Another beautiful pair from Anthropologie :)

Laminated Shoe with Vamp Heel

Hellooo Giuseppe Zanotti

2011-11-20T23:52:00.000-05:00

Feeling a little down? Need a little sparkle in your life? Me too. Have $650 to spare? Drool over Giuseppe Zannotti crystal-embellished satin ballerina flats. Available from net-a-porter.com. I can hardly believe that it's nearly Thanksgiving time! What will you be doing for the holidays?

Zara Black and Snakeskin Flats

2011-11-06T20:55:00.001-05:00

Super pretty!! I haven't owned a pair of pointy shoes in a long time, but these were too pretty to resist. Snakeskin and strappy check! These are from Zara though sadly no longer available online.

Thank You, Steve Jobs

2011-10-06T10:02:00.000-05:00

To The Man, The Visionary. Thank you for reminding me not to live my life according to other's opinions, that life is too short not to find and do what we love. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.

Vintage Trim Pumps

2011-10-05T11:37:00.000-05:00

It's fall time and as we come closer to the holidays again (I can hardly believe it's already October!) shoes with that extra sparkle are catching my attention once again, much to my bank account's dismay. One such pair are the Vintage Trim Pumps from Boden ($128). The cluster of resin jewels are so preeeettty....

This totally made my day!

You've Got To Get Yourself Together

2011-08-31T20:14:00.001-05:00

I've been at my current job for almost a year now. Funny, but many times you think to yourself, oh the next job will be better but then it isn't always so. Sometimes you have to suck it up, sometimes you have to take a look at yourself and see whether or not you are the one with the issue and not the job, and then sometimes you just need to realize that maybe it's stressful because deep down

Somewhat Bag Obsessed

2011-08-25T19:10:00.000-05:00

One of my great weaknesses are bags - backpacks, duffle bags, messenger bags, toes, shoulder bags, clutches, travel bags...you get the picture.

Yes, DC did have an earthquake yesterday.

2011-08-24T20:52:00.001-05:00

Many people on the other side of the country have been making fun of the east coasters for all the hubub from yesterday's 5.8 earthquake in Virginia that was felt along most of the eastern seaboard up into Toronto. Having grown up in the Pacific Ring of Fire where my strongest earthquake was a 7 on the richter scale, I'll admit that when it happened even I was momentarily flustered. My last

Happy #MusicMonday!

Still Got T-Straps On My Mind

2011-08-17T21:58:00.000-05:00

Came across this picture on Lucky's website today and this epitomizes my idea of the fall uniform. Skinnies, plaid, trench coat, grey sweater, and t-strap flats. PERFECTION. Now I have t-straps on the mind again.

Obsessed with Octopus

2011-07-30T00:12:00.001-05:00

On the last business trip, scored this fantastic little necklace that I've been obsessed with. I've been reading Gail Carriger's Heartless and the frequent references to octopus have gotten me obsessed with them now. While I've seen lots of jewelry featuring spiders, birds, and other sorts of animals but nothing quite as awesome as the octopus. It's been such a fun conversation piece starter as

My New Love

2011-07-16T22:55:00.001-05:00

Louis Vuitton Speedy 35 :) I totally heart this bag. This week I'm travelling for work again and debating whether I should bring the new bag along or not. I'll be running around though and with my laptop and all sorts of other stuff so I'm paranoid that it'll get damaged somehow. Maybe not for this trip lol. I finally got a haircut after how many months and my hair being super flat for my

AllSaints Spitalfields at Georgetown

2011-07-08T12:32:00.000-05:00

I just got an email informing me that All Saints is now open at Georgetown. HOLY CRAP. My poor bank account. AllSaints 3235 M Street, N.W Washington, D.C. Georgetown D.C 20007-3616 Monday – Friday 11:00 - 19:00 Saturday 11:00 - 20:00 Sunday 12:00 - 18:00

Lula Glitter Ballet Flats

2011-07-07T23:18:00.000-05:00

Beautiful J.Crew flat, how glittery art thou? Very. For $135 available on their site. The pale gold glitter against the silver cap toe feels luxurious. Another flat to add to your collection. I'll be adding this to my wish list :)

Wish I Was Still On Vacation

2011-06-19T17:08:00.001-05:00

I was on vacation two weeks ago to visit my best friend who lives in London with her husband. I haven't gone to see her there since 2003 and the last time I saw them both was during their wedding last year. With the craziness that has been my norm for the past year and a half now, I can't stress how amazing it was to be somewhere completely different and to be absolutely free of a schedule.

