Blaze Daze

Don’t worry mas petites, I’m not bewildered and confused; nor am I in some shopping-induced stupor. Rather, I’m simply dazed over the decadence of blazers. Once thought of as a staple for the businesswoman’s wardrobe; it’s a piece that has made its way out of the boardroom and into the depths of bohemian society and the club-hopping, cocktail drinking social scene alike. It’s a wear-with-anything bit of beauty dripping with sophisticated effervescence and class. And yes, it can’t wait to meet you.

Urban Outfitters "Lux Little Brother Blazer" I’ve always wanted a big brother. Perhaps more for the chance to flirt with his cute friends, than to use as a confidante of sorts; but, nonetheless, it was not meant to be. Now I realize that I simply should have aimed for a little brother; for if this Lux Little Brother Blazer is any indication, he would have been the perfect clothes-swapping ally for all of my fashion desires. A shrunken, cropped fit makes it look as if you’ve swiped this straight out of your little bro’s closet; yet the feminine, black tie affair details – including a back hem slit, a one button placket, and three button cuffs – provide a glamorous girly edge to this black bombshell. Looking for a way to dress up your distressed acid-wash jeans? You’ve just found it.

Free People "Studded Stripe Blazer" No, I am not a wannabe member of Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club, I simply can’t resist a good studding every now and then, and this ivory Studded Stripe Blazer is decked out in them. Unlike the typical blazer, you will not find a notched collar, or button down front here; in their place there are round metal studs, a standing collar, and an open front, embellishments that add a sense of rock ‘n’ roll to a piece of clothing that is oftentimes regarded as stuffy and boring. This is a blazer that would work wonders when topping a plain white tee and mini; or accessorized with long metal chains, and dazzling cocktail rings. An added bonus? The striped wool makes it feel more like a comfy cardigan than a baggy blazer. Oui, this beauty possesses all the creaminess of vanilla ice cream, topped with the sultriness of whipped cream and a bright red cherry.

Victoria's Secret "Boyfriend Blazer" I long for the day when a handsome boy invites me to a swank cocktail party. He’ll be wearing a dark-hued blazer over a crisp, white button down; I’ll be dressed to the nines in an elegant, sleeveless cocktail dress, my hair pulled into a sassy updo. We’ll make our way out to the balcony (there’s always a balcony, isn’t there?) where the brisk air will leave goosebumps upon my arms. He’ll remove his jacket, and place it about my shoulders, and...we’ll live happily ever after. Sure, it hasn’t been left upon my arms by a handsome fellow, but this Boyfriend Blazer is most definitely the material morsel of my fantasy. The loose fit would look lovely when placed about a teeny tiny cocktail dress, or simply dancing atop a pair of denim; while the front flap pockets seemingly call out to be filled with silk cocktail napkins, or a flirty pair of dark aviators. Due to the fact that I’m single at the moment, I think it only proper that this blazer represent my beau for the time being!

Pins and Needles "Patchwork Blazer" Sticks and stones may break my bones, but Pins and Needles? Well, they’ll simply dress me in all sorts of fabulousness via their versatile Patchwork Blazer. A coat of many colors has been completely updated to take on a more hip, youthful vibe by giving it a slim cut, adding multiple front pockets, and garnishing it with an array of wild shades tossed together haphazardly to make it an item that you’ll wear over and over again thanks to its multifaceted nature. This is just chaotic enough to thrill the oftentimes vicious Blair Waldorf, known for her kooky color combinations; yet tame enough to become fundamental in your vintage-craving closet.

Alice + Olivia "Cotton Sateen Rolled Sleeve Blazer" love a layered look. A layered look that lets a little dash of color peek out from underneath to tease and tantalize the world. A hidden style that lurks underneath the top coat, hiding from the outside. Thus, the Cotton Sateen Rolled Sleeve Blazer has become quite the object of my affection. It may look like a simple black blazer, woven with a two-button closure for those times when it gets a little nippy; a notched collar sitting about the neck, pockets sitting squarely atop the hip, and above the chest. But no, this seemingly little black blazer has a little secret in the form of contrasting white cuffs that adorn the sleeves, fooling the world into believing that you’re wearing a white top underneath, when really it’s simply a trick of the eye, a sleight of hand, so to speak. One that adds a little volume and sass to an otherwise plain LBJ. Roll one my way, s’il vous plait!

Have you found yourself in a blaze daze yet, darlings?


Fashionably yours!

Back Talk

It’s easy to flaunt it all. To wear barely there clothing or teeny tiny bikinis that make jaws drop. The real way to be seductive however, ladies, is to be secretive about your motives. To be sassy and alluring without letting on that you’re searching for a reaction. To be effortlessly scandalous; yet still receive a silent answer from your admirers without a hitch. The key lies in effervescence. In being bubbly and frothy; in sparkling like a $50 dollar bottle of water picked up at a chichi paparazzi-hounded restaurant. In letting a little skin peek through via a sassy off-the-shoulder top; or, even more enticing, a little back talk in the form of Nightcap Clothing’s Drop Back Top, from the place I love to shop until I drop – Shopbop coupons.

From the front, you would never imagine that the loose-fitting Drop Back Top was anything other than a haute hippie little number that would look simply ravishing combined with motorcycle boots and a pair of frayed denim cutoffs – perhaps with a boyfriend jean fit and acid wash shading. But turn around, and darling, the world stops and gazes in amazement. Oui, the top that looked slouchy and sophisticated from one angle is actually in possession of a multifaceted, Jekyll and Hyde-like personality.

In the same fashion as the mullet, this is a top that embraces the term “business in the front, party in the back,” for the slub jersey with the saucy scoop, drops low in the back, and is adorned with a dainty little drawstring that seemingly ties the entire laid-back look into a pretty petite package to perfect to pass up.

Angelic in the white; smart in the silver; posh in the black. Forget the pricetag, loves, it’s a prim and proper piece with a healthy dose of brazenness that would work wonders in your wardrobe.

Besides, who can resist a little back talk every now and then?


Fashionably yours!

