Quote of the Day


"This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, somg go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up becuase if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."

Outfit Post 8-31-11


$1 Burgers at Bar Louie, so why not get alittle fancied up to go out to dinner with Miss. Mi's. Along the walk from parking the car, there was the cutest retro book store and it seemed like a great place to take a few outfit pics... It's been awhile since I have done a " Get the Look"
So here ya go hehe


These shoes are awesome (also featured on my older blog post top fall shoes.) But let me tell you something... You need a little training before heading out for the night. The tend to rock ya forward if you aren't careful, since Miss Jessica designed them with a curved up toe Muy Bueno. Oh well I still love them, and beauty knows no pain... at least thats what I hear hehe


Love this cuff, It is one of my fall Favorites
and of course a bow headband... my signature touch

What Lexi Does on a Day Off

So on a day off, when its grey outside and im just enjoying being at my little apartment... I think to myself " What should I do?" Well make a dress of course ;) My mom is so funny after I sent her the pic of the dress she responds with " hmm Im so bored, guess I will wittle out a dress" and thats exactly what I did!


I guess you can say this is where the magic happens lol


All done :) but the floor really does not do it justice


I believe the best part about creating something is being able to actually enjoy it... by wearing it ;)



and here is a close-up shot, so you can see the details <3

Lexi's Top 5 Fall Shoe Trends


1.) Reptile Skins- The reptile leather will be very popular for Fall/Winter. Designers will be showcasing shoes with this material. Collections from Balenciaga, Armani, Chloe, Louis Vuitton and Valentino will feature this trend.


2.) Suede- Suede will also be hot this Fall/Winter season. It looks chic and classy. Suede is a classic material which has always been present every season. It comes in different shades making it trendy.


3.) Platform and Wedges- Platform and wedges created a ruckus in the fashion scene during the Spring/Summer 2011 season. For the season ahead we will be seeing classic and elegant designs of these shoes.


4.) Lace- Lacing on the shoes transformed a new look for wedges. It created a feminine and classic look. For the coming season lace will still be popular but with a modern and edgier twist.


5.) Chunky Heels- This trend will still be popular for the Fall/Winter season. Clogs are great examples of chunky heels. Boots with chunky heels will be hot since the season is perfect for some edgier style.

Lexi's Fall 2011 Must Haves


1.) Plunging Necklines- Why they look fab on everyone. This is a sure way to catch some attention and look sexy. Done right, this is such a simply stunning look. Make it fun with a print or do a solid either way this fall you will knock them dead!


2.) Sheer Maxi Dress- This one is def a trend of the season and most for those fashion risk takers. Its still covering yet sexy with the sheer to expose the leg ;) loves it


3.) Lace- Lace Lace Lace everywhere. Honestly this has to be one of my favorite trends. Lace is so feminine yet sexy. I love love love wearing lace. Even though this trend is so hot for fall, I must admit... in the fashionista's closet well lace IS ALWAYS IN.


4.) Choker Style Necklaces- Looking to take some of your basics and get them fall ready and styled? Try updating your wardrobe by working the right accessories. In this economy the accessory business is booming, and why is that you ask? A simple black dress is always a staple and if you buy the right quality ladies, you can make these last forever. So the best way to update your classics is by adding the right up to date accessories.


5.) Fur- This trend is another fab fav of mine! I absolutely wanna rock fur (fux of course) and you should too!

Get me to the Greek ;)


So on a Girls Night Out myself and Ivonne found ourselves wondering around thinking what exactly could we do. It's Chicago so there must be something going on... Since greek town is only a few blocks from my apt I suggested we go there and to our surprise it was GREEKFEST yay!


We danced the night away to greek music... it almost felt like we had left america


tons of games lined the street and it was so so much fun!


And of course there was shopping greek style of course!


I love culture and how it reflects in the style of clothing ;) So much inspiration everywhere ... all you really need to do is open your eyes

Quote of the Day



“Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.”

My First Birthday Cake!

So I know its kinda sad but really this is the first legit birthday cake I ever made. I even baked two separate layers haha. But for my first cake, im thinking I maybe did inherit some of the sullivan cooking genes I thought that skipped me
Yummy red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting

Iced and ready to put my lexi touch on it

Taaa Dahhh!!! I found the most adorable candles that also went with my plates haha

Blowing out his candles

Finally I got to taste my creation ... And it was de-lish, so good that he ate some for breakfast today ;)

Yay for Presents ;)

Buying a man a birthday gift can be quite tricky. Girls have a different idea of what good surprises are then most men. See for a girl its simple, flowers, nice dinner, some diamonds haha no matter how big or small you simply cant go wrong with that ;) But how do I buy a gift for a guy I haven't been dating that long really and not look like a stage 5 clinger... I read in my book " A Modern Girls Guide to Life" ( which I bought in high school, but I still find myself going back to it for different things in my life haha) She expressed no monograming no pictures in frames and to just go simple. Which made me think maybe I should just go classic... The vintage rolex idea I had will just have to wait till he's 30

You can never go wrong with a nice tailored button-up and cuff links. Reason 1.) Men never think to buy themselves cuff links. Its the little details that slip their mind but yet every man likes them. ESP: If he takes pride in the way they look.


Since I went with the black in white stripe shirt, I thought it needed just a little something to make it pop. Which drew me to red ( because red, black and white totally IN right now)


Choosing a quality mens shirt is also key. Most guys when shopping for these items go to your basic Express, Macy's, ect. Which is totally fine, but its something they can buy themselves. So I went with a classic Valentino and let me tell you, its made with perfection ;)


And because you know I like to get a bit crafty, I hand screened a shirt for my bebo. He loved it too because it was made by me

PS I think I have way more fun shopping for a guy then I do myself hehe
