes, sam edelman; bangles, david yurman

Even though the first day of spring is approaching nothing in New England feels spring-like. The sky is dark with little bursts of sunlight and the wind can be unbearable (especially when you are trying to take photos). The weather is getting a little warmer but layers and coats are still needed. I actually don't hate it because I can wear all of my lighter winter accessories again like my faux fur vest {seen here} and red suede pumps {both seen here}. My "bairly louche" shirt (that's the name and I love it) by Diane von Furstenberg is one of my favorites because the detailing is so strong there is no need for a lot of accessories. So all I needed was to piled on a few of my david yurman bangles and was ready.

Birthday Wishes

2011-03-10T10:11:00.000-05:00

Thank you all for all the birthday wishes, I couldn't have asked for anything more. After my birthday was over I was stuffed from all the food, cake, and presents - I made every meal on my birthday a birthday meal starting with breakfast. I was happy to share it with some friends, my family, and boyfriend.

I spent my birthday weekend at home (I can't believe I'm a year older), going out for meals with my family and blowing out the candles on my cake to mark yet another amazing year. It was great to be home and do absolutely nothing. My sister and I ventured to the lake closest to our house to visit the swans. It was such a beautiful and peaceful place (not to mention a wind storm). The wind didn't keep us there long but we got some great photos.

If you follow my tumblr you already know about my little early birthday present to myself {my birthday is in two days- AH!} to add to my shoe collection from Intermix. Intermix has to be the greatest boutique, physically and in the cyber world. I must go there a least five times a week. Currently I am dieing for their watermelon Mulberry and when I get the courage to buy I can just pick it up in the store - since there is no Mulberry store in Boston- boo. The classic Missoni pattern on the bows and jelly sandals are what sold me. It will take a lot of wear-and-tear to destroy them so I am hoping to have them for a while. I can imagine them with so much of my spring / summer pieces now I just need the spring to be here!

The Longest Winter

This has been the longest winter that I have ever remembered. The worst is that I feel like I am wearing every single piece of my wardrobe in my outfit trying to add layers. I am impatiently counting down the days until Miami {20 days}

Fashionably Late

Another glimpse at my outfit for DVF's fashionably late show at The Liberty Hotel {also in my last post}. I had way too many taken of my outfit to not make a blog post. My dress really is my favorite piece from Diane's spring 2011 collection and had to be taken out for the show. I just love how the dress becomes an accessory and not much else is needed. I wore my hair up (something I rarely do) in a tight ballerina bun to let the dress, its detail, and colors shine. I couldn't have been happier with the outcome of drinks, friends, and fashion.

Fashionably Late: DVF / SP11

with blogger Jess, Hell or High Fashion

I got the pleasure to enjoy Diane von Furstenberg's fashion show at the Liberty Hotel this week. The old jail turned into four-star hotel was the perfect place for the fashion show to take place. Couches and chairs lined the outside of the runways for you to sit and have service. My drink of choice was the Bellini (half champagne, half fresh peach juice). For some reason when I see it on the menu no matter what time of day I need to order it. Since it was a DVF show I wore my favorite flow-y dress from the Spring '11 line. The slip underneath hugs my body while the silk flows effortlessly - it's heavenly. And I could not pass up the chance to finish off my outfit with my litas. They look sky high in these pictures!

It's Vintage

Even though the sun was out yesterday the cold still was present. I was completely tired of dressing for the cold and stupidly opted to not wear tights. A pair of bare legs looks better over tights any day.Thank god I was only walking one and a half blocks from the car to the coffee shop. I was excited to wear my Diane von Furstenberg dress from the Diane Collection which launched in Boston yesterday. The line is made of new pieces with Diane's signature vintage prints from 1974. The line screams prints and color which is everything Diane stands for and something I need to see more of in my closet.

