I didn't dress up this year after all. You can see my costumes from 2009 as Audrey Hepburn here and from 2008 as a Bohemian Princess here. This year I stayed in and gave out candy to the neighboring kids. So many adorable costumes. What did you do this Halloween?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Scarf Check

{Dior sunglasses, Newport News top, Superfine denim, Pierre Hardy x Gap wedges, Forever 21 fur vest + scarf, Nightingale bag}

While everyone else is busy scrambling to watch just about every Scary movie in time for Halloween, I'm opting for comedies. I'm not much for paranormal activity or slasher films. And I'm still not sure if I should even dress up?

I'd better start planning my design for the annual Pumpkin carving... any suggestions? :)

KENNETH COLE

last week i was invited to the KENNETH COLE showroom for an intimate,
sit down dinner to preview the spring 2011 collection.
an invite came on a sony bloggie with a special video message from kenneth himself!!
the presentation was gorgeous, the clothes + accessories to die for + the food delicious!
while we ate waiters carried around trays displaying the fab shoes- so cute!
ooo and i had a chance to speak with kenneth- super charming + funny ♥
my coveted items of the night had to be the brown leather bag + the green wrap up sandals.

Vanity Fair ♥

just realized i never shared this with you!
VANITY FAIR named me one of their favorite fashion bloggers ♥
the feature was in their september issue with lady gaga on the cover.
super flattering, especially seeing my name listed among such great company!

Nirvana

{Chaser Nirvana raglan, Rave jacket, Seven for all Mankind jeans, Pierre Hardy x Gap wedges, Foley + Corinna bag}





I remember when initially moving to North Carolina last October, the weather left an impact on this girl hailing from Miami. One year later and I am easily adjusting to and loving the varying Seasons.

Last October, I also watched My So Called Life in full. I've decided to make it my personal fall tradition as I have started watching it all over again. How is it that every time, I spot something new? Angela Chase dives and dips into plaid and flannel with such ease. Pieces that look as soft as pajamas and mimic Pendleton in design are her high school uniform. She listens to Stone Temple Pilots, The Cranberries and Smashing Pumpkins as much as I did then ...and still do now...

The Nineties, preserved in a tidy little capsule of 19 episodes.
