Banana Republic Jacket H&M shirt Forever 21 leggings Alexander Wang Addison Boots That’s my dog Max. I woke him from his slumber to be punished for drinking my coffee. I swear he’s a caffeine junky, he loves it more than me. My little coffee thief. 1 of 6 inks. Alexander Wang Addison Boots I am in love with these edgy Alexander Wang Addison boots. Not only are they fashion forward, but makes everything look great. From jeans to leggings to dresses with tights – they can’t do any wrong. Well…. I take that back, I think my feet would beg to differ. They are super high that they push my…

China Doll
I’ve had these shoes (Jeffrey Campbell Nightwalk) since the summer, but finding the right occasion to wear them is few & far between. I finally had the chance to wear them during Halloween weekend when I dressed up as a rocker China doll. They are tricky to walk on, but not hard and totally COMFORTABLE. Yes, hard to believe, I know. I found one half of this red qipao pant set during a thrifting jaunt in the city. The material & craftsmanship is amazing & so beautiful. Not only is red my favorite color, but in Chinese culture red also means new life, longevity & good luck. Have a great weekend!

Abstraction
I got tired of my usual solid colored leggings (who doesn’t). So for the cold months, I vowed to breathe some life into my gams and go a little geometric & pattern leggings wild. First up, these funky, hypnotic & fashionable leggings. Complete with Geometric color blocking definitely a huge step away from drab. I’m currently a bit obsessed with these leggings, a pony patterned one (which I shall post soon) & a few from Latvian label QooQoo. In case you haven’t noticed, I have been wearing my H&M faux-fur vest a lot lately along with my serpent necklace. They just compliment everything well, what can I say 🙂 Shoes…

Gaga for Vanessa
Gaining an hour back really does make a whole lot of difference. Today, I feel recharged. Finally some decent sleep over the weekend. 1st Monday in a really long time that I am awake, not groggy. How about that. Well I guess, I need to work on getting more of this thing called sleep. So, how was your weekend? Anything exciting? As for moi, Hubby & I ventured into Queens (1 of NYC’s 5 boroughs & #2 behind, Manhattan IMO) for some Italian & Colombian food. One thing we miss the most about living in Queens is the food. The choices will make your head spin, all thanks to Queens diverse group…

Autumn in New York
Autumn officially arrives in New York, when Bryant Park transforms itself for the winter season. That means Citi Pond and the annual Holiday Shops at Bryant Park are now open. One of the perks of working on 42nd Street – Sadia & I get to enjoy our lunch at the Bryant Park, all year round. Yesterday, we ventured to the park to check out the Holiday Shops. Here are a few photos from our visit. More to come (we’re heading there today, too!). I bought this dress from H&M back in the summer, but wasn’t inspired to wear it until now. I’m channeling the 70s with this Grecian long maxi…

The Big Easy
There’s nothing like a cozy super-sized sweater. That’s why I’m so glad that for fall, designers have showered us with textured, languid sweaters that are not only chic, but BIG on proportions too. To you my darlings, I sincerely apologize for not being able to visit everyone’s blog. I am swamped at work and only manage to steal away for a minute or 2. Personal life is even busier. I’m dizzy & nauseaous as I’m writing this since I haven’t had coffee or breakfast. As soon as I walked into work. Well before 9 am, I’ve been bombarded with requests. I hope all of you are having a great week so…
