It’s funny how I always want it to be summer in the winter, winter in the summer. The cycle never ends. I guess I can’t really complain though, the weather here is staying pretty nice. Anywho, here are a few more shots of me from the Re Collection clothing lookbook. We shot in Malibu after I came back from vacation in Hawaii so I had a slight tan, oh I miss my tan too! And I think I want that oversize leopard top!

Sheer Tee: Madewell, Cardigan: Vintage, Trousers: Zara, Belt: Gap, Jewelry: Vintage/Sogoli/Elena Cruz, Shoes: Alexander Wang

As you can tell, I love trousers! The shade of these is different from anything I own. Paired it with a sheer Madewell tee and soft wool cardigan. I’m making my Alexander Wang’s more winter friendly with socks, even though it still doesn’t really feel like winter. There has been lots and lots of sunshine, perfect weather to start off the new year!

These are 8 pairs of my favorite shoes that I wear all the time. I love shoes so much!

Looking back, I think Menswear was the most inspiring look for me in 2009. I love the trousers, blazer, and button-up look. It’s very relaxed and quite comfy! These pieces have really filled up the extra space in my closet. It is my go-to look when I want something classic and chic. The tuxedo looks sooo good on both men and women when done correctly. I mean, how amazing did Daniel Day-Lewis look in the movie “Nine?” I fell in love with how he wore the skinny tie and tailored suit! Menswear inspired clothing for young women really blew up in 2009 and will remain one of my favorite looks by far!

As for now, I am excited for what 2010 will bring. I’m looking forward to continuing posting on here and sharing my love of fashion with you all. I’ll be spending time this coming year traveling overseas and I cannot wait to share my experiences with you. I wish you all the best of luck this year. Happy New Year everyone!

Tulle Dress: Eli Tahari, Tights: We Love Colors, Shoes: Via Spiga

These gorgeous tights were given to me from the amazing tights brand We Love Colors! I love the bold red hue so much. I haven’t been able to find the perfect shade of red tights for quite a while so I was so excited when We Love Colors said they were sending me a pair in Scarlet Red. I am lusting over the material as well. It’s soft and a little thicker, perfect for the chilly days. I paired these with my tulle Eli Tahari dress and a black blazer. I cannot wait to wear this tulle dress again in the Spring time because it really looks angelic in the sun! And I love how tulle is coming back in a big way, with all the new Rodarte dresses floating about! 🙂

I also want to thank you all for the great feedback on my blog. It makes me really happy to post and share my style! Thank you!
Have a happy NEW YEAR!
