Bjørg Heresy 2012

I'm always looking for new and unique jewelry and the Bjørg 2012 Heresy collection definitely fits that criteria. I especially love the spine bracelets, the black hairy collar, and the triple finger claw ring. And that ciagarette holder! I don't smoke and I just think that is absolutely fabulous. The ear cuffs are also pretty interesting and might be something I'll try in the near future. What's pretty cool about this jewelry, besides the amazing designs, is that all the materials are 100 % natural and obtained in accordance to environmental preservation.

Sweet Socks

I almost bought a pack of boring knit socks...and then, I stumbled upon these brightly hued and patterned sheer socks.  Obviously, I chose to buy these instead.  They are great for adding a little spice to your outfit or wearing them in the spring with your favorite summer shoes.

Isabel Toledo for Payless lace-up heel/wedges

I spy: A tattoo (olive on my left foot: olive...Olivia...get it?)

Finally got my wrap Swatch watch :) Why I chose this color is beyond me
I like to pair it with wrapped chains to give it an edgier feel

New Rings- H&M (I obviously have an obsession with rings) Nailpolish- Essie "Mesmerized"

I'll end with a super cute picture of my kitten, Kiki...snoozing away as usual

Coral and Lace

I took my first trip into Williamsburg, Brooklyn and I must say it is a whole different world from Queens.  It's very uhmm hipster artsy (HAHA).  Well anyway, of course I had to go to Beacon's Closet and see what all the fuss is about.  It's a pretty awesome thrift store, you can find a lot of unique things... but you aren't really getting any type of "thrifty" type of bargain.  In any case, I was pretty pleased with what I got after rummaging through what seemed like a million racks.  What do you think?

Victoria's Secret Lace cover-up/American Apparel coral collared shirt/Tan clutch/Alexander Wang inspired sunglasses/Assorted rings

Sculpture Park

In an attempt to take a panoramic photo of the Manhattan skyline, I went to this really awesome sculpture park in Long Island City.  There weren't too many sculptures out because it's so cold, but surprisingly there were a lot of people riding their bikes, playing with their children, and just staring at the intricate skyline.  These photos are from last Sunday, but I've been SO busy with school and work.  IT NEVER ENDS! (until spring break that is)  So here are the shots Josh and I took in our short visit to the lovely little park (that I'll be sure to visit often in the warmer weather).
