I also have a necklace and bracelet that I got this past summer that I still need to show, such beautiful one of a kind pieces!

A new baby :) Canon G12 - now I can bring this camera everywhere with me...the 50D gets a little heavy after a while

Details: 08.22.11

Assorted H&M bracelets/purple and yellow DIY wrap bracelet/Swatch watch/Lauren Conrad for Kohl's polka dot shorts

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

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).

Snow angel looking sculptures in the ground

Swarovski stone necklace

ring from saks off 5th/new oval ring that I bought at a sterling silver booth at school/Olivia 2-finger ring

Old watch from forever21/h&m bracelet

snagged this Dooney & Bourke at a goodwill for $10

Aldo sunglasses

Mini Cooper bike? UH YES

gotta love sparkly socks (American Apparel, Ked Sneakers)

finished panoramas (one of the skyline and one of the park) What do you think? Too generic? (I think so...)

Swatch Colour Code

SO, I'm kind of really obsessed with Swatch's new lady collection. I was shopping the other day and was pulled in by the awesome colors of the Swatch store. First thing I notice, these super long watches in every one of my favorite colors. They wrap around to create these really cute and simple watch/bracelet. Absolutely perfect for spring's emerging color block trend.

What's even better?...They're waterproof and only $50!
Get em' HERE

Now...what color to choose?









And, If you love to layer your jewelry and watches, Swatch's patent leather wrap bracelets are perfect. ...and again, $25 each. Definitely getting a couple of these.
