♥…buy a pretty basket, top your luscious locks with Melissa Odabash’s Cowboy Hat, and spend the afternoon picking daisies? Weave them into a chain, place it upon your head, and transform yourself into a princess – even if just for a few hours! ♥…spritz a piece of pretty stationary with your signature scent (I favor Elizabeth Taylor’s White Diamonds myself) and write an anonymous love letter to a cute boy?
♥…treat yourself to a fancy dinner at a location where celebrities go to be and be seen? Despite the evening twilight, perch a pair of dark sunglasses, like those by Carrera, atop the bridge of your perky nose to channel your inner Hollywood starlet. You may just end up on the cover of Page Six!
♥…splurge on a pair of lush sleepwear like Eberjey's Peaceful Warrior Cami and Pant Set? Couple it with satin mules to add a touch of Old Hollywood elegance to your look, and spend the day lounging.
♥…bid adieu to subtle makeup and go downright dramatic during the daylight hours? Play the role of l’artiste and paint your lips hot pink with mark’s Glow Baby Glow Hook Up Lip Gloss in Blow Kisses; wing your liquid liner for the ultimate cat eye; peruse bright, playful colors that add depth and volume to your look du jour. Be bold! Be outrageous! Be a star!
Fashionably yours!

I love these posts the most! I am going to try the dark sunglasses during the day look that you suggest. I like doing that look in airports. You also find the best photos Erika! xo

I love these lil "Why don't you" posts. I used to make daisy hair wreaths all the time. One of the reasons why I can't wait for spring. There is a restaurant by me that Rosie O'donnell goes to & Bill Murray. Hmmm maybe I'll take a step in there. =) Thanks for the ideas!!
sound good!
Erika I love these posts soo much! You are creative :)
I love the daisy one, sounds soooo sweet. I have never checked out "white diamonds" I think I really need to now :)
Yey! Another Why Don't You post! I'm going to use the sunglasses tactic on the next possible opportunity ... love you, Erika!
LOVE THE PHOTO DOLL! Great suggestions! I'm too much of a chicken to go out to dinner by myself hahaha. The other day I tried to go to a Chinese rest. alone and walked in and opted for take out haahahahahaah.

loving the dramatic day makeup idea xo
You are awesome!! Love the post
I like the sunglasses idea. It can be lots of fun, leaving them wondering just who that is behind those Carerras!
oh love your new layout darling! thank you for all your great suggestions! xo
Your posts always inspire me to "try something new" and they are always so luxurious - which I love. Thanks for your nice comment on my blog - you are too sweet. (-:

I really like when people are expressing their opinion and thought. So I like the way you are writing
I needed this post.
Thanx!
I like the new face of your blog.
I love these Wednesday posts.
Perfect ways to indulge! I like :)
I love the idea of playing with dramatic makeup for daytime. Especially considering it's something that not a whole lot of people do. Plus, I'm pretty sure I need that mark lip gloss!
Loving the pj set! Looks so comfy and not frumpy.
I love to write an anonymous love letter to a cute boy. Hahaha!
Happy Wednesday Erika! xoxo
seriously would like to take you up on your ideas erica! everytime...
Talking about diamonds... Yesterday I found a perfume that had little tiny pieces of gold on it. It cost like $280!! Gold in a perfume?

I would love to partake in some of these indulgences! Dining in a fab restaurant with large sunglasses is my pick! xoxo Jolie
great post!! gorgeous pic. :)
i am so excited you sand skate too. hehe
xoxo
I really like the idea of spritzing stationary with perfume, and I love white diamonds too!
Gorgeous photo! And these posts make me smile and actually want to do them. I don't just leave dramatic make up for night time! There's no fun in that!

Lovely post! I'd love to do the first, but unfortunately it's still freezing over here...
And gorgeous new blog layout by the way!
Luxury sleepwear is so decadent - I love silk PJs and fluffy slippers! That one is going on my list. :)
Ah, time for your Why Don't You post - the highlight of my Cafe Fashionista week! I love the idea of getting a basket. I think I might just go and get one now :)
Lovely photo. Great post.
I may just do some of these ;)
I love all your suggestions!! My favorite this week is the dinner at a celeb hotspot! Actually, there's a lot of places in NYC that are not necessarily "fancy", but definitely celeb-sighting worthy!
love it you make me want todo all those things =)
I love the picture you chose! Making a daisy chain seems like so much fun. Definitely something I want to do when the daisies start coming out.
Loving that photo! I love the idea of pretending to be a celeb! Wouldn't it be beyond cool if it worked??? I would die!
i often pretend to be a star :). I hope this dream will come true someday hahaha:).
aw I want to pick daisies..how fun!
Love your new layout! xox
Very inspiring!
xx
These are great! ;)
I'm glad you like my piano post! Thanks for your sweet comment.
Lots of love!

I try, I try - but the daisies are not here yet. But to everything else - Let's go for it! Let's be stars!
lip gloss always makes the day better. Oh..and white diamonds..something I was gonna get my gram..and then I ended up lik'n it...so much.
Thanks for note too.
Oh this reminds me of when I was in HS with my first serious BF and I would mail him letters (he lived about an hour away) since we only saw each other a couple of times a week and I would spray them with my perfume (Escape if I remember correctly). Used to drive him crazy. In a good way.
Happy mid-week, hon!
I look forward to these posts. You always have the best suggestions!
I love liquid eyeliner in cat eye formation! Especially when its metallic teal! Its awesome.
i positively love your "why don't you" posts!!
i always wanted to be the glamour puss who at 10am getting coffee is dressed to the nines and full face makeup
I love the sunglasses idea and the letter! too adorable :)
love this post. also-- the cardigan in the below post is absolutely pretty!

I love white diamonds! I rarely know other girls around my age who wears it haha
I love white diamonds! I dont know another girl who is close to my age that likes it haha
handwritten letters are totally underrated - and best when they're love letters! i'm also a huge fan of dramatic makeup during the day (or really time anyway). lovely ideas as always :)
What a sweet list!
I really like wearing fun makeup during the day instead of saving it for night all the time.

Awww I love the idea of a daisy chain! I used to do that when I was little :)
Ooh dramatic looks during the day - why not?
Aaww, any cute boys good enough for your letters?
Great new layout! So fab...like you!
Hmm letters. Gotta practice first though. My hand gets cramps after writing for even just a minute. Typical lament of an everyday keyboard user :D
I love your Why Don't You posts <3 You have the best imagination!
You've inspired me to go put on some hot pink lippy :)
Also, LOVE your new look and layout! Very cute and fun.
<3 xxx
Love it. The photo of the ultra chic "satin mules" is hysterical. What a beautiful and inspiring post.
ps: thanks for your sweet comment on my red boots. a
Girl, how do you manage to come up with such great ideas day after day? My mind is boggled!
Hi! Good photo! Beautiful!
This post reminds of wanting to eat at the IVY in L.A. just for celebrity watching. I will have to remember to put it on my agenda the next time I'm in L.A.
I need to go on a daisy picking afternoon:)
Oh Erika, I like the last 3 ideas the best! How fun and fantastic, as are you!!

Wonderful ideas, darling! I envy your imagination and creativity!
I may have to go with the over the top make up for the day!
I just did number 4 the other day: I skipped my usual lipgloss and instead went for red lips. I felt so vintage beauty :-)
Love this post. Such fun ideas, and it's totally time to break the regular routine.
