Jonathan in Paris

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure to style a shoot with my dear friend Jonathan and fabulous photographer, Lauren. Here are a few shots from the fun, more are sure to follow!

Looking Back: 2010's Best-Dressed

images: style.com

I am a seriously sentimental kind of girl. Moving out of an apartment, taking old clothes to the thrift shop, flipping through childhood photos - it can all bring on the tears! The end of the year is no different. Each New Year I am faced with the fact that another year has passed and I get a bit weepy-eyed about the good times that have occurred. But since there's not a thing one can do, eventually we embrace the changing times. Tommy Ton took a look through the stylistic wonders of 2010 and came up with a list that no one could argue with. Above are my favorites...Mirsolava is always a favorite of mine, Shala already dropped my jaw with this photo earlier this year and ADR is unstoppable. 

What are some of your favorite fashion memories from 2010?

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I hope everyone eats a bit too much and gets all that you wished for!

Black is the New...Black

(beanie, scarf - h&m homme | jacket - h&m /  rainboots - target | leggings - american apparel ) 

Though I would love to add color into my winter wardrobe, it seems that black is what always makes the final cut when wrapping up for the cold weather outside.

La Dolce Vita

These pieces from Morganne Bello's newest collection, Dolce Vita, are topping my "never gonna happen" section of my Christmas list. But ooh, are they pretty to look at.

Virtually Dressing

Sometimes getting dressed is just not an option. Sitting at home sick, slurping on some homemade soup (made by the boyf) and virtually getting dressed on Polyvore - the only way I was going to get out of my pajamas in any matter of speaking. The All Saints trousers, Mirabella studded jacket and Alberto Guardiani lipstick heels make my beat just a bit faster.

Reflection

Isn't this photo totally magical? I could look at it forever. 

Wrap Me Up In Your Love

Okay, I am officially inspired. I have been DYING to find a red scarf EXACTLY like this one. Seriously. I have been searching shops, flea markets, you name it, to find a scarf just like the one above. I'm actually not sure how much more to express this fact...I want it! Punky B just went DIY with it and made her own...I'm not sure I have that type of dedication in me, but at this point, who knows!? I neeeeed this scarf.

Fast-Fashion Addiction

Zara is giving Starbucks a run for their money on who really owns the streets of Paris. Always a die-hard fan of Zara's fast-fashion, even I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the reality that I enter a Zara store multiple times a week. The store is completely unavoidable. There is one in the path of my route to work, school, coffee, wherever, everyday. Yet, I'm just not sick of it. Oh no. I have picked up quite a few items I've been wanting to share with you, but as I'm sure you're sick of hearing, the cold has practically got me running for cover! There are so many pieces this season that just say, "Wear me!" Like that little red number...ooh how many times I've thought of you! 

Is there anything that's got you head over heels this season?

Seine Chic

Yet another reason why I want to cut my long locks. How cool does this chick look?

Saturday Stroll

 

(shirt, sweater - h&m | shoes - F21 | jeans - gap )

In between serious blasts of rain and wind, the clouds cleared and Paris had a beautiful Saturday afternoon. The boyf and I decided to take a stroll around the neighborhood and headed up to Montmartre for some vin chaud (can I say, delicious?!). Though I hate being a total tourist, I couldn't help but find serious amusement in these street performers. The guy above was juggling with a fish on his head! Crazy....

Come To Mama

Well, helloooo.

Winter Doesn't Mean A Thing

Another reason to love Paris? Weather means nothing to these girls. Rain or shine, the legs are out and the heels are on. I don't quite have it in me yet, I'm a California girl after all, but I am sure jealous that they don't seem to feel the cold. Aka: I'm jealous that they are so bad ass.

Elle Decor Showroom, San Francisco

images: casasugar

For the past few weeks I have been scouting out items for to decorate our new little apartment without much luck. I know that all good things take time, but man, I just want it finished already! (I'm not one for patience, hehe). Especially when I see perfectly put homes like the one designed for the Elle Decor Showroom in San Francisco. Located in the uppity St. Francis Wood neighborhood, the 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom home was completely remodeled and vamped up by numerous famed Bay Area designers. Though the $30 entrance fee seems a bit steep just to tour a home, I would probably do it if I were in the Bay. I need the inspiration! Decorating a tiny apartment is much harder than I thought it would be, I was certain I would find things that would be "perfect" with ease. What. Was. I. Thinking?

If you know of any places in Paris that are worth checking out, holler!
