Last day. Happy New Year everyone and I won't see you with a new outfit for a while;) Some required vacation from fashion. Let's the celebration begins!!!



WEARING: JEANS FIORUCCI; TOP BCBG; SWEATER was my grandmother whom I never had a chance to meet. SHOES GUESS; EARRINGS a gift from my mother.



Thank you all for supporting this blog and taking the time to scan through the pictures or write comments. Don't forget to tune in January 9 when Hilary and I will be reporting from Jacksonville on our adventure and our future.

Buon Anno!

 

It's the last day of the diet... Whoa! It makes me so
excited to start this NEW DECADE with such a fresh, cleansed
perspective. In many ways, I feel like a new lady. New hair do, new
outlook, and new approach to how I present myself to the world. I
feel like I have shed some major layers, both tangible and
spiritual. I have a fun outfit for tonight (which I will definitely
post), but wanted to get this up before the night got lost in a
haze of bubbly good times.





It warmed up
substantially just in time for the new year. Wearing cream and pink
tank dress from H&M, grey Banana cardigan and moccasins.
Easy and breezy, buy now I'm ready for some bling! Happy New Year!
Been nice knowing you 2010.

I have been eying the clog trend for a while now. The thing about trends is that they are great and they are also dangerous. If you follow them too closely you run the risk of being... dare I say it... "trendy". But if you don't follow them at all, well, then you run the risk of being... dare I say even worse... "out of touch".

Anyway, I have wanted a pair of clogs for a while now. Love the vintage throwback, love the chunky yet girly feel to them, and I really adore anything that has some semblance of a woodland creature.









These clogs came to me in the form of an undersized jacket exchanged for cash which then purchased these lovelies on sale at DSW. Actually, on clearance. I am [now] a full supporter of not buying things just because they are marked down, but when a gem lands in your lap, you polish it up and take it home with you.

I am also wearing my Silence + Noise jeans, a new BCBG top given to me for Xmas by my sis and a scarf that was given to me by my step bro. [I have some fashion forward siblings!] The mixed prints is another trend I've been into, but haven't really tried. These together kind of remind me of Gretchen Jones from the latest season of Project Runway.



Anyway, it is nice to have some new things to wear. I am so grateful for our break from shopping. It has genuinely been a cleansing experience. But I am ready for it's end. Ready for the fresh start and to redefine what shopping and clothes and consumerism and my closet mean to me.

What a perfect day to celebrate the end of this blog. New Year's eve.



I wanted to share two things today. Both custom-made. The first is the hat. I love this hat. My mom's friend made it. Literally she made it. I love it. Second, the necklace. I made it myself. It's super simple, but I like it. It looks very good with summer dresses or black dresses. I think I might add a chain or two. T-shirt from Zara. I am wearing Miss Sixty jeans.

Happy New Year y'all!!

You know how when you get something new that you just love you want to wear it every day for a week and a half? Well that is me right now. So, sorry for the redundancy, but whats a girl to do? Deny herself the joy of wearing the same thing over and over again? Pshh!

Had a wonderfully decadent day. Went to the spa at the Ritz Carlton [oh la la]. Ate a delicious lunch of an open faced sandy on 12 grain bread with shaved turkey breast, swiss cheese, asparagus, tomato, and avocado topped with spicy mayo at Gourmet Gourmet in Amelia Island. Took a NAP. [!!!!!!] Ate loads and loads of crab legs and shrimp and oysters at Sliders in Atlantic Beach. And topped the night off with a new black ale at Intuition Ale Works. While playing Jenga. [La ti da.]



Wearing forest green skinny cargos, new BB Dakota sweater, black scarf and moccs.



Beachy.



A disproportionate amount of butter.



Leaning tower of Jenga.



JENGA mother effing bee's!

Three mo' days. I promise to be more creative and to not wear this sweater again in that time period. I should be able to hold out for three days. Plus, it will be in the SEVENTIES. Heck to the yes.