Days Off

I used to think that my days off would have to consist of errands and getting the most done in the small amount of time I have available. It would cause me nothing but stress and I never felt like I had a day to myself. Lately I have been pushing myself to enjoy my days off by doing nothing at all. I stay in bed longer, read magazines from front to back, and enjoy my cup of coffee sitting. To be the most comfortable that I can I opt for flats (my cole haans with nike air are amazing) and jeggings (jean-leggings). Both keep me super comfortable while staying chic. My J.Crew top was a gift for Christmas and I love the exaggerated jewels on the neck line. It is the easiest piece to throw on for a casual day - no jewelry is required.

De-layering

One of the best parts about New England are the constant seasonal weather changes from day to day (it is also the most annoying thing about New England). I spoke too soon when I wished for warmer weather- in my latest post. I was finally able to enjoy the day without a coat and dragged my boyfriend out to do anything we possibly could. My dress was another gift from my boyfriend (from Xmas) and he swears that he didn't purposely buy it to match my newly owned DVF hiking boots. If he meant to or not the dress was a great addition to my closet and I wear to so much.

My Choos

2011-02-17T10:36:00.001-05:00

Jimmy Choo Pheonix

My first pair of Jimmy Choos are the gorgeous nude Pheonix espadrille wedges thanks to my Valentine. My closet has been missing some nude hues so these wedges are the perfect addition. It surprises me how well my boyfriend knows what to get me especially because I feel like I am constantly seeing things I cant live without. The best way to showcase the criss-cross design was to show the shoes on my feet. I can't wait to pack these in my bag for my trip to Miami.

The days in Boston are slowly changing from unbearably cold to slightly cold and my winter wardrobe is taking a complete beating. I feel like I have worn it all a million times and then some. I cannot wait for the days when I don't have to hide my outfits under my heavy winter coats. I am hoping that the days will get warmer quicker so I can shed my winter layers.

I also wanted to thank you all for your sweet words on my last post. It means a lot to me! XOXO

Forever & Always

2011-02-09T11:42:00.001-05:00

Many of you have probably wondering why I have been MIA from posting for a short time now. I recently had to say goodbye to my sweet dog Lily of almost five years. It has been a rough couple of days as I reminisce on the past. I pulled this picture from an older post that I shot when I was visiting my parent's house. It made me miss the times we had - and my long hair! We adopted her when she was a baby and I feel grateful that we could give her a good life while she was here. She was the greatest puppy and touched so many people's hearts. I will love her forever and always.

Dripping In Black

2011-02-04T10:40:00.002-05:00

The snow is what I blame for my completely black head to toe outfits. To add a touch of color I wore my favorite green shoes. When I got these shoes I didn't expect to wear them as much as I do. But, I'm glad for the use I am getting out of them. I advise you that the colors have nothing to do with my feelings or even soul, I promise!

Red Hot

2011-02-03T15:09:00.003-05:00

sam edelman pumps

I have been wishing the snow away for days so that I can finally wear these red pumps again. The streets and sidewalks are just an overload of packed now which gives me barely enough room for a photo opt. My magazine collection has been growing though I have read each one front to back. ~~I'm just waiting for the March issues to be released~~ I stocked up on all the March 2011 issues - next snow storm, I'm ready for you.

Black and Snow

2011-02-01T14:00:00.000-05:00

dvf head to toe; david yurman ring

The snow has been piling up for the past month and I actually have been enjoying the time that I get to spend locked in the house. Since I am one to be constantly on the go-running errands with a coffee in my hand- it forces me to stay in and relax. I have been cooking up a storm trying new recipes and cooking old Italian classics like chicken parmesan.

I promise I didn't mean to wear Diane von Furstenberg head to toe, but my closet has been growing with her pieces. The hardest thing to dress for is the snow and I'm glad her pieces layer and fall together so beautifully.

The Brutal Winter

2011-01-28T18:14:00.002-05:00

These Sam Edelman shoes are my favorite because they remind me of Sergio Rossi shoes. They were a pain to walk in at first but ever since I wore them in a little they have been amazing.

Words can not even describe how brutal the winter has been in Boston especially for a blogger. It has driven me into a blogging limbo lately. I have no motivation to bare the chilly days, lack of sun, and mile-high snow mounds for a couple shots of my outfits. I finally got the courage to brave the weather today and even though it wasn't as sunny as I hoped the weather was nicer than it has been for weeks.

