Refinery29 Style Blogger Contest

January 31, 2012 – 8:30 am

I’ve only ever entered two blog contests, one was with refinery 29 a looong time ago, and one was, well, now. I don’t now what possessed me to do it, ~~maybe I haven’t had enough coffee this morning~~ but either way it’s done. Please don’t make me be the only one with no votes! haha Seriously though, if you have a second it would mean a lot if you could just give me a vote. xox

Minimize

January 27, 2012 – 12:00 am

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about minimalism. Perhaps it’s the new year bringing that sense of purging what’s unnecessary ~~or maybe it’s just laziness~~. Upon reflection, it’s as if bigger, brighter, bolder is better, which is definitely not always the case. I’ve been inspired by European fashion for such a long time and this video from Carloline’s Mode is a perfect example of European minimalism. It’s a reminder that fashion doesn’t need to be complicated.

By the way, can we talk about these shoes?! My bf got them for me for Christmas and I am so beyond in love with them (and him) that lately I wear them every chance I get.

Inspired Creations

One of the great things about blogging is the inspiration we give to one another. Over the holidays I stumbled upon a this video from Geri over at Because I’m addicted and decided to give it a go.

Back to Life

January 23, 2012 – 12:00 am

I feel like a tornado has swept through my life lately. I tend to be a creature of routine and structure so much so that I find it hard to function when my routine is interrupted. Just as I was getting a handle on life w/o boy (aka: filling my life with so many things that I have no time to think about him at war) he returns and I have to re-learn how to have life WITH boy. Now I am figuring out how to make room for him. It’s not as easy as it would seem. (For one, boys eat. They eat and eat and never worry about weight. Does anyone else gain weight as a result of their bf?! This boy put 5lbs on me immediately! LOL So NOT cool!!)

I am certainly not complaining, I am beyond happy he is back, but bear with me as I try to find balance (and lose 5lbs! ha!)

This is an outfit I wore last week when LA was having the annual winter heat wave. Right around January every year we get an Indian summer where temps climb to 80 and we all get spring fever. This necklace was a DIY I made over the holidays. I got the idea from a popular blog and I will be sharing more on that in a separate post.
