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

Friday, October 28, 2011 | |


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

Thursday, October 27, 2011 | |


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

My top picks - Versace for H&M

| |

I'm getting more & more anxious as we get closer to November 19th. Most of you know, it's the day Versace's line for H&M is set to launch here in the U.S.  We aren't lucky enough to be included in the November 17th release date. Bummer.

Since its unveiling, I have compiled a list of my favorites, which I think are standout pieces that I would glady add to my wardrobe. Here's wishing.


This looks like a dress, but its actually a 2-piece ensemble.

A little bit of color goes a long way....

How do you guys feel about colored denim? Do you share the same sentiment, as myself that it's the answer to a drab wardrobe? I personally love color having grown up in the 80s. Think Benetton...So here, I decided to be brave and mix my favorite colored denim with a Navajo inspired pattern top complete with feathered accessory and funky shoes to boot. 


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 (42nd St. & 5th 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.

This photo was taken a week and a half ago. Can you believe on this
October day it was 80 degrees?  2011 has been filled with bizarre weather so far.

Forget the distress

Thursday, October 13, 2011 | |



One must walk with caution when wearing the Damsel, they instantly make you super tall. So don't be fooled by the fun romantic look & its cuteness.  Underneath the tapestry fabric is an extra tall covered platform wedge.  Pretty, piece-y design hides a massive 2.5" platform, plus a towering 6" wedge heel (plus rubber tip), with characteristic Jeffrey Campbell cross-stitching up the back.

Finally able to layers now that the weather's cooled down drastically. Wearing Forever 21, Vintage jeans & Jeffrey Campbell Shoes.

With the airy texture of sheer chiffon, this full length sheer burgundy dress with lining, has a way of making you feel like you're floating.  Delicate and frothy – perfect for our dinner out in the city.  Jacket worn HERE and shoes HERE.
I have an obsession with beautiful clothes amidst an unfinished building & construction equipment.

“It’s all about femininity and womanhood,” Sarah Burton said after showing her collection on Tuesday evening. “It wasn’t really meant to be fetishistic. It’s about embellishment and celebrating women’s beauty.”

Hi everyone. Happy Monday! Apologies, I've been missing for a few days.  Can you guys believe I'm sick again?!  Uggh, I am so annoyed by this seesaw weather the northeast has been having as of late.  Its doing a number on my asthma and kicking my butt.  I did get a chance to do a shoot in my bedroom, but it's a little dark. Sorry about that.

Anyways, I wish you all a pleasant and healthy week.