For those of you who follow my twitter you already know that I recently got invisiline. Even though I have only had them for a month I can already see the changes in both my smile and my teeth. I am so happy with the results thus far and it can only get better & straighter!

Closet Rut

2011-01-25T16:10:00.000-05:00

top, charlette ronson c/o shopthefarout; jeans, true religion; flats, cole hann

Lately I have been digging in my closet to find the perfect outfit, but the outcome is just a mess of layers to keep myself from not freezing my fingers off. I find myself taking a little time out of each day to somehow shop whether its online or at stores. I find myself stuck in a rut of the winter blues. I'm not ready for summer pieces but I am too sick of winter ones.

Additional Layers

2011-01-21T10:18:00.004-05:00

jacket, burberry; jeans, abercrombie; shoes, scarf, and hat, dvf; bag, coach

I am utterly sick of adding layers to my outfits for warmth. It's like my identity is lost underneath every layered piece.

Without many words (and thousands of pictures to prove it) these boots are definitely my-go to winter piece. They add a wonderful color to any outfit and can be styled two different ways; laced up for my edgier days and folded down for my more chic days. Today I was feeling edgier trying to concur the snow.

Where Is Spring?

The weather lately has been unbearable and puts me in an outfit rut. The mix of snow and rain leaves me unable to decide if I'm even going to attempt going outside never mind what I will wear. Saying I am ready for spring in an understatement. I welcome it with open arms and my closet does the same. I really envy the west coast bloggers, maybe I should consider taking me and my blog there.
For now my spring desires will be unfilled with Madewell's Spring 2011 Lookbook. The neutrals and oxfords have me drooling. Gimme Gimme Gimme.

Seen In: Never A Dull Day; Whats In My Closet

NYE in NYC {my lookbook}

2011-01-16T09:50:00.002-05:00

Even though New Years Eve was weeks ago I find myself constantly re-living the night through my pictures. I enjoyed my time in New York City by sight-seeing (yes I think the shops on Madison Ave. are sights), shopping, and devouring food with my friends and boyfriend. The city was completely over crowded and I took the weekend to relax, think about nothing, and spend some money (i.e. my ysl ring).

The Train To Somewhere

2011-01-14T13:22:00.002-05:00

sweater, coat, scarf; dvf; jeans, juicy coutire; wedges, trouve

When I lived in Madrid the train was my daily transportation. I knew how to get to and from to almost any destination using the train and even switching lines.I took the train both alone and with friends. It was like my other half that I needed to get where I desired. In Boston I am uneasy with taking the train. I'm not used to how to get where I want and when opted I'll take a car or taxi any day. This year I hope to be more independent in taking the train is a new years resolution of mine.

P.S. - do you follow me of twitter ?

top; charolette ronson c/o lulus; jeans, true religion; flats, banana republic; bag, botkier; scarf, burberry; sunnies, rayban

My favorite part of the winter is when the sun finally emerges from hiding. It allows me to dust off my sunnies and take them out with me. My hair has been an absolute mess lately and I am unaware of how to style it properly. I'll nail my hair style soon, I hope!

Arty Ring

2011-01-10T11:20:00.001-05:00

My YSL arty ring has been glued onto my hand since the moment I bought it {seen here, here} while spending my New Years Eve in New York City. The colors fit perfectly into my wardrobe and everyday life. I have been counting down the days until this ring could be mine since, it is like a must-have in the blogging world. Once I saw the silver I knew I had to shy away from the classic gold enamel and go with something different that melted into my own jewlery collection.

New Year, New Hair

2011-01-08T11:13:00.000-05:00

blazer, dvf; top, express; jeans, juicy couture; shoes, sam edelman; ring, ysl; bangles, david yurman

I've been itching to chop all of my hair off for a while now, but I have never had the courage to go through with it. The weather pushed me to face my fears saying goodbye to my dead hair and leaving me with smooth, light hair. While picking my cut options I channeled Olivia Palermo's new shorter-do and made it my own with some long angles and layers. I do miss my long locks, but for now I am having fun with my shorter hair.

