Skinny.

Gold Watches.

So, I have been loving big, chunky gold watches since I first eyed Taylor Jacobson's gold beauty (formally of The Rachel Zoe Project) quite some time ago. I love it paired with a really simple outfit. It's a touch of flash; a little sparkly, a little gaudy.

The fantastic thing about watches is that there are thousands of options at many different price points, including this chunky Michael Kors beauty, this Anne Klein watch with the affordable price-tag, and this funky find from Urban Outfitters for less than $40.

Throw it on your wrist with some super dark shades for a seriously fierce look.

Me likey.

MIA.

Hey! I'm sorry I've been so MIA. I've been floating around the Caribbean
in a big ol' boat. Ahh, living the life. I'll be updating this week so stay tuned!

Paris in the Spring.

Let me start by saying that I am, unfortunately, not going to Paris this spring. But, if I were I would love to use a list like this to help me pack.

Here's what to wear and what not to wear:

1. "No white runners/sneakers/trainers. Reebok, Asics, Nike—honey, just. Don’t. Do. It. If you can actually run a marathon or work out in them, they are athletic shoes, and they scream CLUELESS AMERICAN TOURIST like nothing else." I couldn't agree more about this one, both in Europe and in the states. Just say no to athletic sneakers anywhere but the gym!

2. "Scarf required." Seriously, those Europeans really love their scarves year round. And for good reason. They instantly make any outfit look more chic and polished.

Ask Miss A's Vahni Georgoulakos suggests:

-A pair of flat leather boots.
-Skinny jeans or slim cut pants. Tucked into boots or worn with stilettos.
-Long tops worn under short jackets. Lots of play with proportion here.
-Pile on the layers—the more the better. And don’t leave the hotel without a scarf on!
-Lots of jewelry. Don’t be afraid to wear everything you own at once. Europe is a fun place to experiment with your look.
-A large handbag.

Sure, everyone talks up Parisian style but it's simple when you actually think about it; tailored cuts, lots of layers, mix of proportions and a great pair of shoes!

Amazing Girlfriends.

I have amazing girlfriends. I've always known this, but have
really felt it in particular as of lately. So many of my girlfriends are getting
raises
, starting new jobs, getting positive reviews at work and doing
big things in life! How lucky am I to have such hard-working, independent,
smart girlfriends? They are all very inspiring to me in their own ways!

911 Call of Cuteness.



This video is all sorts of cute. 5-year-old Savannah calls 911 after her dad has a heart attack and the 911 call that ensues is so heart-warming. If this doesn't make you laugh nothing will!

Rude Boy.



I have had Rihanna's 'Rude Boy' in my head non-stop since my room-mate introduced it to me the other night. The video has a very MIA-vibe, no? I'm feelin' this song.
