monogram necklace

so i finally ordered my own monogram necklace as a birthday gift for myself and i am counting the days (and weeks) till i get them. since they are made to order, it takes about 5 weeks for delivery. the agony of waiting begins.

i am sure it's worth the wait. they are absolutely darling and it was hard to choose. i opted for the yellow-gold plated large monogram from bauble bar. AND if you sign up, you immediately get a $10 discount off your first order! you can sign up HERE!

today's obsession : yosi samra

i just discovered them recently and wished i had found them way before. they are soooo comfy and perfect for travelling or simply going shopping or hanging out with the kids. very casual but very chic. 

they fold well (comes with a little pouch) and fits in the tiny corner of your purse - ideal for if you need to switch out with it at the end of a busy day wearing heels. reasonably priced, they are my latest obsession. they are available HERE or HERE!

enjoy them!

cover it up

our local weather is just weird this time of the year. one day it's freezing, the next day it's in the humid 80s. with that said, a lightweight jacket or a vest would be the perfect cover-up to have. 

and since, all of these are under $ 35 ~ i'd love to share them with you! 

all available at FOREVER 21.

golden globes part 2


with spring just around the corner, it's no surprise that most stars at the golden globes opted to do a lighter colored dress for the evening. big trend last night was the nude/blush/ivory color that was worn by some of the gorgeous actresses! 

i think the whole fresh-faced angelic look was perfectly worn by charlize!

golden globes part 1

i had a fun night watching (and tweeting) ricky gervais and the stars appear in the golden globes last night. i especially was excited to see them strut the red carpet and taking notes who wears what. here's one trend last night that i think was lovely. 

peacock shades of blue, blue green and dark teal. it was amazing to see them on these actresses as it was perfect on their skin tone and the look was really rich and luxurious.

for the ladies


i know it's kinda silly to do a gift guide since we all know a beautiful bunch of flowers and chocolates are just a few of what we really want on valentine's day. and maybe a romantic dinner out.

but i can't simply help but share this quick guide to those husbands and boyfriends who want to give something extra special for their loved ones. and for us ladies, who just want to surprise your fab girlfriends!
