Cartier and America

Attention all San Franciscans! There is a Cartier retrospective exhibit at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco, which is currently running until April 18 , 2010. The exhibit includes Princess Grace Kelly's jewels that she wore when she wed Prince Rainier of Monaco and pieces from the jeweler's private collection. I plan on taking my mom this Sunday, where we will spend the day lunching and ogling at all these beautiful gems. I hope I can take pictures, and will definitely post it here if I can!

A Year in Review

This year has been very unexpected. I was unemployed for a total of 6 months, and was fortunate enough to finally find a job at Macys.com back in April. I learned so much at Macys and am so thankful to have been given the opportunity. It's hard to find a job in the retail industry, without any connection, and knowing that I've started to get my foot in the door without any help makes me realize that this is what I really want to do, and it's truly my passion. A new opportunity has come up, however, and I have decided to take a job with Levi Strauss & Co. in licensing which starts tomorrow. I am very excited to learn a new aspect of the apparel industry, and am looking forward to start a new job in this new year. I decided to include the collage below because October was probably the best month of the entire year; I got a chance to meet and interview Christian Siriano, Derek Lam, Yigal Azrouel, and The Sartorialist all within 2 weeks. I also threw Hubert Kellar in the mix, because who doesn't love him? I look back on 2009 with fond memories, and I hope 2010 is just as good to me. Have a great new year everyone!

My fashion wall is finally up!

What I Wore: Some Sparkle

I hope everyone had a great time sipping on champagne and ringing in the New Year with loved ones! My New Years was pretty low key-I just stayed in with family and had a small gathering at the house. New Years always means wearing some sparkle, so I decided to debut my jacket that I got at Forever 21. I love the black pyramid studs around the neckline and sleeves and the all around shimmer of the navy blue jacket. It's a little on the casual side, but it definitely adds that something extra to my boring pair of jeans and plain black tank. Happy New Years everyone!
