Lovable Friday

1. Although my eyes immediately fixate on hot heels, the reality of the matter is that I wear flats the most. I work with kids all day, every day and when I have time to relax, half of the time I don’t feel like fighting with a pair of uncomfortable stilettos. That’s why I’m trying to train my brain to become enamored with cute flats just as much. These are definitely a good place to start. They are adorable, look comfy and adhere to my “put a bow on it” mantra. Sold.

2. Thanks to the launch (& soon to be finale – sniff) of Sherlock’s series 3, I’m having a hard time focusing on anything else. Cue adorable Sherlock print from this Australian seller and I can’t handle myself. The feels are serious OK?!?!

3. As if I needed another excuse to grow my nail polish collection, Gwen Stefani goes ahead and partners with OPI. I obviously need every single one, but if I was made to pick only one shade, I would go with Hey Baby. But let’s be real. When do I ever just choose one? Intervention imminent.

4. I don’t know why I continue to expose myself to new and potentially wallet-ruining sites. Me & Zena is one of those. They have amazingly fun and unique jewelry pieces that not only call to me, but basically scream my name repeatedly. This unicorn necklace currently has me on speed dial.

5. I know it may be overkill at this point, but I love me a good chevron print. Leave it to Dwell Studio to cook up such a great looking coffee table in it. The price is definitely not right, but I am definitely enjoying it from afar.

Happy Hump Day {Role Reversal}: Gwen Stefani

The other half of my favorite celebrity couple. Once upon a time, when I was 15, I discovered that Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale were dating while listening to the radio. On that day, I decided I hated Gwen Stefani and would make it my life mission to destroy her (but still listen to her music nonstop, duh). Obviously, Gavin was going to marry me – is that so hard to understand??? Last year Eventually, I realized maybe that wasn’t going to happen, so I decided it was easier to love them together. It wasn’t exactly the hardest thing to do – they are so adorable. And let’s face it, during all those anti-Gwen years, I secretly idolized her and her amazing style, energy and confidence. And that really hasn’t changed since. I still admire her for being such a style icon, an entrepreneur & an overall fierce bitch.

Who else is beside themselves about the new No Doubt record coming out next month?
I can barely contain myself!

Squeeworthy: Travalo

The Travalo caught my eye after I heard of this fantastic product from a local South Florida blogger. It seemed like the perfect item for me to try out as I was stressing as to how I was going to transport my fragrance(s) on our trip to Europe. I thought this was such a genius idea! The itty bitty Travalo is a refillable perfume atomizer that is airline approved, which means smooth sailing through security checks. Just pick your favorite fragrance, in my case, Ms. Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B., and twist off the pump in order to attach the bottom of the Travelo to it.

1. Harajuku for Target

I love all things Gwen Stefani (I kind of want to be her when I grow up), so naturally I’m a big fan of all her fashion lines. You can imagine how excited I got when I found out she was not only making a more budget kiddie line, but that it would be exclusively sold at Target stores! Sure, I don’t have any children just yet, but it’s not too early to start collecting swag, right? OK, so that might be a little crazy, but this girl right here does not care. I just may try to squeeze into that perfect little tutu skirt! {God help me if I have a daughter.} Let’s just hope it doesn’t result in another Missoni debacle.

{30 Days of Fashion}: Day 16

January 16th, 2011:

Top; Harajuku Lovers found at Loehmann’s
Skinny jeans; Target
Faux converse; Gap
Watch; Crow
Polish; Essie’s Mint Candy Apple
Shades; Forever 21

Gwen Stefani is my idol. I would really love to be her when I grow up, Gavin Rossdale included. Anywho, I basically love anything she creates, including her fashion lines: L.A.M.B. and Harajuku Lovers. Luckily, I can score both at my nearby Nordstrom Rack and Loehmann’s for half the price, which makes both my heart and wallet happy. Sweet. I loved everything about this top, from it’s ghetto 80’s feel to the cut. It had to be mine! I immediately thought it would look great paired with skinny jeans, and whaddayaknow – it did!

I rocked this outfit to a great late brunch at POC in Coral Gables with friends and then shortly after a food-induced coma, to the Sports Grill to catch up with another pair of good friends. It was a nice way to spend a Sunday, and even better since I knew Monday was a holiday! I hope you all have a great day, whether you off or not. Thanks, MLK!
