The Hunger Games



I cannot WAIT until March 23rd!  I read all 3 books over a weekend about 2 months ago and haven't been able to stop thinking about them since.  When the images were being released of the costumes I freaked out and have probably watched the trailer 20 times. Can you say obsessed?  I want to be Effie Trinket, I would embody her character just to wear her fancy frocks and easter egg wigs.  With word on the street that Rodarte was designing, I was even more intrigued.  Hats off to the Costume Designer, Judianna Makovsky, I'm eagerly awaiting to watch your magic unfold!

Jewelmint Giveaway!


Last month JewelMint sent me a credit to try out their new site, and I must say, I'm a bit impressed. I chose the Crystal Cascase Earrings and the Lady Luck Stackable Rings.  My items arrived in the most beautiful velvet lined box.  I wear my rings everyday and just adore them!  I'm sure this spring will bring the perfect occasion for me to show off my new earrings.  Which I might add are gorgeous.  I'm just realizing that this image really does represent me in a nutshell, both sides of my fashion personality: Chic Casual + Classic Glamour.

Because I adore you... I'm giving away a JewelMint credit to one lucky reader!  Just head over to JewelMint and sign up to become a member then leave a comment below with your email. Giveaway ends  2/29/12.

Tortoise Shell Love.

after my peepers spotted this ah-mazing! bag on the runway I knew
 tortoise shell was going to be one of my new addictions.

Always listen to your heart



...or maybe just your fortune.  This lovely little message was waiting for me on the sidewalk this morning.

I just wanted to take a moment to say hello and catch up.  I've had so much going on for the past few months and have neglected my blog. It's not that I wanted to, but last I checked there were only 24 hours in a day, and for me that just isn't enough.  I'm finally up and walking again after my bad ankle sprain but I can only walk short distances.  This hasn't been easy, if you have struggled with an injury than I'm sure you can relate.

So far 2012 has been about me getting myself on track.  I'm still working on it but I'm headed in the right direction.  I shared with you my true resolution for 2012 and I am keeping up with it everyday.  It's funny because any other year when my resolution is to lose weight or take a trip, I haven't been able to stick with it, but this is different.   This is about me as a whole.  Me, myself and I.  When I promise to put myself first then everything else will fall into place. The healthy lifestyle, the money, the relationships and the Oscar.
Oh! wait- uh, what?... yes, it's true my goal is to win a little golden man for Costume Design one day. Believe.

As you may of noticed I have a new banner design and a few other new tidbits here and there.  Stylist Diva turns 4 this month and I have a fun, little surprise in the works too, so stay tuned!

So my darlings, the moral of the story is to "Forget the doubts and fears that are creeping into your heart".
Listen to your heart but when the negative starts to slip in, remind it that it's not welcome. Conquer your fears, push yourself beyond limits and reach for the stars!

Don't you just love my background?  Love my minkoff mini mac.
