Working Girl

Do you remember how when you landed your first job, you rushed out to buy some stuffy, all-black business-type outfit, pulled your hair back into a sharp bun, and slipped your feet into scuffed loafers swiped from your mother’s closet? The end result was something between someone who possessed little to no fashion sense, and Super Nanny. Who says you have to wave goodbye to your fashionista side when you join the workforce? All you have to do is incorporate some chic bits and pieces into your wardrobe to keep your inner slave-to-fashion alive and kicking.

Over the years, I have seen people pull some of the ugliest business card holders from their pockets. Things that were worn-out, weather-beaten, and embarrassing to so much as look at, let alone own. This Couture Card Holder is nothing like that. The fuzzy leopard print, adorned with a black satin bow and silver heart charm make for a cute way for your wild child to stand out front and center. And, even more adorable? As opposed to your typical rectangular window, your cards can peek out at you through a clear heart-shaped pocket. What’s not to love about that?


Elle Woods is a huge fashion inspiration to me, which is why I instantly thought of her when I saw this pink L.A.P.A. Double Gusset Women’s Briefcase. It’s the perfect way to let your perky, vibrant side show through – even if you’re dressed in a tacky uniform.

Let’s face it, office supply stores are not very fashion-conscious, so their selection of day planners? Well, they’re usually lacking some…oomph. This IMAN Global Chic 2009 Jeweled Fashion Day Planner, however, manages to make up for that and then some. The gold color is perfect for those of us currently surfing the metallic craze; and the different sized topaz rhinestone jewels adorning the cover? To put it bluntly, they’re squeal-worthy!

How can you possibly be a proper working girl without a sophisticated watch wrapped around your wrist, making it simple for you to count down the minutes until you’re released from your daily prison? This Citizen Women’s Eco-Drive Silhouette Crystal Accented Gold-Tone Watch is elegant and beautiful. But the real kicker? It doesn’t run on batteries. Instead, it gets charged up via sunlight or with the assistance of a lamp.

Blair Waldorf may get away with wearing tights of any color – be it neon or neutral. Us working class individuals? Not so much. But, just because we’re relegated to donning flat, uninteresting colors doesn’t mean that we can’t, in the words of Emeril Lagasse, “kick it up a notch.” These Two Tone Diamond Crochet Tights are the perfect way to let your individuality stand out in the workplace, without breaking the rules.

Puppy Love

I was three-years-old the first time I asked for a dog. Here we are, over fifteen-years later, and do I have a pup of my own? No. I suppose that’s the consequence of being the proud parent of three very finicky yet lovable kitty cats. Still, having a rambunctious little puppy to curl up with at night would be my ultimate dream. But, since it’s not likely to happen anytime soon, I suppose I’ll have to settle for one of these Pet In A Basket necklaces from Shop Hullabaloo. Bear the beagle (the necklace pictured above) is my absolute favorite; closely followed by Cody (a little golden retriever), and the seven other canine selections (Max, Buddy, Jake, Rocky, Bailey, Buster, and Charlie). Each puppy rests in a basket that hangs from a 24” chain that adds enough childlike innocence to your wardrobe to make you howl in delight. I want all nine!

Shopping in the City

Have you ever found a painting that spoke to you from first sight, leading you to believe that you couldn't live without it? The other day while I was browsing through Target, I was plagued by such a feeling. Now, take into consideration the fact that I wasn't even looking for a piece of art; I just happened to stumble into the framed picture area, and, lo and behold....perfection. There, staring back at me, was Andrea Laliberte's London, a part of her Shopping in the City collection, which features other chic fashion meccas such as Rome, Paris, and New York. Let's just say I snatched up that painting without a moment's thought, and am now eagerly searching for the other three in the hopes of having the whole collection by the end of the month. Shopping in the City is a metropolitan-dwelling, shopaholic fashionista's dream; and Andrea Laliberte? Well, as the creator of such beauty, she is the queen, plain and simple.

