'April Hath Put a Spirit of Youth in Everything'


My birthday was a week and a half ago, but I just went out this past weekend to celebrate (yup, you guessed it, due to horrible weather).  I always start shopping for my bday dress two months in advance, and I knew this year I wanted something long and sleek with a peekaboo element.  So when I was perusing the pages and pages of Asos clothing, this Aqua dress was a no brainer!  Beside the fact that it's impossible to get on and off without help, I LOVE IT!!  The cut out is just the right amount of sexy! 
Happy 33 me!


Took these shots at my elementary school!  The flowers and painted embellishments are new but that yellow line that we had to line up on and not utter a word is still there!  Many a time did I get detention for speaking out of turn :)  Yup, I was a talker!









What I'm Wearing:
Dress:  Aqua - Asos
           Orig.: $233.00
           Paid:  $103.00
Shoes:  Steve Madden
Bag: Alexander Wang Diego
Rings:  Adder Snakebite, YSL
Earrings: Jewel Mint

Would love to thank DizzyTea for giving me the One Lovely Blog Award! And might I add that she has one lovely blog.  Her images are fresh and whimsical and quite frankly, always puts me in the mood for high tea! And I'd also love to thank Michelle of Daily Cat Walk for giving me the Sunshine Award (how ironic that I can't seem to get SUN in NY). Thanks, Michelle, for your lovely award, and here's hoping it brings some sun!  Check out a couple of weird facts about me and the lovely ladies to whom I nominated here!


And now for some venting:

If you follow me on Twitter, you know of my ravings about these cuties, and how I couldn't find them in my size. Then, as my luck would have it, I happened to look again a couple of days later and voila! There they were in a 6.5, and they were the last pair. I just received them in the mail last night, ripped the box open, gleefully tried them on and ONE SHOE IS A SIZE SMALLER THAN THE OTHER!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO QUALITY CONTROL!!! My only hope is that the other person who's facing this dilemma is feeling as perturbed as I am and has called in the same problem...or....

...have any of you ladies had your shoes stretched?  And does it work?

'Through Tattered Clothes, Small Vices Do Appear...Robes and Fur'd [Coats] Hide All'





Found my first vintage fur on Etsy!  I am in absolute love!  I was somewhat skeptical about buying such an old fur on-line (it's from the 1950's!) without looking at it first, but the pictures showed an absolutely gorgeous coat so I gambled.  It is so soft and so completely warm!  I get sooo many compliments on it.  SCORE!












What I'm Wearing:
Coat:  Vintage Seal Fur - Etsy (Natural Honeyb)
Jeans: Miss Sixty
Boots:  Sperry Shearwater (made exclusively for JCrew)
Bag:  Alexander Wang Diego
YSL Ring
Adder Snakebite Ring - eBay
