so turns out you dont need to buy cartier to get the look. stackingrings.com has a beautiful selection if you covet the look, and the 14k gold selection is a great color match...

boyfriend

I am going to learn to have more fun with iphoto and polaroids hopefully. So what do you guys think of the boyfriend jean. I tried it on myself and got very mixed reviews at the office, so I think I just haven't found the right one. Looking down it was very hard to adjust to the way my body had morphed.

those shoes

The perfect summer shoe. By manolo. Every season it is okay to indulge in one piece that will carry you for a long long time. For me, these shoes were that purchase. They complete the lbd, a bright dress, jeans and tee as worn above. I love them and patent leather, when done properly, has this great ability to conform to your feet.

red hot

Going to be adding in a lot more vests pretty soon, they're fun to layer with and really "make" an outfit

the return!

It's been a long time but I'm back and have even purchased some fun new items, going against my new years resolution. This Natasha dress was a steal at a sample sale that I can wear year round. My other half doesn't like it, but I think it's marvelous.

Having fun with my jeans and shoes today as you can see!

vacation essentials

I am going away on a beach vacation next week so I needed to get some essentials. I love jeans shorts, but didn't feel like spending a lot of money, so was excited to find these at H&M. I can't live without AA white v-neck t-shirts because I wear them to the beach or tucked into a skirt or jeans at night. Last but not least, red lipstick, to go with a tan. I got a nars color, red lizard, that I had read about. I tried to take a picture but it keep looking orange, so will just have to post shots of it on.

tights n heels

Love the look of colored tights and heels, regular tights and heels, tights and sandals... you get the idea. Did not love the way my face looked this morning, so cropped that out. I think that now that it is getting into April there will be a lot more dresses making an appearance. Too bad it feels like winter in NY.

friday dance

Needs better accessorizing, but love this $20 club monaco sequin skirt. Will be taking it on vacation with me. Can we all do a dance that it's Friday AND that spring is approaching AND that we can hopefully wear skirts again in a months time.

outfit pics

What do you think? I'm not sure the lacey cropped leggings are a good choice because they make legs looks short, but just playing around. The pants were a size too big, but I might prefer them slouchy like that with a tighter top an for $25 can't go wrong...

soft

Just as much as I love new clothing, I love new home accessories, too. And the latest, and only, additions to my small NY place are candles if you couldn't tell. I have them everywhere... along the windows, on the tables... I love the look of mercury glass lit candles every night.

office accessories

Griffin is the office pet at Ford. He is the cutest, fluffiest little thing. I have been wanting a dog for so long, but when you realize how much of a responsibility it is the next best thing is to enjoy the responsibility of others...

long legged creature

Alejandra has the best sense of style. She can be seen on www.youtube.com/fordmodels. Not only has she become a good friend of mine, but I always want to see what she will show up wearing. Must be nice to have long legs, but even if she was a petite like me I think she'd still find ways to optimize a great look.

saturday night party

I had been long for a long sleeved, one shoulder dress for a while now, and found it on sale by grey ant from online store, singer22, a month ago. It was a size large, which ended up working really well, making it slouchy and drapy rather than tight and miniature. Although I need a tan, it was the perfect party dress. Made it pop a little by adding lime green manolos, second hand find.

dress: grey ant
shoes: manolo!!!
bag: ysl (holiday gift two years ago, 70% off :)

wild for zebra

Tonight I will be going to a charity event for the Youth Renewal Fund (YRF) to help fight illiteracy in Israeli society. Wrap dresses are the perfect outfit for work to night... Later I can remove the tights and the tank top and have an evening look. DVF did this short wrap dress last year in zebra print for an updated take on her classic dress.

where's waldo

Love stripes of all kind, all year round. Didn't realize that the shirt underneath would pop up so much in the picture. Also a big fan of layering, the more the better! Pretty soon it's going to be too warm in NYC for sweaters...

mid-week post

It's always tough to stay inspired in the middle of the week. The beginning of the week you are fresh and have had time to think about great outfits over the weekend. Wednesday you just want to be comfortable.

party dress

Yara loves to wear dresses, and this dress was so feminine and pretty on her. Cobalt blue is definitely a trend that is not going away anytime soon.

my first collage

more purple

I took this picture last summer of one of the models, Amanda Shine, and my purple boots reminded me of it. She has such great hipster style, and pulled her pieces from forever 21, and true religion skirt was a vintage store. I admire people who have the time to go digging at vintage stores, since I mostly prefer the convenience of online shopping.

skirt: vintage store fine (true religion)

purple people eater

It's a nice day again in New York. We have an early morning meeting on Monday, and since I was watching the Oscar's last night, I did not plan what to wear. Therefore I threw on what's comfortable, my trusty AA grey top and the most comfortable jeans I own. Leopard always spruces up a boring outfit, and I love to pair it with my purple boots for an added kick. By the way- the only dress that intrigued me last night at the Oscar's was Keri Russell.

snow day outfit!!!

You can still be fashionable and comfortable! It is snowwwwing outside, so I wanted to wear sneakers, and flannel shirt to work today. Luckily we can be casual in the office.

jeans: AG

love exotic skins

Last Friday I got the opportunity to film Sarah Hearey's new line of handbags and jewelry which were pretty much out of this world. She uses exotic skins, vibrant colors, and every bag is adorned with "bird-ware" hardware. These bags are ultimate luxury, and the jewelry line is so functional and can transform any outfit.