Desperate For A Change

2011-01-06T13:45:00.000-05:00

sweater, coat, & jacket, dvf; ring, ysl; wedges, trouve; clutch, coach

The winter days have been brutal to my hair leaving me desperate for a haircut. Each time I attempt to get a trim I end up changing my hair style completely, but it is a new year so a new hair cut may need to happen.
Over the weekend while visiting New York City I finally got the YSL arty ring in a silver and black color. I love how different and over-sized it is. Even though the colors are dark the ring makes my fingers shine. It fits perfectly in my jewelry collection of silver hues.

The Year of 2010

2011-01-04T09:21:00.000-05:00

My 2010 was an exciting year full of travel, love, fashion, and friends. I am so appreciative for all the people who take the time to read my blog. Not to dwell on the past but, I put together a collection of my favorite pictures over the year. In with the new and out with the old.

As I mentioned in my previous {post} I was considering moving my blog from Blogger to Wordpress. I decided to stay with Blogger and try to enhance my blog by learning how to use the template, header, etc. I wish there was a crash course in blogging, but please bare with me for the next couple of posts!

Each day is getting closer and closer to New Years Eve and I get more and more excited to spend it in New York City with my boyfriend and friends. But I am also nervous since we have no reservations or idea on what we want to do.

P.S. - I also have a great giveaway next post!

Trying to Move

I'm trying to make the move from blogger to wordpress but don't know if it's the right move for me. I am horrible with formatting and my blog looks simple and clean on Wordpress. I feel like I will loose a lot of my followers though. What do you guys think?

Blizzard Warning

top and sweater, madewell; jeans, juicy couture; shoes, j.renee; braclets, david yurman

These shoes are my newest addition to my collection thanks to my parents for Christmas. I love how unique and girlie they are, but was upset when one of the bows fell off before I even wore them! I'm not sure if I should return them for another pair or buy another pair all together. Any suggestions?

There is a huge blizzard warning in the area so I collected my boyfriend, hot chocolate, food, movies, and games to accompany me through the storm. I actually enjoy being snowed in because it forces me to relax and do absolutely nothing.

Ho-Ho Holidays

2010-12-24T11:20:00.003-05:00

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday full of laughter, love, and time with your loved ones.

I had the perfect outfit post waiting for me to post and sadly deleted it with no trace. There was no way to recreate the falling snow or my up-do (I rarely have my hair up). I had found these faux-glasses in my sister's closet and thought they were perfect for the holiday season; fun and over-sized. I am looking forward to relaxing and spending time with my family. I feel lucky enough that my boyfriend can also spend the time with my loved ones. I stocked up on all my holidays essentials; hot chocolate, moose munch, and homemade gingerbread men. I can't wait for the wine and late night board games. Not to brag, but I am insanely good at Monopoly.

top; c/o lulus; coat, underpinning, hat, & boots, dvf; bag, juicy couture

I was gifted this gorgeous sheer blouse from LuLu's {the company from my previous post} the other day and could not wait to put it on (even in the snowy weather). The over-sized sheer falls perfectly in place and gives the effect that I am wearing some sexy cape. For some reason I was completely drawn to black today. I wore the top for a day of morning coffee and shopping with Joe. I did get some stares from the woman sitting next to me in the coffee shop. I don't know what freaked her out more my goth-like attire or that I took my Invisiline retainers out in front of her. Oops!

I have an early holiday gift for my readers; a coupon code to Lulu's. You can pick up your last presents to other or buy one for yourself - guilt free!

What the coupon code for Lulu's?

Whirlwind

2010-12-20T10:58:00.000-05:00

Last week was a complete whirl-wind. I managed to finish my finals, move my boyfriend into his apartment, celebrate his birthday, and come close to finishing my Christmas shopping. This week I am focusing on relaxing and spoiling myself with a spa day full of massages and a mani-pedi and a lot of tinsel and wrapping.
This post is a preview of a coupon code for my readers I did with a company that will be posted on my blog next post. Can you guess what the company is?