Adventures in The Wilderness

2011-06-13T20:24:00.000-05:00

This past weekend I went camping for the first time in the forests of West Virginia. While there was a whole lotta drama that was involved in getting there, I'd have to say it was a pretty fun experience - mainly because we ate a bunch. Fire + Hot Dogs + Marshallow (giant size!) = WIN. Though I don't think I could really do more than two days if I'm being honest. Haha I am a city girl at heart

Bottega Veneta: Nero Intrecciato Nappa Cross Body Bag

2011-06-09T20:27:00.000-05:00

It's been awhile and the weather has finally turned. For awhile the cold seemed to follow me, during business trips and even while I was on vacation! But it's been a week of 90 degree weather here in DC and I'm making an effort not to wear pants for the whole summer if I can help it (skirts and dresses only please!). I never thought it would happen but I've been finding myself obsessed with

Suede D'Orsay Flat

2011-05-10T21:53:00.001-05:00

In honor of spring, here is the wonderful D'Orsay Suede Flat from Talbots. The detail is awesome and color is so vibrant that doesn't it make you want to put on a sun dress, ditch all responsibility and do something fun? :) Available from Talbots for $99 in more colors as well.

Dreaming of Blue

2011-04-12T10:25:00.001-05:00

Yesterday we finally had a sunny warm day in DC and the women were out in a force of sun dresses. Now it's dreary and rainy while I stubbornly decided to wear sandals today. Murphy's Law of course. In the meantime I'll just dream of this Hussein Chalayan bark cotton-voile dress from net-a-porter.

Odile Flats

2011-04-05T15:47:00.000-05:00

DC weather has been up and down from cold, to warm, to hot, stormy...well you get the picture. Here's a beautiful flat from Anthropologie to get me through Mother Nature's PMS. Odile Flats for $120 available at http://www.anthropologie.com

Chieeee Mihaaaraaaaa

2011-03-18T17:29:00.000-05:00

Is it summer yet? I'd like this as a gift please. Chie Mihara I <3 you.

Bands & Buckles Flats

2011-03-17T23:13:00.000-05:00

Gooooooorgeous! I am drowning in work - day job work, school work, and freelance work. Should I spend my tax return money on this beauty? Leave it to Anthropologie to pick amazing flats as usual. But its $128. Sigh. There is a small measure of light at the end of the tunnel as a large work project is nearing its end. I've really missed the leisure of being able to just blog whenever. These

Emily Blunt in The Adjustment Bureau

2011-02-17T11:34:00.000-05:00

I caught a screening this week of 'The Adjustment Bureau' starring Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, and Anthony Mackie and it has to be one of the best movies I've seen since 'Inception'. Granted, I still haven't made myself go see 'Black Swan' because even though everyone has been raving about it, my mind just doesn't feel the desire to watch a psychological thriller. Anyways, Emily Blunt continues to

The Cold Needs To End!

