Glamour Obsession: Neon

I'm currently obsessed with all things neon and bright so read more about it here today on La Dolce Vita!!!  I love to hear from you so leave a little comment too!  

All That Glitters is Gold

{can i own this dress please?}

I'm still having a gold moment, totally and utterly obsessed with it!  I think everything should be covered in gold!  Let's all wear more gold!  Here's how to rock it...

 Gold stacked bangles

 Chains galore with denim and white tee = super hot!

 I want this made into wallpaper for an entryway, it's totally gaudy, but who cares???  

 I've been searching for a gold etagere like this one to display books, absolutely stunning!

 Daily jewelry with lots of layers

 Straight outta Studio 54

Gold Sequins make me so happy

 Green and gold is my current fave!  Gold contrasts so well with green.

Someone left their glitter slipper...you party animal you!

Glamour Obsession: Chanel 2.55 Jumbo Bag

Hi Everyone!  I hope you are having a smashing holiday season!  Today I am contributing over on La Dolce Vita about my current obsession, the Chanel 2.55 Jumbo Bag.  Be sure to stop by and say hello and read more about it here! 

What's on your wish list? 

I'm a Winner!

I never win anything.  So when Paloma from La Dolce Vita told me I was the winner of a brand new Orange Teddie Tote from Gigi New York I was super excited and delighted!  I can't wait to receive my new tote and use it as my new diaper bag for little Barron.  Be sure and check out some of their other styles here!

iPhone Cases

I recently upgraded my boring black iPhone case while passing through Nordstrom a few weeks ago.  Although I believe spending $40 bucks on plastic is a total waste, I was suckered by the unexpectedly cool design I decided to purchase (read more to see what I bought)!  Then I started cruising the internet and found these styles from Iomoi that I am absolutely in love with!     

I totally want this one with the leopard and gold crest.  Love the pink and orange color combo too!

...and here's the Rebecca Minkoff style that I bought!  I totally love the snow leopard print that reminds me so much of my favorite fabric by Hinson.

Any of these would make great little stocking stuffers!!!

Restoration Hardware: The Gallery

I miss West Hollywood (at times).  Back in the days when I worked at the PDC I used to walk down Robertson to the shops on Beverly Blvd. and just hang.  I rarely make it east past Beverly Glen these days since I work in Westwood.  So when I got the mega heavy new Restoration Hardware catalog for The Gallery, I was intrigued.... 

Once the flagship location for Williams Sonoma Home, the property has been converted into a one-stop shopping mecca for all things Home.  The back parking lot is now a stunning garden complete with hanging chandeliers.

Inside there are fabrics, paints, accessories, bedding, and furniture galore.  The dark gray and neutral palette seriously has me swooning!  

 There's an organic tea salon...

 and a fresh floral boutique...

 ...and of course, tons of beautiful pieces of furniture perfectly styled.

 This is by far my favorite room.  I'll take the giant chandelier and tufted sofas.  I seriously am eyeing the tufted Chesterfield.  

 ...and don't forget their bedding.  

I love the simple and clean lines of the sheets and duvets.  It's not fussy or prissy, and definitely has enough masculinity to balance the feminine lines of the furniture.  I am drooling over this bed.  I will definitely be making the trek over to WeHo soon to have a look for myself.

Rebirth of Cool: Saucy Glossie

I love fashion bloggers.  I stumbled upon Lindsey Calla's blog Saucy Glossie last summer while pregnant and was so inspired by all her adorable fashion ensembles that I couldn't wait to recreate them!

Well, a few weeks ago I was pleasantly surprised to see Lindsey on TV as the spokesperson for TJ MAXX!  How cool is that??!!  It really goes to show that regular individuals can have such a huge impact on advertising.

I will admit, that when I see Lindsey pair super cute wide legged pants from New York and Company on her blog, I actually do go into the stores to find the same exact items to create looks at more affordable prices.

I'm also curious to step inside a TJ MAXX to find affordable name brand pieces at lower prices, thanks to Lindsey.  So great job Lindsey and TJ Maxx for a really well executed ad campaign!  I'm pretty much sold and will definitely be stopping by some stores this Fall!

This Fall

I want to sport this look.  I am head over heels for tans and grays,  cozy neutral colors, and wide legged pants.   This outfit becomes a lot less intimidating, yet unbelievably casual and glamourous with the mix of neutrals and of course topped off with fur (or faux fur for my budget)!

Big chunky cowl neck camel sweater, with big gold watch, lots of chain bracelets, and brown leather is a must.  This will be my uniform this Fall...lol. 

And let's not forget the mile long bell bottom jeans skimming the pavement, paired with platforms and some sort of crazy bohemian fur vest, topped with a simple gray v-neck!!!  Bring on the Fall weather already!!!  

Timeless

I want this watch.  Oh Hello, again blog friends!!!  Yes I've been completely consumed for the past few weeks with other things like managing a full-time career with motherhood, and balancing it out with lots of leisurely things on the weekends (like shopping)!  I love watches and this Cartier Tank is on my wish list!  I think it's classic, timeless, and elegant.  Jackie O used to wear this style and so did Princess Diana.  I just love the gold face with the Roman numerals and the black crocodile band.

I love how it looks paired on the same arm with a bracelet.  It's so lady like and sophisticated.  Worn daily is totally appropriate for the office, or worn casually paired with jeans and a tee, it even works with a cocktail dress.  Here are some other watch styles and looks that I absolutely love...    

Gold watch, gold bracelets, gold signet ring, utter perfection!

Gucci Westman wears her Cartier Tank with a brown leather band,  and gold signet ring paired with wedding bands.  I love seeing how other people wear their daily jewelry pieces in a unique way.

I love this classic orange Hermes style paired with lots of bracelets!

This one has me swooning!  Big gold watch and an Hermes enamel cuff perfectly complement each other!  I just wish the prices of gold weren't sky rocketing right now because these pieces are almost double what they were a few years ago.

And of course, there's the gold Rolex that is at the top of the price range.  I tried on this bad boy at the Rolex store in Century City and it's a whopping $28k!!!  It's so beautiful though and I love how Posh rocks it!  Digging her chic short 'do, black tee, and leather leggings.  I spy a black and gold Hermes enamel bracelet on her right arm!

Rachel Zoe's men's Cartier watch is gorgeous!  Again, I love how she styles her wedding rings with other cool pieces of jewelry.  Chick has style.

YSL Arty Ring

I've had my eye on this bad boy for many months now,  and I've finally found they are available online at Saks Fifth Avenue!  The YSL Arty Ring is an absolute statement making stunner!  As you may or may not know, I collect turquoise (and lots of it)!  The combo of gold and turquoise has the best energy and mixes so well with other pieces.  It's the epitome of sophisticated bohemian chic that I love!  Here are a few other YSL styles I adore...  

This look is seriously hot, I love the red, mixed with blue, green and black accents!  I spy a red Hermes cuff bracelet that I'm coveting these days.
