L-O-V-E

Valentine's Day picks

Castaway Jewelry

Yummy delicious cupcakes! By far the best in NYC. My fav is the sexy red velvet! Fluffy, moist,and not too sweet. The frosting is also amazing, a light buttercream with sprinkles.

Gourmet chocolate that is fun and delicious! They have a giant chocolate lollipop that says "spank me". Fun to mix and match to create the perfect gift for your sweetie!

Luxurious chocolates. The space is unique and lovely with antique furniture and lighting. The packaging is beautiful and the chocolates resemble small precious jewels! Not only do they carry unique bars and ganaches, the hot chocolate is also rich and amazing with a hint of spice (aztec hot chocolate)

nice stems....

Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony

Jeffrey Campbell Pixie Zip Wedge

Surface to Air

Dolce & Gabbana

Tristan Blair

Burberry

Chloe

Acne

Zara

I am totally in love with WEDGE booties this season! Suede, leather, canvas, whatever they may be, I want them all! Wedge ankle boots are great because they practically go with every outfit (dress,pants, skirt,leggings....) and gives just the right amount of height with an equally high level of comfort. My favorite are the suede Surface to Air and Acne ankle boots for day and the strappy Openinig Ceremony ankle wedge heels for posing ;) However, if you are on a budget, the black suede lace ups from Zara are a great alternative! I got mine on sale for $69! They are having a huge sale this week and there are still some decent pieces left. GO!

Tokyo at home....

The Selby is one of my favorite sites taking a glimpse into the world of interesting people and their creative spaces. A home is our sanctuary and define our ultimate style and a reflection of who we are and what we love and how we live life. The quirky touches in Ellie Rose and Gui's home is sweet and modern. Their kitty is soooo cute!
