*pastel pink & purple*
a while back, wendy brandes, famous, amazing jewelry designer & huffington post blogger, put the call out for what trend bloggers favored more for spring - neon or pastel? so, oh hey, look who decidedly & definitively showed up in the *neon* column…hahaha! *what* a shock, huh? i’ve clearly documented my love of neon again & again :)
this cute goodwill dress did let...

*boston magazine top desserts event @ the mandarin...
little known fact about me - i actually started out as a food & travel blogger. i began blogging in 2007 to document an epic trip that i took to the philippines & japan with my family…the *only* time my parents, my brothers, my husband & i were able to coordinate our seemingly unsynchable schedules & take a family vacation all together. so i thought i would blog about...

*my version of the hunger games*
i won’t lie…nor do i try to hide it…i like being a warrior princess. don’t get me wrong. as much as i love to wear frilly, poufy dresses, fully made up & hair done & *look* the part of a girl who can’t bear to chip a nail, i can’t deny the identical other half of me that likes to kick & punch stuff too…or put an arrow through a bullseye....

*high low black & grey*
i gave a quick preview of my outfit during fiesta swap, but here’s the breakdown on the details. i still love a high-low hemline…even after almost a year ago when the high-low or “mullet” term was even coined :) i think it’s just such a flattering silhouette for most body types. i can feel comfy with a short mini type skirt, yet have all that fabric to protect...

above: left to right: kristen || najeema || amy || moi || melissa
i’ve been documenting my swaps with the awesome amy & melissa of the swapaholics for years now. they’re always very well run, highly organized events with plenty of food, drink & FUN! i get to see my blogger girlfriends, be rid of clothes i no longer want (or return from previous swaps…hahaha!)...

i love florals…i love print mixing. *however* i don’t mind sleek & uncomplicated with bold standout geometric designs every now & again. this dress was another successful goodwill find with its cute, subtly tapered bubble skirt....

*blogger spa night at beaucage spa & salon*
how to be a bad blogger:
1. bring your huge DSLR but forget the battery that was still sitting in the wall charger at home :/
2. luckily, have your little point & shoot camera in your purse, but still not really take a lot of pictures
3. keep refusing all the food & wine that is heaped upon you by your lovely hosts (because you have to drive in the pouring rain...

*the yin & yang of fashion*
kind of a boring outfit i must admit. blah dark colors, no billowing shapes or silhouette, no interesting details. well, except for the lace…thank goodness at least for flowery, delicate lace.
oh, & again, as i typically do…how do i marry that subtle & diaphanous lace? with some monstrously strappy, sky high black leather wedges. hahaha! ah well…fits into my...

*resplendent in rose gold*
wearing: hugo buscati white suit blazer || LF store oriental print camisole || forever 21 neon pink bra top || asos pink pleated wide leg pants
in attending the tiffany & co blogger event, i decided to go all out with the whole rose gold theme & put on practically every rose gold accessory i own…hahaha! why not right? my philosophy is come high or stay home. when the director...

*tiffany & co rubedo blogger event*
i’m super addicted to rose gold these days. i’ll highlight some of my collection in my next outfit post. so, when i received the invite (thanks again sami!) from tiffany & co, their new mall at chestnut hill location, to celebrate their 175th anniversary and preview the new rubedo collection (plus a bonus i ended up not working late that night as usual)…i was raring to...

*hello kitty pink & gothic leather black*
oh hey, since i wrapped up the events of the goodwill blogger night, how about some outfit details as well? hahaha! this is what i wore. i’m a big fan of nude & black…or cream & black…or beige & black…you get my drift. although tonight, the whole *pink* & black thing all came together kind of weirdly unexpectedly o.O
i really wanted to wear my pink...

*goodwill boston blogger day 2012 & a 20% off...
i had been having a lot of ups & downs lately (travel & my dog’s surgery) so i was glad to get back into the blogger swing of things with this invitation from my 2 favorite boston bloggers…amy & melissa…at goodwill! the first part of the night involved shopping at the *huge* goodwill store in downtown boston. i’ve loved thrifting ever since college, so that...

*floral friday*
the weather has still been uber crappy as of late here in the boston area. so, it was quite the happy coincidence that i was invited by the swapaholics, amy & melissa, to a blogger party that they cooked up for us last night at the boston goodwill headquarters…which perked up my mood quite nicely :)
it was a SUPER fun night & learned a LOT about the behind the scenes...

*feeling blue*
it’s as true today as it has always been. i tend to fall into a mild clinical depression whenever i leave my family. i get so happy being around my parents & brothers & other family members…then i come home to boston, fall into my usual routines & realize how much i feel alone. i know i’m technically *not* with a husband & puppy that need constant attention,...

*rainy days & ombre never get me down*
i bought this coat years ago. who knew ombre would be so on trend & popular still? especially when i see some of the other dip dyed types of coats & jackets out there (asos comes to mind). i’m once again reminded why i don’t get rid of clothes very often…hahaha! you never know what will come back in style. i’m even inspired to dip dye some other pieces of...
