When I spotted this gold Sally Tseng number across the Revolve store while shopping for our blog partnership it was as though time stopped. The music came to a screeching halt, I glided over to the rack in slow motion, gently threw the glittering goodness over my shoulders and as it glistened in the light my eyes twinkled. Styling like Bea Arthur, it was an addition to my wardrobe that could be dressed up for New Year's or down for the pubs yet still perfect over summery dresses for all those long dreamy walks on the beach. Cough, cough. It is everything I want it to be and more.

p.s. - due to the new laws I'm suppose to tell you that this blazer was a gift from Revolve. Thank you Jennifer and the Revolve team! More on the Revolve blog, clickity click.

in a decade

Loving Style.com's 'What Would The ’00s Have Been Without The Olsens?' article - have a hunch some of you may too.

Can you imagine fashion without them over the last few years? Starbucks cups, turbans, the dumpster chic pandemic...

RIP Brittany Murphy.

She was only 32. How tragic. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends.

bam!

Basically, I am obsessed with this editorial. It's creative and fresh and makes all those same old same old cracky looking models laying on Persian rug deals look like absolute crap.

More like deeeeeeez to inspire the world, pweaze.

Throwing bejeweled shiny bracelets in the mix is where it's at.

10 minutes

Linguine with Clams in 10 minutes, thank you Trader Joe's! Who wants to come over for dinner?

More on the recipe here and for you Trader Joe's lover's you may want to check out their 'I Love Trader Joe's Cookbook.' I browsed through it last night and saw a meal or 40 that looked great and take no time to make.

Bottom top from Zara, pretty sure the one above is too.

out in the open

If your accessories aren't displayed in some way, may I suggest changing that? Not only does it help when getting ready but doesn't it makes for beautiful self expressive decor?

PS - Check out Maria Nilsdotter for some ohhmaaagoshhh accessories inspiration. The rings, necklaces, body chains, it's love!

all black

It's raining here in LA today and I can't tell you how good it feels. The sky is lined with beautiful rainbows, the streets full of puddles and the energy is simply calm.

The increase of all black ensembles once the change of weather hits makes me smile.
