Remember when I was talking about this Crosby Sutton Marc Jacobs bag on Instagram? The one that I fantasized about? The one that I couldn't live my life without? Yeah, that one. Tag! I bought it!

AND, I bought these Pierre Hardy shoes and almost returned them because I just couldn't figure out how to style them. Crazy right? But when I introduced the shoes to the bag it was a match made in beautiful blue heaven!

Memo 024: New You Everyday (NYE)

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Right about now, resolution thinking and writing swings into full affect. Now, I, for one, am all about a plan. However, some where between now and February the excitement of learning a new language, losing weight, taking cooking classes, etc. dies down. The gym classes are being attended less frequently, the Rosetta Stone has been boxed up and placed on the shelf, and ordering take out is now in.

Listen up, don't throw out the plan! You can start everyday with new goals. You didn't follow through today. Well, guess what? You can try again tomorrow. You don't have to wait until the new year to have a new you!

In the midst of those elaborate resolution plans, here's some inspiration for your New Year's Eve celebration. If you haven't noticed, I LOVED the Maison Martin Margiela for H&M Collection. I actually loved that this dress wasn't made with real sequins. It only looks like it. The length and how it hangs, it's H&M perfection.

So, what are you wearing for NYE? Short or long? Feathers or fur? Real sequins or faux sequins?

Memo 015: Funny Faces

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Anyone who knows me knows that I may or may not be a little silly. What they may not know is that even as silly, funny, charming, and debonair as I am, I can sometimes take myself a little too seriously.

I'm serious about my dreams, my feelings, and my thoughts. Making a joke or laughing out loud all day long (because my number one goal in life is to laugh all day long) doesn't mean that I'm not serious, I just have the ability to take a serious thought or situation and make it silly and fun. However, it doesn't change the fact that the thought or situation is in fact serious.

This often time carries over into my outfit selections. I can go from classic funk cutie to mixed print maven at the drop of a credit card on Black Friday. That versatility in outfits is often reflective of the mood that I am in at the moment of conception. I'm serious, silly, fun, happy, sad, funny, sarcastic and a whole gamut of emotions but mostly silly and fun! My clothes reflect that.

So, on this day and forever from now, I will continue to keep it silly and fun. Why not? Life is a little too short (and serious) to not have a little fun, play with prints, and make some silly faces.

Did I ever mention that I LOVE mixed prints? Well, I do...

I didn't recognize the theme initially but the majority of the pieces that I am wearing have...you guessed it...circles. 

AND my pinky ring makes me feel like a old school playa from the Himalayahs! Loves it!
