  1. Taking Philadelphia by the heart

    January 26, 2012 by Audrey

    The Heart of PhiladelphiaIt’s no secret that I love Philadelphia. I have spent here the most memorable 8 years of my life. What a ride!

    8 years can feel like a lifetime or like a New York minute. But one thing is sure, I never stopped loving Philly and I will carry that city with me everywhere life takes me. Well, actually, literally.

    See, as I mentioned before, my friends are the best. And they got me the best birthday/anniversary present a girl can ask for: jewelry! But not any kind of jewelry… They got me “The heart of Philadelphia“. A little pendant, designed by Steven Lagos, that carries with it four of the most symbolic Philadelphia monuments. And I’m not referring to the LOVE statue here, I’m talking real deal, old school, beautiful architecture: Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Independence Hall, City Hall and the Philadelphia Museum of Art mixed up in a very subtle way in the shape of a heart.

    Add the dog-tag chain to hip it up a little bit and you get yourself the most fashionable, personal and meaningful gift I could have received. Well played A. & D. You’re getting brownie points for this one!

  2. Fitting like a glove

    January 5, 2012 by Audrey

    I don’t care what all the fashion editors are saying. Well, ok, I do… A little… Or else I wouldn’t be reading all those fashion magazines. But I don’t care… too much. Fashion magazines are for inspiration. My goal is to never forget that we do not live in a photo shoot, running around in 5-inch heels all day and having perfect hair flowing in the wind. We do not have $3,000 to spend on a dress or a fantastic necklace – well, I know I don’t. We (unfortunately) live in a strange place called Reality.

    Welcome to my Reality.

    In my Reality, today was (apparently) the coldest day of the year; which sounds promising since we’re only January 4th. If we can put that behind ourselves so early, I’m starting to like this Reality!

    So, my Reality is cold. Frozen fingers cold. And there’s nothing better on a cold, cold, day than a nice pair of gloves. I don’t know you, but if my hands are warm, it feels like my body is picking up degrees by the minute. So, I would like to declare Gloves the accessory of the season!

    I adore those Kenneth Cole gloves that I bought for cheap, a couple years ago, in an outlet. I love their dark burgundy color that complements any of my coats better than a harsh black, and that doesn’t get dirty as quick as a fragile beige. I love their cozy lining. And more than anything, I love that they’re keeping me warm head to fingers – yeah, I still have some work to do on the toes area – even on the coldest day of the year.

    And because Reality cold bites, I thought I deserved to finished the bottle of Prosecco that my friend G. left on New Year’s Eve. Plus it looked very chic on the picture, don’t you think.

    Cheers to more cold days ahead!
