What I'm Wearing
* Forever 21 graphic print skirt ...seen here almost exactly a year ago. How crazy is that? I also rolled it up and made it a mini ...hiding the bulging waist with a blazer.
* Vintage blue v-neck sweater. I bought this at a thrift shop when I was 18. No joke. It was vintage then and now I am vintage. lol.
* My favorite black blazer/jacket Bill Kaiserman, vintage as well
* American Apparel stirrup tights
* Noir silver studded rings from Gilt Group mixed with a pave white gold band, D&G watch, also from gilt, vintage belt seen here and dark silver hoops with black Swarovsky crystals
* Tom Ford Sunglasses ...was so excited to see him at the Oscars last night ...but SJP looked so pretty I couldn't take my eyes off of her.
* Michael Kors black open toe stiletto biker boots or {here ...also from Gilt Group but you can get em from the link above. ...seen here yeah, I wore them twice in a row.
* Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick in Sexy
* Hair: Wet, pulled up w/ clip. Was running late ;)
Oh the Academy Awards ...made me sob and sob last night! I'm not sure why ...wait, I'm on my period, that's totally why. But maybe they were more, I dunno, sentimental than usual ...with the John Hughes tribute and all the lovely speeches to the nominees at the end. Man I love Jeff Bridges. However, I wanted Meryl Streep {who looked gorgeous} to win ...just because I love her so much.
Fashion trend of the night: strapless dresses with earrings but no necklaces ...and colored lips.
Happy Monday ..what?!?!? I mean, ughhghghgh, it's Monday again

Happy 34th Baby!
To my wonderfully supportive and fabulous husband who is my best friend in the entire world ...Happy Birthday my love. I love you more each year I know you and would be totally lost without you. I can't tell you how lucky I am to get to share my life with you ...every single day. You are my superhero.

Lazy Sunday: Books & Tea
With all the great distractions in our modern world I find it more and more difficult to make time for reading. This year however, I have vowed to not only finish all the books I've started {which is a handful} but to make room for a few new ones as well.
Thanks to some great advice from a lovely reader {of my blog}, I have been reading The Mood Cure
on my Kindle
which is helping me differentiate between real and false moods and how to boost serotonin and other mood enhancing brain chemicals naturally. But when I heard about this new book The Nine Rooms of Happiness: Loving Yourself, Finding Your Purpose, and Getting Over Life's Little Imperfections
I thought it would be a perfect companion. Why not work on both physical and mental aspect of health for overall well being? I love the idea of compartmentalizing our emotions and behavior patterns into rooms and somehow think it really may be the key to figuring it all out ...whatever that may be. So that's what I'm doing for the rest of this dreary Sunday afternoon ...even though I have 100 things nagging at me to "get done", sometimes I need to shut it all out and make time for me ...and today that means getting comfy and cozy, quieting my mind and focusing on a great book, or two.

Raining Cats & Dogs ...& Porcelain
cat: Wallpaper magazine, dog: Laini & Samin
Thursday afternoon I made my thrift store rounds hoping to find something along the lines of a matching set of console tables. No such luck. I did, however, hit the blue and white porcelain jackpot at the Salvation Army ...all of which will soon find a home in our master bedroom.
*I also got a parking ticket for $150 dollars for not realizing it was after 4pm. Thanks LA!

Proof that I no longer give a shit about underwear lines. I truly am old.
What I'm Wearing
* Green/Yellow Triumph t-shirt ...I've had this shirt forever. A couple of old friends used to make them ...and rebuild vintage Triumph motorcycles as well ...I lost the friends to an ex. Such a bummer, they were good people.
* DL1961 Premium Denim gray jeans {Gilt Group} ...I love these jeans. They are so comfy. ...seen here and here
* Black Victoria's Secret cardigan
* Vintage London Fog members only style jacket
* Michael Kors black open toe stiletto biker boots or {here ...also from Gilt Group but you can get em from the link above. ...seen here
* Tom Ford Sunnies
* D&G watch
* Salvatore Ferragamo bag
I got an email this morning from Flickr saying and image I had posted was in violation and if there were more then my account could be deleted without notification. I gotta say, it kind of freaked me out considering I use flickr to host/hold all my photos for my blog. I may have to make them all private at this point because I'm a bit afraid I'm going to wake up one morning and realized not a single photo on my blog is working ...and not only that, that they are all deleted! I use flickr to store my photos ...meaning, I delete most of them from my computer {but not my iphoto} once uploading. Man I hate that shit. It was a mistake as well. ...from my Gwen Stefani post wherein I included links and all the owner's info beneath the image in flickr and thought that would be sufficient. Whatevs. I'm just worried now.
HOWEVER, I did have an amazing night's rest last night, better than I've had in months, I'd say and I'm willing to bet it's the St. John's Wort I started taking ...or maybe I was just tired. Either way, it sure feels good to sleep well.

* Rope Necklace DIY *
Rope Necklaces from Lizzie Fortunato Jewels {$300}
& Masai Twisted Rope Necklace {£230}
Two curtain tiebacks {$4.99} from your local fabric or craft store and ribbon.
. . . . .
At $4.99 per rope, you can afford to buy a handful of colors and mix them up! It's so easy ...use a sash or scarf instead of a ribbon closure or a chain even. {You could also wear it on your head!} Too easy for words. Have fun!
