A sweet confectionery

Good Morning gorgeous people out there! :) I woke up way too early on my day off and now I can't get back to bed.  Don't you just hate that? 

I made these macarons last night.  And although I can't eat them, they came out quite lovely, didn't they?  I received a box of macarons for Christmas and gobbled them up almost immediately.  Unfortunately, the three I left on the kitchen counter overnight made friends with some ants (yes, gross, I know!), so they had to be discarded.  I guess what's even more disgusting, was my thought of "dusting" the ants off and devouring the macarons.  Don't worry, I didn't, but I was very close to doing so.  Yup, that's how much I ♥ macarons!

Happy Wednesday.  I hope the Sandman will visit me this morning.  At least for a little while.

Love, S

Glamour me

Belated Merry Christmas my loves.  Hope you had a fabulous time celebrating with your loved ones.  We had a pretty low key Christmas this year.  Spent Christmas Eve with my parents and grandma and Christmas Day with the in-laws.  It still didn't really feel like Christmas to me, but I still had a great time.

I have a date with a Vampire Bill tonight and this is what I decided to wear.  Anyone else obsessed with True Blood?  I've definitely been bitten.

The rain poured down when we touched lips

Can you believe Christmas is only three days away!?!  Hopefully I can get my Christmas shopping done by then.  I feel like I haven't been bitten by the Christmas bug yet.  And I'm also feel scrooge-like... bah humbug! Just kidding.  I have to be honest though, it doesn't feel the same this year. I've lost it!  I've lost the Christmas spirit.  If anyone finds it, please send it my way. :)

The hubby snapped these shots while we were waiting for the rain to pass.  It's been rainy here in the islands AND I love it!  I didn't expect it today though and therefore wasn't dressed to battle the downpour.  I couldn't wait any longer, so I made an impromptu poncho out of some plastic shopping bags and made a dash to the car.  Did I make it there safely?  Sure did.  But my skirt and sandals suffered battle wounds.  They were soaked!!! Grrrr. 

On a lighter note, I'm totally loving my new bangles (in chocolate and gold) courtesy of Wendy Mink Jewelry.  They are the perfect accessory and go with just about any outfit!  Thank you WMJ team! <3

ClubCouture

We all love fabulous affordable fashion right?  Of course we do, who doesn't?  When I discovered ClubCouture I was quite impressed with the selection of their pieces.  ClubCouture is an international fashion label, but their main market is in the US, UK, and Australia.  The range of items they have would delight the trendy teen and also a sophisticated working woman.   ClubCouture's designers hail from all parts of the globe (New York, LA, Paris, Shanghai, and Bangkok to name a few). I also love that only a few of each item is produced, ensuring exclusivity.  A few of my favorites items would be the airy nude chiffon dress, the playful tere ruffle dress, the classic over sized silk shirt, and the eye catching dark grey linen palazzo. 

I was super excited when they offered to send me a couple pieces of my own (thanks Nerissa!!).  Shipping was quite speedy, especially coming from Singapore.  I received this awesome distressed shirt dress.  .  I absolutely love the worn in look.  It's made of 100% cotton and it feels so soft against my skin.  I really love how it loosely hangs off my body, but still maintains a shape that flatters too.

I know you lovelies love shopping and saving, so ClubCouture is offering my readers a 15% discount when you shop on their site.  Simply enter: CCBLOG15 at check out.  There's still time to do some Christmas shopping (I haven't even started!!).  And if you don't get it in time for Christmas, everyone loves After-Christmas presents as well.  Also, like ClubCouture on Facebook and you can enter to win your favorite ClubCouture item.  Simply leave a comment here.

A letter to Solestruck...

I wrote this letter to Solestruck in hopes that I could be one of the lucky gals to win a pair of my very own Lita's!  Want. Love. Need.  Crossing fingers tightly!

Dear Solestruck, 

All I want for Christmas is for my craving of the Glitter Lita's to be satisfied.  I'm so obsessed with the Lita's, that it consumes my thoughts each day.  I've tried several times to purchase a pair, but fail at each attempt.  My heart is saddened.  So for now, these painted Lita's on my nails will have to do... Please make my Christmas wish come true Solestruck!  Let me be the baddest chick on the island rockin' the raddest shoe on the planet!!!

Nail Art done by Me!

Update: I wasn't lucky enough to win, but my photo made it on the Solestruck blog! Thanks Solestruck, you guys rock!!! AND my nails made it onto the Jeffrey Campbell blog as well.  FAMAZING!!!

