I'm inspired from the the mix n' match in design and art that exist everywhere, and to mix things up I write to collect some of my ramblin' thoughts and adventures, enjoy..

The "Mary Liz" Dress

Have you ever had a dress style named after you? Let me introduce you to the "Mary Liz" Dress from the Spring 2010 Collection by Leona. You won't catch me wearing many pinks or girly attire in my day to day style, but I am a sucker for prints and a charming, feminine cocktail dress. Over the year, I have collected quite a mix of Leona pieces. Check out her collection at www.leonacollection.com !

(the printed bodice ties in the back, creating an open back)


pink ruffles may not describe my style, but I did purchase this sexy and chic pink Leona blouse. This top can be worn for more than one look sooo why not dig some livin' in Leona?
Cheers!

What Snow?


I woke up to a gloomy, cold morning with an anxious feeling. I gathered all of my ski clothes into a suitcase, made some coffee and tried on some of my new casual key pieces that I wanted to pack. Threw on my American Apparel leggings (that I live in), my knee socks and snow boots; my purple tee with my plaid flannel... grabbed the love of my life! (my Helmut Lang leather jacket) and I was out the door. I just needed to survive walking down the 70 stairs in my apartment building with my suitcase…

UA #6211 Depart: NYC 252pm

Arrive: DENVER 530pm

And to no surprise, it starts snowing harder....f'n A. Finally, I find a cabbie around the corner on his coffee break. I didn’t have to walk much in the nastiness :) Feeling kinda fuzzy, I got extremely confused at the check-in counter (sounds stupid...but I did, maybe it was because I never fly United Airlines ?) BUT I got even more flustered when they told me my flight was CANCELLED. I was so friggin' annoyed. Yeah, it was snowing, but it wasn’t sticking to the ground!!! Shouldn't New York City be prepared for this??? I even checked the flight status before I left. Thank goodness, I got there early enough to get in the front of the line to reschedule and get out of that mess. Unfortunately, I can’t leave until Saturday morning!!! Welp, what can ya do? It is what it is… therefore, I extended my stay until Wednesday haha… I guess it all worked out. All I wanna do is enjoy some landscape, ski and chill in Colorado! lets prayI make it on Saturday...

Here is a picture of the snow outside my window hours after my flight was cancelled. That’s right, what snow??! I'm still bummed. I am also PO'd that I wasted money on a cabbie to and from the airport in one day… so when I got home, I played Mario Kart, ordered Blue 9 Burger and started drinking some wine, hoping to go to bed early…
