Monique a la mode

Finally wore this Ann Taylor snuggy that I bought in Salt Lake over spring break…

Wearing:
Ann Taylor Loft Snuggy, Chanel bag, Lucky Brand ruffle blouse, Givenchy Pearls, Fossil Sunnies, The usual skinny jeans and Anne Michelle heels.

I think cream is my favorite neutral. There’s something so comfy but prestine about it.
These sunglasses have quickly become my favorite I love the movie star quality about them. It’s the ridiculous size for sure.

My Juicy Couture iPhone case came today! Sooo excited, it’s adorable.
I forgot that the button was a heart when I ordered it.

Icing on the cake baby!

Happy Monday Kids.

XOXO,

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about what I carry around in a purse from day to day and I figured I’d dump everything out of my big juicy bag and show you.

Sunglasses, my iPhone that i’m permanently glued to, some mini nail polish (this is essie’s new turqouise and caicos), keys, wallet, some antistress blackberry tea, my bejeweled measuring tape, lipgloss, mascara, powder, magnifying compact, a few portable scents (viva la juicy and harajuku lovers lil angel) , a cannon G11, some magazines (usually vogue, teen vogue or vanity fair), a great pen and my little danish gnome (for luck)

I dunno if anyone remembers the Marc Jacobs mouse flats that were all rubber and came out in oh…I dunno like fall ’08?

Well while perusing through saks I saw a gorgeous patent blue flat and stopped dead in my tracks. These flats had ears, whiskers and a tail…and I realized something. These weren’t just any pair of overpriced patent leather flats…they were the new marc jacobs mouse flats!

Are those not the most gorgeous things you’ve ever seen! I only a few pairs of flats…some Calvin kleins, springy Burberrys, a great pair of Anne Kleins and some basic black BCBG paris flats.

I may love heels more than anything, but this may be a pair of flats I just can’t live without.

Besides,

The stitched tail on the back is ah-dorable.

This weekend was the best, went to a few parties,

had a spa day (olive oil treatment, anti stress chocolate mask, aromatherapy candles etc.) and started working on my dress for prom.

Isn’t the fabric incredible? I’m a sucker for silky chiffons.

May has finally arrived and I couldn’t be happier, my birthday’s just around the corner and in a number of days I’ll finally turn 16!

XOXO,

p.s.

finally bought the essie resort collection and am in love with it! Lapis of Luxory is currently residing on my fingers. Also, these MJ flats not only come in an array of colors but have a sister gem version:

You know that phrase
“Dress for the job you want, not the job you have” ?

Well I always dress where I’d rather be…and right now it’s on vacation.

Wearing:

Seychelles patent espadrilles, Nicole Lee tote, Reworked vintage dress,

AE jean mini, Giant Mexican sunhat, Fossil Sunglasses, Pooka shell bracelet from Hawaii,

And cocktail ring borrowed from mom.

This print makes me really happy

I found these sunny espadrilles hiding behind a giant steve madden bag at Contessa.

I’m so bummed they’re closing!!

They make me think of vacation.

Things have been pretty slow around here lately…I’ve been doing nothing but sleeping and coloring.

If I ever get a cat I’ll make sure he looks like this…his name with be Henry.

Happy Monday kids.

XOXO,

P.S.

This outfit reminded me of an editorial from Italian vogue called in great shape.

I’ll probably end up sharing the whole thing eventually but for now, my favorite shot will have to suffice.

So we ran around Portland all weekend and stopped by Saint Cupcake to pick up a few delicious goodies.

The flowers outside of Zupan’s were really pretty. I couldn’t resist the roses!

Wearing:

Nordstrom BP boyfriend blazer, Lucky Brand carpenter pants, Givenchy pearls, Anne Michelle heels,

GAP tissue tee, Snake cuff and Juicy Couture tote thats hidden by my blazer…

This is probably one of the greatest statement pieces ever. I scooped it up while I was in Salt Lake.

We had tons of fun at Saint Cupcake.

The sprinkle wall made me really happy. We ended up with a box of carrot cake dots.

Soooooooo good…

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I’m exausted.

XOXO,

P.S.

I fall pretty easy for nail polish…and Essie’s earned so many brownie points I’m in love with everything they do.

They hooked me with Mint candy apple from their winter collection and the entire spring collection of lilacs, bubblegum pinks and tart oranges rendered me speechless.

But the resort collection tops everything because of one thing.

Periwinkle. They made the perfect periwinkle. It’s official name is Lapris of Luxory….rest assured it will be mine.
