Hello darlings. HAPPY HALLOWEEN! How did everyone spend their weekend? Did the snow dampen your festivities? I wasn't going to let a little snow ruin my weekend. Although, I did watch quite a bit of foreign films from my couch. I managed to venture into Manhattan, snow & all on Saturday. And since my power went out, I was left with no choice but to eat out (a lot) Johnny Rocket's for lunch, pizza with truffle oil. The only disappointment was not being able to make it to Nobu last night, but overall it was a great weekend. What can I say, I love sushi.

A few of my favorite things

Sorry for the late post lovelies. I have been super busy at work – having very limited time to do posts, read your comments, visit your blogs & reply to said comments. I promise to visit as soon as things die down. Hopefully, I will be able to find time this weekend. Maybe tomorrow since its going to snow in New York. Yes, you heard it right snow in October.

Enjoy your weekend & here are some photos taken while the weather was over 80 degrees, 28 days ago. Wearing a few of my favorites: maxi dress from Forever 21, shoes from Steve Madden & military inspired jacket from H&M.

Early one Saturday, sans make-up. I try to preserve my skin.

Leather's New Look - Spring 2012

For spring, designers are replacing its tough edge with soft shapes, a pale palette and pieces that might not even look like leather.

Where do you stand? Occupy Wall Street

As a New York, taxpayer & consumer its hard to ignore the thievery & corruption that has been plaguing America. While on twitter 2 weeks ago, I read someone's post which posed the question, "Why is there no coverage of Occupy Wall Street from NY Bloggers?" I myself had not written a thing about it. After all, I'm a fashion blogger, "What could it possibly do with me, right?" Well it has a lot to do with me, with us. We the consumers drive two-thirds of economic activity. The way corporations & lawmakers operate greatly affect us. We owe it to ourselves to pay closer attention.

Last week, while perusing this season's "Conscious Collection" at H&M (42^nd St. & 5^th Avenue store) I could not help, but notice that their price tags are higher than normal. A trend, I have been noticing lately from Urban Outfitters to Zara, to Mango & Forever 21. As costs for labor and raw materials rise, we are forced to pay significantly more for products that are inferior. Poor quality + higher prices = inflation.

Inflation has arrived and the era when retailers & manufacturers absorbed price increases to protect consumers is over. Consumer prices are expected to increase significantly this fall and into the holiday season. Pay close attention next time you're at the cash register, you will definitely feel the squeeze.

Sunday picnic in Central Park

Beautiful Sunday in NYC. Attended the NYC Fashion Bloggers Meetup Group picnic in Central Park and I had a blast with the girls, as always. It was the perfect way to end the weekend.

The first set of pictures were taken in Westhcester County, New York (where I reside) and the rest were taken in Central Park. Thanks to my new photographer aka Slava aka my partner in crime & hubby, these pictures came out pretty darn good.

Wearing Jeffrey Campbell Mariel Floral Black Wedges, H&M shorts, top?