2011-02-03T15:58:00.000-05:00

Looking for gray pants and I've finally taken the plunge and invested in a overcoat that's sure too keep me warm during the rest of this winter. No matter how much I layer the bitter cold still seeps through to my bones! And how tired am I of having to feel like an overstuffed turkey. In other news, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

Appliqué Flower Ballet Flats

2011-01-24T00:19:00.000-05:00

It's been awhile folks, sorry about that. Bad blogger! This shoe caught my eyes recently and if you don't live in an area that rains all the time, this would be a great pair to own. Available from the Gap for $49.50, it's made from genuine leather (or so the site says) and has a rubber sole. DC saw it's coldest weekend of the season yet and I went ice skating on Saturday night. Needless to

MISCHA Black Suede Flower Pumps

2011-01-03T23:22:00.000-05:00

HAPPY 2011!!!! 2010 has come and gone and given me a lot of memories along the way. I finished the year with a great Caribbean cruise with my mom and sister and now I'm back in the cold thoroughly missing the ocean. Sometimes I wonder why the heck I decided to live somewhere with four seasons. Hope everyone had a great holiday and are adjusting to life back at school or work. Here's to a

Kayla Fab - Orange Canvas Ballet Flat

2010-12-15T17:47:00.000-05:00

Jeffrey Campbell Kayla Fab Orange Canvas Ballet Flat Available at http://www.footnotesonline.com/ for $105.

Bow Skimmers

2010-12-02T23:10:00.000-05:00

Very adorable in a little girl kind of way. These bow skimmer flats from Kimchi Blue are around $28 and are available from Urban Outfitters. The ribbon makes a great detail and would look good with a pair of tights. Fantastic for cold weather, but beware of the snow. These suede shoes would die a thousand deaths!

Holiday Flats

2010-12-01T10:51:00.000-05:00

Zigi Soho Charm Flats available at DSW for $49.95. Just in time for the holidays! What sweet little pair for any upcoming party or social gathering. Charlotte Russe Chunky Glitter Flat for $22.50. How adorable are these? And for that price, it will add some sparkle to your holiday outfits! I can't believe it's already December. The year is almost over and I for one am happy to usher in

Bad Blogger!

2010-11-20T00:39:00.000-05:00

Ahh my poor blog has been neglected as of late. Life has been busy as always and I've had a pretty crazy last few months, well really this whole year has been an insane roller coaster. I will be on vacation soon enough though and I'm really looking forward to cruising down to Mexico for a couple of days away from the cold weather and will actually be unplugged (gasp!) for the trip. But the

Coli Suede Flats

2010-11-09T23:37:00.000-05:00

Elizabeth and James Coli Suede Flats On sale for $199.50 at shopbop.com The detail of this pair is what makes it interesting enough to warrant a post. The picture makes it difficult to tell if it is suede, but it does like like lots of tiny braided fabric all woven together. Nice for summer and spring. Not so much right now if your living somewhere cold. It's still a little too pricey for my

VIOLA Flower Ballet Shoes

2010-11-04T12:01:00.000-05:00

Viola Flower Ballet Shoes Available online at Top Shop for $36! Another dainty floral flat, lovely eh?

Romantic Flat

2010-10-24T12:19:00.000-05:00

Finding a great red flat isn't easy and the 'Romantic' Flat from BP fits the bill. You can easily dress it up or down depending on your mood and the beautiful flower and pearl detail makes it extra special. Available at Nordstroms for $69.95. Not cheap but not ridiculously expensive either.

City Of Love Ballerinas

2010-10-12T12:24:00.000-05:00

I love myself a good maryjane and when you add bows, cap toes, and satin? As Rachel Zoe says, I die. These are so beautiful and perfect for fall time fancy parties. Available from Anthropologie for $96. Maybe I'll add this to my Christmas wish list.

Casey Flat

2010-10-05T22:24:00.001-05:00

This is a rather fun work type flat! While the shoe is suede (not so good for the rain), it has a rubber sole that can stand probably stand daily commuting. The silver embellishment is my favorite part! Caressa Casey Flat available for $130 @ http://www.shoptheshoebox.com

2 Tone Faux Suede Flat

2010-09-27T22:07:00.000-05:00

Available for a whopping $12.50 at wetseal.com. What an adorable pair of flats! For the price, I think we should all get a pair.

Repetto x Opening Ceremony

2010-09-23T14:54:00.000-05:00

I want I want I want!!!! Opening Ceremony collaborates with Repetto. How awesome are these prints? Ahh! But still its $400....bummer.

