“Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.”

And here we are....2015! It’s amazing how times flies. Damn, I feel old. Oh wait, I AM old. LOL.

So remember that road trip I was talking about in my last post? Well it happened and ya gotta love the spontaneity. My amazing photographer friend Tina Clara and I decided to skip town for New Years and go to Antelope Canyon in Page, Arizona. When we arrived into town, flurry of snowflakes began to fall. By next morning, we opened our hotel window to a dreamy, wintery wonderland. It was a beautiful sight to see...fluffy snow everywhere! While snow wasn’t what we expected on this trip, we happily embraced it with open arms. Life is full of surprises and sometimes things don’t turn out the way you originally planned. But you make do and in the process you will discover many new exciting possibilities. Ahhh...that’s beauty of life.

While we waited for the snow to clear out for the Antelope Canyon tour, we explored around town and had fun in the snow. I certainly didn’t expect the kind of weather so my wardrobe reflects that....but one can never go wrong with a LBD! Even in the snowy weather during New Years eve lol. When in doubt, wear black. I love flouncing about in this classy little black dress from LUSH. It’s cute, classy, and just the right amount of flirty sexy. I braved the snow outdoors for this post and almost lost my fingers (among other body parts) in the process...frostbite anyone?? LOL.

May this new year be a positive step forward in leading you to many new adventures, new roads to explore and new success in all your endeavors. Here’s to wishing you all a Lush and a Happy New Year! xo jt

“I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls."

Today would have been Audrey Hepburn’s 85th birthday. In honor of this well-loved and adored fashion style icon, I pay a little homage by channeling her classic and timeless style. In this case....a hair bun, clean lines, red lips, and a girly skirt.

I absolutely adore this skirt by Topshop. I love how it poofs out and when worn, it sure makes one feel like a princess! Not to say the least, it’s white. Not something I would wear on the norm. Yeah, go ahead and try keeping this clean. Well, one can’t live forever under a rock, worrying about getting something dirty. Get over it. Take a risk! The black and white crop top (croptop??? suck that gut in lol!) has a lovely flower lace detail in the back. It’s delicate, cute and oh, soooo on sale! The bold stripes are not too thin nor too thick, and contrasts nicely with the white skirt. I kept everything black and white, except for the red lips and the pop of the yellow bag to give the look a little more life. I certainly had a little too much fun getting dressed for this day..because after all, as Audrey's saying goes...happy girls are the prettiest girls. And this makes me happy! :) xx
