chic & the city

run away as fast as you can

2010-09-26T17:59:00.000-07:00

Ended my week with another incredible event (hopefully on event hiatus for a bit) and probably the best star spotting of all the events together. Le sigh Jack Dawson. Yea I nearly fainted with that one. But anyway just some pics from the past two weeknds with erica and marley...duh. Nothing too exciting except that I tossed the red from my hair and am back to black (although I wanted dark brown but whatever). Fun fun fun times with the chicks.

This is another night. See black hair. And my lack of effort to get dressed resulting in going out in a denim button down and baggy black silk shorts. Fuck it. I liked it. Saw wall street 2 today. Pretty cool spotting my client in the film with a bit part.

xx hope all had a good wknd

addicted to them hoodrats

2010-09-20T17:36:00.000-07:00

Yeah remember me? No? Whatever. Had to go a bit mia bc of a crazy fashion week. Had four major events. But it's ovaaaaaa! Hallemothafuckinglujah! Although that doesn't mean the work and events stop. I needed this wknd to sleep and I didn't. I'm delirious with the lack of sleep and want to crawl away and hide. Don't get me wrong my events were pretty sick and it's super cool that I was a part of them....hello taking shots with vinny chase....but I'm worn out. Soon back to normal. For now...peace out.

xx

beggin on my knees

2010-09-12T12:55:00.000-07:00

I don't know where to begin describe my past few nights. As you all know fashion week kicked off in nyc last week. My company and I participated in two MAJOR events that were so unbelievably cool that I can't believe I was a part of them. One was double C dinner with very special guests (I won't say the actual names of the events but you can figure it out) including KL. The people I've met, I will never forget. There was one point I had to have 3 bodyguards on me bc people were trying to get past me and my list. Overwhelming but amazing. On friday I had another event that was more rock n' roll for our clients magazine launch. Took shots of tequila with models, socialites and actors (including one that plays an actor on very popular hbo show).

I didn't take any pics but here's a shitty one of Iggy performing. Seriously how fucking awesome! We were sprayed with champagne and he jumped in the crowd to surf. I can't believe this was technically me working. I have two more events this week for my clients. So it's not over yet. Didn't get home until 4am each night but so worth it. Makes all the hard work we put in pay off.

Oh and figured I'd show some new shit I've been buying including these spectacular shoes that I immediately ordered from f21. Surprisingly, I have a few pairs of shoes from there and none hurt me feet like some of my expensive shoes.

Also came home to this baby. A good way to end the week. So I hope you understand why I'm so mia with my job. It's bc of these insane events we're putting together. But it's so rewarding Btw if you haven't figured out my event from thursay night...just look at my present. ;)

grabbed my coat and i was freaking

2010-09-04T11:39:00.000-07:00

I did some damage today....and it felt good. Did some shopping because no one wanted to hang out with me. I'm finally home with nothing to do and no one wants to be friend. Who the fuck am I kidding. I'd rather shop anyway. Bought some great pieces for fall including these black and white oversized sweaters. It's the same sweater but I had to get both colors bc they're super soft. From h&m. Found a pair of amazing trousers there as well. Also got some more pieces from gap and f21 including a pair of green cargo jeans. Can't wait to wear everything. Need to rest up this week...fashion week starts soon & I have five events I'm hosting. They're going to be massive & I can't wait to tell you guys who shows up...hint? One event is for the double c logo & I'm sure you all know who's top dog there. ;)

all my life i wanted to be someone

2010-08-29T13:30:00.000-07:00

We meet again. Hope everyone is having a good wknd. Mine's been relaxing. Decided to forego the booze for reading & watching movies in bed. Plus get my tan on since we had beautiful weather this weekend. Meh summer's almost over. Also just got back from the movies with my mom, dad and lil jose. Saw Last Exorcism. I love all those bullshit, semi scary movies. Just entertainment for me. Plus Eli Roth produced it & who doesn't love Bear Jew? You all better know who Bear Jew is. Just saying. Anyway, just playing in my room in my fave f21 sun dress (actually my only sundress bc why on earth would I of all people own more than one). It's pretty. Not me. But I still love it.

now I don't hardly know her

2010-08-24T18:45:00.001-07:00

Clearly someone needs to do a little shopping. Aka me. Hanging out before bedtime browsing topshop. Can you see the theme? Yeah thought so. There's so many amazing knits on the site...I can't wait to get my hands on some....as well as my next paycheck ;). And I love the tapered trousers. I definitely want to pair them with one of the knits and my oxford shoes. Perfect fall looks. But I will admit...I am not ready for it. It was barely 70 in the city today. WTF! It's August dude. Reality check right there. Where's everyone shopping for their chunky knits? You know I'm one for discovering new things.

i can't be saved

2010-08-21T13:02:00.000-07:00

I'm bored. And that makes me really happy. I finally have a second to breathe and just sit in my bed and not do anything. Aka be silly with photobooth. Silly or vain? I'm not really sure. But I'm fully enjoying these moments by myself without anyone yapping in my ear. Would have been better if it were sunny outside...but this will do. Once I can pick up a new routine I'll get back into the swing of things. All I've been buying lately are books so nothing new to show. And I refuse to take any sort of picture of my outfit during the week bc that's how drained I am when I get home. Anyway....

This will surely be in my life soon. Perfect for fall. But not sure how topshop jacket sizes run...so still waiting to order. I'm too lazy to go to the store. Meh. Happy mother ******* weekend. =)

i know just how to feel

2010-08-15T12:41:00.000-07:00

Can we please take a second to look at the epicness of how cool these shoes are? Yea...I mean. I need. And want to know the best damn part? They're both from f21! Under 20 bucks. I mean. The color of the boots are to die for and the coolness of the flats are epic. I just picture dirty skinny british rock n roll dudes wearing them. Which obviously means I need them and want to look like a dirty british rock n roll dude. I mean who doesn't? Right? Just me?...hmm. Ok my wknd consisted of too much feasting, booze & unnecessary large stamps on my hand. Back to nap.

your eyes are sparkling with teenage fire

2010-08-10T18:02:00.001-07:00

So good news....got a new job. Bad news....that means I'm exhausted and will probably continue to suck at blogging. But rest assured I'm not letting this baby go that easily. I fully intend to keep up with my blog. Maybe a wknd thing..nighttime thing. Who knows. I just started so we'll see how everything plays out. Anyway...had a relaxing wknd that ended with a day spent by the pool at my aunt/uncle's. Beers and bbq. Perfect way to start the new week.

Yours truly.

Mal had to stay on the float the whole time considering her foot was taped in a bag due to her surgery earlier that week. Although she seriously does not look like someone who just had surgery.

Aw Georgie in the background. And there you have my brother & sister aka 'the twins' aka 'the kids' that I don't think I've shown on the blog. They're cute. And yes they really are twins. Hope everyone's doing well.

never said i wanted to improve my station

2010-08-06T11:48:00.000-07:00

Just some things I'm diggin' lately & thought I'd share. I want to live in that sweater all winter long. Damn why am I even thinking of winter considering it's a suana outside? But yes...oversized (possibly colorful) knits are in my future.

Two amazing outfits. Although brown is not particularly flattering on me..I'm into this outfit. Probably try something out in black although I own nothing of the sort. Yea I need to shop.

And this...well just because. Started out as a crazy week. My sister had to have an emergency run to the hospital after our orthopedist found something off in her foot that was causing her pain. This led my uncle (an oncologist) calling for an emergency mri and biopsy. Luckily during the biopsy they were able to rule out needing any bone marrow. Which then led to the discovery that whatever it is (I will never be able to learn the medical term I hear going back btw my dad & uncle) is benign. She's stuck on crutches for a bit & has some pain but it could've been worse. Also I got some good news which I will eventually share. So the week's ending on a good note.

xx happy wknd

you must obey or you will bleed

2010-08-02T12:48:00.001-07:00

Went out with the girls sat night and wore this LnA muscle tee tank with a white lace cami underneath. The cami is from h&m in the underwear section...not even five bucks. Perfect for that underneath touch. I just paired it with my black scalloped UO black shorts. Easy comfortable outfit. And yes that's a shitload of sillybands on my wrist. I'm five years old. Had a really shitty week and this one isn't starting off any better but hey guess I have to be optimistic. Anyway...b'squared (the firm I was working for) is currently looking for a fall intern. So if any of you are interested in learning fashion pr & love accessories let me know and I'll put in a good word for you. I highly recommend it...guaranteed an amazing experience.

be my baby

2010-07-29T17:15:00.001-07:00

Bad bad blogger. I know. I swear I'll get back into the swing of things...eventually. I'm just in one of those moods you know? I've been kinda stuck in my books lately. Blame my reading from keeping me away. But I did a little shopping today. Ended up with an amazing casual blazer from Club Monaco for fall and way too much chocolate from Godiva. I swear those chocolate covered strawberries and macaroons will be the death of me. I cannot move.

I'm just in love with her outfit. I think it's the pants.

No questions asked.

I dig Caroline's outfit. I love the awkward length of the skirt with the ankle boots. I can see my self chopping up my maxi skirt to this length come Fall. Hope everyone is doing well. Hopefully I'll put together some outfits soon.

xx

i'm a fool for misery

2010-07-26T12:09:00.000-07:00

Wawa...I'm a horrible blogger as of late. Things were a bit hectic so I kind of abandoned my laptop for some time. Plus I just came back from a weekend in the hamptons. Had a good time with my sister and her friends. It pretty much consisted of pool, sweat, beer showers, smiley face stickers, meatheads & more sweat. Oh and I just came home, mind you I showered 2x and found another smiley face sticker embedded on my back. Ha.

Clearly my sister her bff are in love.

Can you tell which is my sister? Everyone obviously figured we were sisters from our smiles. But.....everyone thought I was older =( Whatever, I'm never getting older. Btw I'm on the end sitting with the beer and my sister is next to me in the aviators. I promise to be a better blogger.

xx

forget the ones you love

2010-07-19T17:27:00.000-07:00

Today I had a quarter-life crisis. The sad part is is that I haven't even reached the "quarter" part in my life yet. Humph. Well to make up for the shitty days my favorite photograph Moni posted a new set of photos on JohnnysBird. And the best part? The model this time was one of my favorite bloggers, Sandy. Posted a few of my favorite from the shoot including Sandy posing in from of the Sick store in london. Ugh I need to go asap. And obviously my favorite photo? Clearly the rob pattinson poster. Le sigh. Oh and saw Inception this weekend. Sick!!

you may fall, i don't mind

2010-07-16T13:08:00.000-07:00

My first attempt at a collage. The stupid website logo stuck but whatever this is my first time being tech savvy and you know that's not saying much. These are some cab pics of my and the girls from sat night. Yea not really outfit pics but I did wear a plain black tube top and harem pants. I know I suck at outfit pics when I actually go out. I never take pics..these are not mine (thanks er!). Went shopping yesterday which I haven't done in so long since online shopping became my boyfriend. Didn't get much; just a UO sweater and an h&m BABY BLUE bandage skirt. Yup I said baby blue. It's so pretty. I'm the idiot that forgot to go to AA so another trip asap.

xx happy wknd.

want my time- i'm willing yeah

2010-07-12T14:24:00.000-07:00

Two new rompers in the mail today and this is one of them. Not an ounce of black. I'm proud. It's navy and it's got that cool tribal print going on. What's great about it is that on each shoulder you can untie the knots in the straps to make it as tight or as loose as you want. And the back falls a little lower than the front. Of course pockets just seal the deal. By the way a few asked what color I dyed my hair...unfortunately you cannot see in these pics bc I'm the worst photog ever. But I dyed it red. It's pretty red on top but since my ends were still pretty black the color didn't hold as much. My hair is kinda ombre right now. I dig it. Especially when the light catches it. It's very different for me. Hopefully I'll come up with some pics to show it.

