Rings and Things...

I know I may be a bit late to the "yes, my rings only sit on the top of my finger" party... 

I finally gave in at Urban Outfitters last week and I'm ok with it.

I still get nervous that they are going to fall off at any second and I double check that they are still on every time I reach into my purse or touch my hair. 

I'm hoping to get over that soon...

Happy First Day of Spring!

I kinda (very slightly kinda) wish I lived in a place with all the seasons.

Unfortunately, I'm an L.A. girl (a valley girl to be precise) - born and raised.

We have two seasons...Summer and Not Summer.

And Summer even likes to make day appearances in Not Summer.

Right now its Not Summer. Not yet 108 daily, but Mr.Sun still comes out most of the time 

and likes to invite his 90 degree weather around for weekends.

The "seasons" in L.A. just mean a change in fashion. 

Spring just means its time to buy the floral print pants I've had my 

eye on for weeks, the wedges, and bright/pastel colors...

Floral Pants - Gap

Polka Dot Dress - Piperlime

Introducing Miss Wu

Nordstrom introduced Jason Wu's new line last week : Miss Wu

Love the line - not the price point (even though it is lower than his other lines). 

I want every item in my closet. pronto.

It's feminine, chic, and fun.

I love the pleated skirts in every color/style.

Check out the Refinery29 article HERE and shop it HERE.

What is your fav. piece?!

Watch Out !

I recently expanded my watch collection (thanks to Christmas/my loving boyfriend) <3

If you couldn't tell from previous posts - I'm a huge Michael Kors fan...

I rarely use them for time (isn't that what a cell phone is for?!). I feel like a watch just completes an outfit.

I started adding bracelets with my watches changes the look in an instant! BaubleBar has some

amazing pieces. I'm a little obsessed with the site.

Just a few of my Favs:

 Gold watch - Michael Kors; Silver Watch - Betsey Johnson; Rose Gold w/ Leather - Michael Kors

Rose Gold - Michael Kors

White bracelet - gifted; other bracelets - BaubleBar

Girl Crush

I have a Girl Crush on Rachel Bilson

esp. on Hart of Dixie

I love her style!!!

Can we be friends?! Shopping buddies?! Thanks.

On the First, Second, and Third nights of Hannukah...

I survived my Monday at the office...barely...

I had a perfect holiday filled weekend!!! 

Friday night D and I went to get our FIRST Christmas Tree 

(that I call my Hanukkah Bush even tho he hates it)

I walked in and wanted the FIRST one we saw... but D made me keep looking.

I played hide and seek in the trees and then we finally decided on the perfect 7.foot.beauty.

We took the Tree to its new home and then headed to Target for decorations.

Derek always gets his way. SO he shot down my "blue and white Hanukkah colors" and

we ended up with Blue, Purple and White lights and Red and Gold ornaments.

(sounds like a mess of color but it came out gorg.!!!!)

Saturday was the First night of Hanukkah!

I bought myself a "Yonana" which is officially the greatest invention ever.

seriously...buy.one.now.

That night we met my family at the Rabbi's house (who happens to be a family friend) to light candles

and then my family headed out for a Hanukkah Sushi Dinner at Kushiyu. Yum.

After dinner D and I headed to my friend's birthday out in Culver City 

(we got lost and I swear we felt like we were in a different country)

We drink, drank, drunk and had the best time!

I woke up Sunday with the worst.hangover.ever. 

We invited Amber (my A, my twin, my second half, you get the point..) and her boyfriend Dennis (who is now Derek's D, his twin, his second half) over to watch Football and Tacos.

I'm not into the football part but I die for the Vallarta tacos...

I hope everyone is surviving their Monday.

Happy 3rd night of Hanukkah <3

Xo, Allison

P.S. If you haven't seen it already - Pink and Pepper is having an amazing 8 nights of Hannukah sale

Check.It.Out.

Finally Friday!

I can't believe its already December 7th!

Where has this year gone?!

My office got our Christmas Tree and its BEAUTIFUL.

(I can't wait to decorate my "Hanukkah Bush" for the house tomorrow)

So how was your Thursday?

Mine was a total Throwback.

Last night was my High School's Winter Concert.

I remember being in Vocal Ensemble and singing in the concert every year.

This year - My friend Daniel and I decided to go.

(Daniel is amazing. He is the Steven to my L.C.)

laguna beach anyone?

At the end of the Vocal Ensemble's performance, Mr.Pease (who was our teacher years ago)

calls up all Vocal Ensemble Alum. to sing Silent Night.

Cross it off the Bucket List.

We have kinda waited 6 years to do this. So fun and So many memoriesssss.

Side Note: Can we talk about this whole Neiman Marcus at Target thing?!

I like some of the stuff but its def too expensive for Target. Not sure if I can see myself spending 

$100 on a dress from target (Even if it is part of the N.M. collection.)

What are your thoughts?

Happy 2nd Birthday Noah!

My oldest nephew had his Lego Birthday Party today.

He is growing up Way.Too.Fast!

I went sentimental on his gift this year.

When my sisters and I were younger we had a personalized "Birthday Song" from Captain Zoom!

and the song has been stuck in my head ever since

I googled the song and found the SAME song just for Noah!!

He loved it and it brought tears to everyone in my family as we sang along.

Love my new AQUA sweater <3<3<3
