I'm pretty sure that we needed bicycle licenses to "drive" bikes around Amsterdam. I'm not sure how I made it out alive. I literally avoided no less than seven bike on bike collisions. Amsterdamians are serious about their bicycles.

I knew that there would be a lot of walking involved on my trip to Amsterdam, so I packed flats and comfortable clothing. Your more experienced female bike "drivers" wore heels. Maybe next time...

This weekend was nothing short of UH-MAZING!

Weekend Recap:

• I was in DC 
• I love DC
• I saw 2 Chainz in concert
• I love 2 Chainz
• I attended the 2nd Inauguration of President Barack Obama
• I LOVE President Barack Obama (AND Michelle, Sasha and Malia)
• I got a parking ticket
• I do not love parking tickets...

That pretty much sums it up. 

Oh, I forgot one thing, I had a freaking BAWL!

We did a lot of walking in DC this weekend. So, flats were a must. I started with these Gold Jimmy Choo Oxford Shoes and built the outfit around them. You know I'm all about being comfortable and cute!

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?
