Cobalt blue and denim

Do you know it was 71 degrees in NYC today?  Do you realize that it’s March?!? Yes March! I don’t ever remember the weather being this warm in March in NYC, and I am a native New Yorker! Spring was in the air today, and it was gorgeous! I took advantage of this amazing weather to break out my sandals, light chambray shirt, and my cobalt blue Celine luggage tote for the first time. Sigh…..the color is spectacular isn’t it?? As you get to know me, and continue reading my posts, (I hope!), you will see that I always mix high end items, with totally low end affordable ones. I think it’s important to have “investment pieces” that you will have for years, and that you can mix with low priced, affordable items to elevate your look. This Celine luggage tote is just that for me. I think it’s an incredible bag. It fits a ton of stuff, even file folders, and it never looses it shape or gets too heavy.  The design is chic and timeless.  I believe this is the next great classic bag to own. I also have it in black. You can see my posts with it here and  here.

I hope you all enjoyed the weather today, whether you are in NYC or around the world! xo- Julie

Hope your New Year is BRIGHT!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!  My first post of the New Year! I am so excited!  Thanks to everyone who has been following my infant blog so far! I promise there will be more exciting posts, givaways, and tons to look forward to in 2012!! 😉

For New Years Eve day yesterday, I decided I wanted my outfit to reflect my spirit and outlook for 2012….which is BRIGHT.  I decided to wear this gorgeous Old Navy wool coat that I purchased last year, and never had the chance to wear!   I absolutely LOVE this shade of pink.  It’s such a great pop of color in the cold, dreary winters of NYC! Even wearing it made me happy!  And, for a bonus, it was super affordable, as are all Old Navy coats, at just $99.99.  Chic, elegant, and fun for under $100 bucks!

My best friend Debbie snapped these photos for me in her neighborhood of Forest Hills, New York.  (It’s in Queens for you out of towners LOL) We were out shopping, and buying food for her New Years Party that night.  I hope you all had a fabulous, fun, amazing, and special New Years! All the best for 2012! xoxoxo