i wanted love but not for myself

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

It's too hot in the city. Yet I managed to lay out, play in the sprinklers and go roller blading. My cardio kick is in full force. I also dropped my water bottle while I was blading and don't know how to properly stop aside from crashing into a tree so I let the bottle roll on by. Oh well. Now just hanging out in the AC and am waiting to rinse my hair. I decided for a change of color. We'll see how it turns out.

xx happy damn wknd!

she was made to blow you away

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

Hope all my US readers had a happy 4th and an enjoyable long weekend. I hung out with family and roasted. Yup I'm no longer vampy pale. Also watched my neighbors set off massive amounts of fireworks. Right now just bored and sleepy...went for a run today and nearly passed out. I am not in shape. Hanging around in a pair of h&m harem pants and unburied my AA cropped tee that I'm too chicken shit to wear in public. Even though I dig the cropped tee look with the baggy pants. Hmm some more running is needed. And yup that's my mane in all its natural glory.

i'll meet you someday

2010-07-01T14:25:00.001-07:00

My credit card hates me. I will stay up late night ordering shit. Sale? I'm there. Whatever. This was one of my smaller purchases so no biggie. Another new romper from f21 plus I also just bought some tunic dress that's buried in a bag somewhere. I went back to black. I'll never change. How cool are my new herman munster shoes? Kinda acne-ish? No? Whatever. They're intense, cheap & I love them. The clunking sounds they make is rhythm to my ears. Oh saw Eclipse yesterday (like you had any doubts). So so good. By far the best one...but I will always have a place in my heart for twilight & it's blue hue. Just wanted to mount EC the entire movie. But seriously it was great...much better writing this time around. Now when does BD come out?

cause your soul is in heaven

2010-06-28T17:27:00.000-07:00

Quick post today...exhausted after running around the city in the sweltering heat. It was not ok being in all black today. The result was actual drippage. Yeah I'm gross..we know. Anyway clearly stewy didn't get the crazy nyc heat memo either and stuck to all black while taping letterman today. But hot damn is that herve leger a stunner or what? And the new red/blonde locks. Um dye bottle where are you?

But obviously stew topped the letterman look with this GOREGOUS Roland Mouret dress at the nyc eclipse screening. Granted she must be experiencing some drippage like I was this afternoon..but homegirl makes it look good.

Not to mention the adorably fresh braided hairdo. Perfect for this weather. Seriously who of my readers are from nyc? It was not ok outside today. Ick. I wish I could look as flawless. Le sigh. But don't worry she's still yours #krisianca...always #robexa.

falling in love for the last time

2010-06-25T12:13:00.000-07:00

My new favorite summer item....and it's NOT black! One point me! Got this adorable strapless romper from the heritage section in forever21 a few weeks back. It's navy and pink and such a stretch for me considering it's super fem. But I still bought it in a size too big for me just to make sure I still have some of the oversized feel. Aright...I'm just happy it's not black...I can't give up black AND oversized. That's way overboard. Just ordered another romper from f21 but this time in black.

And yup the LA eclipse premiere was last night. I swear I melted when I spoted RP in a maroon Gucci suit. Only a real man can pull of maroon & look this sexy and masculine. Of course I'm in love with Stewy's Elie Saab's dress. The back is even hotter. And yes taylor looks cute too.

you think you're cooler than me

2010-06-23T11:52:00.001-07:00

Now tell me why did I give up on my guitar lessons? I want to be a rockstar dammit. Another epic shoot from Johnnysbird. I swear Moni is the coolest and I'd kill for a day just to chill with her and throw a beer back.

Hopefully next boyfriend will let me beat on his face. That sounded dirtier than intended. ;)

whatever I'm getting cheese fries

2010-06-21T13:20:00.001-07:00

Happy birthday to the regina to my gretchen, to the teresa to my dina....erica!!!!! I know you're having a fantabulous birthday whether at the diner or at waldbaums. I love you so much and wish you nothing but the best bc that's exactly what you deserve. And I swear we will never get too old for blow pops and hello kitty birthday hats.

I concur...this will be our yearly pic.

happy birthday buddy...love ya like no other, dude!!!

when the lights go out

2010-06-19T11:04:00.000-07:00

I'm in love with this outfit (from leflassh). Surprising since there's no black in it...but I'm digging the neutrals obviously the comfort of it. Nothing really going on aside from the fact that nyc finally has beauitful weather again and of course my face is burnt. But tonight we are starting the celebrations early for er's birthday. Planning to wear my Reed dress from chickdowntown pretty much bc my mom and sister teamed against me saying I need to dress more girly...less hobo. They're betting I won't do it.

P.s. these pics of lilo came out and I fell in love with the outfit and need someone to identify her top!!!! The cutout back...faboosh! See every piece here is baggy yet I think is still feminine & sexy (as well as the pic above)....is that just me? Or is sexy only in body hugging clothes....discuss.

xx happy early bday er

about a ghost who wouldn't come back home

2010-06-16T10:14:00.000-07:00

Last night the girls and I went to see Bobby Long perform at Highline Ballroom. As some of you may know I have this crush on these few british musicians that are all buddies and I try to see them perform whenever they are in nyc. Luckily my bffs indulge me with my crush. Bobby, who cowrote a song for the twilight soundtrack, was amazing. He performed for the first time ever with his new band but also did some solo old school songs. The opening acts were pretty good as well. It was funny when my buddy er discovered a few degrees separation of knowing the first act last night & came back 15 bucks poorer when she went to talk to him. At least she got his cd signed. Facebook is really helpful in those cases.

swoon.

Bobby and the band.

marl, me and er.

How cool is this photo with bobby on stage in the background? Such a fun night of just listening to good music and being our silly selves. Best quote of the night: Marl: aw bobby looks cute with his glasses and long hair!....Me: NOT BOBBY!!!!! Hahah I love you.

xx happy birthday mom

who needs anything

2010-06-13T10:15:00.000-07:00

Sundays are not my friend. I don't think I need to elaborate. Celebrated one of my best friend's brother's bday last night (hence the sunday=not friends). Had a good time hanging out with the usual suspects. Wore a Zara high neck black tank that I bought in in Florence (it's not special I just like saying I bought it in Florence...I miss those days). Paired it with one of my three new silky shorts from UO. You can see in the photo that they have a wavy cutout on the hem. I'm waiting for the photos from last night to surface however I'm sure I'll be inclined to share. =/ Also wore my clogs again and I have never tripped so much in my life. It's normal for me to fall flat on my face in flats being an uber klutz & I usually walk better in heels (higher the better) but not last night. My ankles are paying for it now. Do you like my Edward Scissorhands mane in the last pic? Hope everyone had a good wknd. Looking forward to a concert of my one of my fave brits this week....hint hint marl & er!

i fight outwards in this world

2010-06-09T10:40:00.000-07:00

It's a shitty day in the city but this sweater makes me smile. It's one of my favorite, super soft Wildfox pullovers despite how cheesy the smileys are. I can't actually wear this out right now bc it's a tad chilly and the rain would make the shorts even more see through. No bueno. These are the same shorts I wore in the last post but in nude. They're from UO & I'm in love. They were exactly what I wanted in the pj-look shorts (I bought three pairs total like these...the other two are black). Hoping to wear them out soon prob paird with a dirty tee and clogs. Also wearing my new Deena & Ozzy sandals from UO. They're pewter so I'm proud I stayed away from black although I do need a pair of black sandals asap. I plan to keep on smiling & continue with my favorite quote....this too shall pass.

and we got so much to share

2010-06-07T16:46:00.001-07:00

I feel like I've been kind of blogger MIA. Still in somewhat of a funk which I know I will get over soon. Anyway...the mtv awards last night totally cheered me up. It was surpirsingly hysterical. Tom Cruise as Les Grossman is pure genius. Did you really think I wouldn't girlcrush over whatever stewy was wearing? Yeah didn't think so. Probably one of my favorite dresses of the night (no bias there) was stewy in Dolce. Something about the tweed and the brocade just works.

The incredible sandy. Class act last and seriously bangin' dress. She is so spot on lately...I adore her.

Oh well you know....gahh the smile.

Yup totally sitting in a puddle of drool. Nothing more but to stare.

Figured I show some sort of an outfit since I've been slacking. Me and big sister (yup she's quite mini) on our way out for a friend's bday. It was disgustingly humid in the city. Not a fun hair night especially considering I pretty much chopped it off and it's full of layers. Frizz city. But I love my new hair (esp when people compared it to stewy...I'm actually embarassed that I take these compliments so seriously..but I do.)

Malpal is wearing a white AA skirt with Chinese Laundry lace ups. I'm my new LnA cropped cape top (so light weight amazing) and my new lacey UO shorts that I also have in nude and look like they should be pjs but I don't care. Oh and wore my new clogs. I swear I was a giant even though I'm only 5'4.

you can't feel it with your heart

2010-06-03T20:00:00.000-07:00

Thought I'd show off another DIY tee I made a while back. Never wore it so decided to put it up on etsy. Dude this can become quite addicting. It's an iron image that I printed on a Men's Hanes tee. I've been getting a lot of views on my etsy..hopefully something sells =)

Here's a closer image of the tee. Let me know what you think. You can view it on my etsy here as well as my Boy Is A Slag tee.

It's been kind of a bummer week which is why I've been somewhat staying away from blogging. Plus I'm terribly sunburt...on my BACK! So I've really only been in either my pjs or anything huge. And yes that means my ass is burnt too so sitting down at work all day today was not pleasent on my tush. I was laying out on my stomach yesterday reading my book and got so caught up I didn't realize how much time flew by. My ass is paying for that now. But that doesn't mean I haven't been scavenging any and every pic from some of my favorite blogs that I found through Moni. I just want to be curled up in this dude's sweater...preferably with him in it. ;)

must be the season of the witch

2010-05-31T13:21:00.000-07:00

My new steve madden clogs. Sigh..I love them. Ordered them a few weeks ago on preorder but they came earlier than expected which always makes me happy. They are super high even though they claim to only be 4 inches but luckily they're lightweight so easy to walk in. And to think I was going to buy the jeffrey campbell pair with a 4.25 inch heel. Ohh...over the weekend I finally opened up an esty account where you can see the first Boy Is A Slag tee up for sale. Plus don't forget if you want something personalized all you have to do is ask. But please help me get the word out about my etsy. I've been posting it all over twitter and am glad I have some cool followers who have be retweeting it as well. May even start selling some other stuff on there too, who knows. Well hope everyone is having a good wknd. I've been trying to fix up these tanlines that will have to remain hidden for a while. I look like a red patchwork quilt. Cool.

we're soulmates

2010-05-28T13:55:00.001-07:00

I just got back from seeing SATC2 with mum and lil jose (my younger sister..nickname..don't ask ha). We're huge fans of the show so granted we were going to enjoy it no matter what. The clothes were over the top & fun to look at. The story...yeah so it was cheesy. Trying way too hard to be more commerical...but hey at least they said fuck more than once in this one. Like the first one, there were several pieces I need to have in my life. Obviously in the first one that was the roger belt which I quickly got a replica of. Now..hello neck jewerly. Fell in love with the piece above. No idea who makes but I'm sure I'll find out soon. Plus Carrie wore this brown silk blazer (can't find a pic) in several seens....I neeeeeed it! Thrifting here I come. Plus we had one of our former clients' bags in the film....FIVE times. Pretty much I was playing spot the bag that I helped send over to sets =).

