Happy New Year


Leggings:Poof; Necklace:ALDO

Tuxedo Top:Shelly Court(SecondHandSmoke)



A lot can change in a week, even more can change in a year.
If you told me I would be where I am now, at the beginning of 2009, I would have called you crazy. Well here I am.

It's been a year of happiness&heartbreak, triumph&tears. But I embrace it as my journey none the less.

As I look to the coming year, I look forward to turning the page on 2009 and starting a new chapter in 2010. Keeping memories in the past, I am eager to make new ones. Accepting the things I cannot change, I will make changes where I can. I will keep loved ones and old friends close to my heart and await for those I have yet to meet...

And above all I will look fabulous while doing it.

Cleaning Out My Closet


The inside look you're all secretly DYING to see. Sadly not even a quarter of it

As the New Year approaches I desperately need to clear out the old and make room for the new. This rule applies to more than one area of my life.

My clothing addiction has gotten a little ridiculous, as I see my closet spill into my room and packed away in several storage bins downstairs. That's what happens when you live away from home and move back; at least that's what I tell myself ;)

Here's a list of essentials I feel are a must in any closet:

1. White Button Up Blouse
2. The Little Black Dress
3. Dress Pants
4. Great Pair of Jeans
5. Fitted Blazer
6. Classic Sweater
7. Trench Coat/Pea Coat
8. Skirt
9. Day Dress/Sheath Dress
10. Great Pair of Boots/Heels/Ballet Flats
11. Black/White Tank Top
12. Black/White T-Shirt
13. Classic Bag
14. Cardigan/Turtle Neck
15. Diamond Studs

*as well as a few inexpensive trends of the season

L.O.V.E.

Ring:Forever21

Peace&Love

Sometimes we just need a little love.
I happen to find it in this double banded ring.
You can't always see love, but this is a nice reminder
that I am always blessed with lots of it.

All That Glitters


Tank:Forever21, Bracelets:ALDO

All that glitters is not gold...

It wouldn't be the holiday season
without a little sparkle. I'm overjoyed with my latest online shopping purchase from Forever21. What makes my heart sing, is the fact the sequins make up a tiger face.
Feminine&Fierce. I am in love.

Shades of Grey


Hat:Goorin, Tank:Mossimo, Sweater:Baila, Leggings:Poof

Winter is here and as boring as it is, I have developed a love affair with the color grey.

Carry On



“As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a girl will find herself a little lost.
And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda,
buckle up and just keep going.”

- Carrie Bradshaw

Audrey The Great



It's hard for a girl to find a good role model in today's world of Lindsay Lohans' and Paris Hiltons'. I have always had a soft spot for Mrs. Hepburn since my first viewing of Breakfast at Tiffany's. It is a movie every girl must see at some point in her life. She was graceful and humble, as well as stunningly gorgeous. She made a man work for her heart and never lost sight of herself along the way.

A book I recently read, and recommend to all, is
"How to Be a Hepburn in a Hilton World" by Jordan Christy. The book is filled with tips I believe every female should read and try to use in their everyday lives.