New Balance Softmoon Casual Sport Flat Shoe

2010-09-20T22:11:00.001-05:00

Me likey! Available at dnafootwear.com for $49.99 I'm a big fan of New Balance cross trainers and am excited to try these on!

Rene' Caovilla Ballet Flats

Zigi LA Gayle flats

2010-09-05T11:38:00.003-05:00

These are one of the most comfortable flats I've gotten in awhile! I scored these beauties at the Nordstrom Rack that opened up at Pentagon City last weekend. There were tons of pairs in black, black patent, pink patent, purple, and brown snakeskin. I highly recommend a pair especially because it only cost $29! It's too bad they don't have a website though to see if they have other styles. This

Pardon me!

2010-09-03T15:02:00.000-05:00

September is starting off to be another whirlwind of craziness. I've been going through a lot of changes being that I start a brand new job next week and I'll be leaving behind a world that I'd always worked in my entire professional life (well all six years of it anyways haha) to broaden my skills and experience to try something new! It will still be in the same industry but I'll be working

Yellow Monday

2010-08-30T09:40:00.001-05:00

I wasn't intending to shop this past weekend but alas I succumbed and got this beautiful tiered silk ruffle dress from BCBG on sale. It was the last one and they no longer had my size online. I've had an unusual atraction to the color yellow reccently and this dress really took my breathe away. Perfect for the end of summer before it gets too cold. In other news, Nordstrom Rack opened up at

THAT Celine Jacket...

2010-08-26T11:31:00.000-05:00

Last year I thought the ultimate lust after jacket was the ridiculously awesome one by Rick Owens. I have changed my mind and am fully sold on the amazingness that is Phoebe Philo. I want this jacket so bad.

Bumage Sandal

2010-08-23T15:07:00.000-05:00

This vivid turquoise blue sandal from Candela caught my eye today over at GILT. For $79 down from $275 that's not to shabby. Do you want an invite to GILT? Leave your email address at the comments section and I'll make sure to send you one!

Go sandal shopping now!

2010-08-20T14:22:00.000-05:00

Its that time folks, where sandals start to go on massive sale! I popped by Marshall's today and scored awesome Dolce Vita flats for only $20. They are pretty awesome. On Tuesday my very extremely inexpensive, bought from a market in Asia gladiator sandals finally broke with the sole of both shoes cracking! This week after reading an article on the experiment where people around the world wore

Vine Mesh Flower Flats

2010-08-17T22:12:00.001-05:00

This is a delightfully quirky flat with a mesh flower trim and star prints in a taupe color. Even better is that its only $40 and is available at Topshop. Today was one of those really incredibly stressful days and as I relax in my bed looking at shoes online, I feel totally appreciative of just the beauty of amazing shoes. It may seem a little silly, but looking at beautiful things (like shoes

Anthropologie Flats

2010-08-16T13:25:00.002-05:00

It's pretty ridiculous how many beautiful fall worthy flats are currently available at Anthroplogie, all of which are over $100 mind you. Bah humbug... But aren't they beautiful? It makes me want to wear tights and tweed already!

Tree Snake T-Straps

2010-08-15T22:48:00.000-05:00

Uh oh folks, I kinda love this shoe, it's my weakness for t-strap snakeskin flats! Help, I have a problem. I even find the little leaves charming, so...woodsy? :) It's a beautiful fall shoe that is annoyingly expensive at $248. Sorry Anthropologie, I really think you have wonderful things but why so expensive? :( I'll have to wait till you go on sale! If you can afford it, it's available HERE.

Repettos on SALE

2010-08-08T11:37:00.001-05:00

It pains me to do this, REALLY TRULY. Because I really want these shoes. BAD. And yet I just cannot justify spending the moolah on these beautiful babies at the moment. It just kills me that these are the most discounted pairs I've ever seen online. So if I can't partake in this glorious sale, at least some readers out there in internet-land can enjoy the spoils instead. So ladies, if you are a

Repetto Patent Leather Ballet Flats

2010-08-05T23:20:00.001-05:00

I find myself totally attracted to the patent lime green. I'm not sure why... This of course is total wishful thinking. The $245 price tag doesn't bode well with my pocket. Ideeli had a Repetto sale last week and many pairs came down under $200 but I still just couldn't fork over the money for it. Alas, I'll just have to be content to looking for now.

