SEASON FINALE

it's the end of an era. 

in the summer of 2009 i reconnected with my old best friend, Eric, who introduced me to my favorite neighbor, Steven, who both introduced me back to old gal pals from high school. and since then, my life completely changed. so much has happened in one year. it's hard to grasp how time flies, and how much you learn in the process. 

from june 09 to now, i've traveled to london, paris, &  barcelona (and at the end of september, i'll be visiting Asia for the first time). i had three different jobs from Riviera to Ferragamo, and now LOCALE. 

Steven is moving to NYC to pursue his genius - ART.
Eric is also moving to NYC to scream his fashion sense to the world at FIT.
Linh (1/2 of sara+linh) is going back to school to become a PA
Sara (other 1/2 of sara+linh) is starting her first semester @ pharmschool in CO
Kathy (my oldest friend since 2nd grade!) is becoming a fabulous optometrist 
Nguyen transferred to Loyola law

we sound like the most eclectic group of friends, but you know what? that's what's so amazing. 

yes, a lot can happen in a year. actually, a lot can happen in a day. but the one thing that stays the same is our DRIVE to succeed AND to be happy. 

check, and check. 

can't wait to see what 2011 has got in store for all of us.

on me:

BCBG silk wide-leg wrap jumpsuit
BLUMARINE cardigan
KARL LAGERFELD PARIS necklace
STEVE MADDEN suede nude pumps
BALENCIAGA grey w/ rose gold hardware clutch 
random rings

The Truth about Kickass Jewellery



How many times have you had a mediocre outfit taken up a notch by adding some great jewellery? I know I have more times than I care to count. It's so much easier to throw on a skinny jean-simple -tee-all-black-ensemble and clip on a great necklace and an arsenal of wicked braclets to turn the tables. So much easier than worrying about a great outfit from scratch while you should already be out the door.
Dior makes the kind of rings girls could kill for, and posses all the prerequisites to being every fashionista's dream. The pop of color it lends your ensembles, the exellcent attention for detail, the extraordinary design...

I'm a natural born sucker for all things mythological, and a develping sucker for all things Lanvin, this craftmanship HAD to be in my tops. I mean, just look at it, you don't get any grander. If I owned a crazy, chunky, to-die-for Medusa necklace I'd throw it on everything, even Pj's.

I can imagine this Lanvin masterpiece over about a gazillion different basic-what-would-be-blah-outfits-without-it. A fitted sheath dress, skinny jeans and white shirt, a simple LBD...you name it, she'll jazz it up.



Thank you, gods of jewellery, for saving us from boring outfits.
