the fuzzier the sweater, the better. Have you ever googled what angora bunnies look like, if you haven't you should. They are so so cute, I want to get a friend for Sir Isaac Newton. I don't think I'll ever be able to bring myself to buy any new angora sweaters, but vintage ones I don't feel as bad about.

What I've found lately, is I just like to wear all my favorite things all together. I'm not sure thats the best way to do it, but I don't know another way. I found these Marc Jacobs heels on sale online, and they had to be part of my glitter shoe menagerie. I'm such a sucker for anything with glitter.

Came across this vintage 60's sequin number at a vintage shop in burbank and knew it had to come home with me. We're very happy together.

Let's be honest, if I could dress up everyday in heels and all the fancy clothes I dream of I would. But I have a real job, something that I've noticed lately is kind of rare within the blogging realm. I'm a real person with real problems like bills, I have a real demanding job at a dynamic company doing a zillion things a day, I don't wear make up everyday, and prefer flats to heels. I think it's important not to take yourself so seriously. So on cold days like this, I wear whatever is clean and sort of matches. This sweater/blanket/scarf in one deal is always a top contender for me on lazy days like this.

Wore this to the Jill Stuart Show yesterday morning. In an attempt to avoid wearing any form of outerwear whenever I'm in a cold place, I do this thing where I layer 3 long sleeve bodysuits, and 3 pairs of tights under all my clothes. Works pretty well when I plan to be indoors as much as possible, but after wearing this for about 3 hours I decided to go change and put on a proper coat.

For FW2012 Jill Stuart did super pretty dresses with unexpected cut outs, along with aubergine colored coats, a couple all mesh with sequin detailing numbers, fur stoles & wispy wavy hair. My favorite piece was the toddler-eque onsie. But I'm predictable in that sense. I would have taken photos at the show, but lets face it, style.com serves that purpose quite perfectly.

There is nothing more unexciting to me than watching sports on TV, so in an attempt to be as girly as possible while watching a football game with my Fiance I wore my favorite vintage suede skirt. I made him go shopping with me the whole day before, so I think it was fair. I've had and worn this skirt for over 6 years now and I simply adore it. Every time I wear it the leather gets a bit softer and worn in, and the fact that it was given to me by a special boss from my first job only makes it that much more special.

It's a new year, and a new post finally. Hope 2012 has been treating everyone nicely! As for me, I've been extremely busy, working and shooting a lot. In my spare time between sleeping and shopping online, I got engaged! I've been trying (although not successfully my lack of organizational skills is killing me here) to plan some sort of engagement party.

For some reason, I'm really obsessed with the color green right now, it's all I want to wear. I also recently had dinner with some of my friends at Coach, where they gave me this pretty amazing bag. It's the classic Willis that we all know and love, but updated a little. Although I'm always a little skeptical when companies try to reinvent something that has been such an icon for so many years, why mess with it if its working, I'm actually pretty impressed with this re-do. I absolutely love the buttery soft leather and the pale pink shade, which I'm always attracted to since it's easy to pair with almost any outfit.

Some requirements that a great sweater must have: good color, fun pattern of some sort, pockets, cozy but not itchy. This sweater fulfills my wildest sweater dreams, hand-stitched lady golfers and all. Found it while vintage shopping with my good friend Denni a while ago. Whenever I wear a vintage piece, I remember where I bought it and who I was with and why I got it and it's great to be reminded of good friends!

If you read my blog (those rare times that i post?!) you probably know that I love two things: glitter and clear stuff. These were the only shoes that I have been dying over in a long long time, so I'm so excited to add them to my arsenal of glitter twinkle toe shoes. Also, I have to say, it's pretty freeing to wear your coat as a dress.

I hope it starts getting cold and rainy in LA, I didn't really have a summer because I've been so busy with work so I want to move along and start my fall and winter already.

I always find myself throwing this sweater over all my outfits. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Oh well! I spent last weekend gardening and thrift store hoping for great housewares. I went looking for a nice table but instead I came home with a lamp and inca bookends. I'm still searching for that perfect table, I'm sure i'll find it soon!

Been spending most my mornings just sitting around reading a good book. I've always been this way, but lately I've gotten much more hermit-like and would rather stay here and cook or read then go out. Nothing better then home. Helps me reflect and reevaluate what's important in my life and focus on those things and people.

Sometimes a girl needs to loosen up and shake it around to all those good old songs you remember from 7th grade. I always find myself randomly shaking the bottom half of my body to these songs while working, driving, eating, whenever. It's body roll time!

More cats, because I cant control myself. I mean it's a cat birthday party on a shirt, can it get any better? Found this gem at one of my favorite thrift stores. I get a lot of questions about which thrift & vintage stores to go to in LA, I might do a post about that soon if I'm not too lazy. Off to work now, but if you guys haven't yet be sure to enter to win a giftcard to fashiolista here!
