Are you trying the trend? I haven’t tried it myself, thought I want to. I think it can look very chic when done right as shown here. I’m working on trying to perfect my version.

I’m Flattered…

I have exciting news! A local lookbook/blog called StyleBy.Me asked me to be a local voice for them, posting once a week. It’s a very cool idea and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.

For a little background, “StyleBy.Me is just that; your style, by you, for you, displayed for your city to see.  With StyleBy.Me, you can browse through the latest styles from real people within your community, showcase your own personal style, and be inspired!”

Today they published my bio as seen below.

Payton Rosenzweig has been wearing high heels since the age of two. She was brought up in Fayetteville, Arkansas with two younger brothers by a very stylish mom. In her youth she refused pants and wore vintage to school dances. After graduating from Tulane University in 2007, she moved back NWA but is still involved in a love affair with New Orleans. Payton has always loved cosmetics and now works in the beauty industry for a mass brand. As of late, her blog prettypay, has gotten over 1,000 views per week and is focused on fashion, style, music, food, décor and beautiful things. She is newly engaged to a very handsome young man and they are planning an August wedding. She loves champagne, hats, dinner parties, fresh flowers, platforms, live music, dresses with cinched waists and bargain hunting. Payton tries to find inspiration in everything she encounters and always likes to dress for the occasion – whether it’s the theater or the rodeo.

Payton tends to gravitate towards classic feminine silhouettes by Chanel, ODLR and Prada but also likes to switch it up with menswear, vintage and utilitarian. Her favorite styles right now include strong shoulders, peter pan collars, cigarette pants, cat-eye sunglasses, dapper men and (as always) reinvention.

The blogs she is most inspired by are The ManRepeller{this is glamorous} and Dustjacket Attic.

NYC/The Dress

NYC was wonderful. It was fabulous to be with friends and family and I felt very spoiled. I’m a bit exhausted today but so thrilled that I found the dress!

A few pictures from the trip…

I’m feeling pangs of envy as I look at these images. Sometimes less is more and sometimes more really is more. Maybe not everyday, but occasionally I do want to pile on all of the gems and jewels I love. Don’t you?
