FIRST GIVEAWAY get excited!!

So I have this extra Cartier Love Collection inspired bracelet from Etsy, which I had been debating what to do with it. Since it's wayyy too late to return, I thought why not spread some love and do a giveaway on my blog. Plus, it's only been so long since I started this blog so I thought this would be a great opportunity to get to know some people from the blogging community.

If you follow celebrities and/or bloggers you probably know that this bracelet is very very popular amongst celebrities and bloggers alike. The real Cartier bracelet costs $5,000+ so until you are willing to shell out that much money this is your perfect chance to make it part of your arm swag, now!

In order to enter, just follow my blog and post "pick me" in the comment section. (And I'll be sure to follow you back!)
On Sunday, 4/28 I will select the winner at random and contact the member by replying to their comment.

Good luck everyone!

REVOLVE CLOTHING SALE get on it right now!

Revolve Clothing is having a massive sale. Plus use the code TULIP to get an extra 10% - the code never expires!  I snagged a couple of things myself. I'm a big big fan of Butter London nail polish and they happened to be on sale for only $8 so I jumped on that right away.


Butter London Saucy Jack $8


Butter London Yummy Mummy $8


BB Dakota Palm Fron Printed Button Up $49 - I think the front can be tied which is why the buttons stop 2/3 of the way

Besides revolve clothing, if you are a VIB member at Sephora use the code 'CHIC' for 15% off, Juicy is having extra 30% off of sales, and Mikkat Market always has good deals. So check those out if you are in a little spending mood.

Mikkat Market, Caudalie, China Glaze

Studying for part II boards has commenced officially. 'Officially' meaning I am not seeing patients every day like I used to to focus solely on studying for the boards. Studying for me usually means a lot of online shopping because I either have ADD or just have an attention span of a fish. I can never seem to concentrate for more than 15-30mins at a time. Anyway, I've been really good these past couple of months about not spending money besides on food, but I broke the streak. What can ya do. I blame NBDE.

Couple of stuff I picked up online and in real life (I physically visited the store)

1) Mikkat Market (Top: $24, Skirt: $37)

I don't usually do skirts, but I figured I can introduce a bit of change into my wardrobe and step out of my comfort zone by trying skirts instead of shorts this summer.
I've been on the hunt for a A-line leather skirt that won't break the bank, and this beige color was right on the money. I like how it's faux leather so I don't have to feel guilty about animal cruelty and of course, you can't beat the price. The top I chose because it's slightly cropped and I love the round neck and slouchiness of it. Also, I think the simple black shirt could go nicely with the skirt. We'll see.

2) Caudalie Vinosource Hydration Set $48
I picked this up because first, I had the 15% coupon for Sephora and second I've been wanting to try a serum for the longest time. I'm never crazy about my skin care routine, but I ain't getting any younger and I heard serums are basically concentrated goodness for the skin, which can only do good, right? This box from Sephora is great because the bottle on the left is what I was eyeing ($48) but they give you a bunch of other stuff as a set for the same price! I like that Caudalie does not use parabens and other junk and stresses antioxidants in its products so I'm looking forward to trying these.


3) China glaze (Sun Worshipper) $4.95 on Amazon
I was reading reviews for Coco Rocha's April Fancy box and came across this. The pop of color is insaneee I had to have it. Love the bright tangerine color, which is so perfect for upcoming summer!

Black, white.. and Celine

It's officially spring!!!

But snow??? Whaaa. That's New England for you right there

Here is an outfit I would have worn if the weather weren't so cold and snowy. 

I think a wide brim hat can add sophistication and chicness to an otherwise plain outfit. 

Same goes with gold accessories!

Top: Celine 

Pants: H&M 

Shoes: Tods 

Hat: H&M 

Monochrome

As you may or may not know, black and white is very on trend for spring 2013. We usually think bright colors and pastel tones once the warm weather rolls around, but black and white for spring can also be fun by playing with print and mixing different fabrics. Since it can still be cold outside, a sweater can be worn with maybe a short sleeve underneath in case it gets a little too warm throughout the day. 

Sweater: Theory
Shorts: Zara
Shoes: Elizabeth and James

I would love to wear something like this outside, but I tend to get cold very easily so unless it's very hot out I stay away from wearing shorts. So a combo like this - a sweater and shorts could never work for me in real life. At least I get to enjoy it through dress up!

And here it goes.. Denim

I don't follow many bloggers, but the few I do follow inspired me to take pictures of myself playing dress up. I noticed that in order to "blog" one needs a nice camera and a photographer boyfriend at hand. However, I have neither of those so instead I used any old camera I had rolling around my apartment and a self-timer. Also, I am shy and am only interested in sharing my fashion choices so I decided including my face isn't necessary. I don't have much to offer, but I do want to share with the world how I dress and fashion!

Shirt: Gap
Pants: Madewell
Shoes: Lanvin

Denim was my inspiration of the day. Pants are a little crazy, but I was definitely feeling the dotted stripes. Especially since stripes are in this season! The chunky shoes are Lanvin, which I had posted about months back. Wish the weather would soon warm up so I can finally wear these babies outside!