Pretty in Prep

The first fifteen-years of my life revolved around prep schools. No, I didn’t actually attend one myself; I was simply obsessed with the uniforms. Call it the Rory Gilmore Syndrome. I believed that the uniforms donned by precocious private school students were hands down the most divine bit of fashion to ever grace the earth, and actually shopped around for items that resembled such style for my own everyday use. Sure, I’ve since come around, and realized that dressing like a schoolgirl isn’t the greatest way to spend your growing years; but I haven’t yet trained myself to ignore the deep, vibrant maroon, navy, teal, and berry colors associated with the haute hallowed halls. And now, Kooba has made it so that I don’t have to, thanks to the release of their NYC Prep inspired quartet of exclusive handbags that make it possible for anyone to join the jet set – at least in terms of accessories!

Jessie Bag In one of the very first episodes of Gossip Girl I fell in love with a gorgeous floppy hat perched upon Serena’s head that was a mix of red wine, maroon, eggplant, and plum colors. It was such a standout accessory that I have never forgotten it. Thus, when I laid eyes on the aubergine-toned Jessie Bag, I couldn’t help but dream of it once more; and covet its look-alike tote. The sassy suede is decked out in gold buckled hardware, and fully lined with a sensational, shimmery satin which makes this bucket bag take on an even more elegant appearance – both inside and out. Just like Jessie, in fact; the character she was specifically created for, whose dedication to throwing decadent parties to show off her designer duds, or raise money for good causes such as Operation Smile work to display a mix of beauty via outwards appearances, and good-nature from within. My fall/autumn wardrobe? If you must know, it’s simply desperate to be accessorized with this beauty.

Camille Bag Camille and her drama-filled, boy-loving, college-obsessing, lacrosse-playing, fast-talking, SAT-taking ways are the Upper West Side ’s answer to the snarky yet sensational Blair Waldorf; and this Camille Bag, what with its gold-toned bar detail, luxurious navy leather color, and hobo-influenced one shoulder strap is the answer to all of your handbag issues. The slight gathered bow-like appearance in the front adds an extra oomph of volume to the shape, making it a bit pear-like in appearance; while the many pockets hiding out inside make it functional, in addition to being flashy and fabulous, of course! When you’re headed off to an interview, it makes you look professional and classy; but for those nights when you’re looking to let off a little steam at nightclubs (an activity that Camille partakes in quite often), it proves to be a low-key yet luscious way to tote your essentials from here to there. It’s a naughty slice of navy that’s so very, very nice!

Taylor Bag Darlings, you know just as well as I do that finding an appropriate bag that can work wonders with a cocktail dress or a pair of frayed denim jeans is quite a tough predicament. Taylor is an expert on the subject. After all, she’s a student at a public, fast-paced magnet school, but the Upper West Side precious has no qualms about partying with the Upper East Side pals she’s managed to become one with. Hence, a bag that works in any social situation or with any set is a must. Not just for her, of course; but for the rest of us, as well! Luckily, the Taylor Bag exudes this ability. The teal leather tote sporting a double shoulder strap comes across as subdued, but once you lay eyes on the gold studding and hardware, in addition to the bronze-hued satin lining, it’s quite obvious that yes, this is a gilded gift for purse-loving fashionistas to shield and protect from the dirt and grime of the outside world forever and ever. Which, oddly enough, is the same impression that came to mind when I was first introduced to Taylor – on the small screen, that is.

Kelli Bag A bold, vibrant berry color looks lovely when seen on the shores of the Hamptons , or when flitting along Park Avenue . It’s also a showstopping shade that draws all eyes to you without a moment’s hesitation. Perhaps that’s why the Kelli Bag was made with the independent, aspiring songstress Kelli in mind. The berry leather bag, like Kelli, is anything but ordinary. The unique shape puts it in a class of its own thanks to the grainy, almost snakeskin-like body, which is reminiscent of the lush chairs found within the privileged offices of prominent doctors and lawyers alike; while the gold accents bring about a lavish splash of class that will make your jaw drop (exactly the reaction I myself had when I saw the inside of Kelli’s Hamptons hideaway). It’s impossible not to feel starstruck when gazing upon this beauty!

Which prep do you want; or should I say, which prep do you want to be?

Smitten Saturday

♥Beau-ed Over In preparation for Anna Sui’s Gossip Girl-inspired arrival at Target, I have begun the hunt for magical hair accessories to truly bring out the oftentimes beastly Blair that lies deep within me. Adornments that will add a fierce pizzazz to the flirty, vintage-like frocks that have the designer’s name written all over them; and now, I have found many that perfectly fit the bill from my new favorite shop – Andrea’s Beau. The Dupioni Silk Bow Headband in slate blue would look simply lovely paired with this white wonder. The Velvet Open Rose Adjustable Headband in wine would add such a wonderful pop of crimson against this all-black beauty. And there’s simply no question in my mind that the Floral Paillette Adjustable Soft Headband in pumpkin would add an extra kick of sass to this spicy number. Oui, I’m undoubtedly beau-ed over!

♥Park It! I suppose I’ve known you all long enough to make you privy to a little tidbit that not many close to me are aware of. Online shopping? Well, to put it bluntly, it’s quite an obsession of mine. Yet even I, a skilled Online shopper find that locating the perfect piece to fit the picture in your mind can be downright drudgery at times; which is why I’ve become quite reliant on 25Park. Namely, their quintessential Quick Guides, which literally point you in the right fashion direction depending on the type of event, or style you’re shopping for. Sixteen different categories – The Lady Who Lunches, Sexy Attire, The Working Woman, Boho Chic, The Pregnant Girl, Great Gift Item, Formal Attire, Bang For Buck, Bridal/Baby Shower, Cocktail Attire, Rehearsal Dinner, Beach Attire, Press Clippings, Warm Weather, Great Holiday Attire, Ski Bunny – cover every fashion predicament you may find yourself in, and give you the ability to make finding what you’re searching for an absolute cinch. If you must know, I’m off to visit them right now. What am I looking for today? Hmmm...perhaps some Cocktail Attire.

