Today's Look

Dear Babes,

I have been expecting it to rain for the past few days and it finally rained today! I was out grocery shopping in sandals, so obviously it came to me as a surprise. I went back to my apartment and changed right after! So here is my outfit that definitely kept me a lot warmer. I am wearing my Tory Burch Over-the-Knee Boots (I wrote a post about them below) and this cute cardigan I found at Forever 21! Super cheap but still looks expensive. I wore it over a casual black tank top on top of black jeggings. 

Simone Over-The-Knee Boot by Tory Burch

Hey Babes,

I recently purchased and received my Tory Burch's Simone Over-the-Knee Boots! Now that fall fashion is coming into all the stores, it is time to put away your cut-off booty shorts and bikinis and start thinking about getting warm and cozy in layers. I've been searching tirelessly for the perfect over-the-knee black boots! Here are some images of them from the Tory Burch website. They are priced at $525 and comes in Black or Brown.

I wore them one day when I was just out and about in the city, and got complements right away! I'm only 5 foot 2, but they hit me right where I like them. I have rather big calves and was looking for a boot that hugged but gave me a little bit of wiggle room and these fit just right. You have to wear thick socks with them especially at first just to break them in. I plan on buying some cute thigh high socks to layer inside the boots! 

The nice thing about them is that the zipper goes all the way down the whole backside of the boots. I found with the Stewart Weitzman's 50/50s that they were difficult to take on and off especially if you wanted to wear them with jeans. These don't give as a snug fit, but worked for me. Also the Weitzmans are a little bit more pricey at $635.

Here's a few images of me wearing them:

Reintroducing My Blog

Hey Babes,

I realize I haven't been the most faithful of bloggers and I am here tonight, writing to you to let you know that things are about to change. I created this blog all the way back in 2008! Can you believe it? There has been many directions I have tried to take this blog, but nothing really stuck. However, as a new and exciting chapter of my life has opened up, I wanted to re-visit the dream I had of creating a lifestyle blog for the young and stylish. I moved to the great New York City just a week ago and I thought sharing my new adventures about the city would be perfect! Let me re-cap you about my experiences so far:

I've experienced my first sunrise, my first lightening storm, and my first day out to relax.

I have to say, I can get used to a view like this every morning.

Casual Blue x Birkenstocks

My boyfriend and I satisfied our acai berry craving this morning. Ever since Barefoot Bowls opened up in Irvine, we haven't had to drive all the way to Newport Beach for this yummy treat! 

Wearing: Shorts from Urban Outfitters, Forever 21 Knit Sweater $19.80, Birkenstocks from Nordstroms, Louis V Wallet Summer 2013

I'm going to be doing a lot of walking in New York as I search for apartments so I stopped by my nail salon for a little pampering :) 

Wearing: Tory Burch Wrap Bracelets, Tiffany & Co. Paloma Picasso Goldoni Quad Ring, Urban Outfitters BDG Super High Rise Shorts

Louis Vuitton Summer 2013

The new Louis Vuitton Summer 2013 collection really caught my eye! The playful and sweet floral design in powder pink, hot pink, or blue really stands out and creates a new twist to some of LV's signature designs. Once I saw the Insolite wallet in person, there was no way I could resist. So I bought it! And it is now getting hot stamped with my three initials: J.D.Y.

Lust Affair

I definitely had an affair with shopping today. I went into Sephora just to exchange the Dior Show mascara for a different mascara because I didn't really like the Dior. I wouldn't recommend it because it clumps worst than any other mascara I've ever had. I ended up buying Bad gal lash by Benefit for $19, Two Faced Perfect Eyes eyeliner for $18, and Smith's Rosebud lip balm for $6.

Gun Metal Nails

I had white nails all last week so I decided to go for a darker look. The dark grey is from my trip to Korea from a brand called Faceit and the gold flakes I got from CVS from a brand called Minali.

I'm wearing a Tiffany & Co. Infinity bracket which is $550. A H&M bracelet I got in London. I forgot how much it was. Sorry! And a Michael Kors Rose Gold watch.

My First

There has been a lot to be inspired by lately! As the Winter season rolls away quickly here in Southern California, I've been dreaming of all of the Spring trends to come. 

The Fashion Lush Affair:

When it came down to picking my blog's title, it brought me back to when everyone used AIM. When prompted to choose a screen name, I always became really anxious and it literally took hours to finally choose one. I would always regret the name a few weeks later and rightfully so! I remember one of them was KoreanKutie9887. Embarrassing. 

I hope this blog name sticks! When thinking about my personal style and taste, I noticed that I'm attracted to very lush clothing and accessories. When looking on tumblr. I am immediately attracted to anything luxurious so that explains the lush. 

I've always had a love affair with fashion. This complicated a lot because I would find myself buying copies of Vogue rather than my lunch. It seems like I'm cheating on food with fashion.