Coffee and Gossip Magazines

Perhaps the only thing more decadent than great clothes is hot coffee and gossip magazines. Which is why Dsquared2's Fall 2009 Ready-to-Wear Collection has spoken to me like no other. Instead of sending their leggy models down the runway decked out only in the latest trends, they added an extra touch that managed to speak to the inner caffeine-addicted, celebrity-loving fashionista in everyone by slipping coffee cups and gossip magazines into their cocktail ring-encrusted hands. It's a pairing that no one in their right mind could ignore.

Green Scene

I've been the victim of one too many unexpected pinches over the years due to the fact that I typically forget St. Patrick's Day. Not this year! I refuse to suffer at the hands of those who have the good sense to remember the leprechaun-loving day just so they can wreak havoc upon those who have more important things on their mind. Thus, my selections for staying safe on St. Patrick's Day.

I typically opt for metallic-colored headbands when I make my selections for hair-adornments; but this Mini Crystal Centered Flower Headband from bebe is calling out to me. The color is reminiscent of fresh grown grass, and the little flower looks so much like a four-leaf clover that I can't help but think of finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow simply by wearing this lovely piece of hair perfection.

Shift dresses are, perhaps, the most adorable addition to the dress family. One, they are extremely versatile, looking perfect paired with tights, leggings, or bare legs; two, they possess such an effortless, playful look to their structure; and three, they seem to look good on every body type. So you can imagine my pleasure at spotting this Geren Ford Kelly Green Silk Rivet Detail Mini Dress. The color is breathtaking. The material is a dream. And the cut is spectacular. I'll take two please!

Big handbags are my favorite. I like knowing that I can toss anything from books to barrettes, and iPod's to eyeliner into their fashionable depths. But even I was enthralled at the discovery of this Roberto Cavalli Serpent Bracelet Clutch. The emerald color is to-die-for; but the thing that truly speaks to me is the fact that the typical cloth-created wristlet is replaced by a gold serpent-inspired cuff that doubles as an oh-so-chic bracelet.

Flouncy skirts make the heart grow fonder; and this kelly green Thick-Knit Jersey Skirt from American Apparel is no exception. The raw edges and elastic waistband make it a perfectly adorable and trendy way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon paired with a beat-up sweatshirt, or paint the town red by pairing it with a rhinestone-encrusted tank fit for a queen. And the best part? At just $19 each, it doesn't break the bank.



Skinny jeans are like a way of life. Without them, I don't know how anyone could survive. While I typically rock dark wash denim skinnies, I can't help but love these Kelly Green Super Skinny T-Jeans from Tripp NYC. The color is mind-blowingly spectacular, and would look amazing dressed up or dressed down with just about anything in your closet. All I can say is...gimme, gimme, gimme!

On the Road

Every time I’m about to get a break from school I come up with all sorts of elaborate ideas for how I will spend my homework-free days; but once the break finally arrives, I’m lucky if I can even find the strength or energy to get out of bed, let alone hit the road. Not to worry, these things have helped to keep my week fabulous and fresh from start to finish!

Adorable kits that make me want to learn how to sew.

A compact mirror that brings the Roaring Twenties to the depths of your handbag.

Reruns of the greatest reality show on earth.

Table dress forms perfect for hanging your most precious baubles from.

Self-serve yogurt shops that bring out the kid in me.

Mad Hatter inspired top hat headbands.

Mixing bowl sets that make it simple to add a dash of love to all of your meals.

Yummy bandages that are cute enough to eat, but perfect for healing wounds.

Night Owl

My love affair with owls began in August of 2006, when Paul & Joe released a Plaid Owl Bag as part of their GO! International Collection for Target. Here we are two-and-a-half years later, and I’m still infatuated with the nocturnal animals, and constantly looking to add bits and pieces of them into my everyday life – and wardrobe.

For over six months I have searched high and low for an owl pendant necklace that was equal parts wearable, adorable, and unique. Finally, my search has ended. The Kenneth Jay Lane Owl Necklace is the absolute perfect neck accessory. The owl pendant is 2-inches wide, and features white, gold, and red colors; but the best part is that there are little blue and green rhinestones that construct his eyes. Plus, the chain is 24-inches long which absolutely thrills me because…long necklaces are my favorite!

