Stay Warm With The Beanie

It's been torture cold in NYC! This hunching shoulders weather really makes me loose my style, its perfect to just stay in bed all day. When I finally start getting ready to go to work, I just want to grab whatever keeps me warm without giving a damn about style. This is when I realize, more than ever, that maybe I should move to a warmer place. I love the charm of each season but winter and I were not made for each other.

So, I had to go find some beanies to keep me warm, in style, and happy during the cold days of winter.

1 $69.50 :: 2 $12.99 :: 3 $39.50 :: 4  $28 :: 5 $24 :: 6 $79.50

I found lots of cute beanies, even one that I already own (#2 from +Target) and some that I had to leave  out of the 6 selection above like this, and this. in hot pink.

My favorite, besides #2, is #6 because it looks glamorous and fancy!


Here's a selfie wearing #2. Cheers!

Radiant Orchid: The Plant!

Welcome to the first color post of 2014! Last year, I picked a new color each month and featured weekly posts. This year I will be trying something different. Each month I will be using Pantone's color of the year for a monthly Radiant Orchid post...let's see how creative I get in 12 months. ;)

Starting with:

The orchid plant has one of the most beautiful and elegant flowers. It often makes a perfect gift, so when in doubt, gift an orchid. My favorites are the white ones but they are all beautiful. Take a look at my beautiful plant from last year.

The photograph above, by Terence Davis (buy here,) is a perfect example of the Radiant Orchid color of the month with it's purple, fuchsia and pink tones. 

The +Pantone color is described as an expressive, creative and embracing purple—one that draws you in with its beguiling charm. The color transmits joy, love and health. Who wouldn't want to be surrounded by all that?! I definitely would so stay tuned for more Radiant Orchid posts. 

What are your thoughts on Pantone's color of the year?
