my favorite shot of ashley


so lovely:)

Forever in Fashion



This was one of the surprises I had mentioned before. I had the honor of being interviewed by one of my favorite Online Fashion Magazines, a blog that is always on top of the trends; Forever in Fashion.

You can view the rest of the photos (and read) the full length interview here.



As for my Holiday weekend.. Thanksgiving went really well. I did, however, eat a little more than I should have. I could barely move afterward. We had:
  • Turkey
  • Pork, Yuca, Black beans and rice (it's a Cuban thing)
  • Stuffing
  • Salad
  • Rolls
  • Sweet Potato "mash" (by me)
  • And my Pumpkin soup
  • Pumpkin pie for dessert, along with chocolate almonds and cherry pie
  • There were enough leftovers to eat it all again last night, even. Wow!
What I've done over the long weekend so far:
  • Went shopping and found 3 great pairs of shoes; hugely on sale. My favorite? A pair of Nine West ankle booties in black patent leather goodness.
  • Had a picnic in the middle of the Everglades National park.
  • Took a lot of outfit photos, courtesy of the hubby and my brother.
Hoping your Holiday was a lovely one! And again, thank you Forever in Fashion for the beautiful layout and inclusion of my interview on your page.

Update!



I will be posting something new later today, sorry, it's just that things have been so hectic with the Holidays, family parties and such. I promise to update really soon, by tonight, most definitely! ♥

“Bad girls always wear red nail polish; on their toes.”













I thought I'd make this particular post a little bit about the things I most enjoy. Gilmore girls for one, where the idea for the title of this post came from. Getting to know Erika (Fashion Chalet) a little bit better, means spending time with me at the bookstore; sipping a latte while pouring over a myriad of Fashion magazines. Scouring Vintage boutiques for the perfect, already worn in, leather boots and bags. An afternoon lunch at Sweet Tomatoes; salad and soup anyone? How about a walk in the park with a great book to read under a large shady tree? Oversized sunglasses in tow, of course. Target, Nordstrom and Barnes & Noble are other frequented haunts. Classical music soothes me. The Olsens inspire me. Audrey Hepburn is who I aspire to be. Rodarte, Balmain and Louboutin are what I crave most. Chanel is my makeup. America is my homeland. Fashion is my passion. Shoes are my compulsion. Juicy Couture is my guilty pleasure. American Apparel makes my heart beat. Marc Jacobs used to make my heart soar. Forever 21 leads me to great dresses and off beat jewelry. John Galliano, a genius in my eyes. The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein still makes me cry. Fringe is my favorite accessory on everything. I 'd love to walk in Carine Roitfeld's shoes for a day. Jak and Jil make me crave my addiction that much more. And, I anxiously anticipate the release of Where The Wild Things Are movie, slated for October 2009.

Dress: Vintage. Cardigan: Marc Jacobs. Tights: Target. Ankle Fringed Booties: Bakers.