Finding the perfect purse is hard work. There are certain requirements that it has to fill before you truly decide to take the plunge and invest even the tiniest amount in. When it involves a purse adorned with pink beaded flowers, polka dots, and a wide-eyed owl, like this Darling Owl Purse, however, all requirements go out the window, and you simply shell out the cash. After all, how often do you find a purse as sweet and whimsical as this?

I’ve always been a stud person. Mainly because I fear that I’ll snag my earring on a sweater, and do some sort of irreparable damage to my earlobe. But even I can’t resist these Night Owl Earrings in Silver. The two-and-a-half-inch owl is undeniably cute, and sports black rhinestone eyes on a bed of silver that pop in the sunlight. What I adore is the fact that the owl comes in three pieces that are attached to one another via little clasps, so when you walk – or dance – the owl looks like he’s coming to life with every step you take.

I absolutely refuse to leave the house without some sort of headband or barrette peeking through my light brown hair; it’s just against my way of thinking. So you can just imagine the joy that overcame me when I spotted these Three Owls Hair Clips. The silver-toned bobby pin, adorned with the one-inch trio of antique-washed owls give your style a vintage, no-fuss look. These are the perfect find that I can’t help but hoot about!

As much as I love the chic look of black and white prints, sometimes a splash of color is a welcome treat, and Susie Ghahremani’s Organ Owls, is full of retro colors that can truly dress up a stark white wall. Ghahremani’s childlike hand is like a breath of fresh air – one that has captured my owl-loving heart, and a place on my bedroom wall.





Have you ever put something on your wish list and left it there untouched for months on end? Well, I’m currently guilty of such a crime. Wesley the Owl: The Remarkable Love Story of an Owl and His Girl by Stacey O’Brien has been sitting on my Amazon wish list since...November 11, 2008. Maybe, since I’m in a very bookish mood at the moment, now is the time to give it a whirl.

Luggage Lust

I haven’t been on a vacation since I was wearing overalls, and hobnobbing with Donald, Daisy, Mickey, Goofy, and just about any other Disney character you can imagine. So do you think it’s wrong that I am suffering from an incredible urge to spend countless amounts of cash on luggage that will, most likely, end up collecting dust in my on-the-verge-of-bursting closet? Neither do I. Luggage is an essential part of life. It’s a necessity. A must-have. A can’t-live-without. After all, what on earth would you do if you were suddenly offered the chance to indulge in a vacation of a lifetime, but you had a mere 60 minutes to not only pack, but catch a plane as well; and you were luggage-less? Me? I would curl up in a ball and die just thinking about such an amazing missed opportunity. Which is why I am preparing myself for future unexpected travel and fulfilling my luggage lust all at the same time via my new love: SteamLine Luggage.

Personally I see the name SteamLine Luggage as a tribute to one of the greatest love stories of all time – Titanic. Just looking at the vintage stylings of these romantically fashionable – and useful – items makes me think of the lovely Rose DeWitt Bukater, and the passion she felt for Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio’s character). They are old-fashioned and regal, and, the absolute kicker, available in six different collections that feature the most enchanting names – The Aviator Series, The Editor Series, The Ambassador Series, The Executive Series, The Explorer Series, and The Producer Series.

Each piece is more charming than the last, but my absolute favorite collection would have to be The Editor Series – and not just because the name brings to mind glossy magazines, football-field size fashion closets with tons of free goodies, and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days-like staff meetings. No, instead it is the color, the whimsy, the stowaway like styles that leave me breathless. From the enchanting pink handles and straps, to the classic cream canvas. These are the types of pieces that Daisy Buchanan would have been seen towing about as she boarded steamships and trains on her way to visit all sorts of exotic locales. The items that Becky Bloomwood blew all of her rent money on. The accessories that accompanied the classic film stars of the forties from set to set. These are also the things that will make me feel like a starlet myself as I cruise to paradise in a red hot roadster, scarf tied loosely about my head a la Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday. I realize that I've fallen victim to both greed and lust in this post; but when it involves luggage this irresistible, I simply can't help myself!

