Blue Dream

Blue Pearl dress via Madison LA. Chloe Sevigny x Opening Ceremony coat (extra 20% off!). Nine West heels (similar here). Nixon watch. Nars 'Roman Holiday' lips. 

Powder blue is the color I'm sticking to this season, so if you're already sick of it (only if you're a monster, JK), sorry I'm not sorry you won't be seeing the last of it here! 

Back a couple of posts, I talked about knocking any powder blue pieces into my hands and there it stays, much to my wallet's chagrin. Well this charming cropped coat is a perfect example of one of those pieces. I stepped into Opening Ceremony about a week and a half ago with a half hour in between meetings. I went in only to skim the shoes for a quick second and ended up combing their insanely endless racks of designer clothes on extreme sale. They still had so much amazing stuff, even though this is nearly the last leg of the sale event! I naturally ended up late for my meeting (shhh, don't tell them where I was, I sorta fibbed) because I had caught hold of this coat and another powder blue Kenzo skirt that was to die for, but I had to try the skirt on in a bigger size which didn't end up working out. This Chloe Sevigny x Opening Ceremony coat however, came home with me and it's been on my shoulders ever since. Now I see it's even further discounted online (ugh hate when that happens, but awesome for you guys!) AND you get an ADDITIONAL 20% off (seriously WTF). So basically if I were you, I'd grab this and run.

Adore Me Giveaway

Adore Me Jodie Teddy. Natori robe (old, love this new one).

If you haven't assembled your Valentine's Day gear yet (ahem), you're in luck. 

Adore Me is a new membership-based (however commitement-phobe friendly) lingerie website that offers beautiful, tempting lacy things at seriously affordable dollar signs. For the price of one bra from Victoria's Secret, you can get a comfortable, quality bra and matching bottoms or find adorable lounge-y pieces like teddys and slips. If I'm going to skimp my money on something, it would NOT be my underwear because underneath it all, it can make or break the spring in my step. Luckily my wallet has no issue at all when it comes to Adore Me's constantly updated selection of pretty lingerie...

...and this teddy makes me skip. 

If not for living with others, I'd be comfortably stuck in it all day. Its boy-short cut makes it less a bunny uniform and more a cheeky, no-nonsense declaration to look cute while netflixing with a full glass of cab.

So seriously, check out their sweet Valentine's collection; you'll love being in your skin as much as your S.O. will. Aaand, one of you lucky gals will be able to win a little something of your choice from Adore Me, just in time for the big day (and night)! Enter below to win. Winner will be picked next Monday 2/3. Good luck!

A Good Hair Day


Having a good hair day is so much more possible these days thanks to my new ghd styler from their beautiful jewel collection. 

My hair has gotten to that extreme length of no return because of my laziness and anxiety in the treacherous journey in finding that holy grail hair stylist. This has gone on for almost two years, and now I just want to honestly see how much farther my hair can go. But it's at the point where my hair is an everyday struggle, a black hole for earrings, rings, and small things, a tangled mess, and a limp body in desperate need for an advanced savior.

That's where my miraculous ghd comes in.

Mermaid waves mesmerize me and this is the first time in my life I can achieve this romantic look with little effort, in just about ten minutes time with the styler's smooth contoured plates and convenient swivel cord. Yes, ten minutes! My hair routine has never been easier in the mornings. To prepare my hair for styling, I use the large ghd paddle brush to smooth and detangle the strands with ease and I protect my hair with a few drops of Prive's vanishing oil (a must!). My only tip is to move the styler pretty quickly through each section to make it a relaxed wave instead of a tight curl. For all kinds of hairstyles, you can find some great tips and tutorials here

Did I also mention this styler gets hot in just ten seconds? Everything about this is amazing and no fail. I've tried other high quality, pricy stylers, and ghd takes the cake. Invest in this, and you'll get the best return of your life.

It's A Win-Win

Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent jumper via Madison LA. Gucci clutch (similar here). Madewell belt. Schutz shoes. Nixon watch. 

Can the rest of 2014 be as good to me as it has been so far, and as good as this silk jumpsuit?

This last month has been a great experience in so many ways. The trip to the Bay Area a couple of weeks ago was for a meeting with our Accelerator advisors, which was extremely productive and mind-opening, and something I never thought I'd go through. Being on board this start-up is really, really scary because of the good chance it'll fail like any start-up ever, but that thrill for that 10% chance (or even less) of making it is what I live for (may it be my demise or fortune). 

In any case, looking fabulous is a sure way to make any situation feel like win.

LuLu*s The Great Galentine's Giveaway: Win Free Dresses for a Year!!

Day look: Lulu*s dress (similar here), Matiko sandals via Lulu*s (similar here), Quay sunglasses, Nixon watch
Night look: Lulu*s dress, Jay Adoni heels, Nixon watch, YSL lips

There's more than enough love to share on Valentine's Day than with just the boys.

Did I ever tell you how I met one of my best besties Chanelle? I'll never forget how we became friends - we roomed together for NYFW on a whim, for an entire 5 days where we started out as friendly acquaintances, and ended up having some of the funnest nights of our lives exploring the big city and naturally bonding with each other. It's not often you find someone who can be down the way you get down, right? 

Our favorite brand Lulu*s dressed us pretty for a day to celebrate us and our awesome friendship for this Galentine's Day, because honestly, boys are not gonna have all the fun. We lounged in an adorable, sunny picnic with bubbly (can't do without) and after a nap and some couch-talk, we got ready for one of those girl's nights where we can dance the night away, because we both looove to dance by the way. Chanelle and I have such different styles, but we both love Lulu*s' crazy big selection of cute dresses and everything else you need, and it was super fun coming up with matching outfits for our date day.  

Lulu*s is down with ladies celebrating ladies so they're hosting a faaab giveaway where they're giving away one free dress a month for all of 2014 to one lucky gal and her bff!! Such a great excuse to glam up in new dresses for a night out on the town every month! Don't forget everyone, come Galentine's Day, grab your BFF and toast to one of the greatest relationships in your life!

Enter here to win and good luck! http://bit.ly/dressesforayear
