"All business, no play." Can you believe some dude on the street hollered that at me as if it were a pick up line? What the hell? Seriously dude, you saw me from half a block away and that's the best you could come up with? COME ON!

Working on a mini make over for this blog. I haven't touched this layout in over two years so we'll see how far I get........

I've been so busy that I haven't gotten a chance to take any outfit pictures lately. Here's a little quickie (that's what she said, haha) during lunch today.

Rita Konig's Mantel

I remember Rita Konig's pretty apartment when I first saw it in Domino Magazine (September 2008, to be exact.) I came upon it again today and with the popularity of instagram and collages, it's definitely a good idea to try on a blank wall.

H&M blazer and tank, Siwy shorts, Coach satchel, Converse sneakers, Karen Walker sunglasses

Went to Lake Tahoe last weekend for some much needed sun and relaxation. I forgot to take my camera out for most of the trip I was there but managed to snap these on the first day. I posted a few pictures from my phone on my Tumblr but nothing beats the real thing: I can't even begin to describe how beautiful the scenery was. I want to go back!

Miu Miu 'Muta' Premiere

=

(Shona Joy Dress)

On Tuesday night, I was invited to the premiere of Miu Miu's short film, 'Muta'. Although the movie was slightly creepy, the 40's sunglasses from the 2011 Fall runway was definitely a big hit. The premiere/party was in a beautiful mansion in Beverly Hills where parts of Entourage is also filmed and being at the party getting starstruck together with Julie and my sister Dani was the fun part. Seriously, everywhere we turned, there was somebody famous and we would whisper to one another as if we've never seen a celebrity before.

Btw, Can you spot a blurry Diane Kruger behind my noggin'? She looked beautiful wearing her hair and dress straight from the 2011 Fall runway.

Silky Green, Sublime Green, Minty Green, You Name It!

(Zara Silk Top, Threadsence Shorts, Coach Bag, Joe's Jeans Leopard Wedge Sandals, Rayban Aviators)

Unfortunately, I don't own any pair of shoes that are green nor a green bag. Otherwise, this could've been a perfect green outfit for St. Patty's day or any day I feel like being green.

P.S. These photos are taken by my mom!

Moroccan Wedding Blankets

I've always wanted a Moroccan Wedding blanket even before I knew what it really was. They're absolutely beautiful and can be placed anywhere from the floors, to your bed (like it's originally intended) or on your wall as an art piece! If you have $700 + to spend, you can purchase them here. For now, these images will do for me!

Something Left Behind

(Lake and Star Bra, Ceek Sideway Cross Necklace, Zara Blouse, Mink Pink Shorts c/o Bamboo Sky, Giuseppe Zanotti heels, Alexander Wang Rocco Bag)

I feel like this outfit is a copy of this outfit. A lot of you guys have asked where I purchased my lace shorts from this post and they're just ordinary pajama shorts I had for awhile that I must've gotten at the lingerie section at Macy's.

One of my best friends, Benita, left the country and before she left today she surprised me with this bag. Every time we hung out together I jokingly told her I was going to take it with me and now she's actually given it to me. Thank You Benita and please come back soon?