Holiday Stroll

2010-12-19T10:00:00.000-05:00

Each year Tiffany & Co. creates the perfect image of the holidays that make me want to grab my boyfriend and stroll down the streets happily hand in hand. This advertisement reminded me of the Holiday Stroll that took place in Boston yesterday {minus the snow}. All afternoon each store on Newbury Street had mini holiday treats that ranged from hot chocolate to champagne and mini gifts with purchase for their shoppers. I managed to get all of my holiday shopping done and find some pieces for myself. I cannot believe I am actually done buying for others - this has to be a trick of some sort. Here are the other ads for Tiffany and Co. this season they are so warm and romantic. It makes me want a little blue box for Christmas!

P.S.- I promise an outfit post will come soon!

Winter Blacks

sweater & leggings, dvf; leg warmers, free people; wedges, trouve; clutch, burberry

Instead of having the winter blues I feel as though I am having the "winter blacks" by living in black pieces. I don't know what is driving me towards the dark pieces but I am loving the outcome of blacks on top on blacks. The uneasy feeling of not enjoying the first New England snow storm may be the reason for this but nonetheless, it is leaving me with outfits I wouldn't usually put together.

{Fashion Show} Second Time Around

on me: tank, j.crew; blazer, dvf; jeans, juicy couture; pumps, trouve; bag, botkier; necklace, ken & dana design

I was lucky enough to be invited to go backstage and view Second Time Around's Fashion Show at the Liberty Hotel. The hotel lobby was full of business people socializing and enjoying appetizers and cocktails. I arrived early with my friend Jess and we sat to have some bites to eat {french fries with aioli and chicken skewers} and cocktails before the show's mayhem began. We then went behind the scenes to see the models and outfit picks of the night. My favorite piece were jeweled Dolce and Gabbana strappy pumps - too bad they weren't my size! I consistantly love Second Time Around's fashion shows because they use couture second hand clothing and accessories that can be purchased after the show. It shows that you don't always have to spend a fortune to look gorgeous!

Staying In

dress, free people; cardigan, abercrombie; socks, j.crew; flats, juicy couture

The cold weather and wind have been unbearable lately. I choose to only leave my apartment for my daily Starbucks {I am a complete addict}. My drink of choice this winter; a tall mocha latte with whole milk and whipped cream. I cannot wait for the day that I get into the holiday spirit and change over to the peppermint mocha lattes. YUM!

I have been in love with this dress ever since I got it as a gift from my boyfriend (I am really lucky because he usually picks out the best things). The dress has all the makings to be dressy {example} but is perfect for nights you want to be casual but cute.

P.S- I also have some great things for my readers coming up - I cant wait to share them!

In Anticipation

jacket, juicy couture; top, j.crew; cardigan & boots, dvf; jeans, abercrombie; earmuffs, burberry; bag, longchamp

Ever since it became December I have been patiently anticipating the first snow fall. For some reason it is just magical and beautiful. The news had claimed that it would snow yesterday so I waited but nothing happened. I know once the snow starts falling I will be begging for it to be the summer but I still can't wait for the snow to fall.

These boots {also seen here} are my favorite because you can wear them folded {seen here} or unfolded. But the suede makes them unwearable in the snowy season so I am getting all my wear out of them now.

In Order

2010-12-05T10:50:00.001-05:00

jacket, dvf; wedges, trouve; wallet, kooba

I have found myself lately reaching for wallets and/or clutches rather than handbags. I don't know if it's the chill in the air or that I am in a complete rush (since my life as been so busy lately). I am still waiting for the first snow fall in New England I don't know what I'll wear but I'm ready. I am also proud to say that this is another {post} with my hair up (yay) - even though it fell half way to where I wanted to shoot photos - im learning though.

TGIF

2010-12-03T13:05:00.002-05:00

I rarely wear my hair up and are constantly being pushed by people to take the hair away from my face. I decided to follow their advice and put my hair up more than I usually do. I get a little bit uncomfortable with it up (especially in photos) but soon I hope to get used to it and try new styles. Next; the top knot. The skirt {seen here} has been hanging in my closet and I am dieing to wear it on New Years Eve while I watch the ball drop.

