500th Post!!



I made it to the holy blog threshold of the 500th post! Thanks to Wanderlusting and her convenient reminder on her own recent post about the exact same topic. You know who I applaud though? Not me. All of you. Every single one of my readers (all of you!) are the true inspiration behind Fashion Chalet; my sparkle. I love you!

I thought in honor of all this, I'd give you a little more insight into who I am with: random facts, past favorite blog posts and some of my favorites in general..... I hope you enjoy.

Some of the blog posts I most took pleasure from over this last year are this Fashion Week collage, and when I wore my Marc Jacobs trench for the very first time (blog-wise), the text I wrote in this post. A reader request - for those of you who have been asking for some more images of Sweety; here, here and here. Lately I can't get enough of Iced lattes (thank you, Starbucks!) The bright neon nailpolish collection by Essie. Can you guess which color I picked? Bodysuits (especicially by Motel and Urban Outfitters) I'd love to own a plethora. Oversize sunglasses, multicolored cardigans á la Rodarte and Missoni print pullovers. Wanting to get my hands on the perfect shimmery one-piece bathing suit for Summer. As far as cuisine goes; I love my bi-weekly lunch salads. All of the Odwalla protein shakes, fill me up, cool me off and of course, offer a grand dose of protein and energy. My favorite meal of the day has to be dinner, my famous shrimp fettucine or slow-cooked chicken with veggies and Italian cheese. Sweet potatoes and beets are the perfect side dish to just about every meal, luckily they're both easy to prepare and everybody's favorite. And in general, I really love Bruno Dayan's photography, this and him right now.

My Everyday Makeup ...



A girl should always be loyal to her best friends, her boyfriend and her makeup. Here is just some of what I turn to on a daily basis.

  • Chanel glossimer in Pailletes
  • Stýli-Style eyeliner in Black
  • Revlon blush in Toast of New York
  • New York Color nail polish in Polyester Creme
  • Maybelline Powder foundation in Natural Beige #50

And a special "hi" to the two blond girls who stopped to introduce themselves as readers of my Blog in Starbucks this morning.

Now you know how I like to take my coffee, with extra cinnamon. ;)

" You Can't Miss The Bear "



Thank you to Kosi at Qi Cashmere for sending over a care package full of samples to try on. The instant I opened the box and found this hat, I fell in love with it. I simply had to slip it on before anything else! Overall, I find Qi Cashmere to be classic, chic and clean in their designs.




Carrie of My Bare Style was thoughtful enough to send over some goodies from her Online Shop; Bare Accessories. I still haven’t gotten to the knee socks, but I will, as I adore them. As you can see, I am already putting the handbag and ring to very good use!!



Fur Hat: Qi Cashmere. Sweater: Nordstrom. Tights: Urban Outfitters. Military boots: Secondhand. Ring: Bare Accessories. Handbag: Melie Bianco.



Fur hat mania (what I don is faux) has been spotted popping up all over the Fashion Runway collections; from Jean Paul Gaultier and Fendi to Dolce & Gabbana. I like the practice of how a simple accent of fur (go faux if you can) lends a hand in creating a look of luxe. Men and women, both, can have a stab at this season’s funky trend.


On another note, pun intended, if you couldn't already tell by the song change... I've fast become a fan of the Weeds soundtrack. I finished season 1 last night. This afternoon I saw the first episode of Season 2. And tonight, I'm off to continue my trip down Season 2! I love the Botwins!!



xoxo / Thank you Qi & Carrie!
