January 2013

Good day, all. 

Happy 2013. Been a little while so I need to catch up.

Here, I'm wearing a Banana Republic coat from 2008, an INC Woman dress from the same time, a J. Crew clutch and Manolo Blahnik sandals. I was attending a wedding.

About six days later, I attended my sorority's Founders' Day celebration. Sweater by Eloquii (the Limited's plus collection), skirt by Talbots Woman, shoes by Manolo Blahnik. Not shown: RAN Enterprises cream Birkin-style handbag.

I have to get better.

Second Saturday night out

Meninhas,

I'm out AGAIN. Two Saturdays in a row.

So I came up with this.

Tunic by Marina Rinaldi.
Jeans by Ellen Tracy (yes, the same ones I wore last week. It's cold, y'all).
Shoes by Ann Taylor.
Bag by J. Crew.
Jewelry by Majorica.

Happy AKAversary, baby, got you on my mind!

Good afternoon.

Last night, went to Cafe Chloe in downtown San Diego to dinner and laughter with six of the nine women I was initiated into Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. back in December 2000. We are the Millennium Pearls of Epsilon Xi Omega.

I wore a bronze leather jacket from Terry Lewis Classic Luxuries, brown cashmere sweater by  Ralph Lauren Black Label, dark denim trousers by Ellen Tracy, brown satin slingbacks from J. Crew and a navy Renaud Pellegrino evening bag. Look was completed with Majorica baroque pearl necklace and bracelet, and large CZ stud earrings from the California Gift Show. Two shots follow. Second shot for the bag detail.

Scent was Tom Ford Amber Absolute. Hairpiece, Sensationnel HZ-8010, TL236.

Birthday party

Good day, all. 

I went to a soror's birthday party last night.

The outfit: Tadashi Shoji dress, Zara bag and Manolo Blahnik shoes. I also did a bag closeup. 

Boule 2012: the outfits, day 4

The most challenging outfit day. Started out in all-white (top pic). Sweater: Talbots. Skirt: Talbots Woman. T-shirt: J. Crew. Bag: Banana Republic. Shoes: Salvatore Ferragamo.

In the middle, I went to a J. Crew cardigan and Carlisle sleeveless shell. The not-shown bag and shoe combo is Manolo Blahnik sandals and Cobe's bag. Majorica jewelry, as usual.

Finally, for an evening crawl, a Tadashi Shoji dress, my sister's borrowed pashmina and the Ann Taylor/J. Crew Collection evening bag/shoe combination.

Boule 2012: the outfits, day 3

On Tuesday, July 24, I had eclectic outfits for Boule. On top was my daytime fit. It was a Talbots Woman serpentine silk dress. Paired it with my Manolo Blahnik camel Carolyne slingbacks and my whiskey Cobe's Birkin-style bag, plus Majorica pearls. 

Later, I had dinner with a special sorority sister. The hot pink dress is ASOS Curve found at a thrift store. The scarf is the same one I wore on Monday night. Shoes by Sergio Rossi and bag by Ann Taylor. Majorica jewelry as usual.

Boule 2012: the outfits, day 2

Boule got into full swing on July 23.

On the daytime outfit, sorry for the horrid pic. My phone was on its last legs. The sweater is from Ann Taylor. Dress by Talbots Woman. Shoes, Manolo Blahnik. Bag: Reina/Suarez. Sunnies: Claude Montana. Gloves: My mother's. Yes, it was cold enough to wear gloves.

For the nighttime, I'm mixing greens. Dress is J. Crew (their wedding/party collection is now extended past size 16). Shawl's borrowed from sister. Shoes: J. Crew Collection. Bag: Ann Taylor. Jewelry: Majorica.