I cannot express how happy I am that Friday as finally come. Even though the week went by fast I have had countless amounts of work to do. I am looking forward to taking the time to enjoy my weekend up to my boyfriend's standards which are; not getting out of bed before 11:00 am, staying in my sweats all day, relaxing, and staying in with movies and wine.

This past week is flying by and I am not looking forward to my final tests and projects that are coming up. The up-side to all the madness is the month long break I have in December through January. I am planning to visit friends, relax with my family, and go on some trips. I'm hoping to go somewhere with a beach...sigh.

Over stuffed

After the holidays I am completely over-stuffed and shopped-out. On Black Friday (yesterday) I happily was not forced to wait in any lines at 3 am, but my curiosity still lead to shop mid-afternoon. Every store was packed and the sales were mediocre; I came home empty-handed finding the stores too messy to shop in and nothing worth buying. Next year I may just opt to stay home and rent a handful of movies.

I am so happy to be home & spend the day / week with my family for Thanksgiving (tomorrow!!). I miss sleeping in my bedroom and having my sister around me constantly.But more importantly I'm glad to spend time around others who indulge in more helpings of mashed potatoes (I think I could live off them if I had to).

vest gifted by beso; dress, express; shoes, banana republic; belt, dvf

I'm not lying when I say that I have been living in my faux fur vest & that I always pair it with fierce animal prints (guilty & guilty). The vest works easily with everything; from a dress to jeggings and is more than easy to just throw on and stay warm.

Splurge vs. Steal; Black Lace Dress

2010-11-23T15:16:00.001-05:00

Splurge Steal

dress by Diane von Furstenberg dress by Topshop

There are many times that I pick new pieces based on ones that I have at home; not purposely. At the time of the purchase I do it without thinking knowing that I really adore the piece for some reason (and usually the reason is because I already own it). Here is a perfect example of two very similar black lace dresses one from Diane von Furstenberg and the other a gift from my boyfriend (and from Topshop). Do you find yourself buying pieces similar to ones you already own?

When I first saw this dress all I could think of was the Hamburglar (from the old Ronald McDonald commercials). My boyfriend didn't even know who he was! The more I wore it the more I grew a liking to it. The dress pinches and hugs in all the right places and is so comfortable (my main goal in an outfit is to be comfortable if you couldn't already tell). The dress is also a perfect complement to my forest green hiking boots which I love but feel as though I don't have enough pieces to wear them with.

Constants

jacket, madewell; top, dvf; jeggings, juicy couture; wedges, trouve; bag, botkier; bracelet, tiffany & co

These pieces are all constantly in my day to day outfits. I am drawn to each piece (at different times) and feel as though they are on repeat. I decided to put them together in one outfit for a post in hopes of getting them out of my system so I can wear other pieces. The jacket (here and here) is more than comfortable and is the easiest thing to throw over an outfit to make it complete. I never thought I would wear these jeggings as much as I do but they really are amazing. I advice everyone to get a pair :).

Fierce

I absolutely hate that the days feel shorter and how it gets darker earlier. As soon as I was ready to step out for my usual photos the sky was beginning to turn to night (and it was only 4:00 pm!). I have been living in my faux fur vest {thank you Beso} and for some reason I keep pairing it with leopard (here). When I put on the vest I feel so fierce that it lets my inner animal out and draws me towards animal prints. ROAR. I was so excited when I found these stir-up tights hidden in my draw (they will be the next thing I live in.)

Sequins & Lace

This past weekend New England was lucky enough to get gorgeous weather. I was able to go out without a coat so I thought I would finally wear this dress with no tights for a night on the town. I never have been a girl who wears sequins or lace, but lately I feel as though I cannot get enough of them both. The lace dress was perfect for a hot date night with the low scoop neck in the back and full length exposed zipper. I was gifted the sequins clutch and at first did not love it but have grown a liking to it. It holds a good amount of stuff and adds a little shine to any outfit.

P.S - thank you to Tiffany who posted a sweet interview with me
