Family and Food!

Buckle Up

Sometimes you develope a crush. And you can't stop thinking about them. This was one of those times.

The only thing I could do was to make them mine. The practical heel means I will wear them more and so far this has proven true. Never would I have thought I'd be going for a shorter heel, but that's what New York City does to you. Changes your whole way of thinking...

Sore Thumb

I wish we'd always wake up new,

Refreshed and born again with nothing left to lose.

But we dream too much.

Who needs a crutch?

Pull off the bandage,

There’s no wound

Like A Boy

It was last week when I decided I was in dire need of some brown Spectator shoes.

I didn't want to buy a pair from Steve Madden since they are not only pricey but I have already seen them on many people around town.

My love for vintage drew me to look at my amazing local vintage store and I ran into these.

Although they are not exactly the classic Spectators and they are not all brown, I really adore them. Since they are Cole Haan, I know they are quality and they Croc imprinted leather is divine.

Plus they cost only $15! I know, I can't believe it either. Such a perfect find! I love when the items I want just come to me. Must be good vintage Karma!

Je Rêve En Couleur

PARIS....

This editorial in August 09, British Vogue is one of my favorites. I love how each location seems to fit perfectly with the clothing.

Shot by Patrick Demarchelier with Lily Donaldson, it makes me crave the cobblestone streets and ancient buildings. Oh to be back again, in the City of Lights...

Coolest Coat On The Street

Rachel Roy has designed a coat that not only rocks my world with its edgy yet feminine features, but it can be worn four ways. Yep. FOUR!

It's called the Transfourmer Coat and it does just that. It can be a full coat, a cropped motorcycle style jacket, a sleeveless vest coat, or just a vest. Simply Genius!

It also comes in a deep aubergine color! I love the motorcycle style on top with the short, fuller skirted bottom. A perfect balance of edgy and girlie. And the best part of all is its only $198! I know, I can't believe it either.

Now if only I could get my hands on one!