Jewelry Grows on Trees

How many times have you heard the saying “money doesn’t grow on trees?” Personally, I’ve lost count. Maybe money doesn’t grow on trees; but jewelry does. At least, it does now. I spend countless hours each week trying to untangle my long necklaces and bracelets. It’s similar to the amount of time spent unraveling Christmas lights around the holidays and often results in me leaving the house without my lovely accessories in tow; which is why I am saying goodbye to my jewelry box, and hello to a...jewelry tree. Jewelry trees are the perfect way to store your gems; and when they’re as cute as these, they make for a wonderful decorative touch as well!

Urban Outfitters is like the fashion version of a supportive friend who always lends a shoulder for you to lean on when you’re in need; and this Little Birch Jewelry Stand, $24, proves it. The colors of the coated aluminum branches are reminiscent of the great outdoors, while the velvet-lined base is nothing short of a Tiffany’s display case. Adorned with your most treasured accessories, this little tree will be transformed into a majestic sight that is both handy and handsome!

It may not look like a tree found in your backyard, but the Umbra Bijou Chrome Jewelry Tree, $19..99, is kind of...well, amazing. The twelve arms are of varying heights which make it perfect for accommodating even your longest baubles, and the little bottom tray (which doubles as the supportive stand for the entire contraption) is a simple place to store everything from rings to studs. Plus, if you weren’t already smitten enough, the color and design is, literally, fit for a queen.

It seems like wealthy people always have tiered sterling silver holders sitting front and center in their living rooms that are constantly stocked with lavish desserts – from petit fours to fresh fudge. I have always wanted one for myself, but never really saw any use for it – until now. This Vintage Iron Jewelry Holder, $49, is a charming – and useful – alternative. Featuring three levels (that rotate!), as well as stylish scalloped edges (which are pierced to accommodate your dangly earrings), this is one jewelry tree that you simply cannot live without!

After being away from stores for a few days, the mere sight of a clothes rack often sends me into a tizzy; so you can only imagine the buzz that went through me when I spotted this Solid Stainless Steel Jewelry Tree and Earring Tree, $44.95. The six arms remind me of the clothing racks that adorn my favorite boutiques, and provide enough storage space to accommodate even my large jewelry collection. The oval mahogany base only thrills me even more, as it provides such an elegant touch to the piece that I simply cannot resist.

Where do you store your jewelry?

Bead Me Up Scotty!

Every time I say that I won't buy anymore shoes, a new pair surfaces and captures my heart. This weeks footwear du jour? Forever 21's Hailey Moc Boot. These sassy Southwest treasures embody everything that I look for in a boot: fringes, moccasin-like stitching, and, my personal favorite...beads! I don't know how I ever went through life without a pair of shoes that were adorned with beads, but now that I've spotted these, I just know that another day cannot pass me by without adding them to my ever-growing shoe collection. These will look so boho-glamorous when paired with my dark wash mini during the spring; my pink polka-dotted bikini in the summer; my white skinnies during the fall; my little black dress in the winter. I can already picture the possibilities perfectly; but even more enticing is the fact that, in my head, I can hear the sound of the beads clacking together as I strut my stuff. Bead me up Scotty!

Smooth Sailing

I was on a ship once when I was five-years-old as part of a whale-watching excursion that included my entire first grade class. I spent the whole day seasick. I haven’t been on a boat since, but I am more than willing to take the plunge if it involves wearing this fabulous ensemble from Stella McCartney. The cream-colored anchor-adorned sweater is such a perfect way to hop on the nautical theme bandwagon. Paired with the navy blue sailboat skirt (dotted with little seagulls!), I can’t picture a more fitting getup for a day spent on the high seas. Just looking at this outfit conjures up visions of hundred-foot yachts, mingling with dapper millionaires draped in decadent jewels, and remote islands covered in white sand. I may be spending Spring Break sitting behind a desk; but a girl can dream, can’t she?

What are your Spring Break plans?

