Emerald City

I took these photos yesterday morning after being invited to a tea party / brunch. What better place to debut Chanel's confectionery clogs than among toasted banana pancakes and soft blueberry scones? The wind whipped past my face and hair at record speed, leaving my fingers and legs with a frosty chill. Anything for blog photo opts right? ;)

Sadness swept over me when I first heard the tragic news about Alexander McQueen. :( My thoughts & prayers go out to his family.

Finally a faux fur that fits me right. I swear every time I try one on I look like a massive football player. Double score on the leopard print.

I watched Grease 2 over the weekend and revisited my archived crush on Maxwell Caulfield haha.. ;) and adoration for Michelle Pfeiffer's wardrobe all over again..



Nasty Gal leopard faux fur and scarf, American Apparel raglan, exposed zipper stud mini skirt, German tights (from a reader, thank you!) and Balenciaga sandals.

Clouds in the Sky

Went to the Arboretum over the weekend to take photos of Flowers before a Holiday party. My Thanksgiving weekend consisted of family gatherings, parties, barbecues and picnics at the Park and yes, eating and eating and eating. I also made Cranberry dressing for the very first time, it seemed to be a hit and now a new tradition. Hope yours was great as well!!





Vintage coat. Barneys New York dress and handbag. Payless tights. Vintage suede Lanvin pumps.




Now onto the big blogger secret I've been hanging onto for some time now, the one I keep teasing and tweeting about...
I'm going to New York next week.

I was cordially invited to a red carpet event. I'm so excited as this will be my very first time to the City. I'll be there for roughly 2 days, and would really love to pack in good eating, sightseeing, picture-taking, shopping and perhaps even some blogger meets ups!? Recommend away!!! I'll be staying Midtown Manhattan. I really want to see as much as possible!!!

Clouds in my Coffee.

To my surprise- I found AnnaLynne McCord wearing the exact same floral printed tights this morning, via some candids on the fashion spot. I bought them over 3 months ago. I finally dug them out of my closet yesterday and wore them with this eclectic, yet comfortable, ensemble for the first time.

My Currents:

• Dark eyes a la Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen) on Gossip girl.

• Patterned tights. AnnaLynne McCord.

• Wooden heels. Buckled boots. Docs.

• Undone hair, in messy, tumbled waves and curls.

• Sufjan Stevens. (playing now)
• Lily Aldridge.
• Natascha. (Australian model)
  
• And, yes, that is a surfboard behind me. The hubby took it out yesterday for the "big waves" and forgot to hang it back up in the garage. It's one of "our" long boards and it's also a paddle board.

Cape/Shawl: Vintage (eBay). Dress: Vintage Slip skirt (Grandmother's). Tights: Payless. Wedges: Target.
