Oriental, express

I really love Gilt (http://www.gilt.com/)! A few weeks ago, there was a sale for Amrita Singh jewelry -  she makes some absolutely  incredible stuff which I always wanted to try but everywhere else it was just too expensive - and I ordered this necklace. Despite the fact that the estimated delivery for it was for the beginning of September, they shipped it almost right away and it turned out to be just awesome, much longer than I thought, much brighter and just so oriental!

Vintage-like

This outfit consists of stuff that can in all honesty be considered vintage. Well, maybe almost vintage, but give it a few more years... Well, let's not look that far into the future. Where was I? Ah, the almost vintage, right. This dress was bought about five (gee..) years ago, and so were the sandals. And so were the purse and the scarf. I'm really surprised none of it was lost during our numerous moves around two different states.

Hectic, hectic, hectic

The past few weeks have been really hectic. Frankly, so far, little has changed in that department:: projects that have enjoyed a rather unclear status for months in a row, all over sudden became very real and - the best part - each with a brand-new deadline. Oh, and have I mentioned that we are in the middle of apartment renovations? Aaaaaah!!!!!!
Anyhoo, we have been taken pictures diligently, and today, I even managed to give myself a kick and sort all of them out.
Here, I'm wearing a new hat by Leila Rowe and a new silk tunic by Adele Fado (with the combined value of $31); the rest of the outfit proved to be very versatile and have been used quite often recently.

Bloomberg building. The shape is really out-of-this-world and I remember getting dizzy the first few times I passed by. For whatever reason, you can't take pictures from within the inner plaza but cant shoot away from the street.

On second thought...

This is another dress from ideeli (www.ideeli.com) which I bought after a month's deliberation. Luckily, they have recurrent sales for certain brands, and when I saw this dress again, I decided to give it a try. I had my doubts about the waistline because I'm more used to either a belt or just an A-line but as it seems, here a rushed waist is more appropriate.
The necklace is by BCBG MaxAzria (www.bcbg.com), a site that I stumbled upon purely by chance but happen to like it a lot.

V for Viggo

This is a new member of our family. His name is Viggo, he is 3.5 months, and he is sooo cute! I sort of expected to see a chubby little bearlette but when the the cab pulled over, we opened the carrier and out there stepped this skinny creature with legs that would make Gisele Bundchen envious, small tail and no midsection! A 3 month old pup is kind of supposed to have a midsection, it's almost a rule! However, instead, Viggo can boast a thin waistline. And a voracious appetite!
As of now, his favourite activities include: demanding food, demanding everyone's attention (yes, he just stops in the street when he sees people and waits till they start showing their admiration for him), chasing the coati around (she doesn't mind at all but tries to play by her own rules) and cheweing on everything remotely chewable. And oh yes, I nearly forgot: just like the coati and myself, he is very much into shoes, that's why our renovations and especially building a new closet should now go really fast!

Viggo and my favourite sandals by Will's Fancy. Turns out, Viggo fancies them, too so now I have to make sure they are put somewhere he can't reach.
