I am feeling so much better readers! Thank you very much for the well wishes in my last post. The meds are really starting to kick in and although I don't feel 100 percent yet, I know I will soon. It's easy to take for granted my sharp hearing and sense of smell, but I will learn to be a little more grateful for my taste buds. This is the first time in a week that I've really put any effort at all into myself. After spending the majority of the last few days in bed, it feels wonderful (and a bit disconcerting) to get dressed again. I feel like a newborn deer who's just stumbled upon the scene! Aaaaaaaand we're walking! In heels no less =) Feels great.

Happy Friday!

Rose gold has become such a popular trend! Everywhere I go, this pretty shade of blush lures me in. I find rose gold to be ultra flattering on every skin tone, and it's a refreshing change from your standard white or yellow. I don't currently have anything in this girly color, but here are some pieces that I am loving.










I apologize for the very short post. I have been sick with a sinus infection for a few days now and my energy isn't all there. I hope you all are healthy, happy, and having a great week!

A belated Christmas present from my mom =) The two of us went shopping together for the first time in months, and it was awfully hard for me to decide just which one of Michael Kors' pretties I wanted to take home with me. I've had my eye on this one since I first spotted it in a Nordstrom catalogue. I love the silver hardware, mother of pearl face, and rhinestone detailing. I went back and forth between white, gold, and of course rose gold. However, as usual I went with my first instincts and chose the white. A neutral is a neutral and I know I will wear it with everything. Who says you can't wear white in the winter? It sparkles in the sunlight.


Have a beautiful weekend everyone!

I must confess: You would think that a girl that loves cosmetics and fashion would undoubtedly love decorating and home furnishings. They all resemble each other and go hand in hand right? Unfortunately, when it comes to decorating I am sort of clueless. Not that I don't know what colors and fabrics look good together, but I think my problem lies in the fact that I am indifferent about it all. I would rather adorn my own body than adorn my bedroom. My boyfriend and I are saving to buy our own condo, and I am hoping (almost certain) that when the time comes, I will be more willing and more interested in making our little house a home.

There is one thing that I do look for when buying little treasures for my house, and that's price and originality. I like things that look vintage, one of a kind, and that don't cost very much money. Because let's face it, I'd rather buy a lamp that costs less then twenty dollars and put the rest of my money away for a fabulous bag ;)

I bought these vintage looking shoe boxes at TJ-Maxx for two dollars! I was just browsing, looking for a pretty jewelry box but stumbled upon these pretties instead. I already put two pairs of shoes in them and they look so great in my closet. I wouldn't recommend using these for all shoes. I like shoe racks or clear containers to keep them orderly and neat. But a couple of these to house my special pairs = perfect! The other box was also found at TJ-Maxx. I put my favorite scarves in it.


  These little trinkets were on a sale cart at Pier One Imports. I liked the little box that resembles an old book. I am still on the hunt for the perfect looking jewelry box to store my nicer peices in, but this will do for now. I used it for my Chanel earrings and my giant YSL Arty. The baby pink eiffel tower figurine is actually a piggy bank! I am keeping it on my vanity, just as a reminder that I must visit Paris one day ;)


How do you like to store your jewelry, shoes...anything really? I would appreciate any tips! Any jewelry box ideas or places I should look? Remember, I want something vintage inspired and also one that isn't too large! Thank you girls.

This is all I'm doing today. Catching up on blogs and YouTube, reading the new issues of my favorite magazines, sipping my white chocolate mocha, and writing in my notebook. I hope those of you who also have the day off are doing something you enjoy, and having your favorite day.

The weather has been so beautiful this week here in sunny Califonia. What better way to celebrate a warm day in January than by wearing a dress? These gams haven't seen the light of day in quite a long time. Come to think of it, they haven't even seen the light of the moon. A taste of Spring to hold me over until it really arrives. I am going out tonight and I grabbed for my neutrals. My new Cyphert bag from Aldo, my best "dinner" shoes, a great skinny belt...I'm out the door in no time flat.

Have a wonderful night,
♥ Noelle
