Meant To Be
Once upon a time, there was an affair that brought maidens from all over to an enchanted land…
The Anthropologie 50% Off Sale.
And in a dark corner in that crowded sale room, I found one single pair of my long-lusted-after Bowed Lacerta Mary Janes.
And I just couldn’t say no. We are now living happily ever after.

Beauty on the Streets
This past warm Saturday, I ventured out with my camera trying to soak up as much warm goodness as I could. Yet I found myself pretty darn uninspired. Face it kids, fall is long gone. And the colors of winter just aren’t rocking my world lately. So I stopped looking at landscapes and searching for remnants of orange and crisp leaves, and instead tried to pay attention to the mundane scenes on my street that I walk by every day but hardly pay attention to. And you know, I found them quite pretty.
Here’s the evidence via Instagram, and as always, linking up with a {little} dash of ash for Instagram Monday!

Best Foot Forward
You always dress in yellow, when you wanna dress in gold.
Who sings that GO!
Yeah. Hilary Duff.
But it’s the inspiration for my Friday’s Fancies today! One of my new year’s resolutions is to stop being afraid. So when {av} announced that today’s theme is “Best Foot Forward,” I thought, might as well take a leap and embrace something I’d probably have been too shy to wear before now…

Maison Ladurée
It’s no secret that I love French macarons. Love actually might be an understatement. That’s why I was thrilled when I got to make a quick stop at Maison Ladurée on Madison Ave while in NYC this past weekend.
I counted the days for this little Parisian bakery to open from the moment I first heard it was coming stateside, and I first visited it in November during my last New York trip. I even attempted to make my own macarons in the meantime. But let me tell you, the real thing? Nothing even compares.
Have you visited any of the Ladurée locations, in the U.S. or overseas? Tell me your favorite flavors if so, I have yet to try all of them!
Cornfields
Ok, not really. Just a marsh in my New England neighborhood. But coulda fooled you right??

NYE in NYC
Happy New Year everyone!!
While I would one day love to brace the crowds and see that glittery ball drop in person, I had a more untraditional New York New Year’s and instead stayed pretty far away from Times Square. But I did have such an incredible time ringing in 2012 with some of my best friends! Here’s a little taste of my night, and as always I’m linking up with a {little} dash of ash for an Instagram Link Party— first of the new year!
The Final Countdown
Happy Friday blogadees! I hope you’ve all had a relaxing week off, or if you’ve been working, a relaxed and quiet week in the office! I’m headed off to The Big Apple today to ring in 2012 with some friends I haven’t seen in far too long. But before I go, I’m linking up with {long distance loving} for a NYE Friday’s Fancies. I’ll actually be wearing my bolero that I just can’t get enough of tomorrow night, but I’m also pretty smitten with this glittery Topshop number and sparkly accessories…

Valorie Glitter Clutch, Edit New York, $550

And as a quick closeout to 2011… it was certainly a year of changes. I am more than ready for a new one to start, but I’m thankful for everything I learned and for everyone I’ve met this year, especially my friends in the blogging community! Reading your blogs and getting to know you has been a highlight to say the least. I’m excited for what the new year has in store for me, and what I have in store for it.
Bring it 2012.
