Current Obsessions: Lilac Dreams.

I'm not sure what it is about this color, but I'm totally falling for lilac right now. When I was very little, my room was a certain shade of lilac (made my father repaint about 34 times before finding just the right one) but circa now, when paired with lived-in red, glossy white, and cool black pieces, lilac is so super chic. File as in love all over again.

Short Shorts Saturday.

Spending the day perusing some of my more favorite (and affordable) shops in Los Angeles with one of my dearest friend's from school, we managed not to melt away from all the heat. Although I was rocking some white denim shorts (from Forever 21, obvi) I was dreaming of wearing something closer to the one's Taylor Tomasi-Hill was spotted in during NYFW. If only, if only. File as #insane.

Insta-Files: Dreams Can Come True.

...now if only it was actually my size and I wasn't holding a wad of the fabric back with my other hand. Guess I'll just have to wait a little bit longer to add some Rodarte to my closet (better news for my wallet than my very sad closet.) File under *heavy sigh.*

P.S. See it on-the-runway here!

NYFW Spring 2013: Marchesa.

Just wanted to share a little tidbit of glam today, in the form of Marchesa's Spring 2013 collection. A little Bollywood and a whole lot of gorgeous, the Marchesa gals always know how to put on quite a show. File as needing a little escape today.

Game Changer: Victoria Beckham Spring 2013.

Let me start by apologizing for not being up-to-the-minute on all the NYFW fabulousness. Maybe I was just burnt out after FNO (see the LA recap here) or maybe just too busy with work planning the next big promotion and finding my next apartment, but the last thing I wanted to do this week was pour over fashion week photos. Well, after seeing the Victoria Beckham Spring 2013 collection, the tables have turned. Sleek, sexy, perfect and always on-point, the collection made me want to jump right into spring; thick cable-knit sweaters be damned. So, now that I'm back on track, stay tuned for my loveliness from NYFW because there is no better feeling than a spark of inspiration. File as until the next runway...

House Hunters.

If only apartment hunting could be as simple as decorating one, I would have been living in my new place yesterday. (Tiny rant time here.) Who knew that with all the apartments in Los Angeles, all the ones that I seem to be interested in are already leased to someone else probably much more fabulous than myself. (Craigslist, you are no longer my ally in this search.) So I find myself endlessly calling, requesting, viewing, cringing and feeling let down by my options out there. I'm just barely trying to hold on to the hope that my apartment is still somewhere in the Los Angeles Area. One thing for sure is that I'll already have lots of decorating ideas to fill it with whenever I find it. File as still searching.

Recap: FNO at Beverly Center.

As I'm sure you all know, FNO this year was totes maj. From the freebies, to the GWPs, the mocktails and the cocktails there was fun to be had by all. Bloggers, celebs, models and more were out and about at Beverly Center and beyond to celebrate the ultimate shopping night and lucky for me, only one party-goer had the same F21 Exclusive Collection black and white chevron dress on as me (well, not technically a party-goer, but rather one of the gals walking in the exclusive Forever 21 fashion show). Although I was expecting some kind of catastrophic disaster that night (i.e. DJ playing Tyga's "Make it Nasty", photo booth falling over and crushing infants, models heads exploding, etc.) the event went on without a single hitch. Not only that, but I was so thrilled to see all the familiar faces out to support (#GoTeamForever). So with the bosses happy and wallet still full of money (couldn't even take a break to shop that night) I promise not the utter those three little letters for the next few months...seriously. File as let fashion week begin.

#FNOforever

Can you blame me for being away these past few days? The official disease that is spreading rampant this week, otherwise known as #FNOfever has taken me victim. I'm pretty sure my friends are completely sick of me saying those three little letters, but I have to admit that I am more than a little excited to get this party started. Being that this is my first official FNO with Forever 21, no expense was spared in the curating of the perfect outfit, not to mention the perfect party. Come stop by the Beverly Center and say hello if you're in town. Get your red lip done, snap a photo inside the giant Polaroid frame (#totesamaze), and sip on mocktails like you're not even 21 yet. I'll be the girl with the red lip running around with a ridiculously gigantic smile on my face the whole time. File as blot spot!