Leopard twins

I love having a pup who loves dressing up as much as I do.  Pooma is the stylish maltipoo I know.  She's also very spoiled.  I went through her wardrobe and she has over 30 pieces of clothing!  She even has a raincoat, scarf, leg warmers, and shoes.  We recently got her a leopard fur vest and she absolutely loves it.  So of course we needed to take a photo of us sporting our furs!  Look how happy she is...

Thanks Sally for the fur coat! I'll love it forever!

And I wanted to announce the winner of my Jeffrey Campbell Giveaway.  Congrats to JoAnn of Sidewalk Chic.  You're going to look super chic sporting the JC's.  I hope you have as much fun in them as I do in mine.  I'll email you in a bit to get your info.  Thanks to everyone to entered!

Love, S

Pardon my french

Je souhaite moi étions assis sous la tour eiffel manger des macarons. Ou faire du shopping sur les Champs Elysées. Ou en admirant l'art au Louvre. Ou peut-être même de visiter la maison Madame Chanel. Un jour je vais le faire à Paris douce. Et là, je vais avoir le temps de ma vie!

hee hee.. I only wish I knew how to speak & understand French. Thanks Google Translator!! :)

Raindrop kisses

The weather today was amazing.  It rained and rained and rained.  And it was coooold!  Well, cold for us Hawaii peeps.  I get so excited when we have weather like this, because it's a rarity.

This was the first time I tried the tights with shorts look and I'm not too certain if I like it, at least on me.  I think this look is more suited for the ladies with slender legs.  :P  I'm glad I finally got to wear tights without feeling hot in them.  These didn't provide that much warmth, but they were super cute.  You can't really tell in the photos (because my camera is sooo crappy), but they have little swiss dots all over.  I really do need to consider getting a new camera.  I feel like I've been talking about that forever, so until it happens, you'll just have to appreciate the crappy photos. :)

The weekend is here!  Hope you all enjoy it.

What's in a name (necklace)

Don over at My Name Necklace offered to send me my very own name necklace.  I've wanted one since it debuted on the fashionable Carrie Bradshaw!!

There was no doubt what name I wanted on the necklace.  I received it in less than two weeks, that's production time + shipping time.  I was really impressed on how quickly it shipped to me in Hawaii (mind you, it shipped from Israel!).  The necklace is beautiful and perfect.  Made of solid sterling silver, the craftsmanship and quality of the necklace is impeccable.  It's secured to a sterling silver box chain (I chose 18").  When I opened the box, I was thrilled.  It was so shiny and pretty.  I put it on immediately and it fit like a dream.

You know you want one or know someone who'd love one.  And starting at only $29.99, it's a steal! Get one, get two, get three!!  A My Name Necklace would make a perfect Christmas gift. You can even save 10% off your purchase.  Simply enter "Elisharon" at check out to receive your discount.  There's free Christmas shipping too.  Click on over and snatch your very own personalized necklace.  Oh, and they have rings too!!

Love, S

when you live forever, what do you live for...

The semester is winding down and I'm a bit sad.  I happy that we get a break for 3 weeks, but sad that a few friends that I've made this semester won't be taking the same classes that I'll be taking next semester  :(  And I'm super sad that one friend is moving to Orlando! Boo!!  Sally, stay!  I'll buy you an new LV bag.. ha ha.

Here's are a few pieces that I've done recently.  I'm super stoked for next semester because I get to learn how to make my own patterns (flat pattern making) and will also be taking a knits course. 

Okay, time to go clean up my sewing mess... don't forget to enter my Jeffrey Campbell Giveaway below!! :)

Stylish, moi?

Thanks to one of the most fashionable mommy-to-be blogger, Lena for awarding me with the...

I'm supposed to share 7 facts about myself, so here goes:

1.  I believe in unicorns.  They DO exist.

2.  99% of the time, I'm running late.  The one day that I was actually on time, was our wedding day.

3.  I'm a firm believer in naps.  It's great for the skin.  Hello, Sleeping Beauty! She was gorgeous.

4.  I always need to eat something sweet after a meal.

5.  I can't finish a cup-o-noodle, but I can eat a whole plate lunch!

6.  I'd give up all the shoes I own for a pair of Louboutins!  Um, wait. this is only half true.  The Loubies would need to fit like a dream!

7.  I haven't been to the gym in almost 3 months. :(

Hope everyone had a great hump day... off to meet the hubby for dinner. Kisses. Hugs. (I like hugs better).  Btw, where has the year gone? I can't believe it's already December. Yeeesh!!
