More to play with

Hubby got me a new vanity for my dressing room! Now I have more to play with! :)

Celebrity day off

Not a day goes by where I don't think, WHAT DO I WEAR TODAY?! Even on my day off last week! I found myself thinking I'd pull a celeb look, where paparazzi goes nuts on Rodeo Drive while I'm shopping OR just...chillin in a parking garage with my sister :) I wanted to wear my new grenade pendent that hubby got for me on vaca in Playa del Carmen, Mexico recently. The outfit came together from there, where I felt a little edgy and sort of... DA BOMB!

What do you like to wear on your day off?

On me: Distressed jeans - Arden B, an over sized tank with pockets - Kimchi & Blue, Urban, bandeau tube top layered beneath - Free People, shoes - Frye wedges.

Harajuku! Bless you! I mean, Bless shoes!

I'm in love with my Harajuku Lover's Arlanda shoes right now. Angry Asian Creations captured these shoes during one of our photo shoots this winter. They are so fun to wear and weirdly enough so comfortable.

Back to the grind

Yes. I said it. Back to the grind of the work week. I've been spoiled the past few days of holiday fun with no commitments. Nothing but chillaxing with my hubby, family & friends. It was hard to haul myself out of bed this morning as I fumbled through my dressing room for the perfect Monday outfit. Is there even such a thing as a perfect Monday outfit? Well I tried to put one together if there was ever one that exists. The color grey keeps lurking back into my life. It's such a dull, plain and simple color yet it goes so well with mixing and layering. How could I ever let it leave entirely? Never!

It was also hard to get out of my yoga/knit jersey/stretch cotton wardrobe I've become accustomed to. In my attempt to pleasing every part of me and and coming out of my lazy bubble I chose a comfy work outfit that suited my mood and my desire to look appropriate on my first day out into the real world. Oh holiday world is going to be missed so bad! This outfit was carefully chosen to NOT include my rain boots w/ fleece liners or my sheep skin lined boots; two of my bff's the past few days. The sun was out and it told me the cold was still here but the snow will soon be gone. The warmth and coziness in what I chose had to be #1 priority today.

Layering my grey and black tones and decorating my neck line with soft tones that picked up other colors in this look was the success to my departure to work.

On me: BCBGeneration knit turtleneck, Express knit cardigan, Anne Taylor Loft trousers, vintage marble beaded necklace, BCBG purse and H&M wedged shoes.

DKNY TGIF

It's Friday, I'm feeling a little edgy, and what else makes a girl feel better than having her soles feel good!

I snagged these babies last yr and found that I rarely wear them; I may have only worn them ONCE. I forgot how comfy they were too! Pulling these kicks out of my shoe closet and dusting its' shoulders off I paired it w/ dark colored skinny capri jeans and a dark grey and white sleeveless blouse that ties a bow around my neck.

These are DKNY Rachelle's (Barrington) with the Insolia technology in a metallic midnight blue color.

While researching these shoes I found a little more information. Actually very cool information about the inventor of the Insolia technology. A world renowned Podiatrist, Dr. Howard Dananberg, invented the Insolia, a geometrical pad that can be worn with high heels to shift the weight back onto heels. DKNY adopted and picked up this technology into some of the shoes in their line.

Shirt Dress Shirt

Is it a shirt? Is it a dress? Or is it a shirt dress? I can't decide! It's too short and sheer to be a dress alone. It's too much for a shirt with pants. So, I paired this shirt dress w/ a pair of shorts and a tank underneath to make myself not to sheer and exposing but also still not too much to be all hot and bothered. It worked out to be a fun loving outfit for an afternoon downtown.

My shirt/dress, agh! whatever it's called was a new find during my NYC July 4th trip. I found it at a sale store that had everything under $20. I loved this shirt so much because of the soft cotton that I got 2! One in blue and white pinstriped and this one in black and white pinstriped. I love lil' sis' so much I gave her the blue one. HA! Makes up for her never have worn the coral dress before.

TOOTLES~!

Jumping for good weather

We have been so lucky the past few weeks with great weather. Being in our nation's capital, on a Friday afternoon, made me jump with excitement. My buddy, M. Silber, captured me in this coral strapless dress and my cream multi stranded bib necklace. Muchas gracias to my sister, K. Pham, for letting me borrow this cute lil dress. I think I've worn it 3 times since she's purchased it. Too bad she hasn't worn it once. Score!
