Designers like Richard Chai, Charlotte Ronson and Peter Som have embraced the maxi length skirt in their collections this year. And I absolutely loved all the looks they have created around it . So I finally decided to try out the Fall 2010 trend as I got ready for work this morning ...well kind of. I don't own a maxi skirt but I definitely rocked maxi dresses during the summer. I combined a simple black tank maxi with a graphic cropped tee I got from UO. Added my combat inspired military boots and huge gold hoops to complete my look. Kind of dramatic. But I like it!

Inspiration : Street Style

Keely and I headed to Barnes & Noble after Living Stones this morning to find me my journal for 2011.Picking a journal is kinda like picking out a handbag I found out. It's not a quick process and there are far too many to choose from, different styles, colors, and sizes. A journal is something that you want to be able to spend a lot of time with; it just has to fit just in your hands. Yet the cover can be deceiving to the pages inside. Some are blank, others are ruled and even some are squared. However in the end, I decided on a plain black Moleskin journal. I just love the feel of their pages when you turn them and how simple it will fit in my handbags.
1. Find a Journal...check!

But of course before we left, we were spread out in the Art section of Barnes & Noble, where all the fashion books are kept. I came across Style Diaries: World Fashion from Berlin to Toyko by Simone Werle and Nylon Street View: The New Nylon Book of Global Style. Both Uh-mazing! So many super rad people with great street style, my favorite! So of course when I came home, I ordered them both on amazon.com! And even better, I used my gift certificate and paid practically nothing for them! Oh I can't wait to get them in the mail!

Now I am off to Starbucks with Keely for some soy lattes and Core Humanities homework!
Great Sunday spent!

Happy New Years

2010 you have been a transforming year for me. I have learned lessons on love and relationships,have gained a new perspective on myself and life, made new friendships, and have matured in my faith. But through all the tears and smiles,I am very ready to start a new year that brings such new beginnings and exciting things!

After a great night of celebrating the new year, I spent the day lounging at my parent's house, which was also much need after a crazy week of starting my wintermester class. Every New Years Day for the past seven years or so, it has been a tradition for my mom to make egg rolls. And every year my sis and I help her wrap dozens of them for the family to feast on the rest of the day, while we watch football. I was hoping to go to Barnes & Noble to find a new journal for 2011, but never really recovered from my food coma today. Counting calories just wasn't an option when I only get her egg rolls once a year. So I will head there tomorrow after church and begin the infamous new year resolutions in it.

I just love the effortless look of pairing these boots with leggings and a crop tee. I have been wanting over-the-knee boots for awhile and was so excited to find these ones by MIA when I went shopping with my friend, Megg last Sunday. I just love the hardware on them and how they remind me of pirate boots! Plus for the deal I got on them, it would be ridiculous for me not to buy them!

May many blessings come in 2011!

What an awesome Monday night spent with my sis! We played dress-up in my closet, baked healthy treats, drank champagne,and watched the movie "The Kids are All Right." Lots of laughs and the random mix of music kept us going despite our tiredness of the long day. Ah so blessed to have my best friend as my sister!

It's been awhile since we'd had a night to hang out and be creative. And between our two different styles, we got so many more ideas of reinventing our shared closet with what we each pick out. I went for a more vintage and Keely put together a Russian rock star look. In the end, we were quite a scene at the grocery store.But then again Reno just doesn't quite get fashion!

Only a few days til Christmas! Crazy! Hope everyone is enjoying their holidays and all that comes with it!

The mood of the crisp overcasted morning and my new my finds from f21 made it easier to get up earlier than usual today. That and my peach ginger black tea...my new favorite tea now.
Lately, I have been experimenting with changing up my style a little bit more...hence the beanie. It is funny how as much as I think I look silly in hats, I always buy them. And now with the cold change in the weather, it is more of an excuse to! I also found these super warm gray wool socks in my Dad's drawer( ya don't think he'll get them back). I can't wait to try them with my new Guess boots I bought the other day! I will have to feature them in an upcoming post!

I got out of my visual communications class up at the university and decided it was worth documenting the moment. Nothing new as far as clothing, but was excited to finally pull out my burgundy leather jacket and black tights.

Next on my list: Vintage faux fur coat!

It's been some lovely past few days...spending time with amazing people,being creative, letting go, dancing, feeling alive, working hard, relaxing, smiling and laughing and just experiencing unexpected little surprises. I am truly blessed!

May the week continue...
