She walks through life with a song in her head..

During my concise seventeen years of existence, I've established my own position and perspective; "There is no need to lead a boring, un-fabulous life." The world is interesting; as is life and both are meant to be explored.

So why not?

Why not ask yourself questions, materialistic, deep, or simply just for fun? Everyone deserves lavish opulence! Do keep in mind all are for the sole purposes of enjoyment, and imagination. But why not actually do them (if tangible, of course...?)

Why

don’t

you....

♥ Whip out that credit card, and buy yourself a Valentino gown, without a thought of buyer’s remorse? Put it on a mannequin, display it oh-so-beautifully as if it was in its boutique window in your room. Admire it, love it, and wear it at some gala or to an evening party!

♥ Throw those flannel pajamas, oversized tees and soffees away and parade about your home in thigh high socks, a little teddy, and a lovely kimono? Feel fabulous - be a temptress for the day!

♥ Wear dramatic makeup during the day instead of the night? - be different, be bold! Pretend you're makeup artist Pat McGrath and allow yourself to go overboard with winged eyeliner or wild colors? Wear sequins, do anything and everything!

♥ Carpe Diem? Grab a wingman -party and dance the night away! Kiss a cute boy, flirt with the hot Starbucks guy behind the counter, sample some foods you’ve never tasted or thought you’d like, wear a bright turquoise eyeshadow (a la Gucci Spring 2009), smile coquettishly revealing those pearly whites framed by bright pink-glossed lips & talk to someone new. The day is yours, so seize it!

♥ Prepare a set of hors d’oeuvres in pretty platters and set them on your coffee table? Snuggle in a cashmere blanket and watch Nip/Tuck for an entire evening.

♥ Take a day trip to a part of your state/country/city you haven’t been to yet?

♥ Sit outside on your deck, or a nearby park with your favorite book. Lounge in a pretty maxi dress, a straw hat, oversized sunglasses, and a string of pearls. Pretend you’re Audrey Hepburn for the day and read Pride and Prejudice. Sip a bit of homemade iced tea with a lemon.

♥ Go thrifting day - treat it like a treasure hunt for the more precious, unique finds?

♥ Read a book in a foreign language? (I really want to read something in French…)

♥ Write a letter to your style icon? Or even better, try writing to an editor of a magazine & see if they’ll reply?

♥ Completely reorganize your closet? By color, season, brand, whatever you choose. Style your closet so it looks approachable & like a boutique!

♥ Be obliviously glamorous for a day, even if you’re just doing a little errand here & there? Bring on the mysterious black sunglasses, the cocktail rings, the red lips, the heels, the “it” bag.

♥ Treat yourself to dinner in that fancy restaurant; order appetizers, invite friends, & dress up for it?

♥ Write an intriguing magazine article about yourself - as if you were living your ideal life - and keep it for inspiration?

♥ Redecorate your room? Go to the nearest home improvements store, buy a bucket of paint, and give your room a face lift. A new color can brighten your mood and change things up a bit.

Rose of Romance

I’m not a huge fan of MAC cosmetics but their latest floral embossed product has become one of my favorites! In reality this 'blush look alike' is in fact a beauty powder. It retails for $22, but because it's limited edition (and rose-imprinted) I couldn't resist!

The woman in the ad is strong, classy and confident.. Striding purposefully across the street in simpering heels.

Via Spiga -my favorite heels as of late pictured right :)

With Love, !