Marti Embroidery Ballet Flat

2010-08-01T15:11:00.000-05:00

I love the embroidery on this Antik Batik flat and the color combination! Its on major sale at shopbop.com for only $52.80 (originally $176). I would go and buy a pair NOW.

Jac T-Strap Flat

2010-07-27T10:00:00.001-05:00

Is it fall already? I am dreaming of cooler weather! Sorry for the lack of posts, but I was in California last week, where the weather was in the 60s and blissful :) Speaking of fall, the Alexander Wang Jac T-strap flat intrigues me with fantastic tight options for when it stops being so hot and humid. These babies are on sale today for $179 at Gilt. Really like the masculinity of the shoe and

Atterbury Flat

2010-07-13T10:29:00.003-05:00

I stopped by Aldo on the way home yesterday and was sorely tempted to purchase the Atterbury flats because they were on sale for about $30. At the last second I opted not too because they were slightly tight and figured would probably hurt a bit to break in. I've been drawn to lighter shades the past month or so that I'm attributing to the weather. If I weren't feeling so lazy to break these in,

2010-07-11T12:34:00.002-05:00

The travel bug hit me at a young age and I thank my mom for that. Over the years I've been luckily enough to visit some amazing places and I'm feeling the wanderlust as I think about new places to see and potentially move to in the future... Here are some that stand out in my mind: Rome Summer 2003 China Fall 2003 Bali Fall 2007 Egypt Summer 2008

Gowler Flat

2010-07-08T10:00:00.001-05:00

I have a pair very similar to this in black satin, but I'm really liking navy as an alternative to black. You can get this at Aldo for $45. And if you really want it in black, thats available too :) Posts have been slow as of late but life doesn't seem to be getting any less busier at the moment. I guess thats both good and bad! I've been involved in multiple projects and am balancing work +

Inspirational Space

2010-07-04T17:27:00.000-05:00

This post isn't shoe related but when I saw this image from The Selby I knew this is the kind of space I want to live in someday. Lots of shelves, a hidden nook, a big window! It's a space that's big enough to have a family in but not ridiculously huge either. And it's in a city.

ASOS Picks

2010-06-28T22:57:00.000-05:00

One for now and one for later. The first shoe is the ASOS Lucy Pastel Patent Ballerina Shoes in mint which makes a beautiful summer flat that will make any outfit feminine and dainty. I'd pair this with a great summer dress or skinny jeans when the weather isn't as gross as it is right now in DC. Available for $30. The second shoe is the Bronx Nicolet Frill Back Flats is for the fall when the

Barbara Bui Ballet Flats

2010-06-15T10:21:00.000-05:00

There are so many things I like about this flat: cap toe, strap, stitching details and the CUT OUTS. There is nothing like cut outs to make a shoe more interesting - flat or heeled. But at $275 from yoox.com its not exactly cheap. Here's hoping that another company makes a cheaper alternative. I'm looking at you: Aldo, Bakers, Bandolino, Nine West...

Masculine Bags

2010-06-07T09:31:00.001-05:00

Ever since I watched Letter's to Juliet I haven't been able to get Amanda Seyfried's leather satchel from my mind. It is so wonderfully masculine and perfect for a journalist on the go with her handy Nokia netbook to fit inside. Here's a couple of options that I've found would be perfect: See by Chloé Pouch Pocket Satchel, Mulberry Oversized Alexa Leather Bag, and Topshop Medium Leather Buckle

