				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/office11.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4924" alt="office1" src="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/office11.png?w=500&#038;h=751" width="500" height="751" /></a></p>
<p>I am happily and willingly stranded in a little piece of heaven called Acapulco, that explains my 8-day absence. After a long and cruel European winter and my big move back home, my corpse-like skin (poor thing didn&#8217;t see the sun in over 8 months) desperately needed the sea and the sun. Trust me, it hasn&#8217;t been easy to have my body understand that I am no vampire and that 7 months ago I was walking the fine line between a tanned Barbie and a Jersey guido (I have developed all sorts of rashes and sun allergies that one can possibly imagine). Anyway, I will get back my normal, non &#8220;Casper the friendly ghost&#8221; skin tone while soaking up the beautiful Acapulco sun!</p>
<p>Oh and just so you know, I&#8217;m wearing lots of sunscreen.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">It&#8217;s almost Friday, hang in there!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Sweet kisses&#8230;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/spring-groc.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4856" alt="spring groc" src="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/spring-groc.png?w=500&#038;h=593" width="500" height="593" /></a></p>
<p>Good evening, my sweet readers! Today I&#8217;m back with the last part of our Spring Groceries series. Since you are probably tired from a long day of work, I&#8217;m gonna make this quick. Every season has its staples and for Spring 2013, it&#8217;s all about a game between the neutrals and the brights. Ready to play? Here they are!</p>
<p><a href="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/neutrals.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4846" alt="NEUTRALS" src="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/neutrals.png?w=500&#038;h=838" width="500" height="838" /></a>Neutrals are major mixers and life savers. When not having a clue on how to pair up that pair of wild printed trousers, throw a neutral solid and you are good to go! This Spring, palate cleansers are one of the strongest trends, but instead of spending on a stylish, seasonal piece, why not buy something that can work with almost anything, and in every season. Here&#8217;s a list of items your closet desperately needs:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Barely there heels:</strong> Get a black pair, a colorful one if you want but please you can&#8217;t leave your wardrobe without a pair of nude, barely there, heeled sandals. Zara (pictured) has quite an assortment, so does Net-a-porter.</li>
<li><strong>The white shorts:</strong> This asymmetrical style from Zara has everyone going crazy, but if you are not into the whole wrap-around shorts, any type of white smart shorts will do. Leg flashing is the biggest warm weather perk.</li>
<li><strong>Naked top handle:</strong> Ladylike bags are a must this season and buying a neutral colored bag is always worth the splurge.</li>
<li><strong>The minimal clutch:</strong> For those evenings out with friends or date nights with the boyfriend, a minimal envelope clutch is a good game changer. This beauty is from Marni.</li>
<li><strong>Basic trainers:</strong> Forget about the black high-tops you wore all Winter, this season is all about bright whites. Isabel Marant has a beautiful pair, but so does Zara (pictured). Go get  &#8216;em!</li>
<li><strong>Short-sleeve sweatshirt</strong>: A major basic for Spring! Great with denim shorts, camo skinnies or over a sundress, possibilities are endless! This one is from Zara.</li>
<li><strong>Nude joggers</strong>: Maybe is just me, but lately, smart joggers are my new skinny jeans. With a cropped top and a blazer or a lightweight sweater, you can go to work, to a lunch and even happy hour!</li>
<li><strong>LWD:</strong> Who cares about black when you can soak up the sun in a little white number. This baby is from McQueen.</li>
<li>The white pump: If you don&#8217;t have your pair or haven&#8217;t seen them everywhere, yoy really have been missing on a major trend.</li>
<li><strong>Neutral nails:</strong> They were on almost every runway last September and YSL&#8217;s Beige Leger is the perfect shade to pull it off.</li>
<li><strong>Naked sandals:</strong> A single strap in a neutral color? Perfect Spring and Summer off-duty companions.</li>
</ol>
<p><a href="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/birghts.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4849" alt="birghts" src="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/birghts.png?w=500&#038;h=838" width="500" height="838" /></a></p>
<p>For every neutral you get, you should get a bright. The best way to cheer and spice up an ensemble is with a colorful garment. This season, there&#8217;s a lot of color, a lot of it!</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Bold bralet:</strong> Pair up your high-waisted pants with one of this, throw over a blazer. Trust me, it doesn&#8217;t get more chic than that. Just remeber, do your crunches, drink your water! Bralet, Tucker</li>
<li><strong>Ethnic mini:</strong> The perfect garment for those sunny days, with a denim shirt or a plain tee. Flat sandals? Lace-up heels? Skirt, Thu Thu</li>
<li><strong>The bright pussybow:</strong> For work, to spice up your corporate look. To dress up your jeans for a lunch date with friends. With a pair of shorts for an easy breezy evening. It&#8217;s classic with a twist.</li>