Also want to say thank you for your opinions about the tees and I'm really going to try and start selling them. Maybe start an etsy. As soon as something's up I'll obviously post it. But if there's something personalized you guys may want...all you have to do is ask either in a comment or email. I'd be happy to do it. Makes me smile knowing people think I'm somewhat creative. And remember several posts back I discussed an event I went to..well it was for a new website called StyledOn. I spoke briefly with the creators of it about starting up an online showroom of my tees on their site. So click the link..that's my profile. It's really a great site and I hope more of you join & we can follow each other there.

xx happy mem wknd.

boy is a slag

2010-05-25T12:41:00.000-07:00

How cool is my new Alchemy Gothic snake earring? Totally in love with the fact that it wraps around my ear. It's kinda creepy at first but that's what makes it special. And I'm not an earrings person, so I'm diggin this.

I chose to stay in my room rather than enjoy the sunshine.

Love how the paint came out super cracked...looks like it's been worn in.

Because I can't help but do a little cutting, I ripped the sleeves off. Ok so here's the thing. A bunch of you have been saying that I should start selling my tees that I diy so often and the idea is rapidly growing on me. This is my new one with my new favorite slogan between me and the bff Marley. I like that it's not too obvious what it means & gives it a bit of mystery. So I wanted to know from you guys would you be interested in buying this tee? However it would be made WITHOUT the phoenix..just the slogan. Or maybe even some personalized ones if it's not too overwhelming. I've always been into messy vintagey tees & really enjoy making them myself & would LOVE the opportunity to share it with you guys. I'd want to start selling them through my blogging probably by email with the details and all that. So is this something you'd be into? I know there's a lot of bloggers that sell their stuff which is awesome and I would like to be a part of that. Your feedback means the WORLD to me! I'm also coming up with some other phrases but won't know for sure until I actually make the tee. Also have to give a major shoutout to my buddy Isquisofrenia for giving me her opinion on matter.

xx let me know lovies

i pray i was in this world

Marley, me and er out sat night. A fun night with the girls just dancing was absolutely needed and I got it. I swear I never worked out that hard before. Obviously fun was had otherwise I would not be attempting to lick erica. Delicious. It was warm in the city so I wore my denim cutoffs and a blazer. Of course wasn't happy with any of the tees I owned so I made another one. This is inspired by the one worn by the girl a previous post which is by an 80s punk brand BOY london. It kiiiiiills me that I can't find any of the original tees on ebay. They're sold at a shop in london so if any of you readers are from london....pleaseeeeee send me one =D

Mine and marley's attempt at pretending we belong on JB. Oh yea I cut huge arm holes to make it a muscle tee and a put a lace bra underneath. Blazer came off as soon as dancing took place.

This is what it looks like front on. It's completely cracked & that wasn't on purpose. I made the images on paper to be ironed on and accidently ironed the ink so it cracked. You can see the "B" is half off and the legs of the phoenix are little specs. Although I'm diggin the mistake...looks worn in. Even grated a few holes in it with a cheese grater.

That is all. Oh yeah and my attempt to be punky with my baby blue nail polish but with one finger black. Fully admitting I'm strange.

Supposed to be near 90 tmrw yet all I want to do is go to the craft store to get letter stamps to make some more tees. I'm pretending I look good pale.

i am not young enough to know everything

2010-05-21T16:32:00.000-07:00

Mother f...I'm dizzy. Me attempting to be cool by shaking my head in that pick hence the black fuzzy face aka my hair. New rockin harley tee from ebay. The colors are bomb and it's so worn in...the only thing left is to make some holes in it. Love me some shredding.

The back. Love how the letters are peeling.

Not really in an outfit...more of I threw on the shirt & left on my beat up Jet sweatpants on which happen to be the most comfy damn sweats strictly for lounging purposes. Really feeling crafty at the moment & want to diy a tee with some stensils. Was also browsing another blog that uses stamps in the shapes of letters to do hers. I need some friggen stamps! I'm now starting to follow some of the muses' blogs from johnnysbird...thanks to twatter. (I swear I must have been a secret agent in my past life.) Some pretty awesome blogs with unreal inspiration.

xx wknd!

love me i'm lonely

2010-05-19T14:43:00.001-07:00

I've fallen in love with this site I stumbled upon, johnnysbird. The photos are so effing cool my photo folder is overwhelmed with new additions. There's not even an "about me"...I need to find you johnnysbird...my soulmate. Some faves-->

Yea so who's finding this tee for me?

Does is get much cooler than an old school 90210 bedsheet? Hello Dylan. I have a rerun on my tele right now.

My UO package arrived. Out of four, only one thing is getting sent back. Not bad. Scored some pretty sweet sandals and two pairs of silky shorts that really ought to be pajamas but that's what I was going for. One is even nude with lace trim. Can't wait to pair them with a shredded tee and my soon to arrive platform clogs. Plus check out mi madre's ebay store Caramia112. She sells some of her fabulous treasures as well as some of my stuff. Who doesn't love ebay? I just bought some crazy snake earring. Mmm goodies.

edit: found JB on twatter

edit2: JB tweeted me =)

i could really use a wish right now

2010-05-17T19:26:00.000-07:00

I am so not a miley fan but hot damn I love this outfit. Although it is obvious why I do, come on baggy knit and jogger shorts. Yeah everything I'm into these days. It's exactly what I want to be wearing now possibly paired with my combat boots. Unfortunately mother nature is having an internal with herself and taking it out on us by switching up the weather every other day. Yup buh bye 70's & sunshine...rain and 60's tomorrow. Whatevs. I may have an addiction to online shopping. Seriously. Just pre-ordered a pair of clogs from SM and ordered three pairs of shorts & sandals from UO. Mmm...can't wait for my goodies.

And hello...who is going to find this baby for me? Please I need these shorts...bad. Addiction see. Did find these. Must not order...must not order. They're called bloomer basically fancy name for diaper...& I'm the sucker that wants them. Decisions decisions.

all my scars are open

2010-05-14T09:48:00.000-07:00

What a good way to end the week....come home to goodies. I mentioned that I ordered a few tees from BoutiqueToYou (one of my fave online retailers), well my package came. Plus I ordered three books from Barnes & Noble and that came yesterday as well. Perfect. I've become a reading junkie & am slowly building my own library. Could be worse things. Anyway the tees I ordered are perfect summer tees that I will dress up or down. The one I'm wearing in the pics is LnA...extremely oversized & cropped only in the front. I can't wear all around cropped tees bc I'm way too self conscious to have my belly so exposed & the long back makes up for it. I also got an LnA muscle tee with huge arm holes that would look hot with a lacy bra underneath. And lastly, my new fave brand of tees, a short sleeve (also cropped front long back) black tee from Daftbird. Saw a pic of Audrina P wearing it & just loved the relaxed feel of it. Will be living in all the tees this summer.

Oh & hey stew. Stew in the new issue of Elle. Is it just me or would you be completely horrified being in a room covered in your pictures? Gives me the creeps. But damn it's a hot spread & I need a dress like the one she's wearing in the first pics. Thanks.

hot guys, fly girls

2010-05-11T10:08:00.000-07:00

Wanted to let you all know that one of our clients will be featured on TONIGHT's episode of MTV's The City! You'll get to see an exclusive interview with the designer of Jemma Wynne by Olivia Palermo for Elle.com. Jemma Wynne is a fine jewerly line that is absolutely stunning. Trust me it's hard to just "look" at the pieces. They refer to their line as the "cashmere hoodie" of fine jewelry..."rich but comfortable". So true.

These are a few pieces from their line. How gorgeous are the bangles? You could do some serious stacking and we all know I love a full wrist of bracelets. Don't forget to watch!! And I'd love to read your thoughts about the interview (I haven't seen it yet either) in a comment or even your own blog post ;)

Also went to a fun event last night with B.O. that was hosted by Ali from Charm & Chain for StyledOn.com. The space was incredibly decorated by Robert Verdi & was also the same location where Bethenny from NY housewives had her Skinny Girl Margarita event in the beginning of this season. Admitted housewives fan. Unfortunately I did not take any pics bc it was a last minute thing & was not prepared (not to mention in flats and felt so little). Although I have seen the pic taken of me and B.O. floating around...yea not pretty so it'll remain floating.

xx don't forget to watch

walk away from something when it's dead

2010-05-08T09:11:00.001-07:00

Some cheap finds always make me smile. Did a quick run to the mall during the week and found a legit pair of jogger shorts...but ugh in grey. Come on where on earth are the black ones? Bought them anyway. Got some silk trouser shorts and another pair of harem pants as well. But my favorite item is probably my new shoes from Aldo. Immediately when I saw the chunky platform I thought of a "summer version Acne". They are super light weight & easy to walk in & cost 60 bucks....come on. It's kind of icky out in nyc but hoping for some decent weather soon so I can wear my new babies. Plus I just ordered a bunch of tees from boutique to you (one of my fave online retailers) & probably shouldn't have spent as much as I did considering I just order tee shirts but seriously it's so hard for me to find tops I like. I need to stray away from the hanes tees. Can't wait for that package to arrive.

xx happy mother's day

she's just a baby

2010-05-05T09:48:00.000-07:00

Thank you Amy! I finally got my dress in the mail last night and I'm in love. It's super tight, not forgiving at all (guess more motivation to cut the junk) but it's super sexy. Obviously you all know I'm not used to wear super tight, super sexy pieces but this dress is just too hot and I can't wait to wear it out, probably grunge it up a bit with some combat boot high heels. And what's great is that it has an extra lining so no need for a bra & bc seriously I would never be able to fit one underneath it anyway ;)

Full shot. I guess curves do exist.

Definitely easy boob slippage here. Whatever it's just a boob.

Hope all of you are checking out purse blog for the Zara Terez giveaway. It's day 3 on the scavenger hunt but you still have a chance to win even if you can't play in the scavenger hunt. So check it out. Yesterday I was the one hiding with the bag and someone found me pretty quick. Mazol! Good luck!

i kept my fingers crossed

2010-05-03T17:30:00.001-07:00

Yeah so I made a quick version of my own jogger shorts saturday. Since I was obviously pissed at myself for not buying the Uniqlo pair, I had to improvise fast. When I want something I need instant gratification. It's a disease. So I found a pair of buried college sweats, cut them up, rolled them up and stitched. Tada. I know it's such a major DIY (please note the sarcasm). But they came out cute and are baggy on me. I wore them out for a bit on saturday night since it was nice and breezy with a plain black sweater. No pics of my night out but I'll be sure to wear them out soon.

And duh, obviously you all knew I'd go there. Tonight's Met Gala in the city. HUGE! And look who showed up. Girl crush entact. Stewy is ferosh wear Chanel Haute Couture. It's extreme which is what the gala is all about. It's where you can pull off pointy boobs and almost showing your britney. And please, all I had to see was the black and I'm in love.

