Yum. Need I say more?

Welcome weekend!

January 9, 2009

I am so unbelievably happy it is Friday. Maybe by the time next Monday rolls around, I will start to fall back into my normal routine. I always find it so tough to come back and regulate after having a lovely two weeks off. Anyway, here are some of my favorite pictures from around the web today. Enjoy your Saturday and Sunday sweets! (And, if you are in New York, be prepared…it is supposed to snow tomorrow!)

I am about to sit down for a lovely lunch—prepared by my lovely mother— with some dear family friends, but wanted to post these two outfits first.

Such an effortless coolness about her, don’t you think? I love her fingerless gloves, slouchy moto boots and fringy scarf.

My idea of a genius outfit. I love the zipper detailing on her leggings, and how she paired a girly polka dotted skirt with a structured moto leather jacket and high tops. What do you think of these two looks?

The holidays are upon us!

December 19, 2008

Previously, I had you dear readers, tell me which outfit you might wear to a holiday party. Well, tonight is the boyf’s work party and I am hoping to get all gussied up. I have decided to go with the “sweet” option and donne a strapless black dress with light pink accents. I am also bring a sweet dessert as well, so it should be very fun and festive indeed! What are you all doing for the holidays? Any fun parties or soirees? Would love to hear! SPxx

These boots were made for walking…

December 19, 2008

The other night, I went to my dear friend A’s housewarming party in Hoboken, NJ. It was lovely. Her new place that she shares with her boyfriend, is so cute and homey, with all the right touches. We all had a fabulous time and went home feeling very merry. The only glitch in the night had to do with the shoes I chose to wear to and from her house. I’ll be honest, it is quite a jaunt (totally worth it, of course!) from the train station to her actual place, on top of being 30 degrees out. And, my patent leather stilettos did me wrong within five minutes of stepping off the platform. Needless to say, my feet are still suffering. So, I think it is time I took a small break from my sky-high heels, especially in this wintry weather, and invest in some stylish and comfortable flat boots. I scanned the web for relatively affordable options and managed to pull together my favorite choices, complete with black, brown and colored knee high boots. I think next time I decide to walk 25 minutes in the freezing weather to a party, I will wisely pull on my flat shoes, tote my pumps in my purse and sleuthily switch shoes at my final destination.

Seeing that it is getting pretty chilly out there, which of these boots would you wear to keep your toes, ankles and knees warm and comfy through the winter months? SPxx

Flashback…

December 16, 2008

to my very first post! I still love the look of a blazer with jean cutoffs, although now it is completely inappropriate for the weather we have been having. But, maybe with some tights and riding boots I could winterize the heck out it…

Enjoy! SPxx

Seems like the fashion Gods are trying to tell me that I need to buy a leather (or pleather) skirt immediately. They seem to be everywhere I look! Remember this darling girl? And, this cool vintage version? Plus, check out what these hip chicks are wearing, posted on the awesome blog, Love, Life and a Double Latte. Enjoy! SPxx
