This year I have two extra events to attend than I normally do so I’ve been trying to plan ahead in terms of outfits I’d like to wear. Two family Christmas parties, a brunch meetup, and a business dinner. Another issue is that New York is awfully cold this time of year. My inspiration began …
Everything’s Coming Up Coldwater Creek
While searching for a small sea biscuit/sand dollar to complete my plans for a future beach-themed terrarium, I found a darling versatile ivory seed bead bracelet by Coldwater Creek. I’ve often wondered about this brand… Can I say Talbots meets Peruvian Connection? Well, that’s my initial impression (all good) without having ever stepped into any …

I finally worked up the courage a few of months ago to get a second set of piercings so I could finally wear studs and hoops. “Courage”; since I had bad memories from when I was nine and received piercings for the first time which hurt terribly for a week (kept me up at night). …

Unexpected to me, sandwiched in-between was a large shopping arcade. I peeked into the store’s windows wishing the shops were still open (Boots, …
Rachel Roy’s Koala Bear Ring
I’m still forming an opinion on Rachel Roy (not too familiar with her brand yet). Her Koala Bear Ring has definitely given me a great first impression. Koalas are dear to my heart; they are furry little lovable creatures. I’ve never seen such a cute statement piece before; rarely has a koala bear appeared in …