♥A Rush of Beauty to the Lips You will never find me out and about with anything less than six – count that, six – tubes of lip gloss taking up residence in my handbag. No, I don’t keep them on hand for those moments infiltrated with stolen kisses from the bevy of cute boys who come in and out of my life; I’m simply addicted, and can’t be without the fruity-tasting shine sticks. Hence, due to my years of devotion to lip gloss, I count myself as an expert on the subject of all things glossy, and proclaim here that the greatest gloss on the planet? Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush. In less than a year I’ve used Mango Madness, Bubble It Up, Grapefruit Blast, and Strawberry Fizz, four flavors that were glorious to the very last drop. High, long-lasting shine; yummy, scrummy flavors. Darlings, it’s a rush of beauty to the lips!
♥Miss Marc Roald Dahl’s Matilda one of my favorite books since the first time I read it back in the first grade. In my mind, I was Matilda, sans the nasty, uncaring parents. I even purchased a doll that was the spitting image of the patchwork toy Matilda lugged around with her; a doll whom is sitting in the garage right now, and who looks quite a bit like the kitschy, bug-eyed, raven-haired Miss Marc thought up by the marvelous Marc Jacobs. A discovery, of course, which leads me to believe that my newfound obsession with the Miss Marc in question has quite a bit to do with my devotion to the fiction of my childhood. L'un numéroter on my Miss Marc lust list? The Miss Marc Ballet Flats. Next in line is the Miss Marc Tote with Beach Accessories. And, not to be forgotten, the Little Miss Marc Cover-Up because a day at the beach surely isn’t complete without a little company from Miss Marc. Not to mention that the peachy color, back keyhole, and tres chic gathers simply make me giddy. Have you met Miss Marc?

♥Baby Love I have just come to a very important realization. While babies are tres adorable and fun to play with; I’m beginning to think that one of the underlying reasons for people to want to have babies has quite a bit to do with the perfectly charming favors they can hand out at their baby showers! Regardless of the fact that I’m not attending a baby shower myself, nor am I having a baby of my own, I happened to be browsing Baby Shower Favors the other day and...well, I’m sorry to admit, I found many things that I desperately want. The Two Peas in a Pod Candle is just about the sweetest thing I have ever laid eyes on, and brings back memories of my childhood love for Cabbage Patch Kids dolls – one of which is still sitting in my bedroom. The Classic Pram Favor Boxes with Unique Expandable Bonnets are reminiscent of the carriages seen being pushed up and down Park Avenue by posh society ladies, and would look rather divine decorating a glossy bureau – or even my desk at work! The Magic Slippers Shoe Bottle Opener are a well-heeled treat for the shoe obsessed, and a necessity for the kitchen. And the Enchanted Carriage Favor Boxes? If I must confess...they make me feel like Cinderella. I wonder if someone would think me strange if I threw a Baby Shower with no guest-of-honor to be spoken of; just for the fun of it, and the opportunity to buy some of these Baby Shower Favors!

♥A O-K Pop Over the past three years that I have been visiting the deliciously wicked Perez Hilton, I have become well-aware of one very important thing...Perezzie? Well, he has the most divine taste in music, always managing to discover new talents before they have actually been discovered. His current musical crush du jour? South Korea’s K-pop girl group Wonder Girls. They’re supremely cute, with fun retro-inspired fashions and hairstyles. If their debut U.S. single Nobody is any indication, they’re amazingly talented. And, obviously, they’re destined for stardom in the States. Love them!


What were you smitten with this week?

La Femme Mystérieuse

Oh darlings, I tried, I certainly tried, but it was difficult…scratch that, impossible for me to resist this new piece of headwear. I’ve already admitted that, as someone who has bangs, it’s not a good idea to smother them with a well-placed hat. It’s better to simply adorn my head with bands of poppy colors and sizes. But alas, I couldn’t turn away from this Kimchi Blue Straw Ribbon Floppy from UO.

Ever since I met the precocious, Plaza-dwelling Eloise, I have found myself obsessed with going incognito. With keeping to myself, and staying a mystery to random passersby. To ooze affluence and sophistication, yet remain completely anonymous to anyone on the outskirts of my inner circle. The Kimchi Blue Straw Ribbon Floppy makes all this and more possible.

The natural-colored woven beauty is dressed up with a skinny black grosgrain ribbon, and emphasizes a very day-at-the-Derby type of elegance what with its down-turned brim, and ability to be shaped and molded to your hearts desire. Whereas the American Apparel Wool Floppy Hat seems more fitting for the cooler fall and winter months; this particular piece seems more appropriately outfitted for the warmer spring and summer months when it can be paired with flirty sundresses, ankle-tied espadrilles, colorful tanks, and patterned bikinis.

Now is the time to do it loves. Toss aside your oversized sunglasses, plop this slice of sublimity atop your head, and unleash your inner femme mystérieuse!

Beachy Keen

While my Balenciaga look-alike is more synonymous with a best friend whom I can’t separate myself from; when it comes to the beach, I simply can’t bear to tote it along to a place where it is sure to wind up sandy, wet, and, quite possibly, smelly. No, it is times like this when I must depend on a bag more proper for a day spent seaside. Something that is roomy and rugged; cutting edge yet cute; adorable yet affordable. A bag that will hold all the necessary requirements for a trip to the shore, without risk of being ruined. A bag like...well, like one of these beachy beauties, of course!

Lilly Pulitzer "Sink Or Swim Bag" Ah Lilly...the princess of prep. The queen of serene. The personage of pastels. And now, the creator of one of the most adorable straw totes I have ever laid eyes on. White braided rope handles and a patent navy trim offset the wheat-colored straw of this Sink Or Swim Bag, which is embroidered with colorful swimming fish of varying sizes, in addition to the words akin to road trips – “Are we there yet?” The blend of poppy, tropical-inspired shades make it a cinch to pair this pretty with any summery getup you may have lurking in your closet...from that wild zig-zag monokini, to your lipstick red sundress. Are we there yet? Correction…is it mine yet?

Free People "Rice Paper Beach Tote" Eco-friendly. Roomy. Sturdy. Assembled from recycled detergent, rice, and storage bags. Available in three luscious colors – yellow, red, and green. Covered in vintage-inspired words and illustrations. No loves, this isn’t a figment of your imagination; nor is it a wish made upon a shooting star. If you must know (and yes, you must!), Free People’s Rice Paper Beach Tote is all you could ever want and more. The crinkly creation is functional and fabulous, managing to make space for your sunglasses and beach towel; change of clothes and sunscreen; reading material and flip flops; without forgoing flair, to be sure. Today I want the yummy yellow. Yesterday I was eyeing the ravishing red. Last week I was gaga over the green. Perhaps with such affordability the best thing to do is simply invest in all three; sounds like a plan to me!