Also wanted to let you guys know that one of our clients, Zara Terez, is doing a giveaway with Purse Blog. If you live in nyc, come take part in a Handbag Scavenger Hunt! For five days (started today) Zara will be tweeting clues as to where you can find a bag all over Manhattan. Her bags are named after different neighborhoods...so yea you get the idea. And tomorrow if you decide to play you'll have to find ME with the bag! Whoever finds the bag first wins. So follow ZaraTerez for the clues. You have four more chances to win. If you don't live in NYC visit PurseBlog for another chance to win a Zara bag. So no one's left out =). The bags are super cool and who doesn't love a free bag?

xx happy hunting

2010-04-30T13:09:00.000-07:00

Yes feeling so much better! Thanks for the well wishes. And hello wknd plus my brudder's birthday on sunday. Can't wait to go out and celebrate with the girls. Oh & if you're confused, my brudder (aka mi hermano) is not my actual "brother"...considering she is a she. Wasn't sure if I ever made that clear since I do mention my brud pretty often. Obviously there's a story to why we call each other brudders...anyway.....It's beautiful in nyc today and it's supposed to continue throughout the wknd. We all know my obsession with joggers lately so it's only natural that I'd be obsessed with joggers in the form of shorts for the summer. I am crazy about these IRO ones. The whole styling is brilliant too. They can be dressed up or just paired with a pair of sandals and a tee for work. Can't wait. Now kicking myself (and slapping my brud around) for deciding to skip out on a pair of grey ones I saw at Uniqlo last wknd. For some reason I thought I wouldn't wear them in heather grey and they didn't have black. Yup dummie here. Can't wait for Uniqlo to open up down the block from my office. Going to go rummage through my actual brother's sweats and see what I can cut up.

xx happy wknd.

wild in the streets, barely alive

2010-04-28T10:40:00.000-07:00

Meh, home sick. What else is new? I swear I'm within a 100 mile radius of anyone with a cold I will catch it. My life..totally fun. What sucks even more is blowing my nose with the new piercing. Yeah ouch...and gross. Well anyway wanted to take a few pics of my new top. I ended up returning the sheer button down bc it simply wasn't me and didn't want it to just sit in my closet. I exchanged it for the top in the photos (black and white vertical stiped tank) and a pair of black harem pants that I know I will live in. I couldn't resist the tank bc a) it's not that easy finding veritcal stripes (esp in black and white) & b) hello...this totally reminded me of beetlejuice, which I really want to name our new puppy but I think it may end up being oliver. Blah blah.

May wear the top for my brudder's 23 bday this wknd, just hoping for some good nyc weather. No diy projects today. Way too groggy from all the nyquil last night. But happy birth(yester)day dad!!

i know you're not afraid

2010-04-24T09:40:00.001-07:00

Yesterday my brud and I finally found some time to go see the Tim Burton exhibit at the MoMA which officially closes on Monday. Unfortunately we didn't anticipate it being completely sold out. Luckly my mom's bff Sandi hooked me up with two staff passes. Normally there's a specific time assigned to each ticket to be able to walk through, we literally went up the entrance and walked right because of the passes we had. So a HUGE thank you to Sandi. I've been such a huge fan of Tim Burton since the first film of his I saw, Batman. My all time favorite scene in any movie is when the Joker and his goons are spray painting the museum. I can watch that over and over again. I was blown away by how cool this exhibit was. Unfortunately there was a no photography allowed rule, but I snuck some on my bberry cam. Bad.

Clay art.

The Batman mask.

This was my ultimate demise in the exhibit. Seeing Edward Scissorhands' costume..wow. They also had catwoman's costume and the angora sweater Johnny Depp wore in Ed Wood. So cool.

Eerily delicious. Sweeny Todd's shaving blades.

Obviously brud and I managed to find ourselves in the kiddies' shape lab.

We spent the day shopping around. I picked up some cute tops at one of my good friend's store, Necessary Clothing. Will post another time. And then we continued our little adventure by strolling up St Marks Place late night...and yup got my nose pierced. I am terrified of needles but totally was fine during this. A little nervous, squeezed brud's hand but no tears. The part that hurt the most was getting the stud in my nose. But sooo worth it. I really love it.

xx happy wknd.

have ya, grab ya till your sore

2010-04-21T09:47:00.000-07:00

I bought this sheer button down top a few weeks back. I once saw soem blogger wear it (can't remember who) and fell in love. Saw a top at AA but opted out of buying it. Then saw a replica at h&m and thought why not it was 20 bucks. And now even though it was cheap, kinda regretting getting it because I have no idea how to pull it off. It's soooo not me. I don't typically show skin (aside from wearing mini skirts), I don't even like wearing tank tops for feeling too exposed. And now with this top I feel totally out there. In the photos I put a lace bra underneath and would never ever walk around with just that. Mom suggested just a black cami but for some reason I'm not feeling it. Was thinking about one of those corset lacey whatever bras (which obviously I don't have). So yeah I'm stuck. I really do like the top but yeah I may just have to settle with the fact that it's totally not me.

Anyway, I love love love all the comments complimenting my diy tees. Means a lot to me. Maybe I will do the diy one of these days. Actually heading to the craft store in a little bit for some more goodies.

Oh and mom bought me these pixels that I used to play with as a kid. How cute is this? Also made an "a". Hoping to find some silver chain to put them on.

pretendin' that you're oh so shy

2010-04-18T14:29:00.000-07:00

Been having a bad week so the only way to be distracted is to immerse myself in DIY's. Therefore continuing with my spray paint tee shirts I attempted the YSL one thanks a printed image of the logo. Tried to cover the edges with a towel so it wouldn't leak but it ended up leaking on the sides so I just ended up spraying more.

The finished product. I think it came out pretty cool.

Now my wall is quickly becoming filled with stencils. How cute is that rack I just bought to hang up most of my jewelry? You can't really see but I have two dried roses hanging off of it. Mom suggested I spray paint them black. Good thinking.

Oh and just found out I won this dress from chickdowntown. I totally forgot I entered some giveaway on her blog and just saw she tweeted my name. It's called the Saturday Night Dress. It's funky and obviously I requested it in black. Going to lay down now. Just got back from the Yankee game with my sisters. I never wanted a snuggie so badly in my life. It was freezing out. But my boys won so totally worth it...and def helped cheer my sisters and I up. =) Oh and so glad so many of you like my sex pistols tee. Makes me smile.

Oh hello. Yea no words necessary.

you like drugs you like brew

2010-04-15T15:48:00.000-07:00

So I did it. I made my very own Sex Pistols tee inspired by The Runaways. It involed a men's hanes tee, black spray paint, a cereal box and my mom's precision knife (that pretty much looks like a scalpel.) My buddy over at Isquisofrenia gave it a shot too and we decided to post together. Check her's out!! She's got wicked sense of style and shares my love for all things badass!!!

And the final product.

And now the stencils look pretty cool taped to my wall.

i look real hot in my tight blue jeans

2010-04-12T16:25:00.000-07:00

Yeah yeah so what if I sound like a broken record bc I don't care. I finally got to see The Runaways this wknd at some dingy theater and hot damn I fell in love. Granted the story is pretty obvious....quick rise to fame, even quicker downfall, but dude the music and the fashion in the film are brilliant. I was definitely on the bandwagon of totally hating stewy's mullet but I seriously can't get over how hot it looked in the movie. I can't wait to dye my hair black again asap (faded way too quickly) and wish I had the balls to chop it all off. Yeah I don't. The platforms and all the leather...ugh drooling over how perfect everything looked. The film is really all about girl power and doing what you love. I seriously regret quitting my guitar lessons when I was kid bc all I want to do right now is rock out. Instead I'm jamming in my room to the soundtrack.

I am making this tee. I must I must I must!

Now I just need a pair of tight leather pants and pair them with a dingy wife beater. In love. Now get out and see this movie. I promise totally worth it. Dakota is unreal and stewy is definitely less awkward but you know I love her so I'm totally biased. However even my big sister said it was great. She's very picky and not into the things I like. See it!

Also I'm working on pitching clients to some blogs..so need your help gathering some pretty awesome blogs. I tend to follow more personal style blogs but am looking for more general fashion blogs w/followings. Style.com-esq.

ps. glad you all like hamlet ;)

i'm not your babe

2010-04-10T11:32:00.000-07:00

Thank you for all the well wishes lovies. Feeling much better now although my allergies are totally kicking in now. Sneezing is not fun. But I'd like you all to say hello to Hamlet. Yup the skull has a name. He normally resides downstairs in my living room but I stole him for my room. Cheeky little fellow. Went to a cool restaurant with some of my girlfriends that I hadn't seen in some time last night. I was spraying Afrin in my nose while sipping some white wine. Totally worth it just for the guacamole and yummy pollo quesedillas. It was a restaurant slash lounge with a cave kind of feel. Definitely fun hanging out with girls and mingling with random group of men celebrating a bachelor party. They were all buddies from college yet not one of them was from here. I was getting lost in the brazilian and british accents. Because I still wasnt feeling well, I wore my comfy joggers and flowy black silk tank. Oh who am I kidding, I'd wear that even if I was totally fine. But am exhausted now running on a few hours of sleep and getting ready for another dinner party tonight. Ugh I guess I have to pretend to be social.

xx happy wknd

another shot of whiskey, can't stop looking at the door

2010-04-07T17:52:00.000-07:00

Mehh. Have not been feeling well this week at all. Feels like I got punched in the throat. But am surviving and have the rest of the week off to feel better. Who knew that dayquil/nyquil would be my new best friends? I'm that girl in the corner chugging away. And seriously of course I would get sick when it hit 91 degrees in central park today. And instead of enjoying the heat I was in a suite in the Waldorf all day. But it was for good reasons. Tonight's a big deal charity event and one of our clients donated to the gift bag so I was there stringing bracelets. Not complaining. If a free bracelet will help get people to donate money to the chairty that helps homeless women, then I would gladly do it again. Maybe minus the uber swollen sore throat. So yeah no piccies today since I'm death. But man I love this angel photo. Come knocking at my door baby.

and what are feelings without emotions

2010-04-04T12:22:00.000-07:00

Happy easter to all of you that celebrate. Doing absolutely nothing today aside from tanning in the backyard with the twins (my lil bro and sis). It's beautiful in nyc. Not quite warm enough to whip out the bikini so I opted for my flannel and frilly binki bottoms. Hey it's a look. Just wanted to do a quick post of my new tattoo. Isn't the smiley cute? Yeah no. It's more me just being my dirty self and haven't removed the absolutely unnecessary stamp that the bouncers at last night's bar felt that had to brand me with.

But I really would love something like this. Man I love tats. If I wasn't so terrified of needles I'd want crazy art work on my body. But what about something little? It's more of the idea of seeing the needle than the actual pain that freaks me out. You'd think I'd be used to needles considering I'm always at my dad's clinic. But nope...terrifying. *shivers*

not my time to wonder why

2010-04-02T11:13:00.000-07:00

Finally got my hands on a Runaways tee and this one is from urban outfitters. It's mens so it fits baggy and is super comfortable. I love that it has a real image on it. I'm considering distressing but I'm afraid to ruin it. Anyway I love it and can't wait to wear it out either with ripped black skinnies or just a plain tight mini. Also you can kind of see my new Alex and Ani "A" initial ring that I also got at urban outffiters. I've been obsessing lately over Alex and Ani's personal bangles you can make at Bendels & I love monogram anything, so I was stoked to find the ring. Got some other goodies from urban; pretty much just plain tees and this silence and noise baggy burnout sweater with short sleeves. It's big and long enough to wear as dress during the summer. Speaking of which...hello beautiful weather nyc. I gave in and laid out. Got some color but pretty much just loved laying out for hours and not freezing my ass off. So hello wknd, hope all of you that celebrate Easter have a very happy easter!

maybe i've been living for this cyber soul

2010-03-31T10:16:00.000-07:00

I'm a walking blob from eating too much these past two nights of passover. So dirty hair, no makeup & baggy sweatshirts it is. The rain has finally ceased and I'm just praying for some sun and warmer weather so I can actually wear the denim shorts I'm wearing in the photos outside. I'm in need of some vitamin d but is it weird that ever since I dyed my hair black I've been kinda liking my paleness? Maybe I won't be a crisp this summer. It's so hard when you live on the beach though. Anyway we just signed our first apparel designer at worked and we're super stoked. Nothing wrong with a little change and branching out from strictly accessories desginers. Still off from work waiting for a massive order I just placed with urban outfitters full of tee shirts. What a thrill. Oh...wearing a men's h&m sweater and vintage levi cutoffs in the pics.

tell me when you hear my silence

2010-03-29T08:31:00.000-07:00

It's a horrible rainy day in the city & extremely happy that the first sedar is at my house today which means I can be in sweats and a hoodie all day. Oh if you don't know what a sedar is it just means it's the first night of Passover, just another word for us to over indulge in food. Yum. But anyway was looking through some of my saved pics & these two really are some of my faves. I can't even begin to describe how elated I am with the fact that the joggers trend (aka sweats) is around. I want to be dressed like these two pics everyday. I've been living in my black pair whether to work with just a sweater or going to a bar with the girls paired with a tee, leather jacket and my favorite clog ankle boots. Which reminds me that I need a summer version of clogs. I'm just terrified of walking around in backless shoes. Backless + uncordinated is not such a great combo. But I adore these.

