Welcome!

I'm excited to finally launch a digital hub to all of my stylish adventures. Here you will find a lifestyle blog highlighting my favorites in decor, fashion, accessories and beauty, as well as a look at my stylish portfolio of work as a freelance public relations/marketing professional and Stylist for Stella & Dot!

Paris Street Style

What have we got here...a few snaps from Paris Haute Couture street style: chic model-off-duty looks, to luxe outfits. I have an affinity for black on black outfits, and Arizona Muse and Anja Rubik nailed it with their leather pants and black blazer + jacket, tailored to perfection. Karlie Kloss and Olivia Palermo also spotlight leather pieces paired with a Chanel bag (on Kloss) and Louboutins (Olivia). I couldn't leave out Claire Courtin-Clarins' textured look: Christophe Josse dress, Gucci fur, Louis Vuitton bag, and D&G shoes. yum. As for Anna Dello Russo, she adds fun to her style, as per usual, wearing a Givenchy outfit and some quirky glasses. Speaking of quirky, polka dot tights add a cool element to an otherwise neutral playsuit, yes?

Angelina Jolie - Jenny Packham

Emma Stone - Alexander McQueen

Emily Blunt - Oscar de la Renta

Sophia Vergara - Marchesa

Zoe Saldana - Givenchy Haute Couture

Glenn Close - Zac Posen

Michelle Williams - Valentino

Fact: I was not thrilled with the 2012 SAG award red carpet dresses. My favorites (notice how short my 'Best Dressed' list is) were all donning different looks. From curve-hugging (Sophia Vergara) to ruffled lace tea-length skirts, (Emma Stone) the red carpet was brimming with black + vibrant colored frocks. Who was your best dressed?

It's not enough that I have major pout + beauty-envy when it comes to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, but can we discuss her insane street-style gear? I'll give you a minute to gush over this outfit: The mini Céline tote, check. A luxe leopard scarf, (I'm guessing it's Louis Vuitton or Alexander McQueen?) check. And—swoon!— those Azzedine Alaïa booties, #checkcheckcheck. Now, carry on with your weekend.

What Makes Love True by Garance Doré & The Sartorialist x Tiffany's

Audrey Hepburn refers to it as the best place on earth, where nothing bad can take place (Breakfast at Tiffany's). Marilyn Monroe sings about it (Diamonds are a Girl's Bestfriend). Eartha Kitt also sings about it with specific Christmas decoration requests (Santa, Baby). And more recently, Reese Witherspoon is proposed at the very place, ubiquitous with its trademark packaging (Sweet Home Alabama). Tiffany's.

For years, Tiffany's & Co. has been closely associated with providing (pricey, but exquisite) symbols of love for couples. Hold on, hold on—before you assume that I'm about to gush over some diamond ring or a 'must-have' product, let me finish, yo. Just recently, Tiffany's & Co launched a website— whatmakeslovetrue.com —which includes an interactive photo blog, "True Love in Pictures". Since February is right around the corner (ahem, that means Valentines Day. blergh) I thought I'd be nice and share this piece of information with you romantics and/or friends who share some sort of beneficial relationship with a friend(s). Okay before I get off track, the blog features photos of pairs, captured by famed street style photographers The Sartorialist and Garance Doré—who by the way, are dating. aww #bloggerlove

If Facebook wasn't enough to showcase your sappy tendencies (yes, I went there) you can now upload your own photos to the gallery, using a special filter app on iTunes. If you use Instagram, you can participate by adding a #truelovepictures hashtag to your entries, and voila: the world now knows you are loved.

To sum it all up, the sentimental website includes photography, Valentine tips + real-life love story videos. And if you're in New York, Tiffany's has selected perfect places for couples to explore: What Makes Love - Tiffany's New York.

And, if you're NOT into this sort of thing (you don't love 'love' or cringe at the thought of cute hearts), then boo-hoo, have some chocolate. No worries though, I wasn't planning on transforming Charmed, She's Sure to Loved, She's Sure. xo
