Au Revoir, Mes Amies!

Sorry, sorry, sorry that I haven't posted part II of the Vintage Treasures series! I suppose I'm building suspense... haha.
But the real reason that I haven't been able to put up pictures is that I've been so busy preparing for my trip to Paris! I'm leaving tomorrow and I've been SO excited. I can't wait to visit adorable shops like Agnes B., APC, or... Chanel. Of course, shopping in Paris is rather unreasonable, especially compared to prices in America, but I do hope to come back with a few nice pieces to remember the trip by! It will be my second trip to Paris and I'll be sure (I promise) that I'll post pictures and tell you all about it when I return on Sunday!

Of course, I can't speak French at ALL but I hope to have a great trip anyway (perhaps I can get a cute French tutor to help me... haha).

I really must go, but rest assured that I will tell you all about the trip when I get back! Hope you all have a lovely time wherever you are!

Exciting New Developments!

Hey, everyone!
I am just TOO excited, so I decided to write a quick post.

Here's what I'm excited about:
1. new Wolford knee-high tights (they work over-the-knee, too, which is just too cool) in a black Honeycomb
2. new tiny metallic pink kooba purse with a long, long chain that makes me want to go out and party (long chain purse = party?)
3. new dresses - I have 3 new dresses that I've never even worn
4. the first edition copy of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (the novel) that I bought on Tuesday and was printed in 1925
5. the dream that I had last night. Can't remember what happened but there was a waterfall, a pool, a hotel, and a really really high terrace in some jungle. I'm pretty sure a group of people and I were spying on somebody, too.
6. Kim Yuna's outfits (watch the Olympics, anyone?)! That girl is the bomb, and her one-shouldered LBD for her short program went perfectly with how awesome she is.


Vintage Treasures Part II is coming up soon, so stay tuned for that! And thank you to all my new readers - and my old ones! I love and cherish you ALL.

Vintage Treasures: Part I

Hello, darlings!

Yes, it is finally time. I promised you a vintage post a long, long ago. But this is going to be a two-part series because I went out and bought more.

I picked up a super-fun sequined vest (pictured below) in a darling cream color. It's such an easy way to spruce up a simple outfit.

Worn with a Juicy Couture top and True Religion jeans, with a belt from Intermix

And I had to have this colorful '70s suede patchwork mini! I love how bohemian-chic it is, and so versatile, too. Here I styled it as "classic sophistication with a touch of youthful spontaneity" [insert haughty look here].

Worn with a Juicy Couture velvet blazer, Cosabella lace-edged camisole, maroon tights, and Cole Haan wedge boots

I'll be back soon with more of my finds (we're talking '90s velvet dresses and statement jewelry)! Thank you all for being so wonderful, by the way!

Grey Matter in the Kitchen?

Hello, darling readers. It's been a while since I've posted, I know. But there's more to come soon, soon, soon! And I've picked up more vintage pieces that I'm DYING to tell you about, so expect a vintage post soon. Meanwhile, I've picked up a bunch of new things and I've become a tights-aholic.


So about the tights. Where I am right now, the weather's been about 50 degrees Fahrenheit, which is perfect for tights with dresses and skirts, in my opinion. I've been wearing tights more than jeans lately and I'm loving it! I'm wearing tights as I'm posting this...


Anyway, I've picked up a few pairs from Juicy Couture, and they're shimmery! (I know, right?)

Worn with a new Juicy dress

Amazing new ring from Intermix and vintage hammered silver bracelet

P.S.
Yes, that's the kitchen in the background. Thought I'd do something new... and it was dark out.

Reminiscing Sunday Brunches as We Return to Mundane Mornings

One of the loveliest parts of a holiday are sleeping in until ten, and then enjoying a lazy breakfast in bed or a brunch with the family. My family happens to have an annual holiday brunch on a Sunday of the holiday season at the Four Seasons, and, as always, I leapt at the opportunity to dress up.

A gorgeous Nanette Lepore top worn with a Leifsdottir skirt, paired with my favorite gold Kate Spade heels and Juicy Couture clutch

Please be kind and ignore my lovely tanlines, darlings.

There's more to come of the 2009/2010 DSMG Holiday Recap!
Until next time,


xoxo,

Happy New Year!

Hello, hello! The new year is finally here, and it's 2010 now. I'm sure we're all exhausted from parties, presents, and other festivities, and ruefully returning to our daily lives. My winter vacation has either been totally crazy or totally lazy, it's hard to tell. But either way, I have much to tell you, and over the next few days I won't hesitate to do so - I have plenty of new clothes, new outfits, and tons of accessories that Santa was so generous to give me.

Christmas day was fun but uneventful for me, as I was recovering from a nasty stomach virus from the day before. But I managed to document some new gifts and new occurrences to keep you all up to speed.

So on Christmas day I wore an emerald green, cashmere Catherine Malandrino sweater-dress, to match the tree, of course, and with my new Toy Watch (a pristine white, with a shimmering mother-of-pearl face and crystals) and a gold bangle cuff from Francesca's.

And how am I showing you these lovely items, you might ask? With my new Nikon digital camera, compliments of my grandmother (thanks!).

Like I said, over the next few days we can relive the glorious vacation (I hope yours was glorious, anyway) and the exciting things that happened over it, so stay tuned!

Want a peek of what to come? We're talking vintage treasures, summer dresses, shorts, and sandals, high fashion for hotel brunches, and other fabulous outfits!

Winter Break is Near!

But final exams are imminent. Yes, dear readers, next week I have finals, and I'm currently freaking out. So I just wanted to post quickly to say that I will get back to you AFTER finals, and to leave you all with what I personally believe to be the most gorgeous picture (of Blake Lively) ever.

Maybe you didn't know, but I'm head-over-heels in love with Blake Lively. I actually spend my free time trying to look like Serena van der Woodsen ("yeah, let me know how that works out for you").

At the Where the Wild Things Are premiere (hence the semi-themed outfit)
