PASTELS!!! We endured gloomy and rainy weather this past weekend, so here's hoping that it will warm up just in time for spring. Pastels seem to be the "it" colors of this season and I couldn't agree more. So here's a look at everything that has been inspiring me towards that....

Monday Music Madness

Yeah Yeah Yeah's - "Soft Shock"

M83 - "Midnight City"

Phantogram - "When I'm Small"

2012 Oscar's

I was definitely impressed with most of the looks at this year's Academy Awards, so here are my top 5 picks for the event. What do you think?

 Rooney Mara in Givenchy

 Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton

 Stacey Keibler in Marchesa

 Jessica Chastain in Alexander McQueen

Victoria Beckham in Victoria Beckham

Fashion Frenzy

Since it's Fashion Week, I thought I would share the looks that have been inspiring me lately....

Although there have been many wonderful looks from Alexander McQueen to Marc Jacobs, I have to admit, my favorites were the dresses from the Marchesa line. Their use of exquisite detail and gorgeous colors make the ultimate feminine dress any girl would love!

This spring, I'm all about bright and pastel accessories. As a person who tends to wear lots of classic, neutral colors, a bright bag can add the pop of color without going overboard. The blue folder clutch is mine that I recently purchased from Asos.

Ok, I will admit, I hate wearing skirts. For some reason, I love wearing dresses but when it comes to skirts, they make me feel so uncomfortable. But that will change soon because I've fallen in love with these tiered skirts. They add depth and drama that can be worn both casual and dressy, and they're comfy as well.

I can't describe my obsession with Rooney Mara enough. Besides her amazing acting skills, her style is what really makes her stand out on the red carpet. This dress is a gorgeous wine colored hue with the right amount out edge in the plunging neckline. The nude pumps, along with the berry lips add a great touch to balance out the dress. I'm so excited to see what she will be wearing at the upcoming Oscars!

Grammy's

I must say, there were many wonderful performances and looks last night at the Grammy's, but I think Rihanna killed it with her dress and performance with Coldplay. Gweneth Paltrow was also amazing as always. What do you think?

Monday Music Madness

I cannot explain what a remedy music can be when life gets stressful, especially on a dreary Monday after a great weekend. This coming week will be quite jam packed, but I've got a great playlist to get me through it. Here is a peek, hope you enjoy it!

Birthday Fun!!!

January continues to be an exciting month due to my birthday rolling around on the 22nd (fun fact: me and my sister share the same birthday, although we are 4 years apart). I spent the weekend celebrating with friends and next week will continue with family. Here are just a few pics from the weekend.

Welcome back January

It's great to welcome in the new year. It gives a hope of new beginnings and possibilities. With that said, I'm very excited to start the year with new and healthy recipes. A close friend of mine gave me this cookbook "Power Foods" for Christmas (she knows me all too well) and its filled with some amazingly mouthwatering recipes. I like the fact that it also gives you a lot of information about the ingredients and their health aspects. I look forward to postings some of the recipes soon :)

Wrapping Up 2011

This year was one of the best I've had. It was definitely fast paced, but I grew so much this past year and can't be more excited to experience the new year ahead. With that said, I'd like to share my favorite moments of 2011. I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful new years!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I spent mine with both sides of the family, not to mention me and my boyfriend also celebrated our 6 year anniversary! Despite the crazy week, the holidays were very relaxing and comforting. I ate probably the most amazing cupcake I have every tasted (Mi Piace) and also had a chance to watch The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (amazing movie!). Tonight, I'm attending another holiday party and getting ready for NYE.  Until then, here are some things of current interest to me....

Gifted candles for Christmas

Gorgeous roses from my boyfriend 

My iPad ( so addicting!)
