The Weekend.

This is what I woke up to this morning. 

I'm sooooo over the winter weather. 

Fog. Rain. Cold. Wet.

Photo taken from my deck. Stupid, creepy, eerie, drippy Fog.

So I made one of these to cheer myself up.

Yeah, mine didn't look this good so I grabbed this photo off of calamitykim

And I put on my Camper boxer boots.

This photo makes my feet look HUGE!!!

Then I grabbed the dog. 

Meet Josie. She was in no mood for a photo, so this is vintage (last summer). She'd like you to know she now sports an animal print collar with Swarovski crystals. Much cooler.

Next I grabbed the man. 

And we braved the Stephen King weather for a walk.

He was in no mood for a photo either. So this was taken at work a few months ago. 

The three of us decided nothing fixes the BWB (Bad Weather Blues) like than a houseful of food & laughter.

So we invited some of our peeps over and started setting up.

Think I like red much? I'm one lame photographer. Glare, shadows....oh well, you get the gist.

After the grey claustrophobic foggy morning, I thought wearing sunny yellow would brighten the mood of the day.

And like a miracle—after I got dressed—the sun appeared!

I decided I need to buy another yellow dress this week.

Just in case...

Maggie London Keyhole Chiffon Dress at Nordstrom, $135US

Nicole Miller Cutout Shift Dress at Neiman Marcus, $355US

Happy Talk Sunny Yellow Dress from Shabby Apple, $88US

What do you think about yellow? 

Does yellow have a place in your wardrobe? Or in your weekend?

Once I Was a Cow, but Now I'm a Dress

I have a wild love for beautiful leather. 

Leather + Dress = Perfection

Perhaps its the dreary weather, but I'm certainly on the prowl for the perfect one.

These are my faves.

Moo.

Asos Asymmetrical Leather T-shirt Dress, $85US

The color of this dress is undeniably delicious and the asymmetric bodice in contrasting suede gives an already hip dress an extra funky edge. 

Best part? On sale!

French Connection Laser Cut Leather Shift Dress at Asos, $260US

French Connection always gets it right, and this leather sleeveless shift 

is no exception in creamy winter white with scallop hem 
and striking laser-cut pattern. 

As timeless as any LBD!

One more from Asos! Premium Leather Cutwork Dress in Cobalt Blue, $120US

Are you kidding me with this? It took 3+ close-up looks to believe it is leather!

The delicate all-over cutwork creates a unique pattern and the 
slight A-line silhouette is gorgeous as a dress or a tunic. 

Left the best for last...how about that color?

YSL at Bergdorf Goodmans, $4490US

I'm never-endingly amazed by YSL. This scrumptious eggplant magenta shade,

in a perfectly seamed sheath silhouette with delightful cap sleeves? 

YSL like? Nope. It's love for sure...

Nordstrom for this Michael Kors Leather Shift Dress, $3975US

To be honest, I'm not loving this option. But I cannot stop staring 
at the photo—the mood evoked by those boots alone. Wow.
Stylistic simplicity at its finest.
As for the color of this dress? Bleh.

YSL Square Neck Leather Dress at Nordstrom, $5100US

Last, but certainly NOT least is this fabulous YSL LBD!
Classic and timeless, quality and style with square neckline and cap sleeve. Fashionistas...we may just have our winner!


Which would you choose?

Disclaimer: I certainly joke and have some fun but I do hope I haven't offended any animal activists in the process with this post. I love animals, I save strays, I donate firstly and regularly to animal-saving charities. I try to do my part and draw my line where I'm most comfortable. Hope you understand.

Ode to Orange

Halston Heritage at Net-a-Porter

I love orange. Orange is bright & happy. 

It's fresh & surprisingly neutral. 

I like orange because it refuses to rhyme.

It's the rebel of color.
