a couple weeks ago i was lucky enough to be asked to attend this year's RETAIL CAMP put on by Woodbury University as a vip blogger {fancy, fancy!}.  the day was full of very interesting speakers and exciting blog chats - complete with lunch from some of LA's finest food trucks!!

jacket: LF dakota - sweater: james perse - tank: michael stars - jeans: paige - boots: YOU by CROCS {via CROCS, gifted} - necklaces: various

i was introduced to this brand new CROCS line {yes, like the rubber clog crocs...} called YOU by Crocs which are real shoes - and bare NO resemblance to their rubber relative!  i received these grey boots to try out -- and guess what?! they are great!!  i will be the first to admit that i was crazily skeptical until i slid my foot onto the amazing contoured foot bed and after that i actually ended up wearing them for a good 8 hours AND got a million compliments on!!  not too bad for only about $100 - especially if you are employed in a position that requires you to stand in nice looking shoes for long periods of time...check out these chikata boots and many more here!!

and i absolutely cannot forget to mention that MY FAVORITE JACKET EVER is still the DAKOTA from LF...ahh.  so in love!!

NYE 2011

coat: Forever21 - dress: silence & noise (UO) - tank vest: Elizabeth & James - black tights - shoes: Forever21 - socks: LF - nails: OPI for sephora

i have come to regard NYE as a rather peaceful holiday after spending the last 3 years tucked in park city, utah.  even when brad and i went "downtown" - we mostly hung out together talking about the next year and how much we were going to ski the next day...but this year we skipped the bar scene and went to dinner with my family at a friend's house before watching the ball drop in our great room amid baileys and puzzles. i really enjoy the cozyness around the holidays and i think i have finally found the perfect way to ring in the new year with those that i care most about!! {besides the fact that i can completely avoid the inevitable hangover that follows a night of drinking...}

i came up with my new year's outfit on the fly after realizing that the temperature outside was not budging from -10 F. yeaaaaa...shocking to someone born and raised in southern california...haha but i ended up in a cozy dress comfy enough for lounging on the couch and styling 9 year old's hair. {also i found this PERFECT vintage inspired leopard coat from f21 recently and could not wait to wear it!!!}

hope everyone had an amazing night and is ready for a wonderful 2011!!! xx

icicle

tank: free people - leggings: hot chilies - shoes: forever21

jacket: what comes around goes around - tee: splendid - jeans: paige premium denim - shoes: forever 21 - bracelet: my wonderful brother

after spending christmas day on perfectly groomed runs in deer valley, i could think of no better way to close such a wonderful day than with dear friends and good food...however, i was sort of over the cutesy red/green coded clothing so i pulled out my new favorite jacket (tigerrrr, thank you momma!) and dressed it down with a black tee and jeans for a true mountain feast! hope you had an amazing day as well!! xoxo
