Even though the weather maybe better suited to boots, and UGG’s I’m fantasizing of bearing my toes in something like these Alexander Wang Chloe sandals Rihanna is wearing.  The way she’s paired them is genius by the way; the shorts and Tee let the focus fall solely on the heels.

I wouldn’t be able to pull that look off but the shoes I could definitely work with.  On Net-a-Porter for $525 these are clearly just a dream. Even if I could deciding which one to take home would be near impossible; I love all 3 color options I truly can’t pick a favorite!

Who says glitter is only for special occasions? I think it’s perfectly appropriate to work in a bit of sparkle in bewteen the holidays, and a pair of gleaming kicks is one great way to do it.  The key is not going overboard; pair anyone of these shoes with a simple plain shirt and pants for maximum impact.  

I love the flats #9 from Zara with the leopard print, they make it easy to stand out from the crowd in a subtle and informal way.

 

Goodbye 2011.  This year as every year that passes seems to have gone by faster than the last.  Sitting here reflecting on all that has happened this year both in my personal life and my blog, there’s been a lot of highs and lows, all of which I am thankful for.

Not to get to philosophical on you guys while most of us are preparing on the eve of the biggest party of the year, but I’ve learned as great deal about myself this year.  I’ve learned how important it is to live.  And truly live, not just consume air.  Life is incredible delicate, and I’m thankful for all the connections I’ve made and for the ones that continue to grow stronger.

For 2012 I not only resolve, but also am committed to uncovering me. Happiness starts from within and radiates outwards.  That means I need to spend a lot more time getting to know the real me, and doing things and being with the people that I love.  That’s one thing I’ve neglected in the years past that must end.

To cast away the regrets of the past year and move towards a better and brighter one I thought I’d just share everything that has touched and inspired me from 2011 and bring that positive energy on with me in the next.

11 trends/things I loved about 2011 that I’ll draw inspiration from for my wardrobe in 2012:

1. Pattern on pattern
2. Layering color
3. Sheers
4. Blush tones
5. Structured satchels
6. Buckle details
7. Menswear
8. Rooney Mara
9. Tortoise print
10. Polka dots
11. Red lips

Happy New Year everyone!!

For what remains of 2011 I thought I’d post my favourite fashion picks of the year.  2011 was packed with so many amazing pieces it was really hard just to settle on just one for my first entry.  High on the list are these righteous Dsquared2 Ice Skate pumps.  I thought when I first saw them that they were actually meant to be skates (not usable ones obviously) but the fact that their actually wearable heels blew me away.  Chanel Iman looks is working the hell out of them on the runway, in a knee height pair pulled over distressed denim. Hawt!!

I’m all over the black, but love the worn in look of the white…so torn!  They’re actually on sale now so if you’re looking for something to make a statement in for 2012, a pair of these on New Year’s would set of plenty of fireworks!

My blogging may have stopped but my mind is in Christmas overdrive, so I thought I’d share my christmas list.

1. Michael Kors tote

2. Michael Kors watch

3. Lulu lemon scuba sweater

4. Zara blouse

5. Rachel Roy mixed charm collar

6. Michael Kors Josie sandal

 

Obviously I’m obsessed with everything Michael Kors…
