Wondercon

I went to my first ever Wondercon and I had a blast with the B.F.

*If you have never heard of a Wondercon then I suggest clicking here to find out*

Thankfully, he prepped me before hand (there was A LOT of walking) and told me to be "comfortable"...well, that meant bringing out my Converse and my go to jeans. For good measure I threw on a scarf which worked out in my favor since it was windy and rainy that day.

Though from the looks of the other folks that attended I was well under dressed!! :P Guess I'll have to wear my costume next year.

XOXO

All I have to say is that these Sam Edelman smoking flats rock! Super comfy, they're garnished with spikes & crystals, and the color is this perfect taupe grey.

Spring Runway:Dolce & Gabbana

Veggies anyone??

If kitchy fun prints are your thing then Dolce & Gabbana's Spring 2012 Runway pieces have your name written all over it. I definitely gave them a try...sadly on my 5ft. framed body the prints were very overpowering. No bueno. I guess I'll just be sticking to eating my veggies not wearing them, but they sure are pretty to look at.

XOXO

Cookies:Oreo Chocolate Chip

I was browsing around the web several days ago and stumbled upon this great recipe for Chocolate Chip Oreo Cookies..YUM!

I had to try it myself.

This was the outcome..not too shabby :) 

XOXO

For the recipe go to Picky Palate

Alexander Wang:Britt

I know think I'm infatuated with Alexander Wang. From his handbag collection to his shoes..I simply LOVE it all. Surprisingly these bad boys I have on are more comfortabe than they appear to be.

And I'm completely embracing one of the biggest trends of the season

"Fancy Pants"

XOXO

Outfit:Top/Zara, Leggings/H&M, Shoes/Alexander Wang"Britt"

On my wish list:

Neiman Marcus: Alexander Wang "Bianca"

Net-A-Porter: Alexander Wang "Rafael"

Red Accents

Red=Bold..at least to me it does. I definately like the color, but when it comes to me wearing a top/bottom in it I tend to shy away.

So, when I received word of the next "Bloggers Do It Better" challenge I thought why not just showcase accents of Red instead of a whole ensemble. It still has that touch of boldness, but it's within my comfort zone....And the best part? I was able to wear my new Jason Wu for Target "Milu" kitty scarf :).

I'm always up for a good fashion challenge; it makes me think outside of the box. Maybe the next time around I'll wear a bright red pant or sweater.

Oh and yes those are indeed braces..I try not to smile with them showing, but my loving B.F loves for me NOT to look so serious, so I added that last pic. especially for him <3.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Winston

 `

I always get excited whenever I stumble upon something that is unique and it's an accessory.Winston is my beloved ring that I found while shopping around San Francisco one day and the best part of all is that he is an elephant.

If you have a love for animal themed jewelry then check out Moss Mills, KJL, or even Ebay for some quirky yet chic pieces.

XOXO

The "Rocco"

I absolutlely love this handbag, BUT (yes, there's a but) it's just so darn heavy. No need to use free weights for exercise when you are hauling around Rhodium plated hardware..nothing like a little bit of a sacrifice.

However, it's such a beauty with it's durable pebbled leather and I couldn't resist this Midnight Blue version.

Accessories Kinda Gal

Via:Instagram

When it comes to accessories I have no control. I always seem to NEED it. I've been this way since I was a kid. The more the merrier I say! Whether it be a simple necklace piece or some glitzy tights..I love it all.

BTW pic#2 is more stunning in person! I'm completely lusting over it.

The Rose Bowl

If you're someone who likes to scope out a deal and treasure hunt then The Rose Bowl in Pasadena is the place to be.

I kept hearing about this place, especially amongst other bloggers, so I knew I had to make this a destination spot. 

The B.F and I finally had the chance to go this last Sunday....and boy was there a lot to see!!Thankfully, I had done my homework and read some reviews before trekking it out to this place. I highly suggest you do the same if you haven't been here before. Keep note that it's only the 2nd Sunday of every month and there's a fee to get in for each person. Oh..and bring CASH!!

 Hand-Crafted Light Installations (A=Ann..love it)

All in all we had a fun time here and I'd definitely would want to come back.

Daytime Sequins

So who says you can't wear sequins for daytime casual wear?!..certainly not me. I'm all for it. I've worn this little number for work with flat ankle boots and a black cardigan. I've even thrown on my trusty Converse Chucks and roamed around the flea market.

Next time you walk by a sequined piece don't dismiss it right away;consider the endless possibilities it may have.
