Taking a fashionable break...

I've noticed that it has been a month since I have written and that my posts have become less frequent... It has been three years since I started this blog as an expression of my obsession with style... and while I will never sacrifice my love of style, I feel it is important that I am fair to my little blog and go on an announced fashionable break... until we meet again.. Au reviour my style obsessed ones!!!

Can't hardly wait...

I bid goodbye to the office and now it's time to prepare for a much needed break... me and the boy are off to tend to some last minute things for our trip to St. Barth's.... Did I mention that I can't hardly wait???!!! See you in a little over a week...

Brrrrrrr..... baby, it's cold outside...

Even though I was born and raised in New York where the winters are always white, I spend many winter days surprised at how I made it through all these years with such unbearable weather... bone chilling cold has kept me cooped up, sleeping early and counting the days until spring... but knowing that I have one week until I am in the warmth of St. Barth, I am keeping the faith... enjoy the weekend!!!

Valentine's Day wishes...

Roses filled the room,

soft lingerie hung nearby

sweets sealed the seduction, 

while red marked the spot for the love that filled the air!!!

While I have been a bit more occupied than usual, I couldn't go without wishing you an endless day of romance!!!

Obsession: Belstaff...

I have been noticing pictures of Belstaff ready to wear everywhere... beautifully photographed, jackets appear strong, structured to perfection... sweaters showed an attention to detail that you can practically envision feeling, running your fingers along the woven knit... 

Walking into their brand new Madison Avenue store, I have to tell you... it is all TRUE... enjoy your weekend, back to regular blogging next week!!!

Running with heels...

With Hurricane Sandy hitting the Northeast, my out of town trip involved a lot of running around... running to beat the storm... running to catch the train... running to see relatives without electricity before the sun set... running to catch the bus... and running across town, several times... but, I am off again for a long weekend before being home bound for a bit... until next week, well wishes and positive prayers!!!

Obsession: Bold gold necklaces...

My latest jewelry obsession is bold gold necklaces...  Not just for summer with sun kissed skin,  but great for making a statement while layered up against the chill...

What type of pocketbook girl are you...

Going through my closets this past week, I sorted through all the pocketbooks I have... and as I placed them into their new spots, I wondered... what type of pocketbook girl are you???

Are you a clutch girl or are you... 

an arm bag girl??? Do you like to hold your bag... 

or, do you like to wear it close to your heart???

Or do you wear yours on your shoulder as you're out the door... however you wear your bag, wear it well and have a happy Monday!!!
