On the Catwalk...TGIF

Happy Friday everyone! So sorry for the LONG delay with blog posts around here. I haven't really gone anywhere and I have also not felt very camera ready. Hopefully that will change soon, one way or another.

We celebrated hubby's birthday at the end of March and while I was not in the mood to party, I was excited to wear some fabulous Loubs.







They attracted quite a lot of attention to my feet, which always makes me feel a little uncomfortable when people keep looking at my feet. But I guess it comes with the territory. Fab shoes = lots of comments.

What I wore:
Black tee fron Nordstrom
JBrand waxed venom skinnies
Christian Louboutin Batik Python Lady Peeps

Life has been tough lately. 2010 and so far 2011 have been an emotional ride. I'm hoping things are going to get better soon and I'll feel like myself again.

It's going to be a gorgeous weekend here in SoCal, hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

On the Catwalk...Valentine's Style

Saturday night the hubs and I celebrated Valentine's Day with a delicious dinner at Crustacean in Beverly Hills. OMG, I had never been there before and wow the food was amazing! The decor was beautiful and most importantly the service was impeccable. Can't wait to go back!

I was really looking forward to going out and having a great time together. I was also thrilled to wear my new DVF "Lexi" jacket for the first time. Originally saw her at full price in September and patiently waited until sale season. Late December I strolled into Neiman's and there she was; crammed into a sale rack I spotted her from a mile away. I ran and grabbed her and could not believe that not only was she my size, but on sale plus an additional mark down! I practically ran over the sales lady as I headed to the register lol. Sorry for the dramatics, but I am sooooo excited to own this jacket!













What I wore:
DVF "Lexi" jacket- Neiman Marcus
Black silky tank- Blush
JBrand Venom waxed skinnies- Neiman Marcus
Christian Louboutin Rouge Biancas- Blue Fly
Chanel necklace

P.S. I also got a hair cut! My stylist chopped off quite a bit, but he still refused to cut as much as I wanted him too.

Happy Valentine's Day!

On the Catwalk...@ Rockwell

Friday night was our Best Man's birthday. We celebrated with about 100 of his closest friends at Rockwell in Hollywood. It's always fun to see everyone, but I was also excited to wear my new Elizabeth & James blazer with my new Rebecca Taylor leopard tank. Thanks to a small collection of Neiman's gift cards I had acquired, these purchases came out to be better then a "buy one get one free" deal.







The quality of these two pics are not great and my head is kind of chopped off in one, but I still love them because one of my besties decided to give me a little photoshoot :)




What I'm wearing:
Elizabeth & James white blazer from Neiman's
Rebecca Taylor leopard tank from Neiman's
Shiney black leggings from American Apparel
Christian Louboutin Madame Butterfly booties- last seen here
Black Louis Vuitton epi clutch


Not in a very chatty mood today, it's Monday, it's raining, I'd rather be home watching re-runs of The O.C. and the original 90210.....

On the Catwalk...Bridal Shower

Saturday was one of my childhood friend's bridal showers. It was a boiling hot SoCal day and the last thing I wanted to do was get dressed up. But I managed to wear something somewhat airy to prevent fainting on a hot August day.








What I wore:
Dress by Charlie Jade from Nordstrom (My 2 year old niece picked it out!)
YSL Tributes in black patent- Love these, need more colors!
Louis Vuitton epi clutch
Grey patent belt from Forever 21

Short post today, sorry guys. I hurt my knee and the thought of not being able to wear 5 inch stilettos this weekend makes me want to cry.

On the Catwalk....Sin City!

Our second night in Vegas we went to a lounge called Taboo in the MGM hotel. It's been there forever so it wasn't as grossly packed as all the newer clubs and lounges. We had our own little area reserved where we could sit and observe all the bumping and grinding going on right before our eyes. It was an interesting site to see, but now on to what you all really want to see, what I wore....









What I wore:
Zip front hot pink and black tank from Urban Outfitters
Black shorts from Blush
Black patent YSL Tributes from Neiman's

Tomorrow I'll be sharing pics from Ditch Fridays @ The Plams hotel, if you've never been you must check it out at least once!

Is it Friday yet?

Sale season is here!

It's that time again, it only happens twice a year and I am usually so excited! However I am still trying to accomplish my 3 Month Challenge and I will be going to Vegas in 3 weeks! So I will shop vicariously through all of you.

FYI...

Stop Fake Christian Louboutin

You all know I am a huge fan of Msr. Louboutin and his gorgeous red soles. This is not about being a snob or a label wh*re, this is about the honest fact that buying fake products directly contributes to terrible working conditions and child labor.

Sure you may feel that buying that knock off Louis Vuitton from Canal Street isn't hurting anyone, but that loss of $1000 trickles down to promoting child labor and other illegal activities.

If you are lusting after a designer pair of shoes or handbag, save up for it and scout the sales each season. You can always find a fabulous pair of shoes or a great bag at any of the designer sales at Barneys, Neiman's, Nordstrom, Saks etc. Amazing deals are also always popping up online at The Out Net, Gilt, Blue Fly and many more.