Victoria's Secret "Supermodel Tote" Alessandra Ambrosio. Miranda Kerr. Marisa Miller. In my opinion, they are three of the most gorgeous supermodels on the planet. And now? Well, you can take them with you wherever you go; namely, the beach! The Supermodel Tote is the quintessential tagalong for a day of seafront lollygagging. Gray, silver-tinted waterproof PVC material serves as a classic backdrop to the piece de resistance – a photograph of the three supermodels frolicking upon the bank. The entire photograph – including the three lovely ladies – is displayed in black and white; while the bikinis they happen to be donning take center stage with bright, poppy colors. It’s the perfect size. It’s the perfect shape. It’s the perfect conversation piece. Let’s simply face it; it’s the perfect beachy purchase!

Athleta "Boho Beaded Bag" Sand that is white as snow. Water clear as a blue sky. Lush palm trees swaying to and fro in the cool breeze, a netted hammock strung up amidst them. Now that’s what I call a perfect day at the beach. But, even without such a tropical setting or locale, the Boho Beaded Bag manages to invoke these images in my mind with just one glance. Crafted of toyo straw (a material that is actually paper) woven into a shape similar to fish netting correspondent to that found within the cargo of a pirate’s ship, then outfitted with a palm-frond colored lining, this is a bag destined to take you to hippie heaven. Black wood beads cover the natural netted body, while a magnetic snap closure makes it possible to keep your valuables safe and sound. It’s low-key and luxurious...simply perfect for a sandy adventure!

SHOPINTUITION "Bathing Beauty Beach Bag" Being a bathing beauty can be such a difficult task; especially when you’re competing not only with fellow bikini-donning beach dwellers, but the casual yet covetable Bathing Beauty Beach Bag, as well. The teasing terry cloth turquoise tote, embellished with sassy embroidery proclaiming the words Bathing Beauty, and flanked with a teeny pink bikini is eyecatching and essential for all of your seaside shenanigans; of course, it also doubles as a hot hobo for those casual trips to romantic resort towns. The waterproof lining makes it simple to store your wet suit; but the true beauty of this Bathing Beauty Beach Bag? The outer zip pocket made of plastic. No more worries about your shimmery sunscreen staining your glossies, as you can keep it separate in this convenient little pocket. Beautiful. Organizational. Yum!

Ready to get beachy, girls?


Fashionably yours!

Lampin' It Up

The Hamptons: A luxurious east coast summer hideaway frequented by the elite.
Lampin’: A term coined by Kanye West to describe the unproductive moments that plague us when we’re in the throes of relaxing and chilling out – “Said she’s just lampin’, chillin’ on campus.”

Mix the two terms together and you have The Lamptons Hoody – a tres chic piece by East Hampton’s Blue&Cream, a shop that specializes in creating comfort by combining urban style with the ritz, glitz, and glamour of the quaint locale.

Now, it is not like me to get entirely worked up over a sweatshirt or, in this case, hoodie; but I have been utterly obsessed with The Hamptons since I was nothing more than a knee-high tot toddling along in tutus and tap shoes. So at the sight of this Lamptons Hoody, I could do nothing more than gape at all of its comfy, cozy, and oh-so adorable glory.

The Lamptons adds an urban flavor to the quaint seaside resort town that is often viewed as being pompous, pretentious, and posh. It blackens a pristine white wall found inside one of the sprawling mansions. It sprouts gold spots and wild weeds within the perfectly lush green grasses that grow along the outskirts of the castle-like residences which receive the same tender, love, and care as a bawling infant. It serves as the object behind the corroding, rotting, peeling, and discoloration that overwhelms the pretty white picket fences standing primly in front of each immaculately kept front porch. But, better yet, it adds a sense of street style to your wardrobe that you would be unable to achieve with any other piece of its kind.

My current cravings include the subtle grey and sophisticated black – two colors that will work well with anything in my wardrobe; though I would be more than willing to take the purple, pink, blue, red, or green offerings home if given the opportunity.

This is my chance to get in touch with the Hamptons-dwelling honey hiding deep within my soul. A single occasion created just for those unproductive moments I long for; when I can be the chick chilling in the background while everyone else is catering to their inner worker-bee. All I need is a Lamptons Hoody, and yes, I’ll be lampin’ it up with the best of them!

Party Girl

Am I off to a party? No. Have I been invited to a spectacular soiree? Negative. Is there a cocktail party not too far from here that I’m planning on crashing? Absolutely not. Regardless of the fact that I currently have nowhere to go, I feel that it is finally my time to cast all fears, precautions, and hesitations aside. To shed my good girl image and get in touch with my wild side; the one that crashes chichi parties; the one who dances ‘til dawn even on a school night. Who throws all talk of curfews to the wind, and sincerely let’s loose. Who refuses to think about responsibility, and candidly has fun. How do I plan on accomplishing this seemingly simple task? Easy. By donning this AE Belted Party Dress.

Wisteria Purple or Navy Night. Two decadent color titles that bring about numerous fashion fantasies; in addition to rebellious dreams. Crafted of lightweight cotton, there’s an element of light corsetry about the bust that conveys an air of Victorian style, which is only made stronger by the splendrous satin ribbon belt adorning the waist. A mini diamond print adds a bit of dimension to the knee-length frock; while smocking on the back helps to create the perfect fit. But of course, you know me, nothing is complete – be it a satin evening gown or cotton sundress – without a pocket or two; and yes, this flirty piece of adorable femininity features two, just waiting for you to slip in a tube of lip gloss, or perhaps a tiny bouquet of flowers from a secret admirer.

During the daylight, I’ll sit poolside, my feet dangling in the crystal clear water, looking like a little lost girl who’s all dressed up with nowhere to go. Sometimes you may find me padding barefoot through a flower field, the slight breeze whipping my loose unwashed hair about my face. Or maybe I’ll be seen at a garden party, sipping tea in a white wicker lawn chair surrounded by colorful hydrangeas.

