new year, new look

i am considering cutting my hair shorter come new year. i browsed a few sites today and found these photos of ashlee from earlier this year and i am really digging her new look. i love that she's sporting giant earrings to add a girly vibe to her boyish crop hair. and i really love her overall look on the farthest right picture - good for her! now if only i can achieve this look....

flats feud

after i had a baby, i have practically stored all my high heels and traded them for my everyday flats. undeniably comfortable and cozy, i wear them daily lending only rare appearances of my wedges or high heels every now and then for special occasions. a friend (and blog reader) sent me a quick note requesting i post various selections of flats perfect for a busy working mom. other than it being comfortable, the pair have to be reasonably priced and chic at the same time. so here are a few choices comparing a premium designer price to a more affordable one...

$ 678 lanvin vs $ 49.50 gap

$ 590 bottega veneta vs $ 245 tory burch

$ 575 chanel vs $ 170 london sole

looklet

i've created quite a few ensembles to make up my fantasy wardrobe courtesy of LOOKLET closet. the possiblities are endless. its like virtual playing paperdolls, so much fun!

 here are a few of my favorites : 

casual done right

i just adore kelly rutherford. she exudes casual elegance. she pairs jeans or sandals with classic accessories that elevates the look. whether it be a timeless handbag, a statement jewelry or the perfect riding boots ~ she does it right. not to mention that all her clothes fit her to a T !

why cant i look like that dropping off my kid at school? lol.
