'[Paradise] By Any Other Name Would [Look] as Sweet'

The bf treated me to a relaxing Caribbean cruise for our 5th year anniversary.  All I will say is that coming back from that beauty and warmth to the frigid temps and crowded streets of NY can really put a girl in a foul mood.

So here are some pics I took.  I must admit that I didn't pick up the camera as much for my blog as I should have but I think you guys will get the gist.

Which of the Caribbean Islands have you guys been to and which did you like the best?

'The Winter of Our Discontent'

I've been dying to do a laundry shoot and these vintageish machines are really cool. 

If ever I could be in love with a garment, it would be this skirt! I wore it first here because I just couldn't wait for the winter months to debut it. It's a lovely wool faille that can be worn in any season (which, of course, was my justification for spending close to $300 for it). Ah well.

A few months ago, I got a WHIT sample-sale email, and of course, hanging on the racks was this skirt marked half off. Pissed was I? You bet! I rarely get shafted on price. However, there was the blue version of the skirt (with grey belt - to be blogged shortly), so I slyly purchased it, threw my nose in the air as if I got one over on them and marched out proud as punch!


Do you ladies have a favorite item in your closet that you have in multiple colors?

I hope this to be one of the last posts I do indoors because of the freaking cold, clad in tights and millions of undergarments!  GOODBYE WINTER!  You will not be missed! 

I'm off ladies and gents for some rest and relaxation and for some much needed sun!  Hope to return with something cool to giveaway!

'Beware the Ides of March'

When I first got dressed for these photos, I wanted to emphasize the lipstick, the jacket (excellent find and so warm though it sheds like my cats in Spring) and my awesome new fedora....didn't really work out as well as I thought - the overall look was waaaaaaaaaaaay too plain...

...enter loads of necklaces, rings and studded belt...

Looooove my new orange lip color by Mac!  Spring be damned, ain't no one can wait for you!  So, I debuted it a bit early.
