A Year in Review



I thought it fit today to blog about some of my current favorites for 2009 as well as some favorites that haunted me through 2008 and still today. I am anxiously anticipating the arrival of my body con double-U neck minidress from American Apparel, in black with long sleeves. The perfect classic; alone or layered. Cat has convinced me to hit the mall today for some studded rings (as has MK Olsen) and Melissa talked me into making a stop at the bookstore for the perfect Fashion book. I'm craving multichain necklaces as well. I cannot wait to incorporate all of these trends and new ideas into my blog this year. I do have some secrets up my sleeve, all neatly written out in shopping list format, of course. I hope to score some of them today. If not, there's always tomorrow.

XO

UPDATE:
I ended up getting:
  • a slew of rings
  • a new scarf
  • a bracelet
  • and some very Carrie Bradshaw shoes!! xx
  • I had to order the book online, along with another ring and necklace. :]

I love that ring! This is a little name dropping but I was at Bonarroo backstage this summer and MK and Ashley were there with all their friends. The two things I noticed were a.) MK was dressed for winter and it was 100 degrees out but b.) she also had so many rings and bracelets on that it looked so amazing...almost gypsy like.

Allison said...

Excellent post, as always :)
I've always wanted to just have the guts to dress like Carrie Bradshaw - be fashionable, and yet not really care if people think I look a little silly... hopefully soon I'll get to that point!

I love MK & Ashley Olsen's book Influence, I'm not sure if you have it already or not, but it's great for fashion and everything :) Good luck with your search!

Dooder City said...

Just to ad to that story, my boyfriend and his bandmates were like, 'who is that little girls?' I was like, 'oh my god, it's them!' and they started to make fun of them and I was like, 'don't you dare, they are the coolest!' I am such a nerd.

Susanna-Cole said...

Ok before I forget again, I totally "awwwwwwed" over your new puppy (so adorable!!) and yet somehow that awwwwing didn't make it to the comment haha. I really think I have short term memory loss sometimes! :P

Anyway, ok I'm like working backwards in my comment today... in the order: Oh goodness, I can't believe I forgot about the shoe pictures again! Ugh. I should tell myself I'm not allowed to leave you comment until I have those pictures, that would get me moving cause I would hate not getting to comment! ;)

You're welcome, welcome, welcome, and THANK YOU, for your super sweet words as well! They really made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and I love that! <3

Anyway, ok now to your post (see I went completely backwards! Exciting! haha), love your choices are favorites! Studded rings have just reached my radar and I'm in love! Got to get some!! :D

Take care dear! Sorry about all the "!!" of this post! I'm rather hyper right now! :P

xoxo,
S-C
