♥ Fashionably Moi! ♥

Wearing: Floral Print Crochet Tank from Wet Seal; Forever 21 Moderate Stretch Skinny Jean in Dark Denim; Steve Madden Maryn Boot in Distressed Stone Leather (I bought these boots in all three colors – Distressed Stone Leather, Cognac, and Black during the Nordstrom Annual Sale – best purchases of my life…these boots are AMAZING!); Forever 21 Textured Bangle Set in Gold; Forever 21 Stone Center Ring in Brown/Gold.

Reading: The Vampire Diaries: The Awakening by L.J. Smith. Though I’m a bit late to join The Vampire Diaries bandwagon; I can honestly say that oui, it is my latest obsession. And just for the record, I am complètement Team Stefan. Also, I secretly want to be Elena.

Glamourizing: Nails: Orly’s Space Cadet from the Cosmic FX Collection. This is THE color for fall – sometimes it’s green, others it’s purple, or bronze, or orange…the chameleon-like ability of this lacquer is très inconceivable – yet utterly incroyable. Lips: mark Glow Baby Glow Luxe Hook Up Lip Gloss in Sun Luxe – my new can’t-leave-home-without – truly the perfectionner nude shade complete with a sassy subtle shimmer. J’adore! Eyes: CoverGirl LineExact Liquid Liner in Very Black. Amour! But make it available in a larger size, s'il vous plait!

Listening: As If by Blaque. Years ago I would fast-forward to the end of the movie Bring It On multiple times per day just so I could watch this music video. Even now I find it utterly irrésistible!

Adoring: Legwarmers a la the Ribbed Knit Leg Warmers I purchased from Sock Dreams. They are perfection layered over skinny jeans, or under knee-high riding boots. Jessica Stam, Izabel Goulart, and Arlenis Sosa for the Fall 2010 Express Ad Campaign – shot by Patrick Demarchelier. Girlfriends, glamour, and gorgeous clothes – honestly, what more could a girl possibly need? Forever 21’s Antique Pendant Necklace – the newest addition to my bauble collection. Aimer l'amour!

Watching: The Princess Diaries. Michael Moscovitz (aka Robert Schwartman of Rooney)…swoon times infinity!

Desiring: Plush Legwarmer Leggings. I rendezvous with these leggings during my slumber. A legging. A legwarmer. I have never before seen such a clever creation - incroyable! La Mer Collections’ Silver Motor Chain Watch – edgy, elegant, enchanting…hi, j’adore you! Velvetine Pete Hobo – be still my heart. Ooh, I can just see Serena van der Woodsen traipsing about the Upper East Side with this baby slung over her shoulder! Voulez, ayez besoin, l'amour!

Quoting: La Rochefoucauld - “A fashionable woman is always in love - with herself.”

Awaiting: Truck Jeans Gray Stretch Skinny Jean. Le wardrobe is dominated by dark wash skinnies; I thought a légèrement lighter hue would be beneficial. Therefore, I’m going gray, mon cheries - denim-wise, that is!

But enough about moi; let’s talk about…vous. Time to give me the lowdown on your life, lovers! What are you up to this week?


Fashionably yours!

  8. I'm off to a book event tonight at the university campus. It's a cool, damp fall day, so it'll be a great opportunity to break out the skinnies, boots and bomber, with just the right scarf, too :)

  11. I haven't read the books, but I watched a couple episodes of Vampire Diaries with a friend that is so into it that it's a little scary. I liked it, but felt like I didn't understand some things so she gave me season 1 to watch. This show is horrible, but adicting all the same. I can't wait til Thursday nights now.

  21. I so love Forever 21! Speaking of which of all vampires that Damien (Ian what's his face) makes a really sexy vampire on TV. But Stephan will always be true. That actor makes a hot Angel too. I saw him on Disney few years ago in some Angel mini-series.
