On my wrist.

the most delectable scent.

Lorre Rodkin "I". it's like vanilla firewood laced with patchouli.

plus, the packaging is the most elegant shade of dark brown with faux-croc.

My Mantra.. a Perfectly kept office is the sign of a misspent life.

I haven't had my coffee yet... what you lookin' at

Elle Fanning of "Somewhere".

Favorite Dress of 2010

I was lucky enough to wear this Carolina Herrera dress to the Apollo Gala this past November.
When people say some dresses make you feel like a princess, now, I can totally understand.
Accessorized with a brown CH belt and wearing probably 6 inch heels which you would never see because of the train.
This.dress.changed.my.life.

Fresh Faced and Fancy

I've never been a foundation girl.

That is however, before I went to the Giorgio Armani makeup counter and the lovely

salesperson put luminous foundation in 5.5 on my face.

when I say my skin looks glowing and model esque when i'm wearing this stuff.

i mean.

believe me.

i already have two friends who are HOOKED.

buy here

and then she said "that coat is very the Magic School Bus."........

COMPLIMENTS WOMEN GIVE, BUT THEY REALLY BE DISSING YOUUUUUUUU.

Obsessions: France Luxe & L.Erickson

I just met with the lovely Jessica of France Luxe/ L.Erickson and got a preview of the latest "it" hair accessories.
Nothing is chicer than your hair pulled back with a gorgeous barrette.
While I can't show you the spring samples. Here are a few of my other favorites that are available now on their site:

Last Call........

now is when I do my REAL sale shopping.
I've been searching for the perfect top to tuck into my new high waisted wide leg black trousers.
i love the idea of a business-y lady like look with some serious TIE DYE punch.

this proenza schouler henley is now more than 50% off on the barneys website!

favorite ingreedy:

Elderflower.

I have a big bottle of St. Germain in my kitchen for the times when that chilly glass of prosecco needs a little somethin' else.

It's just the right amount of sweetness. I am OBSESSED.

Plus a bottle of St. Germain literally looks like a piece of art. The bottle is so elegant and gothic.

Silent Snow?

one thing i don't like.
silence.
i don't find it comforting or soothing.

So on this "silent day" I am blasting White Hinderland's album through my headphones.
YOU GUYS NEED TO DLD THIS ASAP.
it is literally the most ethereal gorgeous album ever.
my favorite song?

ICARUS.

a new section I am debuting: "Remember When."

We all have had those phases.

The phases you find laughing back at you when rummaging through your high school closet.

The KoRn cd you find in the backseat of your old car.

I am embracing the "remember when's" because what is better than poking fun of yourself when you thought you were "oh so cool."

so here it goes kids..as evidence of this photo i thought was dark and edgy..

Remember when..... I was emo?

Toto, we're not in kansas anymore......

we're in new york city my pretty!  so i can trade those ruby tartlette shoes for some neutral giuseppes!

Here comes the bridal......book?

Yes here it is ladies and gents.  A Lanvin bridal notebook to keep track of 

what's hot and what's not!  

While I am not touching the alter with a ten foot pole, plenty of my friends are, and what a perfect engagement gift.

Hot- your ceremony dress, your dancing reception dress, your platforms, your maidsies, your hubs

Not- your garter (so not a fan), neon sunglasses that people hand out,  playing the song "baby got back" at your wedding, the tennis pro you've been swinging it with on the side.

whip your veil back and forth brides!

Long and Longer

Words currently in my mictionary?
Resort.
Spring.
Bright Colored Lips.
and...
LONG. LONG DRESSES. LONG SKIRTS. but not that jersey maxi-dress craze brought on by our inner-Nicole Richie's. Long sophisticated...and I can't believe I'm about to say this but..
So LONG to the mini.
R.I.P.
Here are a few of my favorites from http://www.shopbop.com/