Hope you had a good wknd & if you celebrate passover like me...happy passover.

nowhere nowhere should know where

2010-03-26T13:42:00.000-07:00

Spent the day in the city with my mom which mostly consisted of me watching her get her hair colored while cute boys kept walking by me leaving me to be stuck in my head chanting "please be straight" over & over again. Hey there's nothing wrong with a little bit of looking. ;) Thought I'd change up the scenery with some outside pics. Nothing special but was in the mood. It's cold today (such a tease with the 70 degree weather last wknd) so I stuck with my favorite gap sweater that I'm postive was wrongly placed in the women's section, topshop leggings and my combat boots.

I'm officially...kinda...on a spring break even though I don't go to school. Not complaining just excited for passover. I could live on matzah.

xx happy wknd

I've never been afraid of any deviation

2010-03-23T16:19:00.000-07:00

Definite lack of blogging on part. Unfortunately I was struck some hideous bug over the wknd which left me severely nauseous and you know what usually leads to. However I am feeling quite better now & probably re-ate the weight I lost by not eating for two days in one sitting alone. Record to be proud of...erm. So just a quick post as I'm still awfully tired. Thought I'd show off one of my thrifting finds from the other week. Of course when I thrift, I go straight to the men's section. Came out with this uber comfy, ginormous sweater which I wore to work today so I was super cuddly. I really wonder if I'll ever get out of my oversized phase. Nah didn't think so.

Kinda seeing the ribbed action of the sweater. Plus my necklace which is basically just a charm I had lying around put on to a ball chain...which I had lying around.

And I really just wanted to show off my soda pop bracelet that took me forever to make. I'm usually quick with my own little diy projects but that bracelet took me forever...including slicing my middle finger open while rummaging all the cans in the recycling. I wouldn't even know where to begin with a tutorial as I copied someone else's and couldn't even understand it when it was written and simply followed the pictures instead. I used about 20 soda pop tops and two leather cords and wove them together. Instead of trying the ends but the cords I added two medium sized safety pins as closures. It's a new addition to my chain-filled wrist.

He smiled so I got up and asked for his name

2010-03-19T17:39:00.000-07:00

I am one dumb new yorker for not taking advantage of the beautiful weather we've been having. Instead I opted for what else...shopping. But nah don't regret it; got some goodies. Got a sweet pair of harem-ish pants from Urban Outfitters (not my favorite place...too boho for me) that are super baggy but tapered at the ankles. Plus seriously reduced from 60 to 10 bucks. Also scored a pair of studded flats from Steve Madden that are absolutely necessary for my wardrobe especially with this weather. And lastly got a mini studded bucket bag from H&M and a faux biker jacket. Mind you, all the jackets in the store were reduced 15 bucks. Yup, awesome! Can you tell there was a theme going with my shopping? I'm so transparent.

Well hello red leather! Nice to meet you. Stewy at another The Runaways premiere in Austin.

You should all know by now that The Runaways opened today but of course isn't playing in my theater. I'll have to wait till April 9th unless I feel like trecking it somewhere. Mother f....

Last night my biff marley invited me to join her to see The Script play a private show at a bar in Times Square. We both only knew one song from the band but hey drinking and good music..no problem there. We had dinner and plenty of wine beforehand so by the time we made our way to the bar we were giggly and enjoying the irish folk (the band is apparently big in Ireland). It was definitely laid back and just something different for us to do on a random tues night. The music was very good and not to mention the band was hot...plus I'm a sucker for any type of accent. Hello Irish! After the show we just went bananas in times square. You would think I'm such a tourist from the photos but nope nyc bred.

exhibit a: tourist. hah

the biff with her green flower that we got at the end of the show =)

hello glazed eyes.

Exhibit a=b: tourist. I just wore whatever I was in from work so super casual. My wildffox skeleton sweater, f21 black jeans & Steve Madden combat boots, leather jacket & balenciaga bag.

Such a fun night that is absolutely necessary for the working girls.

Yesterday nyc had a massive storm and knocked out the power. Yup I had no power from 4pm yesterday till 12:30pm today. I swear I almost had a nervous breakdown. There was only so much wax from the burning candles I can play with to keep my mind occupied. Cell was dead, laptop dead. Not a fun saturday night. Pretty much stayed in bed with a candle in one hand and my Bel Ami book in the other. Safe? Who cares. It was my only source of some damn entertainment. So yup did nothing this lovely wknd. However did see Remember Me friday. Granted the script was lacking in a strong plotline & it definitely tried to bring on the shock value (which was unnecessary in my opinion) but rp's performance was great and damn fine to look at. It's nice to see him on the big screen not as ec (which I don't find all that attractive anyway). But he really is a great actor & hopefully the box office numbers don't limit his career solely to twilight.

Oh and thought I'd show some badass joan jett pics since I've been listening to her old school hits on repeat lately. Cool article in the post today about her. "Women aren't allowed to own their sexuality. Well, I don't like being told what to do." Amen.

Hope everyone had a better wknd than yours truly.

you're my little dark dynamite you know

Spent the other day in my room doing a diy. I've been loving the draped skirt look lately especially the ones seen by Burberry (I went to the store in soho the other day and was literally drooling over it). Saw from some other blogs a diy version of the skirt and gave it a shot. I had some soft stretchy black fabric and used that. Granted it took me a while to complete since I don't know how to thread a sewing machine and did it all by hand. I somewhat prefer to do by hand; it's soothing when I'm not pricking my finger tips. Well this is the result.

It looks a bit drapier (word?) in person.

Blogger inspiration from vanillascented.

Stewy wearing the skirt at the Burberry Prorsum show in London.

And just had to add a shot from last night's The Runaways premiere. Totally stoked for this film. How can you not love badass rock n roll chicks? DFan looked stunning in Valentino & Stewy rocked hot pink from Doo Ri. I, like stew, am not usually one for wearing such strong colors but am really amazed at how great she looks and took the risk with the bubblegum.

Happy wknd. Remember Me today!!! Go see it!!

i can see the secrets you don't show

2010-03-09T16:31:00.000-08:00

What I wore to work yesterday. I bought these awesome baggy thin denim pants with an elastic wasitband and elastic at the ankles from h&m. Not really harem pants since they aren't a drop crotch. But they are uber comfortable and I loved them paired with my oversized gap black sweater. My mum said they looked like my grandma's pants. Hello, grandma had style. Wore the outfit with black ballet flats since it was another beautiful day in the city. An overall baggy outfit, what's not to love.

And YES!!! Got my new raybans today for an amazing price after searching every glasses store in manhattan & being told that no one carries them. They originally had clear lenses & couldn't be changed but today I got the call from a lovely girl that they are now with black lenses. If you can't tell from the pics, they are clear frames (except the top).

Hopefully the nyc weather keeps up this way. I was sent tickets to be in the audience for regis&kelly tomorrow. But ehh..sleep or be up at the crack of dawn? Hmmm. If rp was there...you know that's not even a question. ;)

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much

2010-03-07T19:45:00.001-08:00

The show isn't even over but I've been drooling over some of the dresses tonight that I felt an urge to post. Here's some of my top faves for Oscars 2010.I love that Cameron stuck to gold rather than vavavoom red. She looks stunning & her hair is totally new for her. Love.

I think it's impossible for Pene to get it wrong. This is how a nominee dresses.

Ok why are you here? But I'll give her credit for her phenom dress. Seriously the detail is beautiful. I still can't get over how much better she looks with uber dark hair.

Oh and like this is a surprise. Stewy is flawless in this Monique Lhuillier. And this is how a non-nominee dresses. (Get the memo JLo.) Yeah I know she can use some work on her posture but seriously girl is working this dress. And her hair! Yay finally a normal length for her to get a decent 'do out of it.

Hope everyone had a great wknd. Dyed my hair darker again (admit: slowly but surely becoming a hair dye adict) and saw Alice In Wonderland. My gosh what I would do to spend a day in Tim Burton's head. Definitely don't understand how it got a PG rating but ugh loved it! And come on Johnny Depp is brilliantly spooky. He actually frightened me in some of the scenes. Also did some shopping this wknd & spent plenty of time soaking up the 50 degree plus weather in nyc! Will post pics of some stuff soon. Back to the oscars.

driven by the strangle of vein showing no mercy i'd do it again

2010-03-05T11:16:00.000-08:00

Got my new Wildfox Skeleton Oversized Sweatshirt in the mail last night from karmaloop and I am in love! Every other site was all pre order so I'm thrilled I found karmaloop bc I ordered it Monday night and it came super fast. I've been craving this sweatshirt for a while, since we all know I'm a fan of weird (hello my skeleton gloves!) and now having it just reiterates my love for Wildfox. Mum said it looked like I was in a halloween costume..perfect! Plus got my package from f21 which included my Wangy-like sunglasses in the pics. As well as my new favorite stretchy rhinestone bangle and huge gold ring (which you can't really see). Also plan on getting these bad boys to add to my growing rayban collection. I love my wayfarers.

Happy wknd! Fall 2010 Press Preview is over! Time to chill out.

remember me

2010-03-02T17:12:00.001-08:00

Last night I had the pleasure of being a part of the Remember Me premiere. Hello Robert Pattinson. Obviously all of you know by now my *little* love affair with the man. Ok total lie...HUGE love affair. It took place at the Paris Theater which luckily for me is around the block from the office. And even better luck that I have the two coolest bosses that knew how important this was for me and let me leave work. Mind you, in the middle of Press Preview. Seriously I bounced just as InStyle walked in the door. It was bitter cold and I was alone since this totally was not planned (I had thought of just stopping by to see what it would be like early afternoon and a dude that worked there saw me by the theater, called me over and offered me a wristband which allowed me to be in a small group of people that would hopefully meet rp). But made some twitter friends so the time seemed to go by faster. But my small group definitely didn't stay that way when all the people in the streets saw the commotion. I went home with the worst headache but totally worth it bc got great video of rp coming over to me and signing my Bel-Ami book (I didn't have anything on me compared to what most people had). Could have stayed to actually see a screening but I was so overwhelmed from the experience, I'll wait till next fri.

Screencaps from my vid. I melt.

I love the giggles (when he saw my book, seriously you know none of his fans are reading it...but definitely recommend it's pretty good).

