I am almost finished reading New Moon (2nd Twilight book). I am in LOVE with the books, and thank everyone for encouraging me to read them. and here are my thoughts:
On to my outfit... It's snowing non stop and - 20 degrees, so for the extreme cold weather I wore a thick knit sweater with a warm jacket. And for my big secret, I wear ski socks under my boots to stay warm. My feet stay toasty warm and I can wear any kind of boots...
I am wearing:
Talula Wool Dress
Soia & Kyo Wool Coat
Calvin Klein Opaque Tights
Gap Leather Purse
Juicy Couture BootsHello Darlings,
"Long chunky scarves look really beautiful and I recommend Louis Vuitton and Burberry..... I prefer my scarves in plain colour blocks, but colorful striped ones look equally good." - Victoria Beckham
The first thing I did when buying Victoria Beckham's book “That Extra Half an Inch” was to read the "winter" section, and in particular the section on scarves. Although I really do like Victoria - and her book is a fun read - some of her suggestions are a tiny bit ridiculous. I mean really, does she think every girl has a couple hundred dollars to spend on scarves by Louis Vuitton or Burberry?
Victoria does mention Gap for colorful scarves. But really I wonder if she has ever even been to Gap (just a random thought... :) Still, I really do love her style and in no way is this a critique of her personal choice, but only my personal opinion. Since I am pretty sure that few people who can buy Louis Vuitton and Burberry scarves like I buy my Starbucks...
Since not everyone has the pop star budget like Victoria Beckham, my recommendation for scarves on a budget is Club Monaco. They currently have cashmere scarves on sale $60, and they are really long and cozy and the quality of cashmere is great. I have a few Club Monaco cashmere pieces and they look great after a winter or two.
Another thing I recommend is to wear a thin slip under a cashmere dress, since they tend to cling to the body. A pretty slip will make the dress sit better, without riding up or clinging. Call me old, fashioned but investing in a pretty silk slip is a must for any woman.
Thank you all for your lovely comments! Thanks especially to the lovely Nita - Karoliina for the amazing award.
Up until a few months ago, I would never have worn one, but I am now loving a messy ponytail. Here are some photos of my outfit from a party on Saturday night party with my new ponytail look.
With all this dry weather, my hair is so static-y and wearing a ponytail is a practical solution. But if you have any recommendations as to what products to use to prevent static-y hair, please share.
I am wearing:
Maggie Ward Dress
M. Rena Wool Sweater
Givenchy Pantyhose
80%20 Jackie Hidden Wedge Crinkled Patent Leather Boots
Gap Leather Hobo
A.V. Max Gold Studded Cuff
Swarovski Earings 80%20 Jackie Hidden Wedge Crinkled Patent Leather Boots with a hidden wedge added a perfect touch to an otherwise boring winter outfit.
P.S. I finally bought a copy of Twilight and That Extra Half an Inch by Victoria Beckham - which believe it or not is a pretty fun read. I will make sure to post a thing or two from the book as well as some pictures which are really awesome .... And I am going to leave with this awesome John Galliano Jewelry Ad - so sexy!!
Hello Darlings,
I just finished my last final and am free at last. Just running out to grab a Venti Mocha and jump start myself, and then a quick to trip to Chapters to pick up Twilight.
With Love...
Marta
