Been feeling kind of lazy about dressing up these days unless there is a purpose or event...why is that? Of course one should always dress for themselves, but sometimes I feel a lack of motivation when I'm going about my day-to-day activities such as running errands.

Bling.

Been really into stone jewelry lately; something about its organic and natural look that reminds me of the times I collected stones as a child. The ones created by YSL last season turned out to be a crazy hype, but I wouldn't be able to bring myself to pay the sticker price for those babies. Thankfully, I was able to find my own assortment for bargain prices online!

I apologize for being MIA lately, as our new house has been in need of renovations and decor, along with some other things going on in life, as life happens...on a happier note, I have officially started styling as a side job! I have no idea where this will lead or whether it will expand into a career, but nonetheless, I am enjoying myself and it's a nice feeling when you can help someone gain confidence through dressing them (as superficial as it sounds, it can do wonders).

Bring in the New Year with a cheer.

Wearing: Thrifted Liz Claiborne blazer, BR belt, BR handbag, python-printed shirt from Target, Promod leggings, thrifted leopard wedges

My apologies for the lack of posts! Things always get chaotic during the Holidays, but in a good way, really. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! We are now approaching a new year. I don't usually keep resolutions, so I don't intend on making any. My yearly goal is always the same: making the next year better than the last, though that doesn't always happen. However, I am really excited to see what 2010 will bring! I am definitely thankful for all the memories, friendships and experiences I have been given during 2009.

Below are photos scattered from different locations during the month of December: Seattle, SF, San Luis Obispo, and Disneyland...