On the Catwalk...The Bazaar at the SLS Hotel

Friday night, I went to dinner with three of my girlfriends. This dinner was planned two months in advance and we went to The Bazaar by Jose Andres @ the SLS Hotel. The food was amazing as always, mouth watering to be exact. Along with delicious sangria and great company, this was the perfect atmosphere for a photo shoot.



















What I'm wearing:
Black top from Blush
White BCBG Bandage skirt from Bloomies
Christian Louboutin watersnake ADs
Louis Vuitton black epi clutch
Alexis Bittar earrings from Neiman's

***Tomorrow is a big day! All you tpf-ers know what I'm talking about! I will report back with as many pics and details as possible!

On the Job...Because I'm bored

I'm currently on a business trip and seriously bored out of my mind. So I have decided to share two goodies. The first, Rebecca Minkoff Special Order MAC in black patent. I paid for this back in October and it just arrived now. I had actuallt forgotten about it lol.



I love this bag because I can wear it as a shoulder bag, cross body or as a clutch. The black patent quilted MAC is the closest I will get to this for the forseeable future.

The beauties below are a result of what happens when I spend the day at Fashion Island with my mom, help her pick out stunning earrings to buy with her $50 Neiman's gift card, subsequently find these GORGEOUS earrings and hear the sales lady say she will honor the $50 gift card for these too, so mom was nice enough to buy them for me! Alexis Bittar Montauk Wave Link earrings. They are so Miami circa Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface. I can't wait to wear them in the summer time!

The Most Comfortable Heels Ever!

I feel like I'm cheating on Msr. Louboutin, but I cannot hide my excitement about these gorgeous beauties. After contemplating for over a year and hearing so many girls say they are really comfortable, I had to give them a try. So I headed to Neiman's and tried on the YSL Tribute Platfrom Sandals in Black Patent. No joke, they feel like you are walking on a cloud! I don't know what it is and I don't really care. I could wear these all day long. They are perfect for summer and go with so many different outfits. Being 5'7 I thought I'd feel like a glamazon in these 5 inch plus platforms, but thankfully I don't feeling like I'm towering over everyone and even better I do not feel like the leaning tower of Pisa ready to tip over at any given moment lol. I am really picky when it comes to what I slip onto my feet, but the YSL Tributes definitely get my approval!

On the Catwalk... Hubby's Birthday Part Deux!

Every year the hubs and his childhood friend who share the same birthdate, have a huge joint birthday celebration. Birthday #32 was no exception. We had reserved a small restaurant in Sherman Oaks for the private party for the 2 Birthday boys and about 100 of their closest friends. They both had a blast and are already talking about what to do next year. Boys will be boys.
But now on to more important things, like what I'm wearing :) This post is pretty picture heavy because I just couldn't decide which to include.


please excuse my black bra from peaking out lol



What I'm wearing:
Turquoise tank from Blush
Black leather skirt by Leifsdottir from Neiman's
Christian Louboutin ADs
Rebecca Minkoff purple iguana MAC w/ Triple Chain
Alexis Bittar turquoise earrings from Gilt

A Little bit of Lace & Leather

My flats are usually reserved for work, but these beauties were just too special to pass up. I had originally seen them in Elle magazine in February and made a mental note to keep an eye out for them. Then when I went to NYC earlier this month, I stepped off the elevator at Bergdorf's and they were literally the first thing that caught my eye. The Christian Louboutin "Air Loub" Lace flats literally feel like you are walking on air. I LOVE them, so pretty and chic. I can dress them up or down which is the best part, but these beauties will never be worn to work. They deserve to be out in the beautiful sunlight, not hidden under a desk for 8 hours.





This Leifsdottir studded leather mini was a great sale find at Neiman's. I have been wanting a leather skirt since fall, but none of them seemed quite right...until now. The leather feels like butter and is not too short or too long. It will be debuted this weekend when we go out for hubby's birthday, outfit post will follow.

Hope this is the start of a great week!

Friday Lust List...Some Missions Completed

Yay it's Friday! More importantly Spring is here and the weather in SoCal is awesome right now. This is why we live here. I was lucky enough to mark some items off my lust list in the past few months. Some items were replaced by others....

Anthropologie dress, last seen here.

Perfect Spring wardrobe addition just in time for wedding season.

Rebecca Taylor top last seen here. So happy I got this top when Bloomies was having their HOT promotion, so I got $50 off! They were out of the pretty blue, but I realized I have a lot of blue and "oatmeal" turned out to be a pale blush pink, which is so pretty. Yay for me!


And a FAB sale find at Neiman's
I originally wanted this dress, but it was just not for me. Then when I saw the Erosa Dress in Miranda Ruffles Mini ON SALE it was the perfect replacement. Love it!


That's all for now, modeling pics of these gorgeous pieces will be coming soon. Happy Friday!

xoxo