When night falls I’ll creep out of the shadows with a sparkly statement necklace clasped about my throat, my hair in a loose updo with wisps falling around my face. For a brief time I’ll dance and laugh with strangers. I’ll become the girl whom everyone wants to know. The one who is effortlessly beautiful, unconsciously graceful, and ostentatiously inconspicuous. Once I have left an impression upon everyone, I will slip away, leaving nothing more than a skinny strap in either wisteria purple or navy night in my wake a la Cinderella as proof that I was there. That yes, I certainly do exist. For you see, loves, the AE Belted Party Dress? Well, it’s home to removable straps; so should you feel like wearing it as a tube dress, go ahead and do it! After all, you’re a party girl now.

Second Summer

There’s something about Stevie Nicks’ Edge of Seventeen that reminds me of a Second Summer. Her strong, yet oftentimes hushed voice seems to echo through your brain in the same fashion that the warm breeze accompanying a Second Summer rustles the crisp leaves as they morph from green to yellow to brown to orange to red with the changing of the seasons; while at breathy pauses of the song, images of feathers being ruffled, and blowing in the wind flow through your mind. Perhaps that’s why I instantly thought of her when I laid eyes upon Alex and Ani’s Moonlit Mile Feather Necklace.

While just a tiny whispery, whimsical feather laced through a delicate gold chain and topped with an elegant rhinestone bead, there’s something so undeniably lovely about this piece that simply takes my breath away. The truffle is dark and delicious; but it’s the amber-colored offering, which is offset by fluffy bits of white, that has truly caught my eye.

Ethereal is perhaps the word best fit to describe this particular piece, as it invokes images and thoughts of fringed and beaded moccasins; of wide-open plains; of cutoff denim shorts; of loose-fitting tanks and tees in neutral colors; of hippie headbands; of bohemian beauty; of earth-loving goddesses. There’s an effortless spirituality found within this tiny gem that is utterly impossible to resist. Topping a plain white tee all by its lonesome, it would stand front and center; but even if combined with draping gold chains, there’s something about it that would still bring its beauty to the forefront.

Soft, sultry, angelic...I’m desperate to have one of my own!


Fashionably yours!

Waist-ing Away

Oh mon chers, I feel like a downright, dirty traitor. My low-rise skinny jeans have been with me through thick and thin. They’ve danced under disco balls; gone on lunch dates with cute boys; went on road trips through ghost towns; dined in divine restaurants; and even spent time at the beach. So do you not think that I am committing the worst form of fashion betrayal by fawning over 70s inspired high-waisted jeans? Do you think me guilty of mutiny, perhaps even treason, for coveting their Brigitte Bardot infused beauty? I have tried my best to ignore their lovely lure, but it seems impossible...I’m waist-ing away.

Blue London Jean "The Seventies Jean" The only thing I love more than high-waisted jeans at the moment? High-waisted jeans that don’t put a dent in my wallet, of course. Thus, The Seventies Jean is bound to become a close, personal friend of mine quite shortly – or so I hope. This is a pair of denim that does a body good, and would most certainly please the likes of Donna and Jackie, the high-waist wearing femme fatales of That 70’s Show or Charlie’s divinely-dressed detective Angels. The dark wash provides a canvas for all sorts of spectacular styles – from brightly colored tops, to more classic neutrals – while the wide leg and bell bottom fit would look simply irresistible with a woven pair of espadrilles and big sunglasses. These are scrummy to the tenth power!

J Brand "'The Bardot' High Waist Skinny Jean" Obviously I lucked out a bit, for these Bardot High Waist Skinny Jeans make it simple for me to embrace the high waist style without forsaking my beloved skinny cut. With these, I may just feel the desire to, for once in my life, tuck in an Oxford button-down top to showcase the high waist, which features a 1 ½ inch waistband, in addition to a cute copper-colored closure, and call it a day. During weekdays, when I’m pushing paper at the office, I’d keep it professional with blazers and booties; on weekends or nights out, they would transform to a piece of casual creativity, being paired with off-the-shoulder tops and loose sweatshirts. Finally, I will be able to channel my inner Brigitte!

metrostyle "High Waist Suspender Jeans" You may feel yourself overwhelmed with the urge to run from overalls that remind you of your childhood playground days; but I am telling you straight…you will never want to let go of these sailor-imbued, ultra light stonewashed High Waist Suspender Jeans. The color is reminiscent of a blue sky on a cloudless day, and is accented with a total of twelve shiny silver buttons – six located on each hip – an embellishment that only heightens the sailor style. The wide leg is ideal for flattering any shape or size; and, of course, if the suspenders are unwanted, simply take them off, as they’re detachable. Yes, it’s a versatile piece that would look lovely with brightly colored accessories, and long, flowing tresses or a floppy hat; plus, they’re trendily affordable – I guess it’s time to take my own advice and buy a pair myself!

Silence & Noise "High-Waisted Skinny Jean" Upon spotting these High-Waisted Skinny Jeans, I instantly thought of jeggings; but no, these are most certainly jeans, just with a spandex addition for easy movement. Adorned with five pockets and tapered legs, these are high-waisted skinny jeans will make you feel like a model strutting your stuff up and down the catwalk, even if you’re simply shopping at the local drugstore. Available in three colors – midnight, black overdye, and light blue – all of which display contrasting stitching, and a very retro waistband, it’s impossible to choose a favorite. Maybe I should just splurge and opt for all three?

Rich & Skinny "High Waisted Bootcut Jeans" Relaxed yet regal. Vintage yet avant-garde. Romantic yet free-spirited. Those are the words that instantly flitted through my mind upon spotting these High Waisted Bootcut Jeans. The true blue vintage wash, contrasting orange seaming, and whiskering on the thighs keep the often retro style fresh and contemporary from top to bottom; while the double button closure add a fun, flirty flair to the look. But the main attraction, at least in my mind, is the differing heights of the waist – the front features a 9-inch regular rise, whilst the back showcases a 14-inch rise. It’s a whimsical, original addition that only makes them more covetable.

Are you waist-ing away too, darlings?


