Sequins + Sparkle

 I can't seem to get enough of the glittering shimmer of sequins.  No longer is it reserved for figure skaters, Vegas showgirls and New Years Eve. I say rock it whenever you can.  You don't need to be full out glam, even just a touch can make a statement and is sure to make you feel fab.

J. Crew currently has a bunch of twinkling pieces I would love to add to my wardrobe - I just had to share these additional pretties.

Biker Chic

Almost two years ago, one of my outfit crushes was this look worn by Anne Hathaway. Even now, the leather jacket + party dress is still in.

I thought I would revisit this trend and find copy cat looks on the cheap.  Super easy to replicate and can be as tough, sexy or sweet as you like, depending on how you accessorize.  All outfits below are from forever 21 and are under $80.

Rainbow Sherbet

It's been pretty warm in LA lately and while other peeps are still bundled up for winter weather, I've been able to bring out some of my spring attire.  In anticipation of the changing temps and season, I've been drawn to lighter and brighter colors. Today I am feeling sweet oranges, pinks, yellows and greens. Alas, I have to keep reminding myself it's only January.

Dear Diary {not quite}

Last month I received a great birthday gift from my roomie - Keel's Simple Diary (in green).  It's such an easy way to record the day's miscellanies without actually journaling.  The questions are simple and often quite random, but they're thought provoking. For me, it's nice to have a guide to document the happenings in my life, when often I can't think of where to begin or may not have much to say. Below are some sample pages.

Girl Crush

I've decided my newest celeb girl crush is Emma Stone.  She seems like a cool, down to earth, funny gal (loved Easy A). At first I wasn't sure how I felt about her recently turned platinum 'do, but after seeing her at the Critics' Choice and Golden Globe Awards, I love it!  She was absolutely stunning at both and looked young and fresh.  Hair, makeup, dresses - bravo to all!
