Look I love...

Karl Lagerfeld recently debuted the Chanel Spring 2011 Couture Collection and my favorite part was all the models had flats on. Karl himself declared that he was sick of all the high heels and had the models walk the runway in black mules. Can't wait to bust mine out as soon as this snow melts. My shoes are vintage Nine West.

The office...

I was checking out the latest from Rue Magazine and found this lovely office space. I could definitely get a lot of work done here.

Lucky...

I love hearing this song, it just puts a smile on my face. I picked up Salma from school and in the car we were listening to this song and at the end she says "mommy they really love each other"! Happy Friday!

Love it...

Scarlett Johansson for Mango Spring 2011 campaign. She just rocks it!

Outside my window...

This is what we wake up too. I can't argue, the snow looks beautiful but I am so over it. I shoveled my driveway four times yesterday. This morning the phone rang, school is closed and surprisingly my husbands office is closed. The hubby can take the kids sledding, you know what that means, I get to do laundry in peace!

Rockin' it with Rikshaw...

Today Salma and I headed into the city to check out the ENK Trade show, Children's Club. We met up with Catherine, creator of Rikshaw Design. What a treat it was to get a sneak peek of her latest additions to her collection coming this spring/summer 2011! The newest patterns are brilliant and the summer dresses for the little girls were so sweet, Salma will definitely be getting one. I did take a picture with Catherine, actually I should say Salma took a picture of us, it didn't make the cut.

Get this look...

My sis raves about these two sisters from the UK, Samantha and Nicola and they do makeup tutorials that are pretty pretty! They call themselves PixiWoo and they are amazing, with a step by step how to, you will be able to do these looks yourself. As they walk you through they let you know which products and tools you will need. I've tried it and I give it two thumbs up.

Never forget a face...

We love eeBoo toys in our house, beautiful and well-made educational games my kids are so happy to be playing with theirs. I recently got them this memory game where you match faces from all over the world. While my kids play they have their atlas book next to them so they can see on the map where these countries actually are.

Cover girl...

I like Jennifer Aniston, I think she is great at what she does and she looks amazing.

My favorite from the Globes...

In my opinion the look of the night was Anne Hathaway in Armani. LOVE, love, loved that gown. Head to toe she shined, everything about it worked. Hair, makeup and dress was spot on and age appropriate. I saw too many young beautiful actresses with uptight up do's that did nothing for the gowns they had on, boring.

My little inspiration...

I love this picture of Salma when she was a baby, because of her crazy drooling she inspired me to create Jack & Salma my biby tee. Here she is wearing one of the first samples and using it exactly how it is intended, wiping away her drool and soothing her own teething gums. Check out my Etsy shop.

I heart...

I love me a good cupcake and Buttercup Bake Shop has GOOD cupcakes. Every year for my kiddies birthdays we always get them their cakes and cupcakes from there.

Fresh start...

Fellow Colombian, Tata Harper created a 100% all natural beauty line featuring the worlds finest natural ingredients, not one single chemical is used. I'm impressed, not only is her packaging beautiful and simple but from the reviews I have read Tata is on to something. All done on her own farm in Vermont Tata hand mixes all her products to offer us gals amazing results. I first read about her in Vogue and now am very intrigued to try her stuff.

Verizon finally gets the iPhone...

Finally, I have the option to get an iPhone. I have had Verizon service since my very first cell phone, all my siblings have the iPhone and I have a Blackberry. I kinda like my Blackberry. What to do? Pre-orders for existing Verizon customers start Feb 3rd.

Sweets divine...

The latest issue of Lonny Magazine is out and once again it does not disappoint. The pages are filled with the most beautiful ideas to decorate your home. Alas page 70 was my favorite, a recipe for whoopie pies. During the holidays my friend Cathy made a tray of whoopie pies, half chocolate and half red velvet, to die for!

Beauty...

Iman is just gorgeous and her cosmetics are amazing, created for women of color this kit is the perfect take along. The Iman Eye-Con Collection($35) is a step by step palette that will give you super model results! I remember back in the day I was working at a beauty magazine and I came back from lunch, checked my voicemail and on it was Iman's voice "Hello Nicolle, it is Iman I would like to talk to you about...." her voice was so seductive, her beauty was echoing through the phone. Available January 15th.

Evolution of a coffee cup...

I love coffee and I treat myself to Starbucks every once in a while but I had no idea that their logo was a mermaid?

Snow, snow go away...

Spring/Summer 2011 is looking so good to me right now. Another fabulous collaboration is coming to a Target near you. Calypso St. Barth, luxury resort wear, has created a beautiful and affordable collection coming May 1st to Target. I can't wait, the hubby and I honeymooned in St. Barth and this is the closest that I will get to getting back there.

Happy Chic...

My mother Lucia rocked it again in the dress making arena. This was Salma's dress this past Christmas eve, she looked so pretty in pink. Thanks mom!

Smelling good...

I found these luxury soy candles on Etsy from Laila Belle, the choice of scents are endless so you are sure to find one you absolutely love!

Layers...

I love the look of layered jewelry. When I received my J.CREW catalogue this week in the mail the cover was so spring inspiring. I have tons of accessories that I can stack up on my wrist to ride out this trend. The pearls in my picture are actually a necklace given to me by my dad and I thought why not double it up and wear it as a bracelet!

Casual Cool...

I heart this tweed jacket from GAP. My sister has it and it looks great on her and considering we are identical twins I know it will look great on me too. I may have to borrow it permanently!

Splurge vs Steal...

I have been on the prowl for a large mirror for my downstairs bathroom. I found this gorgeous round mirror from Z.GALLERIE, but with a $$$ price tag. Off I went to HomeGoods to see what I could find and Viola I found this square one for $70. Now I need to start construction so I can hang it up.

Thoughts for the New Year...

Monday morning and the kids are back at school, WooHoo! Reading my daily blogs I stumbled upon this very cute notebook that Two Ellie wrote about. I want to be more organized this new year and hopefully forever and I like the idea of lists and keeping budgets, etc. I will be getting myself a cute notebook from Bubbo on Etsy, they will customize your notebook to say whatever you want.

William Rast for Target...

Awesome score at Target, from William Rast (Justin Timberlakes brand). These boot cut jeans ROCK, the pocket detail makes your bum look great!