Desperately Seeking Nadia

When I was seven-years-old I received a set of nesting dolls for my birthday from a family friend that I thought were the most wonderful treasure. Their colors were bright, and the fact that each one opened up to reveal an identical counterpart - only smaller than the last - made me feel as if I had been given numerous gifts in one. When we moved, I misplaced my nesting dolls, and have yet to find them; I have, however, found something just as good...little Nadia. Nadia is a tiny nesting doll that is more useful than the rest because she holds the power to transform your entire outfit by hanging front and center from your neck via an eighteen-inch gold toned chain attached to a vintage-inspired, gold-trimmed, flower-adorned piece of enameled metal. Everything about this Naughty Secretary Club creation is perfect - from Nadia's little eyelashes and heart-shaped mouth, to the perky flowers dotting her wooden body. This is the doll I have been searching for all of my life - adorable, quirky, and small enough to fit in my pocket; I think I'm in love!

Floppy and Fabulous

I honestly don’t know how Brigitte Bardot managed to find such fantastic floppy hats, because on my quest to locate just one, I have come across nothing but overbearing headwear that virtually eats your head alive, or flops into your eyes, making you unable to see anything within a five-inch radius. It’s a frustrating predicament that leads me to believe that locating the perfect floppy hat is akin to finding a needle in a haystack. Virtually impossible. But, alas, perhaps I’m wrong. After a few rushed lunch hour internet searches I have managed to locate not one, not two, but five floppy hats filled with fashionable possibilities. Now the only issue standing in the way of me and floppy fabulosity is deciding which one will make the cut...here are the contenders.

When searching for clothing and accessories, American Apparel has never ranked very high on my "check it out" list. In fact, at times I have a tendency to completely forget to check their site for new products. The moment I spotted their Wool Floppy Hat, $40, however, all that changed. Light grey, luggage brown, black...the colors alone are perfect, but the shape, paired with just the right amount of floppy glamour makes it pure perfection. I can't help but feel that donning this gem would make me feel like an old-time movie star, or a chic French fashionista.

Bows are my weakness. They're adorable yet possess such a high-fashion sense of glamour that is, in my opinion, utterly irresistible. Which is why my jaw literally hit the floor when I discovered this Juicy Couture Women's Wool Felt Floppy Hat, $59.50. This is one of those fabulous finds that impulse buys are made of.

Straw hats seem like the headwear of choice when spending a day at the beach. They're lightweight, match just about any outfit (or bathing suit), and are inexpensive. That said, as much as I love a day spent by the seashore, walking along the boardwalk in a swingy sundress with espadrilles strapped upon my feet, I have never been able to find the beauty in straw hats. Until now. Through their Topstitch Grosgrain Floppy Hat, $10.80, Forever 21 has revived the oftentimes blase straw hat by weaving a grosgrain ribbon through the stitching that gives it a more youthful vibe that is both trendy and fun. With this adorable detailing, I can honestly say that straw hats will never be the same again!

I'm not sure whether it's the kitschy colors or the scalloped trim, but this Billabong Current Hat, $14.99, makes me want to step into a pair of bellbottoms, slip on some wedge platforms, and toss up a peace sign. It's the perfect way to celebrate the seventies, and channel your inner Woodstock-attending, VW van-driving, flower-loving hippie.

I am slowly realizing that colors such as cranberry, raspberry, and maroon have almost the same neutral-appeal as black, gray, and white. Which is possibly why I'm in love with this Glamorous Burgundy Wide Brim Diva Style Floppy Hat, $15.99. The color is reminiscent of red wine, and would look absolutely heavenly paired with a simple black turtleneck and dark wash skinny jeans. This would make for an intoxicating addition to any fashionista's hat collection!


So...what's your take on floppy hats - yay or neigh?

Wheel of Shoes

If you're like me, you can hardly open your cloest without hundreds of shoes hurtling out at you at the speed of light. Shoes that, depending on their weight, and the size of the heels they possess, could, potentially, impale you. Or at least do some serious bodily harm. Which is why the discovery of the shoe wheel by Rakku Designs has made me absolutely, positively giddy. Available in four fabulous colors (I'll take the pink!), the shoe wheel is the answer to our closet space (or lack thereof) woes. It's like a closet-sized game of Wheel of Fortune with your favorite pair of shoes as the prize!

Going Retro

I’ve never in my life been interested in kitchenware. In fact, I’m much more likely to use disposable plates just so I can avoid doing dishes. But I’ve had a change of heart. Thanks to Orla Kiely’s retro-inspired line of kitchen and dining room essentials for Target I’ve come to the conclusion that it may be time to say goodbye to disposables and hello to the real thing.





