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.

 

Snow Day

We have more snow in Arkansas than I can ever remember – two feet. I’m not sure if it’s record-breaking, but it is definitely hard to get out the door. As much as I love being snowed in, it’s difficult to work from home and I’m wishing I had a partner in crime!

Even my snow-loving puppy was very confused.

I hope you’re having a good day, snowed in or otherwise!

Wouldn’t this be perfect for V-day? I’ve been reading a lot lately how most men absolutely abhor Valentine’s day. Why? Is it really that bad? I understand it’s hard if you’re alone but what do those who are with someone hate so much about it. Feeling lucky that my main squeeze doesn’t mind taking me to dinner. I understand that it’s a BS holiday and that people shouldn’t show their love on only one day but I really don’t mind the standing dinner invite. It also happens to be our decided anniversary.

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…

This past Saturday was warm and sunny and such a nice reprieve from the chill that is far from over. With yet another Winter storm on the way, I am thinking ever more about Summer and savoring that lovely time whether we are there in our minds or in reality.

In Love

“Boys and girls in America have such a sad time together; sophistication demands that they submit to sex immediately without proper preliminary talk. Not courting talk- real straight talk about souls, for life is holy and every moment is precious.” — Jack Kerouac On the Road

I think I might have to add high waisted trousers, a boyfriend button-down and edgy platforms. And leggings, anyone?
