Shopping Therapy

After spending the last week in bed, dealing with a strange flu bug, I was elated to finally feel better today. Enough that I actually got dressed (buh-bye PJ's!) and put on makeup! Because it was just my birthday, I had accumulated a small fortune over the weekend from generous family members and friends, which I happily spent a nice portion of today. Say hello to my beautiful new boots that are going to keep my feet happy and warm throughout fall and winter! 

Boots, Chocolate, and Violet. ♥

Amongst generous sums of money, my friends and family members also treated me to breakfast, champagne, chocolate, sunflowers, and clothing. Oh, and a fish (see above, "her" name is Violet)! What more could I possibly ask for? Well, I have to admit I have a few items coming in the mail this week  from online orders. More details and pictures to come this week!

On The Bright Side

Although I have been sick in bed for the past couple of days, I am taking this time to watch (and re-watch) all of my favorite old movies, like Let's Make Love, His Girl Friday, and The Awful Truth. I envy the women's wardrobes, filled with luxurious fur, head-to-toe beaded gowns, and diamond bib necklaces. The lifestyle of this period was so glamourous and elegant, and women were so graceful. I sometimes yearn for this type of sophistication (However, right now my sweats and old t-shirt are doing me well while I battle the flu!). I'll be resting today watching the ever-handsome Cary Grant charm many beautiful women.

Hope everyone is enjoying the start to weekend!

Lusting for Flared Sleeves

In the coming months I have quite a few events that require a special dress: my birthday is in only a couple of days, my manager (and dear friend) from A Tropical Affair is getting married, and my roommate Mia is turning twenty one. Therefore, I have been browsing fall-appropriate party dresses and I may have found the winner. I am seriously digging flared sleeves this fall and this dress may take the cake. I'm thinking my black booties and bright jewelry will make this the ideal outfit for all occasions.

Darling, right?

More options later. 

XOXO,

On A Whim..

 The other day I was wasting time before meeting my sister, so I browsed through Forever21. It seems to me that when I am searching for a specific piece of clothing at Forever21, I can not find what I am looking for, yet when I casually browse through the racks there are numerous items I want to add to my wardrobe. How can such a huge store, filled with clothing so inexpensive play this devious trick on me? I digress. The point is I, of course, walked out with two items. But in my defense, they are darling. So here is the scoop:

1. Last winter Sonia Rykiel released her line for H&M, and a particular striped knit dress caught my eye. Seeing that I live in Santa Barbara and H&M does not have an online store, my next best option was to make a trip to L.A. I never made it to Los Angeles, however my twenty minutes of browsing through Forever21 supplied a skirt that is nearly identical to the dress.

2. The second purchase from Forever21 requires colder temperatures than Santa Barbara is experiencing right now, but as for now a little fog will be sure to make this a go-to accessory.

Cute Gray Knit Headband! (and silly roommates)

I guess we can't give up on Forever21 all together. 

XOXO, 

Taylor
