Last Monday, I was mindlessly stalking various websites in hopes of finding the Lapis YSL ring. I came across my size 5 on the Saks site and I think I literally gasped! I ordered right away, because I knew it would sell just as quickly as it had before, when I thought it was finally going to be mine (I'm talking to you Net-A-Porter!) I was right. I checked the site again on Tuesday, and the lapis was gone.

The color is even more brilliant in person. The stone glows.

Edit: For you, Nicole =)


I hope everyone is having a good week so far!

I resisted for months because Chanel anything is pricey, even a bottle of nail polish. Although I was always drawn to its steely blue color, there was so much hype surrounding Black Pearl that I didn't want to give in. How many polishes can one girl own? My collection is pretty large, and it's not something I'm proud of. I convinced myself that I didn't need this. However, I finally gave in to Chanel. And you know what? I'm happy I did =)


Do any of you own Black Pearl, or any other Chanel polish?
Happy Weekend!

I always go alone. And although I enjoy the "me" time it provides, having a partner in crime in the dressing room would most definitely be helpful. Should I size up or size down? Does this color suit me? And the most obnoxious question in the world to tumble out of a woman's mouth, " Does this make me look fat?" Hey, it's an important question, one I can't really answer on my own. So I normally end up putting items on hold while I mull them over. Lately, and as part of my New Year's Resolution, I am only going home with things I love or need in my closet. I took a little trip to Forever 21 today, camera ready to take some dressing room shots.  I love seeing these posts on other blogs. However, there was only one problem: I forgot to charge my camera and I only got one picture of a dress I was trying on before it died! I was so disappointed! I think I actually cursed. With the loud music blaring throughout the store, nobody heard. I think.


This dotted number DID NOT come home with me. Cute, but way too baggy on top and I felt it was incredibly unflattering.


Then..........Camera died. But I was just getting started! Hmmmmmmm.


However, I found the dress that did come home with me on the website.

Love the pockets, the tiny cream polka dots against the black background, and the full lining. It's been very chilly here, but I can't wait to wear this with a skinny belt, cardigan, and my new heels.





While reading Veronika's Blog, I noticed that many girls were recommending Nine West's Ambitious Pumps. I've been searching for platforms, and the hunt continues. I tried several pretty pairs on,  But they were all either far too tall for me or out of my price range. But then these caught my eye and I remembered the raves they received on her blog. They aren't platforms, but they are gorgeous and extremely comfortable. I would say the heel height is about three inches which is perfect. I love the classic look and  shiny patent is beautiful if done correctly.  

So overall, my attempt at taking you with me to shop was a giant fail. I love the idea, so my next attempt will be better. I promise.

Thank you for reading,