Fashionably yours!

Smitten Saturday

♥Lollipop Lane My addiction to lollipops should come as no surprise. After all, it is nearly impossible for me to keep the yummy sweets out of my daily posts, let alone my mouth. But today I have decided to feed my desire. It’s true, my discovery of lollipop adorned and inspired accessories and clothing is probably unhealthy, to say the least. It is, however, a much sweeter way to satisfy my cravings, and increase the size of my wardrobe all in one shot. Thus, I now have a hunger for this, this, and this. Obviously the only way to feed the fashion beast within me is via a little trip down Lollipop Lane!

♥Write On I know nothing about Jon & Kate Plus 8, I was never introduced to The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and oftentimes I simply forgot to tune in to the catfights and photo shoots featured on America’s Next Top Model. One piece of reality that I never missed an episode of? MTV’s The Paper. As a budding journalist who has been creating mini newsletters since the age of three, it was simply thrilling to see what it takes to put together a truly fabulous school newspaper. And, of course, there was the added bonus of the dorky Amanda Lorber, whose preppily cute style, endless pairs of leggings, and wide array of sassy spectacles never failed to put a cheery skip in my step. Regardless of the fact that this show ended over a year ago, I still find myself watching reruns Online. I wonder what the cast is up to now...and, you know, MTV, if it’s possible...please bring The Paper back to life!

♥Bead All About It I used to collect beads. Yes, it sounds like the most bizarre thing to collect, but I did. In fact, I still have buckets full of them to prove it. Though while I possessed beads of all different colors, some adorned with anchors, others with animals, none were as unique as the ones found through BeadforLife. Crafted by Ugandan women out of recycled paper, BeadforLife creates beaded jewelry that is both beautiful and affordable, in addition to caring, as all profits from the line go straight towards community development projects. Currently, I would very much like to call this, this, and this mine. And, for storage purposes, I’ll take this, as well. What’s so perfect? I become the proud owner of a fabulous piece of jewelry, and it’s all for a good cause. What more could a girl ask for?

♥Miu Miu for Me Me Oh, I have a confession to make. I spend hours upon hours staring at various Miu Miu pieces that I am truly convinced were made just for me. It has become so bad that I actually print photographs out of the items, and gaze upon them with the same type of affection that one would gaze upon a distant lover. The current main object of my Miu Miu affections? The Vitello Lux Bow Satchel. Convertible. Slouchy. Adorned with bows. It’s a handbag that oozes sophistication, yet manages to appear bohemian when paired with the appropriate attire. It’s a classic piece of perfection that I simply covet. Of course, at $1,150, it will have to remain the star of my dreams. At least for now. Then there are the Oversized Sunglasses which I would truly love to own in violet. And, let’s face it, my wardrobe is positively incomplete without these Brogue Banana Flats. Oui, indeed I need a bit of Miu Miu in my life!

♥Pearlitize Me, Captain! Five hundred forty-seven days, five hours, thirty-nine minutes, and counting. That is how long I have coveted a Blackbery. That is how long I have craved the feel of my fingers pounding away at its QWERTY keypad, typing out quirky notes to my friends and co-workers. That is how long I have dreamed of surfing the web while on the freeway (as a passenger, not the driver, mind you!). And now. Finally. I think my wish may come true via the Blackberry Pearl. It’s sleek, sassy, and chic. Plus, it’s well within my broke college student budget. I can see my little Blackberry Pearl peeking out of my bag already. It’s shimmery skin shining in the sunlight. I’m sold. Hurry up and pearlitize me, captain!

♥Hamptons Honey Don’t get me wrong, I’m a city girl through and through; but there’s an undeniable lure that I feel towards the Hamptons. Something simply calling me to visit the quaint little seaside resort town. To buy anything and everything my heart desires in the sweet shops; swim in the secluded beaches found in Sagaponack, Amagansett, and Montauk; eat ice cream from East Hampton’s Scoop du Jour while strolling Main Street; perhaps even slip into the exclusive Annual White Party unnoticed. It’s such a divine location that I’m sure I would find myself unable to depart from once there. Dare I say I crave the chance to be a Hamptons Honey?

What were you smitten with this week?

I Want Candy Giveaway

L.A. Candy by Lauren Conrad Nineteen-year-old Jane Roberts is guilty of one thing – never straying from her comfort zone. She refuses to tread unfamiliar waters; preferring to stay within the confines of a familiar safety net, and, though she’s an attractive natural blonde, thinks of herself as a tried and true “plain Jane.” But a new location is going to change all that. Los Angeles is a place of bronzed beauties all vying for a shot at stardom, so it seems unlikely that the jittery Jane would select such a spot to call her new home; but she’s convinced that La-La Land is the perfect place to make a new name for her. And with her BFF Scarlett Harp by her side, she has the confidence to take the plunge. Scarlett and Jane have been tight seemingly forever; so there’s no question in Scarlett’s mind that moving to Los Angeles from the quiet Santa Barbara is just the change the two of them need. She’ll have the opportunity to attend the University of Southern California, and finally experience city life firsthand. But LA isn’t necessarily all it’s cracked up to be. The dingy hole-in-a-wall apartment that the two girls call home is anything but charming – Jane’s term for the place – and the expense of living...well, it leaves a lot to be desired. So when Jane and Scarlett find themselves at celebrity hotspot Les Deux one night, hobnobbing with the rich, powerful, and beautiful, they can’t help but be thrilled. And when they meet TV producer Trevor Lord, they’re convinced that they’ve hit the jackpot. Especially when they’re offered the chance to star in L.A. CANDY, a reality TV show that follows their every move – no matter how embarrassing. Jane takes to her new celebrity status much better than her red hot roommate Scarlett. As an intern to Fiona Chen, a demanding yet sought-after event planner to the elite, Jane finds herself tossed into a celebrity-fueled existence brimming with lavish parties, to-die-for clothes, and pretty prima donnas. As if that weren’t enough to have any girl floating on cloud nine, Jane is now occupying a luxurious apartment, and has snatched herself a cute new friend (and secret crush) in the handsome Braden – a relationship that leaves Scarlett feeling like a third wheel. But not everything is peachy keen in the world of reality. The staged so-called spontaneous moments can be awkward, and being poked and prodded by a camera crew as they attempt to wire you up with mini microphones is less than glamorous. Of course, sometimes you have to take the good with the bad when you want to live the sweet life. Lauren Conrad has worn many hats over the years...fashion designer, reality TV star, intern at Teen Vogue, cover girl. Perhaps none, however, have been as influential as her foray into fiction; or as long-awaited. I read the first tale in the expected trio (and loved every minute of it), now you can too. Café Fashionista has two copies of L.A. Candy up for grabs courtesy of HarperTeen. One of them could be yours. To enter the I Want Candy Giveaway: ♥For one (1) entry, leave a comment on this post between now and Thursday, July 2, 2009 at midnight PST. ♥For two (2) entries, Twitter about this giveaway, and leave a comment on this post between now and Thursday, July 2, 2009 at midnight PST with your Twitter URL. I will randomly pick two names out of a hat (who knows, one may be yours!), and announce the winner on Friday, July 3, 2009. It’s the perfect guilty-pleasure, gossip-filled tale for a day at the beach; trust me. Good luck everyone! Fashionably yours!

