please focus your attention downwards, pronto

focus your attention to SUNO's shoes... i helped pick out the colors/fabrics. designs are by RM Boucher.

so f'ing crazy to see your creations on the runway, during NY FASHION WEEK. I DIE.

the one above is my favorite! the wedge is completely navy tie-dye with metallic brown piping.

these babies are a whooping seven inches. 

you're the only thing happy about this hour.

i thought this outfit (which is a jumper) was a good decision... until i had to go to the bathroom a million times due to happy hour.

ultimate nachos. crazy sinful but delish. 

will you be my valentine

happy valentines. a time to indulge in chocolate and wine. but then again, i think that should be an everyday routine.

with spring quickly approaching, i am so excited for pulling out some florals and brights that i have tucked away. currently, i basically only wear gray or black. this is going to be a drastic change.

you must recognize this ring. the infamous sex and the city ring. well... i am now interning for the ring's designer!!! Ramona Boucher, seriously one of the smartest and kindest woman in the industry. visit her website, because these photos are just a tiny appetizer. she's been in so many magazines from nylon to italian vogue and let's not get into runway. check it out now: house of bastion

and she designs shoes. seven inch shoes. which are perfect for my tiny height!

i tried on some of these today. because i could not resist.
happy friday!
