Monique a la mode

An inspiration board for the week.

Gossip Girl, Melrose Place, 90210 and Americas Next Top Model all started this week and I’m sooo excited.

Had my final drivers ed class tonight and passed my department of licensing written test!

It was supposed to snow today, which it didn’t. I laughed at first but I’m kind of sad….snow in March would be fun.

The pink heeled peeptoes were worn by a character in Melrose place they’re Zanotti.

As thrilling as the pink acrylic heel is the pair of Zanotti’s I would pick up would be this strappy little number right here.

I’m off to bed.

XOXO,

P.S.

Today’s piece of furniture is the Bocco by Studio 65 (the lips sofa)

Goodnight.

My dearest readers let me first apologize for my untimely absence.

It’s been a little crazy lately especially this weekend. early release thursday, no school firday, and then a late start monday.

This weekend was filled with nothing. nuh-thing but partying (birthday partying in particular). So I think it’s appropriate that today happens to be the blogs 1st birthday!

A big thanks to everyone reading.

…

Today was super sunny, a little brisk but sunshiny goodness none the less.

Wearing:

Kenneth Cole vinyl jacket and sweater, raybans, nina heels, random pearl necklace, and a childs skirt from target

While on a trip to portland we ran into this fabric store we’ve driven by for years and have meant to go in it but we just kept forgetting.

It’s called the whole 9 yards

There we met Gussy an adorable rottweiler/german shepherd mix who was very snoozy.

We also came across a section of adorable childrens fabric.

the little robots killed me man. I wanted to buy it all but had no clue what i’d make out of it.

After a silly stroll through our new go-to fabric store we ate lunch at East Burn right down the street.

The roasted palentas here are insane they’re soooo good. and filling.

Mom ordered some white bean soup while I went with a voagie and a salad (their champagne vinaigrette is delicious!)

We also hit up this awesome cement place on burnside.

If only the little baja sign could have come home with us..We met another dog named Rosy and she is from  Mexico

She was sooo soft.

I hope everyone had a good Monday, I’m off to tennis practice.

XOXO,

P.S.

favorite oscar dress goes to Elizabeth Banks in Versace!

As promised the INCREDIBLE, danced Spring ‘04 Alexander Mcqueen show.

Don’t usually make them this long, but this was an exception.

Almost drove into a cop car and killed us this morning (didn’t have my permit on my either).

Goooood times driving.

Mmmmmmm Ben and Jerry’s

Nothing like two scoops of chocolate chip cookie dough to make your day better.

Hope everyone’s having a good weekend!

XOXO,

P.S.

two favorite juicy ads ever

Seriously this Kenneth Jay Lane ring has to be my favorite cocktail ring I’ve ever come across and I wish I could buy one. He’s definitely my favorite jewelry designer..

It was a rainy day in Vancouver and I’ve been wanting to post this editorial for a while!

It’s from Harper’s Bazaar Russia, the November issue with Constance Jablonski on the cover.

Such a great editorial.

I wish it would stop raining…I’m just going to watch sleepless in seattle and finnish my latte…

current state of the union:

Latte > Sleep

XOXO,

P.S.

I walked into sephora the other day and the saddest thing happened, As I browsed the well lit glossy aisles of premier designer cosmetics I realized something..

I don’t need to buy anymore makeup…The only thing I could buy would be a few new urban decay eyeliner pencils

I would buy them in:

Mildew

Gunmetal

and

Bourbon

…and possibly baked

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

We’re starting to plant flowers in all of the patio pots

I’m so excited!

Wearing:

L.A.M.B. cardigan, Betsey Johnson earrings and necklace, Raybans, Abercrombie jeans, Kenneth Cole watch,

Random gray shirt and Anne Michelle heels.

Pretty relaxed today, L.A.M.B. cardigan!! When did that happen? Defffffinitely the best find of the day yesterday.

I found the jeans on sale at abercrombie 10 minutes before the mall closed while my mom was buying gadgets in Williams-Sonoma they were the last 0 in the store!

Also found a replacement school bag at j.crew

It’s huuuuuuuuuuuuuge! Only $ 10 at your local J.crew!

We hit up the grilled cheese grill, so sooo good

I had a hot brie which consists of ham, brie cheese, spicy mustard, grilled bell peppers, and tomatoes, on sourdough!

It reminded me of kindergarten..

My juicy bag needs some sort of ornament since the one it came with is ridiculous and I refuse to run around with a cowbell I think this will do nicely

Just came across Heidi Klums Golden Globe dress this year….

and to be honest I don’t even really know what to do with it. I always forget she’s married to Seal.

Happy Monday Kids,

XOXO

P.S.

Fantastic Plastic Machine. Listen.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Shopping trip was huuuugely successful! Managed to scoop up a L.A.M.B cardigan, a cute Betsey Johson necklace and tons of other goodies! (which I will share very soon.) I’m so happy washington square added a fro-yo place.

Non dairy and Fat free, they know me too well.

The cherry blossom trees in Portland are starting to bloom and it’s gorgeous.

I’ve been saying it for years.

“Bebe + Kim Kardashian” and it finally happened.

A few shots from the collaboration:

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

XOXO,

P.S.

tried on a hundred pairs of aviators today and as much as I wanted to buy the Pucci ones they just weren’t quite right, ended up with some silly pink F21 ones that were $ 5.40, hah!

