A Collar of Fur

Jacket: Kisses - Top/Pants/Necklace: XXI - Shoes: Deena & Ozzy - Fur Collar: Ross

I've had this fur collar for a few days now and I was planning on wearing it out in the most extravagant way. But on this day I saw it laying across an armchair and decided what the heck and through it own with this outfit. And what can I say? I like the way it came out.

This look definitely corresponds with the thought I have been having about my personal style. Everyone always asks "how would you describe your style." And most people respond with "preppy" "rocker" "minimalistic." And I think figured myself out. Its a mix of casual and chic. I love to take dressy pieces and make them fit for everyday like. When this is achieved I feel super fashion forward and very cooool. Are you following me? Hopefully this all makes sense but I am on my way to pin pointing my look. I wanna be known for something, ya know?

Any who I have recovered from my cold and am now nursing from a root canal surgery. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and I'm actually quite mobile. I'm thinking this will be a speedy and painless recovery but we shall see. I guess I could be known as the blogger whose always ill.

Heels: Mossimo

There comes a time where a girl looks into a part of her closet and comes across a piece. It may be an article of clothing... It may be piece of jewelry. But whatever it is, when she spots it she utters a few magical words: "Holy shit I forgot I had these!"

I had this moment the other day when I came across these shoes and realized that the style was definitely on trend at the moment. The two stand style and the futuristic heel/shiny heel are just up the ally of several pairs I've seen lately. There is a little bit in me that wishes the heel was see through. I even thought of painting the heel silver. And after coming down from that possible DIY failed venture I decided to leave them as is.

But I'm super excited to style these this season. I'm raking my brain on what I could put with it. If you have any suggestions let me know. They are definitely welcome!

Coat/Bag/Shoes: H&M - Pants: Downtown LA - Mens Plaid Button-up: Thrifted - Tank: XXI - Scarf: Made By Me - Watch: Given To Me

Today I decided to get out of the house and do some venturing around the local parts of my city. On my way to browse the vintage shops and spend some time in one of my favorite coffee shops I came across this stoop. I decided this would definitely the right place to take photos. I also admire it because I am looking into a new place by the end of the year. (You have to have a head start of these things... or at least I do).

Any who how was your day? Do anything interesting?

Happy New Years guys! So I decided that I would being the year off by apologizing for my absence toward the end of last year and also let you guys on what the New Year means for me.

I photographed some of the things that I believe will be essential to my day to day sanity in 2013. The first thing being several of the lip products I can't put down at the moment. I can't forget about an accessory that means so much to me (a watch gifted from my lovely boyfriend). Next is a a notebook where I jot down all of my to-do list and ideas for the blog and my beauty channel. I debated buying a new planner and I'm still on the fence but this one is so cute. Tucked inside the notebook is Starbucks gift card which means lots of Passion Fruit Teas and coffeeshop blogging. The juice is a new favorite which I just stocked up on after trying a bottle. This represents my efforts to make healthy choices in the new years. I also plan on using my iPad a lot more for those times when I'm mobile. It fits right in my purse so its perfect! My list of resolutions is hiding there too!

I know everyone says that resolutions are pointless but I have decided to take a different approach this time around. I think making the decision not to make resolution is overrated!! I'm ready for a fresh start and I am all about being inspired and putting that to use. The insanely stylish Karla Deras is currently my screen saver at the moment and it's definitely motivation.

I'm also going to do a little bit of renovating on Roses are Red so don't freight when the layout changes mid browsing. I love you guys and Happy New Years!
