So here we are, the first couple of days of 2012! Couldn't be more excited, to be honest.

Decided to soak in these first few days of the new year (hence the late post)

to enjoy the beauty of knowing we all start fresh with new resolutions, goals and

journeys- no looking back and dwelling on 'what could have been..' type things.

Just enjoy the present and look forward to the future.

Anyway, I have a busy week ahead of me while also looking forward to my birthday in 5 days!

I have a super fun shoot for you guys in regards to my bday!

Happy Wednesday!

triangle pendant necklace from Albeit

So with the new year just being a few days old, why not celebrate with new jewelry?

Was so excited when I got this adorable package from Albeit yesterday with this bad ass triangle pendant necklace- I had been eyeing for awhile! It is seriously the coolest thing ever.

So dainty and it sits right between my two clavicle bones. I love that from a far the only thing you see

is the small, triangle pendant! Major swoon!

Lucky me!

Will probably wear this little thing everyday- just a a fair warning!

I will take better shots with it in a outfit post, just had to share!

It's my biiiiiirthday today!

So excited to be a year older,

so in honor of my birthday, I had to do a birthday shoot...i mean, duh..only made sense right?

It ended up being a super quick and unplanned (so bummed out about that) shoot with what i wore/makeup/hair/location/props. I was going to do a super fun, almost editorial looking shoot

but my hectic schedule this week interfered so I wasn't able to shoot.

Anyway, still had fun playing around with confetti and confetti guns (hence the last photo!)

Oh and how pretty are my metallic #DIY numbered pinatas? LOVE them!

My sister was very sweet to make them for me ( Thank you sis!!); they served as my

chandelier piece for my birthday party that we had over the weekend!

Photos to come!

I'm off to celebrate my birthday now...Disneyland, here I come.

A few of my fave detail shots from my birthday party!

1. The tassel garland was a total DIY by my sister and I- despite being so time consuming and elaborate, it turned out so pretty!

The keep calm signage was a total complement to the garland!

2. These adorable photo props were made by my sister and bf! They're so crafty!

3. My older sister put together this beautiful floral arrangement (plus a few others) as decor for the pastry/food table!

4. We had my fave!- Macaroons from none other than Bottega Louie.

5. Closer shot of the tassel garland that I'm excited to hang in my room now.

A huge, special thank you to my sister and brother-in-law for hosting such a pretty party for me and for their hard work and time, as well as my older sister and her husband for being a big help in contributing with the food/decorations and their time and last but not least, my lovely bf, for helping in anything that we needed and making the cute photo props! Thank you guys, meant the world! Love you all to pieces.

Dress: Cut25 c/o Bib + Tuck | Jacket: c/o Volcom | Heels: Calvin Klein | Bag: Alexander Wang |

Currently experiencing a warm winter here in the city of angels, and although I don't mind running around in bare legs, shorts, flats, dresses and sunglasses- jealous?- it does get a little nippy in the late afternoon forcing me to throw on a light weight scarf/jacket while also adding a pop of color!

Anyway, in cooler news... I'm pretty thrilled to be involved in Bib + Tuck's Forward Fashion Project where 10 bloggers will style, blog then swap 10 pieces from 10 different designers over the course of 10 weeks... whew! That was a lot of 10's!

To kick off the project, my first item I received was this amazing body-con Cut25 dress!

Stay tuned next week for my 2nd item and how I style it- I have no idea what's coming

next so I'm super excited!

This past weekend was filled with lots of fun to-do's and since I had to run around a lot, it was only logical to dress comfortably. Threw on my trusty flats and finished off the day without any pain- always a plus.

( the final ad in Los Angeles magazine- love the cute layout!)

So excited to share this shoot!

Back in December, I had the absolute pleasure of working with one of my most favorite places- the Americana at Brand (which is a complete one-stop shop/dine/entertainment outdoor

shopping mall in Glendale, CA) The ad campaign which comes out every month features one of their favorite local tastemakers where they spend a whole day at the Americana shopping and eating at their favorite places while sharing what they love most about the Americana! I was lucky- and flattered, to be chosen to be a part of this super fun campaign for the month of January. We visited and shopped at some of my fave stores like Barney's CO OP, Free People, Madewell, Sephora, H&M and ate a delicious italian sandwhich at Deluca's while being photographed.

I had such an amazing time spending the whole day at the Americana and getting to know such inspirational team of women behind this project.

The shoot was shot by the super talented and sweet Jennifer Young whose cute blog you can find here.

Definitely planning on working with Jen again since I LOVED her work- hii Jen!

Thank you to the Americana for making me a part of this campaign...and a special thank you to

the lovely Haewan Addis for putting it together, Jennifer for shooting such amazing shots and the genius Cleo Murane for being the creative force behind it and everyone else involved.

Hope you guys enjoy!

4. When I'm feeling extra fancy, I throw on my falsies (Ardell in 110) + YSL polish & lipgloss.

5. My prettier necklaces displayed on these foil coated antlers I picked up at Urban Oufitters + my gorgeous gold chunky necklace from my sis!

6. My armswag + my collaboration Knot ring with Miss Artigas + gel nails!

Finally received my second item for the Forward Fashion Project a couple days ago! Was a little skeptical on how I was going to wear it because it seemed too fancy for what I normally wear, but I was totally up for the challenge.... it's what I signed up for anyway.

So as you know, I love dressing things down (must be the Cali in me) so I threw on this cool and versatile sweater I picked up earlier this week. The neutral color of the sweater definitely makes a good contrast against the color & print of the clutch, I'm all about the right balance, ya know?

I also did love that the clutch was big enough to fit my camera and ipad- talk about a handy bag!

Keep checking in to see what's next!

happy thursday!

Picked this faux fur vest at the Long Beach flea market last weekend and so happy I did ( I contemplated quite a lot whether to take it or not). After trying it on a couple of times, putting it on hold and walking around to see if I found something better, I ended up coming back and buying it.

Really happy I did; its so warm, cozy and perfect for the cold weather in nyc next month!

Details on that later!

Hope you guys have a fresh new week,

Finally breaking in these beauties that one of my bff's gave me as a birthday gift!

Love the faded blue tip- swooon.

Update: Many of you asked if these were hard to walk in and the answer is yes-
They're a lil too high and kinda scary to walk in but I think after wearing them
a lot, you'll get used to the heel...or not.
I still laa-ve 'em.
