The super cute Clare of the fashion blog, Clarabelle, featured Bec and me a few weeks ago deeming us fashionistas who are “trend-tastic”. This got me to thinking about the top three trends that are the current empires in my state of mind. 1. Lingerie lingering outside- I just bought this Topshop bralet and can’t [...]

Meet Osby. Born in 2007, ie. this little guy came into my world when my friend, Izzy, gave him to me. He was named after the University of Maryland basketball player, Bambale Osby, who is now playing on a professional basketball team in Israel. His curiously angled eyebrows paired with a hopeless, neverending (for reals) [...]

Back in college, on Thursday nights around 3:30am, I was normally found at a fraternity “Late Night” party or skipping to another two- you know the ones- ie. ZBT Late Night! or Late Night at Lambda Chi! after the usual 11pm parties. Now in adulthood, I have Late Night with my computer- ogling future closet [...]

Apparently, I’m on a Siwy kick. I just ordered these skinny overalls, which offer limitless layering options. I can’t wait to live in them.

The laptop that I bought on Valentine’s Day 2006 (a romantic night indeed) crashed on me back at the end of August so I’ve been jumping on and off Bec’s computer- so yes, that’s the reason I haven’t posted in a little while. Once I get a new computer I plan on posting daily/every other [...]

Top Row: Free People. (The floral dress in that row is Bec’s throw-in on the order.) The rest: Bebe. Even though I missed my department’s Christmas in August party last week, I went ahead and gifted myself with all of the above. And I loved tonight’s season 2 premiere of The Rachel Zoe Project, which [...]

While fall comes to most of the country in September, here in LA, it still feels like summer through October. (LOVE IT!) And yet, above is what I treated myself to last week- all from Topshop and the poor quality skinny suspender jeans photo is from Bebe (the enlarged photo wasn’t available for the full [...]

These 5.25 inch Steve Madden heels arrived yesterday. They are the highest heels I’ve ever worn and I don’t really know how Sarah Jessica Parker wore her Sex & The City heels. They are absolutely fabulous though. The Bebe turquoise laden halter top, denim military vest, and white silk contrast draped top are en route [...]

These two exquisite pairs of earrings arrived in the mail last week from QVC. Both are from the Jacqueline Kennedy Collection- best described by QVC as “style that transcends the generations”. The collection offers amazing reproductions of Jacqueline’s jewelry, and QVC offers videos of Kennedy historian, Philip Katz, recounting the stories and significance behind each [...]

I’m seriously addicted to Topshop and I’m reaching out to the world for help. Here’s another recent order- awaiting the denim bodysuit on a separate order but I grouped it with this one. I also have another order to post in the near future. In case you’re wondering, I like to keep my orders separate [...]

My Free People order came in the other day. I bought the vintage-inspired bathing suit with the intention of wearing it as a bodysuit. I love the design that is on half of the suit on both the front and back sides. I plan on wearing it strapless- and love the built-in shelf bra lining. [...]

Last week I placed this online Bebe order and am particularly excited to get the turquoise dress with multi-color beading at the neckline. I’m planning on wearing this dress to my friend, Ary’s wedding in a few weeks and am also contemplating styling my hair in a side bun like the model’s. I’m going to [...]
