2010 Highlights

{Though it was hard for me to narrow it down, I was finally able to summarize my favorite looks from 2010 into collage form.}

I can't believe 2011 is already here. 2010 was filled with so many wonderful opportunities, extravagant surprises and dazzling events. I never knew that blogging could open so many windows and doors for me. From modeling for Coach to meeting some of my favorite fashion icons: Olivia Palermo and Alexa Chung. These were once just dreams. I still can't believe my luck of previewing collections at private parties in Soho, being elbow to elbow with Kelly Cutrone at the Mara Hoffman Spring Collection Show, attending New York Fashion Week, sitting front row at Ports 1961, attending a blogger brunch in the In Style Lounge, meeting with the Lucky magazine and Loft teams, making new friends and spotting one of my favorite models in the showroom, Anna Selezneva. Seeing Freja Beha open Ports 1961!!! The wish list I comically made in my journal when I first began blogging came nowhere near close to the amazing journey I have had the lucky chance to embark upon this year. I take nothing for granted and only hope to grow and learn even more in 2011.

Fashion has always played a large role in my life. Whether I am studying it, evolving with it or simply sharing it. I am very thankful for my amazing readers and supporters. Your feedback motivates me.

Fashion Chalet + Koshka

Bloglovin' and Koshka recently invited me to collaborate on a special Holiday project. I was asked to style a shoot modeling my favorite Koshka piece. I chose this jacket for its versatility, color and intriguing design. I'm also partial to the way green has a way of complimenting my hair.







{Koshka jacket, Urban Revisions top, Superfine jeans, H&m rosette clutch, Ralph Lauren watch, Chloe wedges}

A huge thanks to Bloglovin’ and Koshka for letting me be a part of this great opportunity!

What is your favorite piece on the Koshka site?

HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

One of my favorite lines from My So Called Life. I so relate!

Angela: So it keeps me going or something, like, I need it just to get through the day. It's, it's just...
Rickie: It's an obsession.
Angela: Right, and, and if you make it real, it's, it's not the same. It's not, it's not yours anymore. I, I don't know, maybe I'd rather have the fantasy, than even *him*.
