Today is my last day in New York City for a couple of weeks because I’m flying home to Seattle tomorrow! Tonight I’m heading to a blogger party hosted by Julia DiNardo of Fashion Pulse. Getting dressed and living in NYC takes more time since I usually have to go straight from work to whatever event or meet-up is taking place that evening.

Today I was totally feeling mixed metals and really wanted to wear the new boots that WHERE generously sent me, which have stud detailing down the sides. 

Wearing:

• Tee: Nordstrom
• Vest: Forever 21

This year, I’m featuring gift ideas for those living on the go and will be posting several recommendations over the next two weeks. To kick things off, let’s start with something neutral that can work for co-workers, brothers, girlfriends, parents and just about everyone else in your life aside from kids and babies.

#’s 1-3: Starbucks Mobile Goodies

With the holidays comes cold weather and there’s something festive about a hot coffee to warm your hands as you carryout your day. Starbucks tends to be pretty popular for gift giving, mainly because it’s “safe” for varying audiences, but here’s a new spin on giving coffee this season. Read the rest of this entry »

Hi stylish friends! I’m blogging live from The Limited Pop Up Store in Soho for a holiday shopping party. It’s being hosted by Nicole Williams in light of her new book Girl On Top. Coincidentally, I got Windows 7 installed in my laptop today, so I’m immersing myself in that as I go (so far, it’s great).

The pop-up store opened in October and has been so successful, they decided to extend it until December 28. If you’re in NYC, check it out at 134 Spring Street.

I’m on a platform blogging and was dressed by a fab personal stylist named Anthony (more on him soon when I can track him down). They are having 40% off all night and I’m definitely going to take advantage. Lots of rich colors and sparkles with sleek black separates. Here’s what I’m wearing (will get better pics later) a sheer royal blue blouse over a royal blue sequin tank and black cropped skinny slacks with button detail down the calf:

About a month or so ago, my friend/coworker Matt went to Thailand and brought me back an awesome tank top screen printed with the famous pic of Heidi Klum flipping off the camera. When he got back to Seattle, he  mailed it to me with a little post-it that read something like “Thailand fashion at its best.” What he probably doesn’t know is that I’ve already worn it three times!

The first thing that came to my mind when I got dressed was “conflicted.” First, you have a top that slightly pushes the boundaries combined with frumpy pants and a granny sweater, topped off with an ultra glam necklace. Also, the accessories cost more than the entire outfit. To add to that, this is one of the only times I’ve posted a look of me wearing flats!