La Bewitching Beachcomber

As a child rainy days consisted of using every pillow, sheet, blanket, chair, and table in the house to create forts that I would curl up in with a flashlight, books, and a sleeping bag. Sunny days, on the other hand, were consummated with me filling a picnic basket with homemade sandwiches, mini packs of Teddy Grahams, and a thermos of pink lemonade, and dragging my loot all out to the front lawn where I would lounge upon a pink knit blanket under a colorfully-striped beach umbrella for hours at a time indulging in a picnic for one. Somehow these memories had evaded my mind for so many years, until I stumbled upon these magical Beachcomber Baskets from PB.

There’s something so rustic about these Beachcomber Baskets. An element that instantly invokes visions of the quaint atmosphere found within the Hamptons. Available in four different sizes – extra-large round basket, oversized rectangular basket, low rectangular basket, and magazine tote – I find that this quartet is utterly adorable for use around the house or out and about.

The piece de resistance, in my opinion, however, is the magazine tote. No, I am not just saying that because it is the most inexpensive offering in the collection, or because it features two of my favorite words in its title: magazine and tote. The truth is, I feel that it’s the perfect size for what I have in mind.

Before the sun comes up, I would toss on my midnight blue LnA Off the Shoulder Long Sleeve Flashdance Top, slip on a frayed denim mini, and grab my Magazine Tote. I would slide a thin blanket in first, followed by an array of newly-released glossies, topped with a few bottles of sparkling water. Once my brief task of packing is complete, I would pad silently out of the sliding glass door of my waterfront bungalow, creep over to The Hamptons' East Beach (mere footsteps from my humble abode), and spend the day relaxing in splendor, my beachcomber by my side. As you can see, I spend way too much time daydreaming...but it’s ever so fun. Perhaps I need to rethink my career path; maybe beachcomber would be a more fitting form of employment for me.

Denim Darling

You do not need a degree in fashion design or merchandising to select the perfect jacket; nor must you rely on fashion forecasters to predict what long sleeved marvel should be hanging in your closet. Sometimes all you really need to dress up is a piece that will dress you down. A divine little slice of warm weather heaven that will shield you from those chilly moments; or simply add a little dimension, a little volume, to your outerwear. Thus I bring to you my wardrobe craving du jour...the denim jacket.

Mike & Chris "Gibson Long Sleeve Denim Jacket in Copenhagen Blue" Woven detailing. Tortoise buttons. This Gibson Long Sleeve Denim Jacket in Copenhagen Blue has an original design that is multifaceted, and...simply put, magnificent. The collar, buttons, and detailing upon the shoulders bring to mind a look reminiscent of The Beatles’ Sergeant Pepper days; yet the striking color keeps the look modern and manages to awaken every piece in your wardrobe. I think I’ve just become a Gibson Girl!

Urban Outfitters "Urban Renewal Overdyed Denim Jacket" Ooh, UO, you’ve most certainly piqued my interest...this Urban Renewal Overdyed Denim Jacket is like no other you will ever see your friends or foes donning, because it’s one-of-a-kind made especially for you! Crafted out of vintage denim jackets, then overdyed to give it a wash all its own, this is a jacket the trendsetting girl will be clawing to get her hands on. I’ll take two, s’il vous plait…after all, they’re bound to be different!

True Religion Brand Jeans "'Jimmy' Denim Jacket" A new fellow by the name of Jimmy has captured my interest. He has classic good looks, is rugged and rough, yet a bit of a softie once you get to know him. Yes, True Religion Brand Jeans’ ‘Jimmy’ Denim Jacket, is, quite possibly, the quintessential piece de resistance of the denim world. Distressed yet demure; classic yet modern; soft yet hardcore. Toss it on over a flowy white sundress, and you’re the picture of innocence; paired with pumps and a micro-mini and you’re a girl about town. Oh Jimmy, can’t you see that you’re the one that I want?

Old Navy "Women's Denim Jacket" By now you all know me well enough to be aware of my devotion to dark wash denim; but I am going to throw you all for a loop by admitting that, in this particular case, the medium wash Women’s Denim Jacket has made a much bigger impact on me. The white undertones in the denim provide a slight acid-wash vibe without looking to 80s, yet keep the oftentimes harsh look that denim jackets create to a minimum, making this the perfect piece for summer, when the night air causes just the slightest bit of goosebumps, and you’re looking for a neutral beauty to pair with your knit mini and espadrilles.

Charley 5.0 "Denim Zipper Jacket" Edginess is something that my wardrobe lacks. Sure, I have a pair of motorcycle boots (which have yet to see the light of day), but aside from the buckled beauties, I tend to go more girly and less masculine. Regardless, this Denim Zipper Jacket may be just the edgy piece my closet is calling for. Silver slant zippers provide a glittery contrast to the dark wash denim; while the motorcycle-like cut gives this denim jacket an out-of-the-ordinary appearance that will add a little tough girl chic to everything from florals to ruffles, and feathers to frills.

Are you ready to become a denim darling?

Scorpion King

A venomous predator; scorpions are not one to be fooled with.