American Eagle Summer Time Flats

2010-06-04T09:00:00.002-05:00

(Bloom Flat) (Cailey Slingback Flat) I love Payless. I really do. Not only are they cheap, but from time to time they have really gorgeous and comfortable pairs that don't make me feel bad to buy or wear all the time. When I get shoes that are more pricey, I tend to only wear them out on special occasions, or I wear it for a limited amount of time and definitely not during my daily commutes to

Leather Ballet Flat

2010-06-03T15:30:00.000-05:00

Your pockets too shallow for a pair of Repetto's? Buy the GAP leather ballet flat instead. It's on sale for $39:50! I'll have to drop by the mall soon to try these on, but in the past most GAP flats I've worn have been very comfortable. I'm guessing these ones will be as well.

The Rocky Eco-Fleece Zip Hoodie

2010-05-30T10:36:00.000-05:00

Wow. This has gotta be the most comfortable hoodie I've ever owned. It's so soft and I can already imagine feeling incredibly warm and snuggly on plane rides since this zip up will forever be on trips with me! This is Alternative Apparel's The Rocky Eco-Fleece Zip Hoodie, normally $50 but you can find it on scores of other online retailers for way less than that! I got mine a couple of days ago

Corso Como "Jamaica" Giraffe Print Ballet Flats

2010-05-26T15:10:00.001-05:00

Ever since I tried on a pair of zebra flats from Nine West a couple of weeks ago, I haven't been able to shake the desire to buy a great pair of animal print flats. Above is a giraffe print from Corso Como on sale at Bloomingdale's for $101.50! They even have it in my size still so I am very very tempted to make a purchase.

Sam Edelman Dottie Leopard Print Ballet Pump featured above is in my mind the perfect leopard print flat. After seeing a pair of Zara ones posted by Garance Dore I found the animal skin at the forefront of my mind. Normally I'm associate this with really bad lycra leggings and awful t-shirts. I was suprised at how the right pair actually looks interesting in a good way not a "I look like I'm

If I were to find myself on the LOST Island...

2010-04-23T18:12:00.000-05:00

To continue with the let's pretend posts, today I ask, "What if I found myself on an Oceanic Airline flight and we've crash landed on the ISLAND?" What would I wish that I was wearing? The answer my friends are as such: OTBT Sauslito Boots PureLime Support Racer Tank (with built in sports bra) Columbia Sportswear Silver Ridge Half-Zip Knit top (Polyester jersey knit fabric wicks moisture from

You're going on a last minute adventure...what to pack? pt. 1

2010-04-15T14:58:00.031-05:00

I love to read adventure books that have protagonists traveling all over the world from one terrain to another. But it's always bothered me that they never seem to have the right clothes or the author never really comments on what kind of wardrobe they have. Thoughts like these have always made me wonder that if I were to go on a sudden adventure around the world, what would I pack? If I couldn't

Melissa Coral Shoe

2010-04-14T15:11:00.002-05:00

Melissa Coral shoe, made in Brazil, for $59. This is a freaking cool looking flat. It also comes in white and gold. The teal is my favorite! I always get so excited when I come across a shoe that looks unique. This would be great at the beach or somewhere else warm and tropical. In fact I wish I was scuba diving right now... product description: superior comfort while being 100% safe to your

Degas: Four Dancers

I had no idea that my former banner was housed right at the National Gallery of Art as a part of the Chester Dale collection. I spent the afternoon there with a friends who's in town visiting. It was great to see this wonderful painting in person!

Eddie Metallic Flat

2010-04-07T09:33:00.001-05:00

On Tuesday a girlfriend and I headed to Nordstroms after work to check out flats because she wanted a new pair of everyday ones that went with everything. We came upon the Tory Burch Eddie flat and we both ooo'd and aahhh'd at how comfortable this is. The sole of the shoe is lined with a memory foam like substance which makes walking blissful. The metallic colors were also very eye catching

New shoes: Prep ankle flats

2010-04-02T21:01:00.005-05:00

There comes a moment when you think, ahh this is meant to be. When I come across a shoe that I've been stalking online for a long long long time on sale in my size, I get that split second of feeling as if there was divine intervention that I should be united with this pair. That happened today with these BC prep ankle flats that were on clearance at DSW. These normally cost $60 but today I

Wearing last week?

