belated christmas

(forever 21 sequin shorts, urban outfitters, deena & ozzy boots, faux fur stole, hue tights, leather gloves c/o of my lovely employer the leone's) 

Gosh I've been running around like a mad woman for the past week.  Between the holidays, traveling, family, work, and friends in town I've been extremely busy. It was great to be home, even it was for a short period of time.  It's been a dramatic and hectic year in all ways for me- positive and negative but with the New Year approaching I really do hope for health and happiness for family, loved ones, friends, myself, and readers.  Hope everyone had a joyous holiday!

Just got home from seeing Black Swan, honestly it was the best movie I've seen all year. An epic sexual thriller, with incredible intensity and passion . Please view! I was left speechless, which is a feat in itself.

I realize this outfit is similar to the last few posts.  I'm pretty obsessed with maxis instead of pants for winter weather.

I sincerely apologize for the lack of posts. Today it was 10 degrees here, yes 10 degrees. I basically only want to sport thermals, massive fur hats, over the knee boots and layers of sweaters.  I had hoped to get our Christmas tree this weekend but instead we took care of some shopping, relaxed, indulged in mimosas, and watched The Garden of Eden.  Christmas is my favorite holiday but this year I feel so overwhelmed between family issues, my new job, travel and shopping. Yeeps. Oh well it will all be worth it when I'm home with my loved ones by the fire with a tasty glass of wine.

And by the way my maxi obsession has reached new lengths.

Made By Anatomy Preview

These are a few outtakes from a photo shoot I did a few weeks back.  Made By Anatomy is a local Buffalo boutique that specialized in made to measure, bridal party, and gorgeous one of a kind designs.  Ali Eagen, the creator and designer approached me awhile back and I couldn't say no to her adorable creations and lovely personality.  It was a joy working with her and photographer Katie Schneider. I'll post more pics once they're live in her site. In the mean time take a peek at her shop!

Still suffering death like flu symptoms.  Come on immune system, I know you're in there somewhere. Sniffle, sniffle.

Love, love, love this fur vest lately. It's so warm and cozy and the perfect friendly companion. This weekend was spent resting up as I've been experiencing flu like symptoms for nearly a week. No fun.

I have a terrible cold and it's 20 degrees here, wah wah Buffalo frozen tundra.

Glitter galore for the Holidays! Love me some Litas.  They'll be added to wishlist '10.

I apologize for the lack of posts- by the time I get out of work it's darker then a cave providing absolutely zero natural light.  I'm hoping for an external flash for the holidays which will provide plenty of oomph for indoor pictures.  The weather has turned frightful- we're due for a major snowstorm and I haven't even taken out my cozy sweaters, winter jackets, or over the knee boots!

The Reincarnation of Wang

Happy Holidays indeed, adore the A. Wang spring collection of bags and as always, Zippora Seven. 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, I had a lovely but hectic holiday at home.  I was reunited with my family for a few days, spent some time with my boyfriends family back here (tree trimming, etc.) in Buffalo, and had my best friend from NYC stay with me.  Twas a jam packed extended weekend, not to mention I start my new job tomorrow A.M. - yeeeeeps. I'll sleep well tonight.

Cozy, Homey, for the Holidays

I'm so excited for the holidays, my families cooking is beyond supreme. I'll be layering on a bunch of sweaters for warmth and the extra lbs I pack on as I feast of the holiday goodness.  Tomorrow I am headed back to my hometown.  I can't wait to be reunited with my parents and catch up with my out of town relatives.  I wish all my U.S. followers a happy and healthy Turkey day!

Swan Lake

(forever 21 ballet skirt, cashmere sweater c/o bebe, knee highs h&m, h&m lace moto, f21 shoes)

For their current blogger contest, bebe kindly sent me this lovely cashmere sweater to style and accessorize however I wanted. I was given a variety of sweaters to choose from, but I picked this classic black scoop neck because it's extremely versatile--the perfect layering piece for the season--and I rarely shy away from black... it's pretty much my go-to color--or non-color--of choice. What's more, this sweater has these adorable flecks of glitter on the sleeves & waist, although they don't come through well in the photos.

Ok, so a bit about this outfit: I feel like a modern day ballerina! When I was young I took tap and jazz lessons, but a ballerina I was not. I usually fare towards more edgy looks, but a girly, frilly look is nice for a change. Maybe I was influenced by the new Darren Aronofsky film, Black Swan? I haven't seen it yet, but I know it's recieving rave reviews, and I've always been a fan of his work, not to mention that of Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis and Winona Ryder.
