bright future

we survived the mayan calendar, so there is no reason why 2013 can't be my year.

i have many things i want to accomplish this year, not "resolutions" per se... but just want to better myself.

to begin the year, i think i should get mirrored sunglasses because i'm OBSESSED.

gobble gobble

happy thanksgiving y'all. don't overstuff on turkey. or else you might look like one. we all have been warned.

more is more

continuing my metallic trend, this post is dedicated to gold. i love anything shiny, but i especially love gold. it's so luxurious, grand and down right classy. it's both modern and traditional.

as the weather in new york is starting to cool down, i'm forced to add more layers to my outfits. thus, i am transferring this same mentality to my jewelry regimen. my tip: place a pretty bowl filled with baubbles next to where you keep your keys. thus, you are always accessorized! no excuses.

check out Gallery Atlantic for some baubble bling! 

trend alert: metallics

metallic, specifically silver is going to be huge this fall. so many silver/metallic jeans are out right now, but i like my metallics more in my accessories. i think more is more when it comes to layering accessories. but then again, i do occasionally do like to look like a disco ball. 

i am one of Gallery Atlantic's new blogger stylist! so happy to be part of the team! below are some of my top picks incorporating the metallic trend. i tend to fluctuate between being really girly and pretending to be hard core. hence the mix of sequins and swords. 

1. sophia silver sword pedant necklace  2. madagascar cuff  3. karina silver dagger earrings

4. egypt three silver ring set  5. sunset boulevard cuff  6. silver antler cuff

NYFW, part 3

Alexander Wang: black, white, glow-in-the-dark. oh, and lots of cutouts. 

Badgley Mischka - I feel like this is what modern-day fairies would wear.

Naeem Khan - perfect for all my black-tie affairs. 

Oscar de la Renta - preppy perfect for the really rich lady who lunches

Vera Wang - structured lace and ballet heels. you know, for the ballerina on the go.

Victoria, Victoria Beckham - perhaps Mel C collaborated with her on this sporty spice looks? you don't need Victoria Beckham's body to fit into these looks. pass the cookies please.

Join Copious!

Copious is an online platform (kinda like etsy) where regular people like you and me can shop from other fashionable closets! I recently moved my "shop haute like wasabi" shop to Copious just because you can reach a wide audience in one place. I even managed to score my first sale. cha-ching!

Last week to kick off NYFW, Copious had a blogger event at Elk Studios and I got on the fun snapping these silly pictures with Emma (@EmmaStarks) and Greta (@gretaeagan). 

my personal fav!

i can't resist a photo-op with a mustache.