Just one glance is all it took for me to realize that I don't just want the dinner plates. I want the tumblers, the serving trays, the storage crates, the placemats, the mugs, the seat cushions, the napkins, and, first and foremost, the aprons! As you can see, I want it all. I guess I'm in the midst of a June Cleaver moment - and I'm loving every second of it!

Bon Voyage!

Au revoir kittens, I’m on my way out the door for a vacation that dreams are made of. Each day I’ll be adorned in huge, face-framing sunglasses. The cool breeze will be fanning my hair. My hands will be occupied nonstop with fruity drinks dotted with colorful umbrellas. And, best of all, there will be shopping galore. Okay, so I’m not really gearing up for a vacation; but I should be. It seems like everyone has fabulous Spring Break plans. Everyone but me, that is. But this Kate Spade Au Revoir Griffen Tote may just have the power to change that. The whimsical windsurfers, the perfect palm trees, the sophisticated sunbathers, and even the wondrous nautical colors are enough to make me feel as if I’m aboard a cruise ship, or sitting upon a secluded beach, even if I’m just channel surfing on my living room couch. Yes, I may be sticking close to home for Spring Break, but with this little piece of splendor by my side I can’t help but feel like the world’s luckiest girl!

Virtual Clutch

As a fashion blogger what two things are you incapable of living without? For me, it’s a laptop and a chic clutch. Why? Well, for one, without a laptop I would be virtually (no pun intended) lost; and two, what girl wants to go through life without a fabulous clutch taking up space in her closet? So of course I’ve gone completely gaga over this Vivienne Tam Special Edition Mini 1000 Digital Clutch. At just 10-inches and 2.45 pounds, this is the crème de la crème of clutches. The best thing? It’s pink! And red! With flowers! And...there’s a matching scarf and tote! What more could a fashion-obsessed girl ask for?

Lamptastic!

I’m on a mission. To find the perfect lamp, that is. My one requirement? It can’t be stuffy. I want something fun, carefree, kitschy, cute, creative. I want a conversation piece. I want...one – or all – of these fantastic light sources.

Have you ever been to Sweet Factory? That self-serve candy store in malls that gives you the freedom to fill up on as much candy as you want, only to leave you in a state of shock when they weigh your sweets on that telltale scale that always lights up with an outrageous total? I used to spend every weekend at that store, loading up on chocolate covered gummi bears that I devoured with wild abandonment. While I haven’t been to Sweet Factory in years, I have found a new way to fulfill my love of gummi bears via JELLIO’s GummiLights. Erin from MTV’s The City turned me on to these beauties, and I simply can’t get them out of my head. I realize that they’re $125 each, but, price aside, I’ve come to the conclusion that I need them in all eight colors!

I’m currently battling a love for robots. I think it has to do with the adorable factor of the Pixar film Wall-E; because the moment I spotted this Robot Lamp Base from Urban Outfitters, Wall-E was the first thing that came to mind. The happy go lucky expression upon the robot's face, paired with the shiny metallic silver is enough to make me want to get up and dance (the Robot perhaps?).


I’ve always found ice cream shops to be one of the most charming places to spend the day. The smell of vanilla, the cute décor, the rainbow-colored sprinkles – it’s like a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-inspired dream come true. Which is why I believe that this Ice Cream Lamp from Fred Flare – standing just over two-feet high – would be the most delectable addition to any room. The swirls, the life-like diamond-shaped cutouts on the cone...correct me if I’m wrong, but waking up to this little slice of heaven would be like a day at the fair!

Chandeliers are always such an elegant, sophisticated way to add personality to a room; yet they often appear somewhat cumbersome. Luckily, this Spectrum Chandelier from Urban Outfitters seems anything but. It appears lightweight, lovely, and full of life; and the dangling rainbow-colored charms? Well, okay, I’ll admit it...they bring about flashbacks of my childhood heroine Rainbow Brite. Plus, they’re fancy, fun, and flashy – just what the doctor ordered!

If you were only able to buy one, which would you invest in?


Fashionably yours!