Oh yea stewy was there (really tiny in person) rocking some sick Burberry Prorsum Lace Pants. Love that she paired it with a black tee and leather, although she is wearing an inside out tee that has print on the front. Guess home girl didn't bring plain tees to the city. ;)

Overall fun night. A little interesting adventure I did on my own so I'm quite proud of myself. Plus before I went my brudder bbmed me and I quote "make sure to grab condoms you know just in case." Ah my friends know me well.

yea you walk these lonely streets and people stare

2010-02-28T16:11:00.000-08:00

I hate Sundays. The weekend is ending and I usually wake up in the not so best shape if you know what I mean. Three hours of sleep will do that to you. These are just some pics of what I wore last night. Some rolled up trousers from my mom's closet, my harley and nine west clogs. (Feet are paying for that now.) Originally opted for an oversized white button down but switched last minute to the tee. Got a questioning eye from mum before I left but then my favorite saying "it's you." And that's most important right?

Last week of press preview; crunch time. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor

2010-02-26T15:19:00.000-08:00

Damn I'm tired of my mug. But wanted to show you guys another pair of earrings I wore home from the office by the same designer from the last post. They're big rhinestone-ish hoops. I am so not an earrings person, usually sticking to my studs, but I've been trying them out. Add a little funk to my plain outfits of oversized sweaters, leggings and combat boots. Although I can't wear fake earrings for too long before they begin to hurt. I guess my ears are just spoiled for the gold ;).

Also aren't these sunglasses pretty badass? The other day I placed an order from f21 for nothing in particular (one of those nights where I just ordered any cute little thing I saw) and bought these. I hadn't even seen the Wang version (above) before I bought them. Hope they look as cute in person when they get here.

Happy wknd. NYC is currently buried in 2 feet of snow and I'm enjoying it considering I had no where to be today.

no wise words gonna stop the bleeding

2010-02-23T12:59:00.000-08:00

Press preview continues which is getting a great response but my fingers may fall off from the excessive emails typed on my bberry. It's all good. Glad you guys liked some of the products from the last post. I took some vain pics wearing a pair of our client's earrings. They're beads and spikes. Pretty damn cool and were just shot for Monday's NYPost with two credits. Not bad. Also wearing my fave harley tee that I got on ebay a while ago and is full of holes which makes me love it even more. Also dyed my hair for the first time the other day. Did it out of a bottle. I'm one of those that needs instant results so I never would have gone through with it if I actually waited to "get my hair done". I went darker but chickened out with the black. Regret it. Next time going for black. Now I actually like that I'm pale with the dark locks. Hair Dye Junkie here I come.

don't forget my lipstick, I left it in your ashtray

2010-02-20T11:10:00.000-08:00

I'm really crazy about a.o's look at The Row fashion show. I love the whole covered up, comfy look. And plus it's grey and black. Who needs color. I feel like if I tried it I'll just look sloppy, but hey it's all about confidence right?

Plus the look works here too. Seriously considering whipping out my maxi skirt. And damn I love that tan shearling.

We had our first week of the press preivew and it's going great. Snapped some photos of the set up & some of my fave pieces on my phone. But promise to take better pics when I bring my camera in next week.

The wall of bags.

Sick pair of mohawk earrings.

A tree of earrings.

The two coolest rings. I swear I'm in my own personal hell with all the cool jewelry. "Water water everywhere but not a drop to drink."

Promise for better pictures soon and links for everything once it's all done. And these pictures show nothing compared to what we actually have in the office.

xx happy weekend

said I used to think the past was dead and gone

2010-02-17T09:13:00.000-08:00

Press Preview officially kicked off yesterday and now I'm home while things are still mellow before more appointments with editors start rolling in. I was browsing through some old pics & was inspired by kstew's Interview Mag photoshoot. I guess when inspiration hits, you roll with it. So I had a little fun of my own whipping out my deep red lipstick, plastic wrap, & ripping models' faces to shreds from mags to find perfect sized lips.

Mmm...those babies belong to me (not that juicy in real life...damn).

My source of inspiration. Obviously I'm not as cool. But I take pride in the fact that I'm admittedly uncool.

Yesterday in between appts, the girls and I were discussing the fashion bloggers rise (they know I have a blog) and I woke up this am with an email from one of them with the subject "WWD must have overheard us yesterday" (we have a spy) & then this LINK. It's an article about the fashion bloggers' new fame & their attendance at fashion week. It's pretty damn awesome/ridiculous. Now all I want to do is pimp out my blog. I do understand both sides, considering I'm a blogger & my boss is a former editor. But I'm one all for change & look forward to see where bloggers end up.

"I'm allergic to vagina"

2010-02-13T09:22:00.001-08:00

Mmm...feast and enjoy on this delicious new photoshoot of rpatz for Details magazine. I have never wanted to be a nude model as much as I do now from seeing these photos. I'm just happy these photos finally show him as a "grown up" not a damn 17 year old (vampire). Plus I'm digging the leather and mesh outfits the models are wearing in some pictures. Very sexy.

Crazy about the effect of this one. Oh and the title refers to a quote from rob in the interview. I love his sense of humor (he was referring to being with the nude models for 12 hours) and I think I'd be able to get rid of that allergy. Just saying ;)

Sorry for lack of posts...we're prepping for our Fall 2010 Press Preview for fashion week. Except ours will be three weeks long in the office as opposed to a hotel like last season. So these next few weeks will be filled with appointments with editors. Plus I love that so many of you were digging the jumper. If you're interested my mom has an ebay store where I usually give her a bunch of my shit to sell and she has all these vintagey kinds of jumpers on sale there too. Go to Caramias Collection for some of my stuff and my moms. She's constantly adding more shit..a pair of my lace up boots are up for sale there that I posted about a while back.

rip McQueen.

baby is a bad boy with some retro sneakers

2010-02-10T10:09:00.001-08:00

My mom walked in my room this morning holding this retro navy blue with teal and purple flower patterned sweater. It was a major laughfest this am bc her friend gave it her after finding it buried in her closet to sell on ebay. It's super soft so right now it's keeping me warm while I watch the snowfall outside. Is it weird that I almost find the pattern somewhat endearing? Trying to see if I can work with it or just let it become one of my many inhouse sweatshirts.

Also right now on Gilt one of our clients is having a major sale. Her name is Amanda Rudey and she is the sweetest person ever and makes gorgeous fine jewelry including the big flower ring above. Whenever I want simple pretty pieces, I always go through her stuff. And her website amandarudey.com is 20% off if you get the code from people.com. Also another one of our clients is having a giveaway on handbag dujour. It's Zara Terez and it's a sick bag & who doesn't love free stuff. Click away. I'm such a pimp whore right now.

i ain't got no fight in me

2010-02-07T11:04:00.000-08:00

It's been about two years since I first left home and moved to Italy for four months. I'm kind of in the reminiscing mood and was going through all my old pictures. It's funny to see how much of me has changed and how much has stayed the same. Definitely had some questionable fashion choices in the mix including a pair of yellow moccassins I had to have from one of the few vintage stores along the Arno. It cracks me up. I love the two pictures above. My old friend and I climbed over a bridge to overlook the water. People would climb it to watch the sunset and drink wine. I'm too clumsy to drink wine and climb. The pictures seem so long ago yet also like it was yesterday at the same time. I even know what's in that blue bag after I had a little shopping spree that day. I bought a Missoni scarf for my mom since she loved my hot pink and blue one and managed to find her a black and white one. Love Missoni scarves. Hmm love those days.

Ugh and seriously miss Paris as well when I went there for a weekend with the bff. Can't wait till I'll be able to go back to there hopefully in warmer weather.

Again thank you all for supporting my fan page. I'm almost at 200 fans. =) Hope everyone had a good weekend. I definitely did. It included booze, random boys and aerial dancers. Success. I opted for comfort as usual and wore a Nirvana tee with my Dana Buchman blazer and f21 necklace (and wore my hair up for once which I never do). Er wore a sick top from Urban. See through lace..mmm. I swear we had other friends out with us (including my sister) but we are what we call "wanderers". We tend to migrate (hence random boys).

skies they blink at me, i see a storm bubbling from the sea

2010-02-05T12:30:00.000-08:00

I'm so crazy about these photos from Adam Kimmel's Fall/Winter (source of photos: Jak and Jill). They're the perfect amount of freak and creepy and anything that strays from normal is perfect in my eyes. I may have nightmares from the masks but so worth it. And thank you all so much for your support about the fanpage. It means a lot to me. Fan number keeps growing...so keep it up. Happy weekend everyone! Nyc is expecting a snow storm. I hope not, don't want to be stuck in all wknd. Also just saw Dear John. I read the book earlier in the week & absolutely hated the female character (and ending). The movie changed the ending which I can't decide if it's better than the books. Overall conclusion of the movie/book: 1) Channing Tatum is hot and surprising very good in the role 2) Nicholas Sparks...kinda a dud. But I'm a sap so yeah I cried at one part during the movie.

2010-02-04T10:45:00.000-08:00

Tuesday I made a fan page for the pr firm I work for. It's a joke between us there calling me "social media guru" since I follow a ton of blogs and what not. So while we still work on my position title..guru it is. Anyway, I thought I'd link you guys to our fan page that I've been working pretty hard on. You can see what it is exactly we do and all of our clients. I had a goal yesterday that our first official day public on facebook, we could get 100 followers by the end of the day...and I'm stoked to say we did! So please become a fan of b'squared & friend me if you'd like! The website of our clients are posted and I'm telling you, you will definitely be sure to fall in love with some amazing jewelry and handbags. I'd love to hear your thoughts about it!

i think you could save my life

2010-01-31T10:29:00.001-08:00

Went to a rooftop bar last night and probably shouldn't have considering my urge to sneeze is so bad right now. I swear my face is going to be a permanent sneezing expression. I opted for comfort last night since it was freezing and am still sick. Wore an H&M white see through long sleeves top paired with the H&M black joggers from the last post. And topped it off with my f21 necklace. While all these chicks were freezing in itty bitty dresses (like come on now it was 15 degrees out) I was comfy and really liked the whole look of the outfit. Oh and I got bored before doing my makeup and put on some fake tattoos. You can kinda see one little flower on my middle finger. Also put a star on my hand. So lame but it satisfies my desire to have a real one one day. I want some sort of text yet no idea what so fake it is for now. Plus the rents may murder me but it's way more fun being bad.

in the morning i'll be with you

2010-01-28T11:47:00.000-08:00

So a normal person, when sick, would be cuddled in bed watching re-runs of the OC. But I'm anything but normal. I decided to run to the mall. And even though I definitely ended up breaking a fever there because I was sweating hardcore by the time I left, I'm glad I went. After several unsuccessful trips I finally got some damn good pieces. An H&M oversized blazer, as well as oversized grey sweater. (Like I'd wear anything fitted.) Also a pair of H&M sweats that are tight at the bottom and I plan to roll them up and go for that whole "joggers" look with chunky heels (and pair them with a blazer as well). The whole wearing joggers as regular pants this season will definitely be all over FW. And I recently saw another blogger put the look together and fell in love. Oh and I got sick velvet leggings from f21. They're a size bigger than I'd normally go for leggings but I couldn't pass 'em up. Plus a huge chunky necklace from their that I saw on their website. It's look vintage in person which obviously I dig.

Hopefully I didn't kill my immune system even more by shopping while I'm sick. I get the point with my drippy nose..I'll stay in bed. For now.

now i'm free from all the things that saved my friends

2010-01-26T13:11:00.001-08:00

Damn there ain't nothing hotter than a man who can swoon with his guitar. (Or any instrument for that matter...mm caleb and rp.) I'd take a guy in a hoodie and ripped jeans and dirty kicks over a stuffy suit anyday. It's nice to that a man can put himself together every now and then but I much prefer a more laid back style. Everyone has their tastes (and their weaknesses). Mine just happen to be long hair (use your imagination) and facial hair. A little scruff never hurt no one.

