Gucci Spring 2010

It's that time of year again: the time to put away the turkey and get on the elliptical because it's nearly Spring, which means, it's almost summer! (Okay, maybe I can do this once New Years has passed... haha) I am no different. Of course, My New Years resolution is always to lsoe weight but this year is very different. My best friend is getting married come this summer and I'm her maid of honor. This is a disaster! I'm not in any shape to parade my body around a church full of people. Thus, I need to slim down. A lot... slim down a lot. I'm a size 12 (okay, a 14, but if a 12 fits, why not wear it?). I want to be a size 8-10 before the wedding. I don't think that's an unrealistic goal. It's not as if I want to be a size 2... Anyway, that's my goal and that is what I WILL do. How? I don't know.. maybe just eating less and moving more.


On to less depressing things..... I've always loved Gucci. I don't know exactly why, but I've had this semi-obsession with the brand. Their Spring 2010 is gorgeous! I am dazzled! Are you?



The intricate color is stunning!

I love this color. Especially the sunglasses.







The color and the beading make the dress unique and just gorgeous!

My favorite piece actually. What I wouldn't to to wear/look this good in this cutout.

Side-View... I love the large Gucci tote!

The shoes are to die for. They are sky-high and sexy!

Is this collection not stunning? These are only some of my favorites. Of course, I could probably never look this good in any of these articles, which is why I'm not going to buy them, but that's not going to stop me from ogling them. What do you think of them?

Happy Holidays:)

Just some cravings...

My favorite pair of jeans ripped yesterday! I've only had these 7 For All Mankind jeans for about 6 months so I was shocked. So now I've decided that I need to go shopping for a new favorite pair of jeans. Some of my favorite jean brands are: 7 For All Mankind, True Religion, Hudson (love the pocket design on these), Joe's Jeans, and Adriano Goldschmied jeans. So I'm going shopping! Haha, here are some things I really want right now.


Longchamp "La Pliage" large tote in New Navy: $145


True Religion "Becky" in the Dark Pony Express wash: $172


Christian Louboutin Python Pumps: $1,055



Fendi Fur-Shoulder Sweater Dress... on SALE!
Originally: 1,995.00 now only: $718.19 (At Sakes 5th Ave)

Anyway, I hope you are all having an awesome day:)

My Ray-Bans!

So, in the previous post I asked readers to rate Ray-Bans as classy or trashy. I think they're classy, but I don't really know if they fit my face well. How do they look? I can still return them haha!
Okay, this is my face in Ray-Bans! What do you think? Can I rock them?




Yes, I need to do something with my hair. I like it long because I think it's very beautiful, but it takes so long to get it ready and it's so hard! Also, my sister told me not to cut it just because everyone else is sporting the short hair (especially in my friend circle) and I want to stand out.

Anyone have any ideas?


The holidays bring out the worst in me. I'm frustrated, stressed, upset almost everyday. I have SO much to do! I don't even think I'll finish it all and that scares me because it must be done. This isn't just stuff for the holidays but everything in my life right now! I need a vacation!

Hope you all are feeling better than me;)

Classy or Trashy?

What do you think of Ray Ban's original Wayfarer sunglasses? Are they a classic that can be worn with virtually anything. OR are they trashy and should NOT be worn at all?










I would really like to know:)



Anyway, good news. I lost 7.2 pounds!!! SEVEN!!! I still have a long way to go before I get to my goal weight, but this is really encouraging me too keep moving and not give up:)




I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday. I'm honestly too stressed. I think I'm going to start graying any day haha!
Best wishes:)

Last Thursday, November 26, photographer Sam Haskins died. He was 83 years old and died of a suicide. It's said that he was depressed after a series of strokes. Here's some of his amazing work:







Beautiful pictures.

Shopping: MISSED OPPERTUNITY!

Okay, I saw this super cute pair of Cole Hanns at Marshall's of all places for a steal: $79.99! I didn't buy them because I was buying so much other things at that time. Now I'm thinking, they would be so perfect for fall. I know the purple trend is passing, but how cute would these be with black tights and a semi-fancy skirt? Ugh, I'm a moron!

Kick myself right now!


Anyway, I've decided to go on a "shopping fast" to encourage myself to lose weight. Once I lose it, I will reward myself with new Louboutins and smaller sizes! Besides, my wide feet don't exactly look good in narrow, European shoes right now.
