I was invited a few weeks ago to try Boutique by Forever 21. A new design to the Forever 21 store and collection; paralleling vintage. I'm infatuated with this sweater tunic top. Feeling like Pocahontas in the unique print and sequins; which only seemed to dazzle more in the light, I pranced by the lake. I can't wait for Spring and Summer to wear it as a dress with some funky footwear! You can check out my feature along with some other photos, bloggers and interview here.

Studs & Denim

Lately I have been having the oddest dreams. I don't know if it ties in with being cold at night, or eating an apple before bed each night? Either way, each dream gets more vivid than the last. In one, I had to chase a car down while trying to put my shoes on at the same time. In another, I owned a chocolate shop (that one probably had to do with my obsession over the Chocolate Shop Frenzy app. lol...)

I love trying to analyze what dreams mean. What do you guys dream about each night?

Bye bye, Miami mine... I depart at 4am tomorrow morning, promising plenty of tweets from the road...

By the way, who else is watching Desperate Housewives this season? (no spoilers, please) but I am hooked on this new mysterious family. And my favorite couple will always be Tom and Lynette Scavo...

Detail shot

Went to a friend's Birthday party last night in my new Forever 21 dress. I am in love, lust, fascination over this hot pink, zipper dream filled dress. Two-parts 80's, One-part Kelly Kapowski, and One-Part Hawaiian Princess. To give it an even more nitty-gritty 80's attitude I threw on my favorite vintage black studded messenger bag and slipped into some seriously Matrix bondage heels.. On another note, I just learned today (from my very informative twitter followers, thank you!) that caffeine is actually good for curing a terrible headache, yet another Pro to add to my list of why I love (and need) coffee on a daily basis...

I actually picked out the dress because of the vibrancy that the hot pink gave off, as well as the mix of both tough and pretty factoring into the fit and overall silhouette. Yes there were plenty of ruffles and frills, but there was something "tough" about it too, and very, very 80's; so of course, I just had to get it.

The dress also didn't scream Forever 21 as much as it screamed every label I ever lusted over: Alexander Wang, Herve Leger, Topshop, and even Helmut Lang. All this under $30? A deal of a deal of a deal! :]

Urban Outfitters

Some snaps from Memorial Day weekend, taken at my Grandmother's house. Check out the cameo by Sweety. We had apple pie, and lots of it.

How was your long weekend spent?

I: Went out for Chinese. Watched Tennis on TV. Read some Jane Austen. Played Orisinal. Rented Lassie on DVD. Watched the fluffy clouds take shape in the sky. Went to the Beach. Collected seashells. Painted my nails. Bought a new pair of shoes. Had a mini OC marathon. Drank mango smoothies. Learned how to make breakfast biscuits. Became friends with the new neighbors. Watched the Sunset. And, lastly, watched a baby bird hatch. I hope your weekend was filled with fun too.

That's just the way the Story goes ....

Ever since Audrey Hepburn portrayed Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's, diamond earrings have been a fascination of mine. Part luxury and part classic. I have always found that a simple stud earring can go further than any dangly, garish and ostentatious piece from a costume shop could. Luckily, I found just what I was looking for at Abazias. A perfectly delicate clustered diamond set. Thank you Abazias!!

With very special thanks to the local photographer who took these shots of me over the weekend.

Thanks to INSIDE MODE for featuring me and my Trench on your esteemed website!

Bloglovin' -
Being a blog addict myself, bloglovin' has simplified my life. In that, now instead of checking a particular blog over and over again in a single day (looking for the latest updates) I can now be easily alerted as to when any one of my favorites (trust me, I have a lot of favorites!) has anything new to say. Kind of like an online magazine, except better, because the stars of the pages are my favorite bloggers! To know when I've updated, you can follow my blog here.

The Eastern Glow

I'm over the moon with my Foley + Corinna leather bag in delectable eggplant. Thanks to the wonderful Shop Therapy contest, I was able to win this magnificent handbag. The leather is incredibly supple. You guys are amazing. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm also extremely thrilled with my new Oxford studded booties, courtesy of Newport News. I love you guys!! My brother was in town for the day, thus the outdoor shots this time around. Very exciting stuff. I had a blast pairing the minidress with knee socks, a la Silver. In other exhilirating news, I was happy to find myself featured in a website called Web Fashion Awards among many other stylish bloggers whom I greatly admire. Vote and comment for my featured entry here? Many thanks in advance. Another surprise to come; still in the works.