Just had to add this pic of some besties (marl, me & er) to give a major shoutout that "best friends share and let friends..." That is all ;) Wild.

And if you're curious this pic is from sat night. I went completely casual in a men's ginormous AA grey vneck and ripped f21 jeans. Plus my trusty leather from Florence.
xx

i was uncool before it was cool to be uncool

2010-01-24T12:00:00.000-08:00

Got myself a new pair of boots. Been searching for the perfect pair of combat boots and ordered myself these babies from Steve Madden. They're listed as black but totally look more of a distressed brown and I love them. Whether folding them over or just leaving them straight up, they're the perfect amount of cool. Also chopped my hair. It's still below my shoulder but definitely a major change for me. Tons of choppy layers which gives my hair so much more fullness and volume. My hair girl went crazy with the curling iron yesterday and I left the salon totally kstew style from the last post. Let's just say I'm pleased. Oh and rediscovering my skull ring (top pic). It was so cheap and is tarnishing but that makes me love it more.

no one loves the nighttime at the door

2010-01-21T11:59:00.000-08:00

Finally bought myself a semi decent plain striped tee. It's more of thin greyish stripes than black but it'll do until I find the perfect one. Sleeves are a bit awkward length so they look best rolled up. It's definitely a top I'll be comfy in with just plain black jeans. Even with my dirty hair and my FAVORITE topman hat covering it up. Which reminds me that I plan to cut my hair this weekend. No not a bob but definitely shorter. I was mortified to see some pics from this weekend where my hair looked like a sheep dog. It's finally reached the point where it's too long. Aiming go for something right at my shoulder and a bit a choppy with added layers.

Some of my hair inspirations. Old Kstew and A.O.

if it's not forever, if it's just tonight

2010-01-17T09:16:00.000-08:00

Celebrated one of my best friend's 23rd birthday this weekend. We started friday with dinner at her house and her parents surprised her with a cake from The Cake Boss. We love Buddy. And damn that cake was delicious. I swear I have a permanent smile plastered on my face from her grandma telling us stories and cracking us all up. Actually hurts to move my mouth but so worth it. Last night we went to a bar? lounge? whatever the hell you call it these days. I attempted to recreate Christene Centenera's all grey outfit (in black of course). I suck at taking pictures out so I'm just posting some from my room. It really just looks like I'm wearing a tight mini and huge sweater which basically I am but the mini is a bandage skirt I got from H&M a few weeks. I love it. It does not stretch out and totally sucks everything in. My sweatshirt is just a plane Hanes pullover I got at target months ago for like five bucks. I was super comfortable and warm in it. And thank goodness it was warm out (yea a whole 45 degrees..we'll take what we can get here in nyc) so I opted out of wearing stockings and wore my new nine west boots.

Hope everyone has a good weekend..I'm officially a full time working girl now...(not the street walker kind) so taking advantage of down time.

i touch the place where i'd find your face

2010-01-14T16:07:00.000-08:00

Seriously obsessing over Christene Centenera (fashion editor for Harper's Australia) lately. These are just two of some of favorite pictures I've seen of her while stumbling upon someone else's blog. She literally is the epitome of easy and fresh style and I'm totally crushing right now. And am seriously considering chopping off some inches of my locks to get this look. I'm getting quite frustrated with my long mane. Anyway, I so want to emulate her style. I'd kill to look half as good wearing baggy pants and a tee and just throwing on a blazer and heels. Need to wear this to work as soon as it gets warmer. Love a fresh face. And the whole heather grey outfit...possibly stealing this look this weekend (but obviously in all black). I'm such a copycat..err inspired?

Thanks for the get well wishes! I have officially returned to the normal world and went to work today even though I just got the cast off on tues. I swear my doc has the lightest touch. Not a bruise on my face just a little swelling. If you didn't know my face, you'd never know. So I'm officially pleased and so happy I finally got to do this, which was done absolutely for ME!

set me down in your warm arms

2010-01-10T10:24:00.000-08:00

Hello hello hello...so obviously I'm the worst person to tell you have to be on bed rest because clearly I don't pay attention. Just wanted to thank you all for our sweet well wishes. I am doing great. I had surgery but don't fret it was totally elective but no I did not get my boobs done. I'm actually proud of what little I've got there ;) Oh like I said in the last post, my luck it would be that I'd get my shoes the day of my surgery and of course I did. Mommy dearest scolded me when I got home high on pain meds and still waking up from anesthesia and first thing I do was open up my package with my shoes. I love them. They're cool and edgy and just what I need. Better than any remedy. Can't wait to finally get out of the house though and wear them. Probably making my social debut next weekend for one of my best friends birthdays so pictures are to be expected! Plan on catching up on all of your blogs for the next few days until my big reveal doctor's visit Tues. Very excited to be back to normal. By the way if you're that curious I had a rhinoplasty procedure done and I am in no way ashamed of it. I've always been pro plastic surgery if done for the right reasons. I've really been lucky with a great doctor and had minimal bruising and swelling and pretty much stuck to tylenol, didn't even need to use the hard stuff! Worst parts are definitely sleeping bc I normally sleep on my stomach, head buried (so that's been hard to adjust to) and not being able to wash my face. I am a grease monster!

But all is well thank goodness. If anyone has had anything done or is considering it and would like to share..I'd love to hear it.

Kicks

2010-01-04T14:01:00.001-08:00

I literally drool over this picture from the Jak&Jill blog. I want chunky platform knee highs and want to rock old school addidas kicks. But for now I'm going to have stick to some flannel pjs and comfy socks. I may have to go a little MIA for a few days depending on how I feel over the next few days. I said before in a post a while back that I have something big coming up. Well that big thing is tmrw and even though I'm excited, I'm extremely nervous as well and not looking forward to being on strict bed rest. But I know it'll be totally worth it and once I'm up to it will be back posting. =). (Not like I post everyday anyway..sooo) It's not that hard to figure out what's going on but just don't want to straigh out say it and advertise it. But I know I'll be keeping up with all of your blogs for some entertainment.

xx

Oh and still have yet to receive my new boots which sucks. I'm sure they'll be here tmrw..perfect timing! JOKES!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year! Hope everyone had an amazing night. My first post of the new year and just wanted to say I'm excited to see what will come this year. Definitely plan to keep up on the blog. Love my bloggie friends. I've actually made a new year's resolution for the first time which I broke only hours into the new year. Ok so redo.

Me and biggie sis going for the typical sparkly new years look. And believe me there were plenty of sparkle outfits to both love and HATE that night. Quite amusing to see how many different sparkle colors can fit in one room. Anyway hope everyone has a happy and a healthy new year.

then i see you standing there

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. Like I said in my last post, my friends and I went matzo ballin'...haha. Definitely had a good time out except for coming home and noticing the drink some dude spilled on my was cranberry juice and left a pink streak down my back. Totally cool. Whatever it came out.

Anyway ordered these shoes from nine west. I saw them a few months ago but wasn't sure if I really liked them but they were ridiculously on sale on the website including free shipped so I couldn't resist. Can't wait till they get here.

Hope everyone got some great goodies!

who have you been loving

2009-12-24T09:19:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas Eve! So who wants to get me these shoes? I just love the cork and the leather so much! Totally does not matter that I don't celebrate Christmas. =) I hope that all of you have a very happy holiday and get everything you wished for. I am now officially on break from work for the holidays and unfortunately not going anywhere warm. Work resumes after the new year (and yes I'm still with my internship because I can't bare to leave my favorite girls and we're working on something more permanent for me..ahh). However I am going to have to take some extra time off after the new year for something MAJOR which I will most likely discuss on here after the fact. But I am super excited and it's less than 2 weeks away.

Anyway again, Merry Christmas! Can't wait to read about all the goodies everyone got. I'm probably hanging out with my buddies tonight because for us jews it's mazto ball eve. It's so lame but really funny. Pretty much all us jews go out partying in search of our future spouses. haha just kidding! (kinda) And obviously tmrw I'll prob be at the movies. Wow I'm such a stereotype/cliche. Whatever I'm totally allowed to make fun of myself.

Relaxing for the rest of day and trying to figure out when to use my holiday gift the girls at the office bought me (a gift certificate to Bliss Spa..mmm massage).

i see you

NYC had the first snow of this winter season last night and damn it was a lot. Tried to take a picture of how deep it was but you can't really tell. But I assure you it's definitely over a foot. I don't live in Manhattan so the plows don't come right away to clean up the streets so now I'm thankful for my jeep.

Most people here hate the snow but I definitely don't mind it when I wake up on a Sunday morning with nothing to do. Granted it did ruin my plans to go out on Saturday night but I treated myself to all day movie marathon. And the snow still looks pretty here bc it's so quiet and not that many cars drive through. I can just imagine what the city looks like now; probably all grey by now. I'm wearing my H&M pea coat, my fave high top chucks and of course Raybans.

You wouldn't believe I live in a beach town from these pictures.

Even though the streets weren't really plowed, I did get to see Avatar today hence the pic above of my sister in her rayban-like 3d glasses. I had been reading reviews that aside from the beautiful visuals the story sucks but Oh My Gosh!!! I am totally in love with this movie. I normally agree with critics (accept when it comes to a little thing called Twilight) but I really did love the story of the film. The entire time all I kept thinking about was Pocohantas and John Smith. The effects were absolutely breath taking to watch (not nauseating as I thought it might be with 3d) and I wish I lived on a planet like theirs. But really aside from the effects and the love story the whole back story and major plot of the film, I felt was brilliantly worked on and thought out. So if you haven't seen it, go! Oh and if you see the movie you'll know what the title means.

you know I got it

2009-12-17T14:30:00.000-08:00

Officially done with school for good! Handed in my last final today. I guess now the real world begins. Scary yet exciting at the same time. Whatever I soooo will not get mushy and emo. Just wanted to share with you guys my new necklace that my favorite girls in the world aka the two fabulous girls I work for gave me for my birthday/graduation. I am in love! It's one of our clients's signature pieces with rhinestone chains and denim woven in. All of her pieces are so rocker and badass. She's definitely my new favorite jewelry designer. The girls knew how much I love her pieces since I'm usually oggling them and at our press preview during fashion week I was decked in her stuff. So now I have my very own. And if you guys are interested in it or any of her pieces (she's brand new and definitely on the rise) check it out at Charm and Chain. Most of her stuff is sold their and not to mention several of our other clients which also includes the owner of the site. Yea I'm totally pimping out the biz right now...

i was lost then i was found...

2009-12-14T10:19:00.000-08:00

Have I said how happy I am that my best friends graduated & are living home again? No? Well I am because they were home for the first time in four years for my birthday and it was definitely one of the best birthdays I've had in years. On my actual birthday I spent it with my family doing the usual: movies, birthday dinner, cake etc. The next day I spent at my sisters apt where she took my a sushi restaurant with unlimited saki and wine and what do you know all my closest friends surprised me there. Everyone who knows me knows I hate making a big deal of my birthday and never would have planned anything so they took it upon themselves. Yea that's me surprised up top with cupcakes and a big birthday cookie. We went to a few bars after and seriously nothing is better than spending the time with your best friends.

Back at my sisters apt goofing obviously. You can't really tell what I wore but it was an H&M striped mini skirt, black Zara tank and my Dana Buchman oversized black blazer.

We really love each other.

