'All Losses Are Restored and Sorrows End'

I declare that all jeans should be made with a dash of stretch in them! These Free People cuties are fabulous and worth every penny! First worn here, they're high-waisted, thin, stretchy and in a word - breathable!! Best pair I have so far hands down (and incidentally, at the time of this shoot, the only pair). Yes, I'd gotten myself in a mood and simply donated all my jeans which were to tight, too low, too uncomfortable - which happened to be all of them.

So here's to finding new and more comfortable jeans!

What I'm Wearing:

Jeans: Free People (get yours here and similar awesomeness here)

Tee: H&M

Vest: Lord & Taylor

         Orig. Price: $78.00

         Paid: $25.00

Belt: American Apparel

Shoes: Sam Edelman

Sunspecs: BFs (Vintage Ray Ban)

Since I can't post everyday, I figured I'd give you guys a glimpse of my everyday outfits!



Attended the Urban Outfitter's Around the World Event with Pamela of Cinderella's Closet (who's fast becoming a dangerous and enabling shopping companion hehehe). We had a great time at the over crowded event sipping on Stella's and snacking on macaroons!

Sequined shorts; hell yeah!

Thought she wore the dress (above on the rack) beautifully! Loved the dramatic slits up the front.

This fur coat had deep purple panels on the sleeve...LOVE!

Yummy macaroons. They also were serving sweet tarts, champagne and Stella's but boy was it crowded (couldn't stop for picture taking too long or you'd get promptly bumped out the way)! People love their free alcohol!

Some awesome jewelry and footwear

'If He Be Married, My Grave is Like To Be My Wedding Bed'

The BF and I have a thing for old graveyards.  We'll pull over if we see a particularly creepy one and just walk through the tombs for a visit and read the dates on headstones.  Our weird way of getting a bit of history but also it's so sad sometimes to see a whole family buried side by side and to read the inscription of 'beloved daughter, 1821-1822'  There were so many headstones that read that way.

So we took out the camera and decided to pay homage to the dead.

By the way, first gave you guys a glimpse of this dress here.  Don't really wear it that much though because it's sooooo delicate!

What I'm Wearing:

Dress: Free People

Hat: JCrew

Shoes: Sam Edelman

Bracelets: Tiffany's, JCrew

Necklace:  All Saints

'One That Loved Not Wisely But Too Well'

When I found out my friend was getting married, I set out immediately on the search for a dress (a whole year before the wedding...who's a bit nuts?)  Anyhoo, I found this sweet number and instantly fell in love with it since I thought it was the perfect dress to wear for a beach wedding. Suffice it to say, I did not wear this dress for the wedding (after finding a couple of other suitable replacements along the way), kept it anyway and it turned out to be the perfect solution for the 100 degree NYC weather!

I finally managed to score this triple crystal Low Luv ring from Erin Wasson (orig. $168) for $80 and the freakin crystal falls out! REALLY!!! The thought didn't occur to make the prongs thicker or glue the crystals to the ring at least? 

a-refunding-we-will go!

Shame though, I really did love the ring :(

What I'm Wearing:
Dress: Casting
Shoes: Sam Edelman
Rings: A Peace Treaty, Low Luv, Made Her Think
Earrings: NYC Vendor

Finally met Karen from wheredidugetthat at the Topshop Blogger Style Socials Event.  Very sweet,  and the British accent doesn't hurt at all!

What I'm Wearing:

Top: Tucker for Target

Skirt: Whit

Necklaces: JCrew, DIY Studded Collar

She was the first to compliment me on my DIY studded collar and thank god too cause this thing was a pain in the derrier to make! 

Met Solange Knowles at Fashion Night out where she DJ'd at Lord and Taylor.  Was so grateful she posed for me (among the throng of people just standing there gawking at her) and she slipped in a 'I like your top'. 

This lil ol top (also worn here and here) from Victoria's Secret really is a winner and who woulda thunk? Had a girl email me asking me if I'd sell it to her. Go figure.

Did a cute photo flip book hosted by Kate Spade. It really is a fun lil book (and a great idea for a wedding reception instead of the photo booths).  When you flip the book, it plays like a movie.

 Here are some still shots me N'J (the girl behind some of my blog shots) and I having some phone with the movie camera.

Sam and Libby Edelman were also there, and so I ripped off the Sam Ed wedges I was wearing and handed it to him! He signed it and landed a wet one on my cheek :)
