More Kate Spade goodies

I was instantly smitten when I saw this post by goldenmeans this morning, and I couldn't help but post about the exact same things!

This bangle would be perfect for Valentine's Day, right? Or any other red-letter day. It also comes in ring form, but I can never order rings online as my fingers are too small, so this bangle will have to do.

And this clutch made me gasp out loud. It's too adorable, and even has red lining inside!  Oh, Kate Spade, you always have so many things I want need!

Chanel Dragon

This photo from Into The Gloss, one of my latest favorite blogs, inspired me to paint my fingernails red! It's been a while since I've had red on my nails since I usually like to keep my fingernails bare or very neutral, but this photo, coupled with all the snow we've been getting lately, made me want to have a bright color on. What do you think?

Baby, It's Cold Outside

That's DH in our shoveled driveway (yes, trust me, that was shoveled a few hours before the photo was taken, on DH's way to work), back early from work, when office hours were finally cancelled.  Compared to the last time snow was forecast for our area, this was a real doozy!  He's actually pointing to how much snow has accumulated over by our neighbor's location.  See?

It stopped snowing a few days ago, but it's still so cold outside that the snow hasn't melted yet.

Rebecca Minkoff Pink MAC

I haven't done a bag post in a while, so I thought I should share my latest score.  Given that Pantone's color of the year for 2011 is honeysuckle pink, I thought this was appropriate.  I love Rebecca Minkoff's MAC Clutches because they're light yet still roomy enough for my essentials.  This pretty pink color pops against all the grays and blacks of winter and is so cheerful it makes me smile just looking at it.  The best part?  Getting this bag from the Rebecca Minkoff online Holiday Sale at an amazing price!  (The color is more accurate in the second photo.)

Kate Spade 2011 Planner Giveaway

I bought this planner for myself, but my lovely brother gave me the Starbucks planner as a Christmas gift, so I thought I should give this Kate Spade 2011 planner to someone who can use and enjoy it, too.

Anthropologie Soft-Structured Dress

I'm in love with the above dress from Anthropologie.  I saw it in store last week and the jersey material makes it look so wearable.    I'm actually very tempted to try it on, but I just know it won't look good on me while I'm pregnant.  I'm also thinking of just buying it in my regular size anyway, so I can wear it after, but that just seems silly.  What to do, what to do...

More Olivia Palermo

Simply had to repost this when I saw it on La Dolce Vita.  This is from the January 2011 issue of Vogue Spain.  I haven't been watching much tv lately, but I can't wait to see her new reality show!

Happy 2011!
