Style Muse: Olivia P.
Her style is impeccable and meticulous. Whether Olivia Palermo is running errands, at a job, or a gala she is sure to turn heads. Every piece of item is well thought out and always fitted to the occasion. She's even got the handsome boyfriend to match (last photo)! I especially love that she looks ultra comfortable in all her outfits. You would never know a size of clothing is too big or small or a blister is brewing. Oh, to be an American Socialite, rough life... At least she carries herself well. Thank you for the fashion inspiration!
Must Haves:
Big Black Leather Bag
Tailored Blazers
Statement Jewelry
Ballet Flats
Bright Pop of Color
My Style Muse:
Comfortable, Chic, and Confident.
Little, Dainty Necklaces
I think every girl needs something dainty and pretty to grace their neck. These little gems will do the job. Just enough to make you feminine and romantic everyday without making a statement.
"Women wish to be loved not because they are pretty, or good, or well bred, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves."

Dreamy Designer Frocks
Elie Saab's 2011 Spring/Summer Collection. All things I absolutely love on one runway: dreamy pastels, sparkle, romanticism, and a whimsy affair. This Lebanese designer knows how to dress a girl and make her feel like the ultimate princess. From the soft color palette to the detailing on the dresses, everything is stunning.
What great inspiration for wedding attire, from the rehearsal dinner, the big day to honeymoon. Or a grand night in the the city. Or if you're lucky enough just to wear an actual Elie Saab gown.
Are you my kind of girlie-girl?
Hair Makeover Magic
If you think you're in need of a hollywood makeover, don't go farther than where your computer lies... InStyle has this fun hair application where you submit your photo and try on celebrity hairstyles. Talk about the good, bad, and ugly. However, most of all FUN!
I had the chance to try on Nicole Richie, Amy Adams, and Heidi Klum's hair. Ha ha. For some reason, red hair on me is quite good! Though, I enjoy my California beachy hair and will stick with my transition on going lighter! Just recently got my hair down in West Hollywood and loving it!
Designer Sales to peek at…
...and peek at, and peek at, till you're basically hooked!
I apologize now for introducing these two designer fashion sites, The Outnet and Ideeli. They feature sales from designer clothing, household items, accessories, to travel. The fabulous part about these sites? The major discounts and hot off the press sales! The down side? They are addicting. The Outnet has sales on super duper high end designer labels in the likes of Missoni, Fendi, Chloe, Marc Jacobs, and Jimmy Choo to name a few. The sale prices still seem crazy to me, but a girl can dream! While Ideeli has amazing and affordable sales on brands like Jessica Simpson, C&C, Badgley Mischka, BCBG, See by Chloe, L.A.M.B, and Michael Kors.
I'm so sad I missed the Red Sale on Ideeli recently. Looks like you gotta hit the sales right when they start because everything was sold out! The discounts were insane.
Take a peek if you dare.

Carried Away…
...with knee high socks.
Knit, argyle, stripes, leave it to fashion forward Carrie Bradshaw to rock this fall look. These fashion scenes from the Sex and the City movies are now all over the streets today. To do it right: keep it loose and long on top (avoid looking scandalous) and layer (a sweet cardigan or trench). Dress up with heels or dress down with oxfords.
Wish we Angelenos used the pay phones more, so we can rock the gloves ;-)
Super Size Me: Watches
New desire: A super sized watch. Not only practical, but a great statement accessory.
Bold, elegant, and sexy.
I love these neutral colors as well. They go well with every outfit. From a cocktail dress, tee and shorts, or work outfit, you will have no problem. I can't decide between the three.

Made for me: @EmersonMade
I recently came across Emerson Made and instantly fell in love! This clothing and accessories oozes everything I love: femininity, sophistication, sweet, with a touch of hippie. From the big fabric flowers, tweed blazers, chic clutches, urban linens, and pumpkin pumps, I want it all. The perfect additions to your fall wardrobe. Behind the label, are a quirky husband and wife duo. They are masterminds behind the great creations, styling, design, and photographs!
Too bad, this site is out of my price range. Give me a few months and I'll be all over this site. *fingers crossed*
What do you think of Emerson?
Cozy, Slouchy & Chic in Fall
Tis' the season to pull out your over sized, cozy sweaters. There's nothing like throwing on a pair of leggings and your big sweater and your ready for the day! No worries about the tight situations or muffin tops here. A cozy, slouchy, chic sweater knit is all you need to feel your best during these heavy eating seasons! Not sure if it's a bad thing, but hey as long as I look good. Dear Santa, I promise to stay in shape and eat healthy here and there ;)
Here a few styles to pull off the look:
Cozy up to me!

Stylish Rain Boots
Fall is in full gear and the rain is making a statement, whether we like it or not. While I love the fall season and dressing in layers, the rain is my enemy. Yes, the sound of it can be dreamy while you're cozy on the couch watching movies...but that is rare. I dislike working in it, I dislike driving in it, and I dislike dressing for it. Here is my solution for the feet, Stylish Rain Boots: practical, comfortable, and warm. Wear them over or under your pants, leggings, stockings and a simple skirt or dress, or simply with those sweats for errands. Cheers to making rain cute!
Here a few of my favorite styles in a variety of prices.
Go ahead, jump in those puddles!

Herringbone Rain Boot $60.00