Stings can be deadly; aggressive moments aren’t out of the question.

When viewed under an ultraviolet light it’s possible to see them glow. Perhaps in quite the same way that this Scorpion Ring will glow, twinkle, shine, sparkle, and shimmer upon my welcoming finger.

A brass body with antique finish is bedazzled with crystal stones in a gulp-worthy amber tone.

Divine detailing highlight each and every crevice of the multiple-eyed creature making him virtually come to life with each wiggle and sway of your hand.

♥ His motives? Unkind.

♥ His deviant behavior? Leaves much to be desired.

Even so, he is king. A majestic royal pleased as long as he has a proper place to perch himself. His private perch du jour? Why my finger, of course!

Oui, I worship at the house of le petit scorpion; now please say you’ll be mine, oh great one!


Fashionably yours!

My Fair Flower

It seems so simple to cast flowers off as a luxury that is unnecessary and unneeded when you’ve never received them from a cute boy before; but in truth, I would love for someone to place a bouquet upon my porch, ring the doorbell, and consign me to days of wondering who the culprit is. Or perhaps have a secret admirer at work leave a single lily upon my desk to which I would arrive to one morning unbeknownst of who had bestowed such a romantic gift upon me. And, of course, once a few sweet dates have taken place, to find a trail of crimson rose petals leading to a romantic candlelit dinner for two. But, alas, scenes like these seem synonymous with chick flicks, so for now, I am content with receiving this utterly adorable Cupcake in Bloom from 1-800 Flowers.

The Cupcake in Bloom is, hands down, the yummiest bouquet I have ever laid eyes on. Available in an all white carnation arrangement or a blend of green and orange carnations, topped with a candle and a little Celebrate! flag, all languishing in a cupcake cup that you can use over and over again, this Flower Cupcake is the sweetest treat you could possibly receive; and, best of all, it lacks the calories that its frosting-covered counterpart plies us with!

Oh, I know that we are only in the middle of June, and my birthday isn’t until December. And yes, I’m aware that, while completely adorable and sweet smelling, the Cupcake in Bloom may not pack the same punch as the scrummy smell of edible cupcakes baking in the oven. But, all that aside, I’m obsessed. Any boy who would have the good sense to spring for this cupcake arrangement, as opposed to the typical bouquets that you see all over the place is a winner in my book.

Now...should I request the all white or the green and orange? I’m sensing a splash of color in my future. Which one would you choose?


Fashionably yours!

Destination Paris

Darlings I’m currently plagued by a dilemma of epic proportion. What has me in a tizzy? Why am I up in arms? My lack of summer plans, if you must know. Oh, how I long to languish upon the Parisian beaches in a tiny bikini and oversized floppy hat; rev the engine of a pretty pink vespa as I drive over hidden cobblestone-covered passageways; indulge in croissants and cappuccino at quiet cafes full of fashion-forward diners; stroll arm-in-arm with a cute French boy as we tour the Eiffel Tower; and, of course, shop until the fashionable Francophile in me drops into a tres chic heap. But, alas, my travel plans are a little less European and a little more local than I’d like. Thus, I have decided to interject a bit of Parisian flair into my personal bubble via a tribute of tees that bring the City of Light to life.

Wildfox Couture "I Love French Boys Tee" Leave it to Wildfox Couture to tap into our psyche and place our thoughts front and center on a plain white t-shirt emblazoned with words that the whole world will see; words that may embarrass some and create love connections for others. With their I Love French Boys Tee, the designer duo has done just that. A white backdrop plays up the red, white, and blue lettering that proclaims a passion for accented cuties; while the slightly swingy bottom and relaxed fit add a casual elegance that is entirely too hard to ignore. My name is Erika, and yes, I love French boys – and this top!

Urban Outfitters "Le Paris Open Crew" Captivated. From the moment I laid eyes upon this Le Paris Open Crew I have found myself completely captivated with it. The poppy red color is just vibrant enough to intrigue passersby without making you feel like a flashing stoplight; whilst the vintage, slightly-faded black lettering complete with the words Le Paris (with an Eiffel Tower standing in for the letter A) make it appear as if you searched high and low through every secondhand shop in the state to find such a glorious piece of fashion. When, in reality, you simply snatched it up at UO. I’ll take two, s’il vous plait!

Forever 21 "Mon Amour Paris Tee" Aside from carb-filled – yet yummy – croissants and baguettes, what two things are synonymous with Paris? Berets and cute girls with cropped haircuts, of course! Obviously the masterminds behind Forever 21 took these things into consideration when creating this Mon Amour Paris Tee, for the pale black/gray graphic print acknowledges both of these things. The beret-adorned character sketch displays long eyelashes which she seemingly bats your way when you glance at her adorableness, in addition to pouty, bow-shaped lips perfect for double-kissing the cheeks of old and new friends; while a hot pink heart rests upon her cheek, adding a punchy splash of color. Yes, she may simply be a cleverly sketched piece of make-believe, but her uncomplicated, breezy good looks paired with her adorable style have me thinking something very unusual: I want to be her!

Urban Outfitters "Oui Paris Curved Hem" Perhaps the only thing better than a top that proclaims the words “Oui Paris!” is one that also sports a chic curved hem that adds a fun, flirty, flattering kick, much like this Oui Paris Curved Hem. Perfect for styling with anything in your wardrobe – from your high-waisted pencil skirt to your skinny jeans; flouncy mini skirt to your denim shorts. It’s a versatile bit that invokes visions of Versailles. A lovely look that you can’t help but embrace. Do I want it? Oui!

Wildfox Couture "J'Adore Amore Sweat" One of my favorite words? J’adore, of course! So it’s no surprise that I would simply adore this 70s-inspired, neon pink J’Adore Amore Sweat. The slightly relaxed fit provides a simple, undemanding way to look gorgeous in a cinch, as it obviously calls for purposely mussed bedhead, and a pair of slouchy boyfriend jeans or body hugging leggings to complete the look. This is a necessity for those days when you want to simply ooze lazy sass. Pardon the reiteration, but...j’adore!

My current dream destination? Paris, to be sure. Where are your current destination dreams taking you?


Fashionably yours!