I'm in love with this picture and my best friends. Love you and everyone else that made my birthday extra special.

devil in disguise

2009-12-11T13:49:00.000-08:00

I posted this pic a while back raving about stewy's skeleton gloves. Well my mom knows I'm a freak and like weird things so she surprised me with my very own pair! And I am obsessed! (She hates that word.)

She got them off of the fabulous ebay for me. I wore them today for the first time which happens to be one of the damn coldest days of the year. And windiest..I swear I almost blew away. But I got my trusty spooky gloves and I don't care if they look like part of a halloween costume.

Oh yea it's my birthday today too..bla bla. And the first night of Chanukah and I am officially done as a college student. So big weekend. Lots to celebrate!

i'll be your queen

2009-12-07T13:26:00.000-08:00

Ok I promised outfit post from this wknd..yea well if you saw what those pics looked like you would just make fun of me. But I definitely have an excuse for that. It was my big sister's birthday celebrations so a lot of vod was consumed. Vod + pictures equals not a good mix. But I had an amazing time and woke up the next morning with an amazing story that's probably not appropriate for this blog. ;) So since those pics were a bust I figured I'd show off my new scarf. I'm in love because it is just so damn comfy. It's from H&M and got it 50% off. It's like a big blanket around my neck...heaven.

Hope everyone had a good weekend as well!

i'll be your lover too

2009-12-04T12:48:00.000-08:00

Extreme lack of updates lately. Sorry! I'm officially a college graduate as of next week so as you can guess I'm kind of swamped with work. Plus my big sister's birthday just passed so we had to do the whole dinner thing and she's having a party this weekend (brat..j/k). And when her birthday passes that means mine is next week...ick! Yea I'm not one for the whole birthday thing. I had my 21st last year so I'm kinda over it. Yup I am debbie downer in the flesh. hahah. But I have been having fun with all the online sales. Just received my Elizabeth & James Torn Deconstructed Tee (above pic) from Chickdowntown. And I got it for 40% off because of a Black Friday sale. Not bad. (Oh and they are still having a 40% off sale of the entire site.) They only had a large left and it's big. Alright it's huge but I love it and I probably could have made it myself but I really don't care. Oh and I have still yet to finish the DIY but I swear I will hopefully this weekend after my sister's bday party. Which means I need an outfit! I really want to wear my sister's sequin leggings, so now just need some ideas of what top to throw on with it. Was thinking a white oversized button down or maybe my vinatge harley davidson tee. Either way I want to do it with some edge and I would love your suggestions! So help and then I will definitely get in an outfit post next!

i want your crazy

2009-11-30T14:21:00.001-08:00

I started working on a new DIY yesterday. Haven't finished it yet because my fingers were killing me and I don't use a sewing machine. My mom has this crazy closet in the house that's full of crafty things. Seriously you'll fund everything and anything. And literally on spur of the moment I wanted to update an old oversized sweater so I found already sewn strips of sequins. I just sewed them on in strips.

So far with one shoulder it looks pretty cool. I'm really digging the fact that it's white sequins so it really stands out. After trying it on my mom said I should put shoulder pads in it. And what do you know she whipped out old pads she's saved (can't tell you why) and some velcro. Now my old sweater is bedazzled and padded. Hoping to finish it sometime this week. Unfortunately finals are approaching so I'm on a time crunch. But that means graduation in 2 weeks...

None of my packages came yet so because of my impatience did a little bit of shopping. Bought the ring in the picture in multicolor that I just ordered in a solid color. The multicolor is cheesy but I figured I'd double it with the solid one when it gets here.

Just happy to have a double ring =). Wearing Essie Loophole polish (silver) with Essie Carnival over it. It's a clear with a ton of sparkles (you can't see it). I put it on top to make the silver look a little less space cadet.

When'd this just become a mortal home?

2009-11-27T11:32:00.001-08:00

Happy thanksgiving everyone! Ate a lot and pretty much died after. First time in a long time it was held at my house with just the six of us and I really enjoyed it. Not having to get dressed and everyone eat in pj's is a perfect evening for me. As well as drinking bottled sangria with our own fresh cut fruit plus the fact that we catered in this huge dinner..doesn't get better. And now all I want to do is lay in bed all day long (which I've been doing anyway) and cuddle. Yet I'm also anxiously listening for the doorbell for a package I ordered from F21. Oh I wouldn't be caught dead attempting to shop on Black Friday. Sorry no sale is worth the beating I'd have to hash out to all the crazy hyperactive shoppers. Bed and browsing online is way more fulfilling. Yet dangerous since there are plenty of BF sales online too. So far I've been going through my favorites and there are defnitely good deals that you should check out.
Chickdowntown, BoutiqueToYou, and Singer22.

Lady In Red

2009-11-23T12:54:00.000-08:00

Had my uncle's wedding this weekend which wa sbasically my first wedding unless you include my aunt's wedding when I was one (exactly to the day..it was on my first bday..yea obviously my mom wasn't too thrilled about that.) It was Jewish ceremony at a beautiful temple in the city. They actually had an orthodox ceremony which was not what they wanted but when does anything go exactly according to plan? Yea never. This was the second wedding for my uncle and my new aunt and we're very happy to have her join the family. She had told me about her dress beforehand but watching her walk down the aisle took everyone's breath away because she hadn't told anyone her dress was RED! It was unreal, stunning, gorgeous. The reception then took palce across the street at an empty townhouse and I literally have no words to describe how beautiful it was. Definitely did not take as many (or decent) pictures as I wanted to because I did have several (or more) glass of wine. My dad by the end of the night asked me how come I'm not normally this flirtatious in real life? I was like umm dad I'm talking to my new cousins now I am not being flirtatious! Haha thanks dad.

First off a little cake. So pretty.

Groom and bride giving toasts. They were thanking everyone because instead of doing gifts, the guests all donated to my uncle's cancer research organization that he developed at his hospital. They actually met because a woman wrote a book about my uncle's work with cancer research and and the author of the book introduced them.

The cutest little cousin in the world and future baseball star!

Yeah my sister thinking she's cool doing the sprinkler.

The fam! we call ourselves the Addam's family because we're always the ones in black. Well my big sister decided to stray from our normal attire and opted for green. Of course my and my little stuck to black. ;)

The cutest picture of the night. Everyone doing the hoorah!

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

I Want Your Horror

2009-11-19T14:19:00.000-08:00

What did you think I'd forget? And my favorite of them all with the conclusion of the New Moon press tour. Stewy in Oscar De La Renta at the LA premiere. Simply gorgeous especially with her sig messy hair. Had a really long and tiring week so keeping this short. Seeing an afternoon nm showing tomorrow and then probably just relaxing at home for the rest of the day. Saturday I have my uncles wedding and I took home some pretty hot jewelry from the office to wear with my dress. Probably going to end up wearing a rosette bracelet that Blair from gg just wore as a choker on last weeks epi. Yup we sent it to her. We actually had three clients on the characters in one episode. Pretty epic!!

Hopefully some wedding pics by sunday...depends on how much champagne is consumed ;)

I Want Your Lovin'

2009-11-16T12:57:00.001-08:00

Yay 100th post! I have to give myself a big mazol tov considering I lose interest fairly quickly with whatever I'm doing but I have grown to love blogging even though this started out as class assignment. See I am all smiles (ie: me with a big cheesy grin in the middle).

Anyway, spent most of the weekend with my sister at her place and celebrated my friend krantz 22nd birthday. Ugh I can't believe we are all reaching 22. I'm glad I'm the baby and the last one to celebrate my birthday of my friends (I'm a december baby).

I'll admit right now these pics from this night are not the most attracted considering alch may have been involved and decided to contort my face into wierd expressions and it was a monsoon outside. But I managed to stick to my all black uniform with my big faux fur and division E tee.

The best part was definitely being able to spend time with my two girls that I don't get to see that often. We met when we both were freshmen in albany and were the first three to leave after first semester because ickk that school was gross. A fun night overall. Happy birthday krantzieee!

New Moon Fashion

2009-11-12T14:03:00.000-08:00

I won't even go into the whole rant...you know by now I love "it". Not ashamed. Moving on. Now that the film finally comes out in theaters next week, there's been a ton of international press and red carpets. And of course this means, tons of fashion. Taylor Lautner aka Jacob sure knows how to pick a suit but that's it. Not much fun to his wardrobe but definitely cleans up nice I'll give him that much. (I guess I'm just hardcore Team Edward.) Of course RP looks sloppy most of the time but that is just his appeal (well to me at least). I find it way hotter to see a man comfortable in his outfit than all stuffy. But the main focus has to be KStew's many dresses (aside from oggling RP's mug of course).

Trio in Paris. Definitely favorite here. This J Mendel dress is absolutely angelic and really looks great with her pale skin. I even really like the harsh contrast between the cream and her jet black 'do.

Here's the trio at a London event with stewy wearing a Proenza Schouler Hemp Linen Dress. She's been getting a lot of flack for it and to be honest I don't like it either. I saw what this dress looked like on the runway and that's exactly where it was meant to be and stay. Granted her legs look phenom and really...who's looking at her anyway with RP there? ;)

Next stop: Madrid Fan Event. Stewy's rocking a gorg Balenciaga and not to mention those hot booties. I think the dress paired with the black hair is badass. Win.

Madrid Press Conference: Hello blood red pumps! I think this might win my fave look so far. The Elizabeth and James leather bustier dress is out of this world and wish I could get my hands on it.

This is a QandA in Mexico. She actually paired the jeans with black Vans..very cool and casual. Also her hair looks great pinned back rather than mullet/awkward growing out length style.

And lastly, stewy at a photocall. Love this dress. Have not yet identified it...so if you know it please let me know. Such a sophisticated look. Definitely a stretch from what she's normally photgraphed in.

Woo...that's a lot. And the LA premiere hasn't even happened yet nor have the NYC appearances. Oh and yep I heard there's some screenings going on in the city where the cast will attend. Hmmm.. ;)

Just bought these babies from Forever today. I'm not much of an earrings girl, well actually I usually never take out my studs but I've always loved the look of cool earrings. These look better in person because the color is more vintagey. The reason I got them is because I have my uncle's wedding coming up and am wearing a plain black dress and figured I'd switch up my look with some flashy earrings. You can't really go all out flashy with the outfit since the ceremony is taking place in a temple. I don't usually wear fake earrings because my ears get irritated that's why I stick to my gold setting diamond studs. Plus studs never go out of style. But I've been really loving the look lately with messy hair and big chain earrings. They're feminine yet still have that rockstar/biker chick edge which is absolutely me. The wedding's in two weeks (yea I have a countdown because we all should know by now that new moon will be released a day before the wedding..haha) and I will definitely post pictures. I'm hoping to meet some gorgeous single doctor at the wedding since all of my uncle's colleagues are doctors. Score! (hah just kidding..but wait kinda not kidding.)

Diggin' this pic. It's an ad for LnA on the one and only Singer. LnA definitely makes cool tee shirts and tries to stretch the basic tee idea. I'm such a tee girl. I live in leggings and tee shirts and when it's chilly just throw on a sweater. Good to go. Definitely a no fuss kinda girl. And seriously paired with those lace leggings, the outfit is so cool without really trying. Which is kind of my go to thing right now. I've been so busy with school slash the internship as well, I haven't really been focused on putting together outfits. I swear my life revolves around leggings and picking out a new sweater and just adding some boots and jewelry. Eh I'm really not complaining.

And I definitely cannot be complaing because woohoo Yankees won the World Series!!! Finally!! 27 baby. Huge Yankee fan here (obviously! I did dress up as one for halloween) so my house was basically filled with cheers once the 9th inning was dunzo. Officially finished my last test today so hopefully more blogging soon.