Goodnight kids

Sooo glad it’s the weekend I can’t even tell you how nice it is to have a break.

Wearing:

Givenchy Chocolate Pearls, Kenneth Cole watch, Betsey Johnson earrings, Raybans (thanks ma),

Random button-up, Joelle’s jeans, Saints and Sailors wedges and a Blazer from Victoria’s secret that I bought in San Diego a couple years ago.

Almost threw these out the other day, then I realized that they were the only red shoe I have to work with.

Hopefully that’ll change when we go shopping tomorrow. After two weekends of ditching me I finally backed my mother into a corner this weekend to go since they finally published. (Victory! haha!!)

Just got done watching the hangover again…I forget how funny that movie is.

“We can’t leave the baby here, there’s a fucking tiger in the bathroom”

goooooood stuff. Hah, had the most relaxing Saturday. Grabbed a latté with my boyfriend and lounged around all day.

Doesn’t even look like Betsey Johnson to me! I love it but I didn’t even recignize it.

Well Kids, busy day tommorow….I’m off to bed!

XOXO,

P.S.

I’ve changed nail colors like 8,000 times this week. Minty candy apple to lilacism to gargantuine green grape and am currently wearing pop art pink. I think i’ll try tart deco tommorow. So far I love the lilacism the best!

And another thing:

Juicy Couture has some cute new charms out.

Favorite is definitely the tea pot

HEART SHAPED SUNNIES? I think sooooooo

What I wore the other day:

Chanel sunnies, Angora leopard cardigan, juicy couture bag, givenchy pearls, kenneth cole watch, nordstroms brand heels, velvet shirt borrowed from mom and the usual skinnies.

I love these heels so much, their satin and sooooo tall.

I got my lilac nail polish! we ran by ulta and i just picked up the spring set plus a pastel green OPI

Hope everyones enjoying the sun around here…it’s such a nice change!

XOXO,

P.S.

I found my betsey johnson posts finally! I thought i’d lost them…

Could use some new jewelry though and I know exactly what I want

Some coolio airplane earrings

And a crazy necklace…

There’s nothing worse than waking up with a fever…Accept waking up with a fever on Valentines day…

Sushi bar and Movie plans with the boyfriend got thrown out the window when I got up fell down shoved a thermometer in my mouth and scream-read what it said.

“102.4!?”

So instead of actually doing anything over my three-day weekend I’ve been sitting on the couch watching “Keeping up with the Kardashians”; Alone.

Oh well… The plaid flannel shirt I scooped up the other day has been my only companion. I’ve decided a portion of my closet’s going to be dedicated to men’s plaid flannel shirts…they’re just so damn comfortable.

Wearing: Lacoste booties, Kenneth Cole watch, J.crew tank, Plaid flannel shirt, Jeans I ripped up a year or so ago and

A necklace from my belly dancing days.

Bought this crazy piece at a nook called ‘the gypsy caravan’ a few years back when I used to belly dance.

I decided funky pastels are my favorite nail polish colors.

I think i’m going to end up buying the entire spring collection of essie polishes.

My favorites are probably:

Tart Deco

And

Neo Whimsical

However, Van D’go look awesome and Pop art pink has a very “Khloe Kardashian” feel since I always see her with baby pink squared off nails.

Wish I was in New York right now…hope everyone’s enjoying fashion week.

XOXO,

P.S.

Lately I’ve been falling in love with a lot of the stuff out at L.A.M.B.

Favorites? :

Isn’t that bag great?! I think I’ve found my new crush…sorry Marc looks like Gwen’s won my heart again.

Happy Presidents Day kids

…and Valentines day

Well kids I don’t know how the Chinese planned the New Year to be on Valentines Day but it just happened to work out that way.

It’s the year of the tiger this year! whooooo..

I threw an inspiration board up…kind of summarizes my thoughts for this week.

Went shopping today with my gorgeous danish friend Kathrine. I scooped up another men’s plaid flannel shirt,

some victorias secret sweats and an angora leopard print cardigan.

I can finally check leopard print cardigan off my list, I’m sooo psyched.

Unfortunately I saw my dream Marc by Marc Jacobs bag at nordstorms…..held it, pet it, carried it….and HATED IT.

I might cry. However, we’ll see what monday shopping with mother holds. Hopefully some new stilettos.

I’m thinking something red and something Burberry.

I’ve decided my new thing is vintage beaded bolero’s from the 80’s (we came back from dinner and the auction had ended like 10 minutes before we got home it killed me.)

I’ve always loved the look of marni wedges…some day when I track a pair down i’m going to buy them on spot.

And as for my purse crisis, it’s going to take a while to get over this bag and frankly I don’t know if I’ll recover.

Hope everyone’s chinese new year/ valentines day is ah-mazing!

XOXO,

P.S.

that crazy sequined coach satchel I’ve mentioned dozens of times?

It’s comes in pink and red. A perfect 600$ valentines day present if I do say so myself.

culprit #1:

And their twin sister, culprit #2:

I think somethings wrong with me because this is the fourth time in a row Peter Frampton’s “Baby I love your way” has graced my crappy laptop speakers.
