Weekend Getaway

I am so excited about Elliot and I getting away for the weekend. Most New Yorkers have a country house or beach house that they go away to on the weekends. We are lucky enough to have a place like this to go to.
So, even though we are going to be relaxing I want to have super comfy clothes to wear. Diane Keaton in Annie Hall comes to mind when going on a weekend trip.

She looks so casual and effortlessly cool. Maybe I will hunt for some new trousers this week. I have plenty of vests and button ups and hats.
I am going to read, cook, drink lots of wine and love every minute of this weekend.
I'm sure I will have tons of posts this week as I prepare for our mini vacation!
I've seen lots of these pants around lately and they fit my idea of "weekend cool".

Boutique Shopping

I finally visited one of the local boutiques in our new neighborhood. It's called Dalaga (http://dalaganyc.com/) and it is so charming. The day I went in I wasnt looking for anything inparticular but left with a great new bag. This boutique is owned by a super cool married couple and they are very down to earth people. If any of you ever get a chance to check it out you should. Visit the link I included.
Between learning piano, work, and life in general this blog had taken a backseat these past two weeks. This weekend Elliot and I are going to the country house to relax, record music, drink wine, and just get away from the city for a few days. I will have plenty of time to reflect on fashion week and anything else that comes to mind.

Two New Pieces of Jewelry!

Today I woke up early, made myself some coffee and got to work on a few jewelry projects. I have so many ideas! Today I made two new sets of earrings out of old broken jewelry of mine. There is a third piece that is not completed yet but it's my favorite. I'll have pics of that as soon as it is done.
For now here are the two newest pieces......
Now I am going to go make waffles for breakfast with our new waffle iron.

Beccas Birthday Wish List

I love this Nanette Lepore Rufflet Dress. I found something similar in new boutique beside my apartment last week but my budget wouldn't let me buy it. I am so ready to start wearing spring clothes but here in New York the cold weather is really just beginning. This time of year it starts to snow a lot! Yikes, better put my sunny day dreams aside for now.

New Tools!

I got an early birthday gift recently and I was able to go buy tools to get myself started on making jewelry. Today I made a very simple necklace from the chains I bought and an old charm I found in my jewelry box. It's a simple necklace but it's a start! Also I repaired a vintage find of mine that was broken. It's actually a clock when you open it.
I posted a not so good pic of some of the new tools I got. Wire cutters and different types of pliers.
Hopefully I will be making and repairing lots of jewelry in the future!

First Post

Here goes...
Since being inspired by reading other girls fashion blogs I thought it was time for me to have my own. I work for a shoe company and am always looking for influence and new trends for shoes. Hopefully this blog will help.
I'm so excited to get started!
