What?!?! Really?!?! You can order a dress, have it delivered and then return it after you’ve worn it?!?!

I have countless dresses in my closet that I have only worn for one occasion, this is a girl’s dream come true!!

I have been embracing the statement necklace all season long, and I am happy to see that this trend is continuing for Spring of next year. From layered looks to chunky hardware, these necklaces were all over the Spring 2010 runways…

I loved this shot from the November issue of Parisian Vogue.

 Paris Vogue NOV913

I love the Isabel Marant boots the most! I saw an imitation pair at Lord & Taylor over the weekend that only cost $275, a fraction of the cost of Isabel Marant!

Maje  is one of my all time favorite shops in Paris!

I have been chatting a lot lately with a friend of mine who recently moved back to her home town and this makes me think of her in Paris…

I am a huge fan of a vintage fur in winter, but this year I am thinking that I should buy nice wool/cashmere winter coat that can last me for about 10 years.
