A Modern Day Fairytale





What fun I had frolicking about the scene during my younger brother's visit, the photographer behind this very set. Feeling sprite-like, I took it upon myself to pose waterside. As we neared the local theater, he snapped a few extra candids. (We saw "Rear Window" that day.) It was a warm, sunny afternoon filled with fluttering butterflies overhead and a near cloudless sky. I opted for a floaty, cotton frock, from none other than one of my usual haunts; forever 21. Leather flip flops, shining in all their aldo golden glory, adorned my feet. My belt? ...vintage. A colorful pair of shades, I dredged up from a pile at the urban outfitters' post, set the mood just right, with their cheerful golden hue. Ending the day on an even more positive note was my lucky tote, a vintage find I treasure, as it was handmade. ( ♥ ) Hope you are all enjoying the extra long weekend!!

I seriously just died


sheer fantasy

le CHEAP c'est CHIC!


I awoke this morning to a few new comments in my Teen Vogue contest one of which stood out to me the most, from blogger leCheapc'estChic. When I checked out her blog I found an even greater surprise. Myself. In one of her stylish features about fashionable bloggers around the world. She had only the nicest things to say about me, which really made my day that much brighter. My warmest thanks goes out to you, Stephanie. What an incredibly tremendous honor to be included in such a wonderful editorial.

Here is what she had to say:

When something good is discovered, the pleasure one derives from it doubles when there is the possibility of sharing that pleasure. The internet abounds with blogs and this can sometimes make it difficult to find what you're looking for in a blog, or easy to miss the good ones that deserve all the attention they can get. It is therefore that today I am dedicating this post to three fashionistas who inspire me and bloggers around the globe. Cindy, Erika, & Jessica may have a blog and love for fashion in common, but everyday they're bringing their unique ventures in fashion to the blogosphere where the world awaits with eyes wide open.

Erika of fashionchalet embodies the essence of style. She's endlessly creative in her looks which vary from classically elegant (think Audrey Hepburn) to everyday chic (think American apparel and the Olsen twins) and her blog- which is a creative force on its own in terms of documenting her looks- inspires her readers to not only take cues from her innate style, but is a valuable lesson in the how-to's of making budget pieces look phenomenal.
