Forward Looking Spring
Washed Canvas Jacket With Leather Trims –$895
With spring right around the corner (taking its sweet old time, might I add), starting to see lots of neutrals and whites filling the stores. About time! An always classic look that everyone can rock. Love this Burberry canvas jacket the most.

Life Lessons from How I Met Your Mother (Episode:...
Ted: Okay, I'm going to say something out loud that I've been doing a pretty good job of not saying out loud lately. What you and Tony have, what I thought for a second you and I had, what I know that Marshall and Lily have, I want that. I do. I keep waiting for it to happen. I'm waiting for it to happen and I guess I'm just tired of waiting. And that is all I'm going to say on that subject.
Stella: You know how I talked my way out of a speeding ticket?
Ted: Really?
Stella: I was heading upstate with my parents, I was doing 90 on the country roads. I got pulled over. So this cop, gets out of his car, swaggers over and he says, 'Lady, I've been waiting for you all day.' And I said, 'Sorry Officer, I got here as fast as I could.'
Ted: For real?
Stella: No, it's just a joke. [pause] I know that you're tired of waiting. And you may have to wait a little while more but, she's on her way, Ted. And she's getting here as fast as she can.

Orange by any other name
I love what this orange Lugano suitcase does for this outfit though it’s not even completely not necessary. I was actually drawn to the Lanvin Golden Floral Print top. For a dressier (and more affordable) look, opt out the jeans for one of these:
ASOS Black Fitted Piped Gold & Black Jacquard - $86.21
Forever 21’s Romantic Rose Dress - $22.80
Vera Wang Lavender Label...

2010 Olympic Winter Games
Team USA looks soo sharp in the big pony- I get so patriotic watching the Olympics, especially during the opening ceremony. Best of luck to all the athletes!

My mom's too cool
My mom dropped by my apartment tonight to drop some things off after a day of shopping before her big trip. She takes off for the Philippine Islands for a month with her sisters and I couldn’t be any more jealous. Remember when you were little and thinking no one was cooler than Dad and no one was prettier than Mom? I still feel that way.
Basically what my mom wore tonight. I could take...

Twinkle by Wenlan
If your style includes chic but artsy pieces, check out Twinkle by Wenlan. Designer Wenlan Chia has created a fanciful yet practical line thanks to her “affinity for design, love of art, and prolific imagination.” Not so surprisingly, her creativity has enabled Twinkle to make a name for itself in ready-to-wear, accessories, jewelry, home furnishings, a book series, and yarn...

There was a time..
Much like an Aerosmith music vid from the ‘90’s- lots of leather, not a whole lot of color. Only thing missing is your cool vintage car and your best friends Liv and Alicia.

Hidden Gem
Hidden gem: Kenny Crochet Poncho in Olive - $165
While looking for light sweater to wear to a charity event tomorrow evening, I came across something even better. A vintage inspired piece, this crocheted poncho is so elegant, light, and easy. It’s almost like a unique basic and could probably go with almost anything. Also, it’s one size only will ensure a different look on every...

Versatility
Love when a handful of pieces can create 12 different looks. These are quite fantastical.

And people to meet..
Instead of a silk jumper with textured tights, try a textured jumper with your everyday tights. Hue makes really great mid-calf socks that you can wear over your tights (scrunch up slightly so they poke out from beneath your boots).

Risky Business-esque
If you need a look that’s polished yet creative and still super comfortable- try this. There might not be a whole lot to this outfit, but you’ll certainly look like you have the style to copy. Plus, oversized button-downs, boyfriend-fit oxfords, shirt dresses…whatever you call them, they’re sexy as hell. Especially paired with a good pair of over-the-knee boots.

Doodle me
I love this Topshop Shark Print Dress - $310. Who What Wear just featured it as a piece Kristen Bell would choose, noting, “As a nod to season’s athletic aesthetic and the loads of scuba/surf-influenced outfits we saw on the S/S 10 runways, we couldn’t help but include this frock, which perfectly blends the two trends. The silk-and-mesh mini dress reminded us of something Bell...

To master layering
Some of you have been asking about “layered looks” and how “J.Crew catalogues make it look so easy.” Try this one on for size. Layering is not terribly difficult at all- it actually does wonders by making you pay attention to items you already owned. I especially love layered looks that are paired with leggings and chunky socks/leg warmers that poke out from beneath an...

Inspiration
Can’t get enough of this site: Photos by Martin- a fabulous showcase of a simple story: he’s just a guy, who in June 2000, left behind his job in New York to travel around the world.
Traveling and photography are two other loves in my life and his intentions behind his site- merely to share his journey with people who may appreciate his photos as much as he did his experiences-...

New year, new look: red lipstick, patterns, fur
Black doesn’t always have to be the canvas for red lipstick. Nor do solid colors have to be the background for fur.
Came across this dress and immediately wanted to wear it to a cocktail party.

New year, new look: Cross-over sandals
Wish I was prancing around a quaint little village right now, with cobblestone streets, under street lamps, listening to foreign tongues and spanish guitars in the background, and with the beach just a stroll away.
And while I was, I’d probably be wearing one of these strappy, cross-over numbers:

Playsuit
Saw two girls, both with very different body types, try this on- it looked equally fabulous on both of them. And a very different look on both of them at that. Always love a versatile piece of clothing.
Topshop Premium Silk Playsuit - $125, Dark Purple, silk belted playsuit with collar and lapel and gold button detail, 100% Silk.
Would love to pull something like this off:

A striking beaut
My friend AP wore this gorgeous shirt to dinner tonight- it was by YFB (Young Fabulous and Broke). Checked out more of the line and it amazingly offers the perfect clothing to slip into for a day of shopping or a night on the town. Including this dress, which I chose to dress-up for this look (in the spirit of New Years!):
