Betty and Veronica.

I think style comes in two forms.  Your either a Betty or a Veronica.  But my absolute favorite is when you combine the two.  Good girl versus bad girl.  It could be a pretty flower sundress combined with an attitude, chain and metal jewelry, and some deconstructed boots.  Or...combining lace and leather is one of my favorite ways to do this. 

Which one are you?  A Betty or a Veronica?

Snakebites and Motorcycles.

As I mentioned before, my favorite line right now is Style Stalker.  I love the cutouts, the open backs, the   sweet textures.  Oh, and I love the bike too!

Gossip Bebe

Mondays are a terrible day, aren't they?  Because they are such a terrible day, I always treat myself to one amazing thing.  Sometimes its a shirt, sometimes its a fudge sundae... today is was raspberry hot cocoa with more marshmallows than cocoa.  It always cheers me up to give me a little boost, and I curl up to watch my Gossip Girl episode and drool over their amazing outfits.  Another great thing about today, despite its horrible Mondayness, was that the Holiday 2010 Bebe catalogue came in the mail!!!  This is what I want most out of it (I think I'm a little obsessed over black lace right now):

Pink Sunrises and Roses.

This morning on my way to work,  I enjoyed the most beautiful pink sunrise!  I felt so lucky to be awake to enjoy it.  Such a great reminder about how every day starts new and fresh, and we can always make it whatever we want it to be.  It is a crazy thing that I have learned over the past year, the power of your thoughts.  No one can ever make you think the thoughts you do except for you- so choose to make them about something postitive.  No matter how hard it feels to let go of negative thoughts you do have the power.  It takes a while to learn how to control your thoughts, but once you do, it will change your life.  It changed mine. So, today think about all of the good things in your life, no matter how small, as long as they make you feel happy.

Sunday Night In.

Some things I am going to miss about home... baking in my own kitchen, getting catalogues in the mail, watching movies in my theatre, playing Frank Sinatra songs on my baby grand, my puppy cuddling with me, and my overly comfortable bed.

Secret recipe. 

Classic and Glamourous.

I am loving this very classic look (along with the pretty backgrounds).  How pretty is this brown on brown outfit?! I adore it.