2010-03-29T22:42:00.003-05:00

This was an outfit from last weekend when it got a cold 33 degrees again. This teetering of cold to warm weather is probably the most challenging time to dress and not feel schlumpy. Speaking of schlumpy, I wish I didn't hate ironing, but I do. I have a handy steamer to dewrinkle as many of my button up shirts as possible, still I admit that I don't use it as often as I should. When I see

Grey Mary Jane Pumps

2010-03-28T11:02:00.000-05:00

Practical is the word that comes to mind first when I look at this pair of shoes. There's always an internal battle that rages inside me between being drawn to very simple minimalistic shoes (as well as clothes and other accessories) versus the very romantic/flowly/printed out/embellished pieces that I find beautiful. This pair though would all mainly in the minimal category but I think would

some things to cheer me up

2010-03-23T21:54:00.001-05:00

The weather was accurately reflecting today's mood: glum! In moments like this I turn to images that cheer me up and brighten my day (or night in this case!)

Boden Bow Flats

2010-03-21T13:16:00.000-05:00

I'm usually not a fan of animal prints for flats, but there's something very feminine and dainty about these Bowden bow flats in light tan and black giraffe. It must be the light blue bow accent that makes it so girly looking that makes me want to get a pair of my own. It's on sale right now for $50 (down from $120) and also comes in other colors and prints. I also like that the shoe looks

Best Flip Flops EVER.

2010-03-16T08:28:00.003-05:00

I know its a little soon to be posting about flip flops in this weather here in murky, somewhat cold, gloomy, rainy DC but if you're looking forward to the hot sunnier days of the summer go forth and get a pair of Brazillian Ipanema flip flops. YOU WONT REGRET IT. I got a pair when I was at home on vacation after my mom insisted that these were the most comfortable pair of flip flops she has

WOW. Love at first sight

2010-03-12T20:31:00.000-05:00

OMG. I <3 THIS DRESS. WOOOOOW. Seriously, who is Kristen's stylist? I think that I've loved every single thing she's worn to a premiere. The dresses she wears always have such interesting shapes and colors. Kudos Ms. Stewart, you look gorgeous!

Still cold in DC

2010-03-07T20:37:00.005-05:00

Today's casual work outfit. Theory coat, H&M scarf, Topshop jeans, Mossimo for Target shirt, Converse sneakers, and F21 black blazer. Taken with my bad iphone camera. Haha sorry!

I would like to have these in my closet please

2010-03-07T14:18:00.003-05:00

Procastination has reared its ugly head in my space all week long. Here I am feeding it more by looking at the Paris Fall 2010 RTW collections instead of working. Heheh...in any case, now is as good of a time as any to drool over Isabel Marant's creations with envy and glee. She had quite a bit of sparkly pieces which made me wonder if I could pull of wearing more night time appropriate garb

New Treats for my Feet!

2010-03-02T20:17:00.001-05:00

Here are my two new prized flats recently purchased on vacation. Both are incredibly comfortable and so much fun to wear! 2010 has been a roller coaster but I'm happy to say that I'm still here and looking forward to all the unexpected things bound to happen. I'm so thankful for the people in my life and for all the love and support they've given me through these crazy times. I'm going to

It's only been the first two months of 2010 but a great many things have already happened which unfortunately has had me unable to blog these past couple of weeks! But I'll be back to regular postings next week as March begins! Thanks again for your continued readership! I'll be back soon!

Packing headache...

2010-01-21T13:32:00.000-05:00

Ok so I am a total procastinator. I started packing last night using a large Nike duffel bag (not very chic for travelling its the biggest carry on bag I own!). These questions kept popping in my head: - Should I just whip out the large suitcase and check it in? But I hate checking in and I hate lugging the suitcase on the metro to DCA! - But bigger suitcase means more clothes options... - Also
