yes, please.

As February’s unofficial mascot, I tend to take my birthday month for all it’s worth. I started the party with a trip to San Francisco, aka my sister city, for a stay in the lap of luxury! In order to arrive in style with easily interchangeable pieces, this vacay involved some serious outfit preparation time! I tend to OVER pack in general, but I had quite a few events on the agenda ranging from cocktail parties to play dates with my nephews. To focus my inspiration I chose to style stalk my current muse Olivia Palermo, and I took hints from her playfully eclectic-meets-urban sophisticate signature look. I jumped way out of my silhouette comfort zone and raised all hemlines to mini’s (plus black hose of course), and I ditched my military parka in favor of a city sleek leather jacket. My suitcase was maxed with funky flats (maybe even a ‘hook or two!) and fancy daytime layers. In the end my pocket book ached from a couple of impossible to pass up investment pieces… but sometimes the birthday girl just needs to OWN it! Oh snap, Toots!

daytime dazz included.
