Happy new year!

To all my dear readers and fellow bloggers, I wish you a happy new year and hope 2010 will be good to all of us. I apologize for being so absent from the blogosphere lately. In between the craze of the holidays and a very full plate at work, I've also been dealing with personal issues. It was a rocky 2009 with many ups and downs, but certainly one of the best parts of the year was watching my blog grow bit by bit, participating in America's Most Stylish Blogger and discovering so many fashion bloggers who are beautiful, talented and brimming with style. That means you! :)

On a less serious note, I recently visited one of my favorite places, Extraordinary Desserts, in my hometown San Diego. They have this lovely gate-like structure in front, a pretty, organic framework that I've always liked, and serve up the most amazing sweet creations. I wore one of my current obsessions - a stretchy, incredibly comfortable ballet neck top by PH8. I love the low scoop back and cream-and-black stripes! It was a little Christmas present I bought for myself while shopping for my sister's gifts... was anyone else guilty of that?

Ruffled blue

Some of the retail store bargains that have come out of this recession have been great for my wallet, though I wish it didn't have to come at the cost of everyone facing financial difficulties. I recently picked up this skintight Kova&T skirt from Kitson at a greatly reduced price, as well as this ruffled See by Chloe top on the sale racks at Saks Fifth. I love the bright azure blue color--it just perks up the whole outfit and brightens my day!

Wonder Woman tee


The Glendale Kitson store has been having some unbelievable sales lately. The other day I snatched up a form-fitting Kova & T high-waisted skirt, and today I bought two Junk Food tees for $10 apiece because I just couldn't resist. Even though I hardly ever wear printed tees--except to the gym or to bed--I thought it would be fun to toss this Wonder Woman baseball tee into my wardrobe and mix things up a little. The slightly faded logo and worn-in material definitely give the tee a vintage feel, and it's super comfortable for those days when I just don't feel like dressing up (which are admittedly rare, but do happen!). I want to pair this tee with a motorcycle jacket, denim, and a broken in hobo bag for an easy weekend look that's lowkey and ready to go in a few minutes.
