Don't mind if I do...

Just booked a trip to Cabo in May for a MUCH needed vacation.  To say that I'm excited about this trip (and BREAK) would be a serious understatement.  Now... better start shopping for things to wear ;)

Current Style Crushes

Just a quick post to share two of my favorites with you.  Olivia Palermo and Taylor Tomasi Hill... who are both always IMPECCABLY dressed and styled.  Everything about these girls just exudes cool.  Every time I see a picture of either of them, I feel inspired about fashion all over again.  These are just a few of my favorite looks from both...

My happy place

As I said in a previous post, the home decorating is coming along.  I can't tell you how many times in the past 6 months or so I've felt exactly like Carrie Bradshaw from the scene in the Sex in The City II movie when she tells the salesperson at the store that she's been cheating on fashion with furniture.  Truthfully, when I think back, I've been back and forth between fashion and home decor for most of my adult life.  The funny part is that when I moved into this place in October and started having ALL kinds of home decor ideas, my first thought was 'noooo.... don't forget about clothes, you have a fashion blog!' LOL.  Silly me.  I can write about whatever I want, yes?  Don't mind if I do. :)

The new(ish) place is starting to feel more and more like a home every day.  The one room on the main floor that has been left completely untouched is the dining room.  People... it's time to change this.  Sadly, the primary hold up with the dining room is that I couldn't make up my mind about what I wanted.  This actually turned out to be a good thing, because after seeing how some other things turned out in the loft, I've had time to think about what NOT to do in the dining area.  I'm still somewhat undecided, but these are some pics I'm looking to constantly for inspiration:

My Best Dressed - Oscars 2012

Overall, the Oscar red carpet was a bit of a let down this year.  I wasn't really blown away by anyone's look, but a few of my favorites are as follows:


Gweneth in Tom Ford... SERIOUSLY my best dressed.  Her hair was a little plain (didn't like the rubber band for the Oscars) but her makeup was flawless and obviously the dress was stunning.  Also, Gweneth makes me never want to eat carbs again.  I'll be researching the GOOP diet immediately.  Thanks, Gwen.


Yes, I know Nicole Kidman wore a similar dress a few years ago.  It was a different color red (not fuchsia, like this one) and was a different silhouette completely.  That being said, it is a red color dress with a bow at the neck. And I LOVE IT.  Besides, Emma is such a cutie and can do know wrong.  She was adorable when she was presenting!

Apparently I'm the only person who loved this Elie Saab dress on Berenice Bejo... and I'm ok with that.  I'm not even on this pastel/mint trend with everyone else... and I STILL loved this dress.  I love the shape and the the details, and her skin looks amazing in it.

Okay, this wasn't actually a best dressed nominee for me - mostly because of the fit (it was cutting into her bust pretty badly).  But it's McQueen.  On Jessica Chastain.  And she DEFINITELY wins best hair and makeup...seriously gorgeous.
