Song of the Day

The Lumineers - Ho Hey

I can listen to this song on repeat all day.  I love it.

Older and Bolder

Vintage shopping is a lot of work but you can find some great items.  A newly launched website is taking the work out of vintage shopping by putting their vintage items online to buy.  Popular LA store Wasteland recently launched their online store and it is chock full of great clothing, shoes and accessories.  When I looked at it I found new and vintage pieces that I loved.  Just a tip: the vintage items go fast so if you like something you have to get it right away or it will be gone.

Sheer Madness

Sheer blouses are elegant but sexy at the same time.  The look of a button up blouse is timeless but when the blouse is sheer it makes the timeless piece trendy and fresh.  A shocking color like the orange blouse below is great if you want to make a statement.  The other one, which you can find here, is more of a subdued color that looks classic and luxe.  

Song of the Day

Birdy - People Help the People

This girl's voice is fantastic and the meaning behind the song is a perfect sentiment to bring into the new year.

New Years Resolutions

I personally do not make any resolutions for the new year, but I know that many people do and usually those resolutions revolve around getting in shape.  In the resolution spirit I decided to dig up some great bikinis to get you thinking about summer and your beach bods.  These swimsuits will be sure to get you to the gym.  The first suit I love because of its interesting shape, I love how the top is a bustier shape and not just a traditional bandeau top, and the print is amazing.  Tribal print is a favorite of mine and it works really well on this swimsuit.  The second bikini is a more traditional shape but it is an awesome print.  I would be excited to wear either of these to the beach this summer!

Hammered Gold

I love the look of hammered gold jewelry.  It has always stuck me as beautiful in an earthy bohemian way. Hammered gold cuffs are my favorite but rings follow closely.  Below I picked out some amazing pieces in all price ranges.  Hammered gold jewelry is great to add to any outfit to add a luxe but low key statement.  You can find the rings here, the cuff here, and the earrings here.

Song of the Day

Bon Iver - Holocene 

After all the craziness of New Years Eve I thought a mellow song would be a welcome change.  Enjoy this beautiful song and beautiful video!

Puppy Love

This is my cutie new puppy named Zephyr!

Song of the Day

Beyonce ft. J Cole - Party

Have a great New Years!

Leopard Love

One of my favorite prints of the year was leopard.  It turned into a neutral this year and was a great base for mixing prints.  It made a statement but was easy to wear and went with almost everything.  Below are three great leopard print options.  The skirt is perfect for layering.  The bandeau top is daring but would be really fun to wear for a night out with a high waisted black skirt and a colorful belt.  Finally the shoes.  These are the shoes I have been eyeing for a long time.  They would spice up any outfit and I think come the new year I will just have to get them.

Best of 2011: Mixing Prints

My favorite trend for 2011 was mixing prints.  The look was seen on the runways, celebs, and in the real world.  Mixing prints makes a bold statement and adds so much depth and intrigue into a look. This is one trend I hope sticks around far after the new year.

Song of the Day

Lana Del Rey - Born To Die 

It seems appropriate to end the year on a song by a singer who I know will become a huge star in the next year.  Listen to her song Born To Die which is fantastic and not to mention the video is pretty cool as well.

In The Clutch

So many clutches so little time.  Luckily I have picked out a few fabulous envelope clutches that will add pizzaz to any outfit.  I love the look of oversized envelope clutches and how they can easily transform a little black dress from boring to interesting in seconds.  A bright color or great texture clutch can really make an outfit.  Here are my top choices. You can find them here, here, and here.

Song of The Day

Feist - How Come You Never Go There

This song is captivating, airy, and beautiful and I have been playing it on repeat all day. 

Sparkle and Shine

Today I was figuring out my New Years Eve plans, which I know is very last minute, and it got me worried about what I was going to wear when the clock strikes twelve.  I am a fan of anything sequined or sparkly for New Years and that is why the sequined jacket is great.  It has tons of sparkle and glam and for a fairly reasonable price. What I was more excited for was the amazing shorts I found while looking for New Years inspiration.  Now these shorts, I admit, are a little strange but they are fantastic.  The color, the fabric, and the fringe all work to make these great party pants.  Wearing these for New Years would be a bold way to enter 2012 but why not make a bold statement to start the year off right! You can find the jacket here and the shorts here.
