The Modern Fanny Pack

July 19, 2011Leave a comment

There are some things that I won’t do. There are less things that I won’t wear. A fanny pack is not one of those things. Those who know me well know that I’m unabashedly unafraid to bust them out at occasions other than a music festival or an amusement park. Some of the people dare to look down on this habit. I realize that not all fanny packs are cute or flattering, but some are! And I would like to share those with you now. Beware: some of them appear under the guise of “belt purse”.

From the Weekend

July 19, 2011October 30, 20121 Comment

It was quite an eventful weekend. We got a cake sample for our wedding cake and it tasted as good as it looks. .

A new and exciting sponsorship opportunity from BeBop Clothing. I got some goodies in on Friday and couldn’t wait to try them on – more to come!

Karaoke with Ro, my brother Hampton & his brother William. I couldn’t stop myself from singing “Alone” by Heart but regretted it later…

Ro’s mom came up bearing gifts! Including the below four poster bed frame for our room & a dining table. I’m obsessed.

Some sweet friends threw a stock the bar party for us and it was incredibly lovely. Here’s a picture with my mom. (dress – vintage from the grey dog)

Spoils from the stock the bar. Planning this wedding has certainly shown me how many people love us. I feel very special.

I hope you had a lovely weekend!

I adore these sugary-sweet images of pretty girls in hats and gloves eating confections. What’s more fun?

What I Wore: Go-To Outfit

(what i wore: dress – max & cleo, heels – forever21)

Whenever I want to look nice for work, a wedding, a party, etc and I don’t feel like trying to figure out an outfit, I have a go-to. This particular dress can be dressed up or down and can even be paired with tights in the winter. Everyone needs a go-to dress for random occasions that call for dressy, flattering and easy.

I have always, always wanted to chop ALL my hair off. I have never come close to actually doing it but it remains in my list of things I ‘have to do’. So who’s transformation is the best? I’m a big fan of Michelle Williams’ short hair but not quite as short as below. Et tu?

I adore this combo (red & white). There are so many ways to pull it off and I am constantly drawn to the colors together.

(What I Wore: dress – olive and oak, belt – vintage, stripper heels – qupid, glasses – shop ultra, bracelets – shop ultra, forever21, charm & chain, earrings – charm & chain)

Black is really my favorite color to wear. Black and/or white actually. I love that you can accessorize with anything when dealing with a blank pallet. PS: I got the black beaded bracelets stuck on my upper arm – that was cute.

Shall we dine?

July 12, 2011Leave a comment

Mealtimes are my favorite times. It’s not just about eating – it’s mostly about conversation and wine and the art of a beautiful table – but it is also about eating… One of the things I aspire to create for my home is a welcoming/chic eating area.

Heidi Klum’s Lifestyle Site

Miranda and Me

Heidi K has launched a lifestyle website for AOL among the many other things she’s involved in. She does things like a summer run challenge (running with different super models: Miranda Kerr, Coco Rocha et al) and daily outfit postings. The Cut calls it 1/2 Goop, 1/2 Oprah and I think she’s likable so I’m not too judgmental.

PS: I ran yesterday and it was a pathetic, pitiful sight. Maybe I need to run behind Miranda Kerr to get me motivated.
