The Girl From Queens

In all honesty....[a confession]

7.12.2009

Hello all!

I am sorry for the lack of posts, updates etc in the last few weeks. I was just in a blogging funk. I just felt so unenthusiastic about it and just lost my love for it, because I felt like the blog was a bit of well a blob.

But the past few weeks have made me see how much I truly do love blogging and how much I do love my blog. So get ready for a revamped site over the next few weeks. New Layout, material, a more concise flow and then some.... Are you ready?

Anna Sui for Target

The lookbook has leaked, and my absolute must-have-I-need-this-now-item is:

Outfit of the Day: 6.17.09 Jury Duty continues

6.17.2009

[Cardi]: Gap Outlet, [Tee and Pants]: Old Navy, [Shoes]:Marc Fisher wedges. (my feet were dying hence the barefoot shot)

I realize that if I keep an item in my closet long enough, I will find the time to wear it. I bought these navy pants back in December of 08 and have never worn them until today.

On another non fashion related note, jury duty is making me think of a career change. I think I would make a fantastic lawyer. Honestly, I can argue alot. I think that could work in my favor and give me an edge, no? :)

Get Ready! Jimmy Choo for H&M

You read correctly. WWD and The Cut are reporting that H&M will be paring up with Jimmy Choo (yes THE Jimmy Choo) come this November to design shoes, handbags, accessories and a clothing line for men AND women!!

Should I grab my tent and sleeping bag and sit outside H&M now?

Im a creeper

So guess who has the lucky task of Jury Duty!!!?!?!?!?! I had to let my inner Sartorialist out and snap a pic of this outfit. If you click to enlarge the image, you can see the detailing around the neckline, and the belt. So chic! I immediately obsessed over this lawyers outfit because it was such a breath of fresh air from the sea of pants suits and skirt suits that I have been seeing all day, everyday in the last few days. I love when people take risks with their style!

Outfit of the Day: The Sun is on Strike in NY

6.14.2009

[Trench]: Old Navy, [Leggings, Shoes and black Tunic (not shown)]: Nordies, [Watch]: D&G

I haven't seen sunlight since 2 weeks ago...when I was in Europe. *runs to book tickets with Alitalia*. But seriously where is the sun? I am over the torrential rains/clouds/thunderstorms.

Dear Rachel Zoe,

6.13.2009

You are an enabler!

Since renovations were being done in my house, I spent the majority of the day in my room cleaning up and watching the Rachel Zoe Project (thank you Itunes.) Well more watching (even though Ive seen this episodes so many times) got done than cleaning. Here are a few items on my wishlist, in the style of Rachel Zoe:

Faux fur jacket from Asos

Swarvoski ring

I almost bought this in Italy, but I couldn't justify buying Swarvoski in Europe, when there is one 10 minutes from where I work. I still want it.

YSL Tribute pumps

And they are currently on sale. My cc really cant handle another purchase. Or can it?

William Rast silk tank

Retail Therapy: MBMJ Airliner clutch

6.12.2009

I have no idea how I ended up on the Barneys website last Sunday morning, but some how I did, and ended up browsing the Marc by Marc Jacobs section. I had been eyeing the Magazine clutch and was excited to see that it was on sale! But lo and behold, next to it, so was the Airliner clutch.

The Airliner.

The clutch I lusted after last summer when Lauren Conrad and other celebrities were spotted around town with it. The same clutch that sold out before summer even ended. The same clutch I almost bought on Ebay, but decided against because I skeeved at the idea of owning someone elses stuff..

That beautiful Airliner is now mine!!!

Barneys shipping was so fast too! Ordered Sunday, shipped Monday, received on Tuesday. Oh and shipping was FREE!
