Hello 2011

Hey everyone!! I have missed you all dearly. After a brief hiatus and deep consideration on what exactly I want to do with my blog... I am ready for 2011. Did you miss me? Your emails have been a blessing and an inspiration.

New Years Eve 2010.


I absolutely LOVE LOVE these shoes. Not only are they inexpensive, but they clean up so perfectly. These shoes saw the streets of NYC with the snow piled high (and the trash UGHHH!!) the floor of a beautiful lounge, and the spilled drinks to go along with it - and after a quick wipe off with soap and water they are as good as new!! What a great investment... considering purchasing them in black too. And the blue is the exact color in person.

I liked the idea of the LBD with a "POP" color shoe. The LBD is classic, but it can be so boring sometimes. But not with the perfect shoe. I wanted pink at first but I didn't want to be too Barbie. So royal blue it was, and they made the statement I wanted!

Over the past month not only have I acquired some cool new pieces, shoes, and jewelry, I also have done a TON of wedding stuff and started looking at places to live!! Super excited. It also has been somewhat funny... living in the North East is mucho EXPENSIVE to buy and rent. Even for a shoe box of an apartment... that wouldn't even fit my pajamas. Let alone shoes?! With roughly 250 pairs - UGH what am I going to do?!

And also thanks to my number one fan (Daddy).

A Weekend in the Life of...

This weekend was probably one of the best I have had in a LONG time. I found myself with a lot of spare time that was quickly filled up with friends, family and FUNFUNFUN.

I decided to do a post that reflects me in my "real" life, versus my normal outfit or editorial posts.


Saturday night, me and my girls took Hoboken by storm and had the perfect ladies night out. Here's how it went down...





(above) my friend's FAB shoes!! So cute!!



I polished my toe nails with Essie's "Vinyl Bikini" white polish. I was kind of unsure about buying it because I was afraid I'd look like I grabbed the white-out bottle instead of the nail polish... but I really like how it looks. What do you guys think? Would you rock white nail polish or does it need to go?

Today my fiance took me to NYC for some shopping and a date in Little Italy. The quality of the pictures are pretty poor... because I forgot my camera. Rookie move I know. So I made do with my Blackberry. Here's where we visited...


You can imagine all the goodies that were waiting for me in Acne!


Mecca


Its not a day without Jamba!


One of the best vintage stores for finding re-sale designer clothing.


GORGEOUS apartment building on Broome ... even the security grates are beautiful! Can I move in please?


Stumbled upon the Dolce and Gabbana shoot!!


I peeked around the security screen and snapped this shot. Sadly, no sexy male models present.



Date at Casa Bella!


I ended the perfect weekend with my little boo, Jordan. It never ceases to amaze me how much a dog can love you.

How was your weekend?! Fill me in!

PS - In case you are wondering why Friday night is not included, it is because I went to happy hour with my friends and a few coworkers. Happy hour turned into happy night... and there is NO DIGITAL EVIDENCE of this rediculous tryst. Thank god.