<li><strong>Emerald trousers:</strong> You choose the cut and shape (tapered, joggers, skinny, flared), but since Emerald is the color of the season, this are a must!</li>
<li><strong>Disco sandals:</strong> Metallic footwear is the biggest hit of the season (thanks Burberry Prorsum for that). A pair of mirror flat sandals in pink (from ASOS) or blue can make an outfit more fun and daring.</li>
<li><strong>Pink mini shoulder bag:</strong> Shoulder bags, little ones, have taken over Spring. We can find them in any color and texture we want, but a pink one? Pink is always resourceful, girly and pretty.</li>
<li><strong>Electric points:</strong> Electric blue has been around for a while now (jeans, dresses, bags) and pointy shoes just made a big comeback. Put them together and the result is flawlessly perfect. This sexy pair is from Zara.</li>
<li><strong>Silky shift:</strong> Shift dresses are ideal for warm and sunny days. Silk is perhaps the fabric with the most beautiful texture and it clings to the body like no other. Choose the color you prefer, but make it a bright one.</li>
<li><strong>The yellow blazer:</strong> When it comes to blazers this Spring, yellow is the new black. This one is affordable and happy, you can find it on Zara.com</li>
<li><strong>Pink hot shorts:</strong> Pink will have the leading role when it comes to colors this Fall. Why not start wearing it right now? Shorts, Christopher Kane</li>
<li><strong>Naked &amp; red:</strong> I&#8217;ve said it a million times, barely there sandals are a must this season. Get them in every color possible, I know I will. Add a touch of spice by buying a red pair. Heels, Zara</li>
<li>V<strong>itamin bodycon bikini:</strong> There&#8217;s nothing sexier than a bandage bikini in orange or pink? Remember, vitamin color and a tan make a killer combo. Bikini, Herve Leger.</li>
</ol>
<p>And that&#8217;s a wrap for our Spring Groceries series! Now you know what you need, so&#8230; Happy shopping!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Sweet kisses&#8230;</p>

<p>It all began one rainy afternoon, when wanting to creatively personalize my resume&#8230; I started with one doodle, then the other and so on. I scanned them and began piling them up.

<p>Good evening, my sweet readers! I&#8217;m catching up as fast as I can with my posts and my articles and today, after more than a month without them, the Nail Files are back. Some people say Emerald is the color of the season (ok, Pantone said it), but I dare to disagree. This season, it&#8217;s all about pink. It doesn&#8217;t matter if you go for hot pink, baby or salmon, the important thing is taking advantage of the prettiest color from the bunch. That&#8217;s why I made a selection of the best shades of pink polish you can find right now. Keep those nails girly and pretty, keep &#8216;em pink!</p>
<p><a href="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/tutu-pink.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4725" alt="tutu pink" src="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/tutu-pink.png?w=500&#038;h=247" width="500" height="247" /></a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/groceries.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4692" alt="groceries" src="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/groceries.png?w=500&#038;h=522" width="500" height="522" /></a></p>
<p>As promised, I am back with another one of our Spring Groceries posts, it&#8217;s the second from a three-part series. Dressing up casually or for an evening out is relatively easy. Almost every day, women ask themselves the same question: &#8220;What am I supposed to wear today?&#8221; And then comes the next statement: &#8220;I have absolutely nothing to wear (even though the closet is packed with clothes)&#8221;. Having your off-duty and on duty basics is what will save you from arriving late to dinner after you put on your entire closet and ended up with the first thing you tried on. They will save you from arriving late to work because your alarm didn&#8217;t go off and you didn&#8217;t have a last minute savior, the garment you know you can pair with almost anything and whip up a great look. This reasons are reasons enough for me to put together a Spring 2013 Off-duty, On duty basics. Check them out and cross out those you already have. Let&#8217;s begin!</p>
<p><a href="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/on-duty.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4693" alt="on duty" src="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/on-duty.png?w=500&#038;h=838" width="500" height="838" /></a>Drinks with friends, a first date, a family dinner, a night out with the colleagues, our lives are filled with things to do and places to be. And there are times where those skinny jeans and your high-tops just won&#8217;t do. For a dressier occasion, there is always the basic garment you just can&#8217;t live without. Forget about the boring black blazer or the black stiletto pumps, this Spring  the &#8220;on duty&#8221; garments are more unexpected than expected:</p>
<ol>
<li>Warrior heels: They are sexy and they have that &#8220;good girl gone bad&#8221; vibe. Men love them and they have the power of sexing-up anything you are wearing. Brian Atwood is responsible for this two-toned beauties.</li>
<li>Minimal culotte: With a sweatshirt, with a shirt and a blazer, with a tee, with a leather top, possibilities are endless. This pair is from Zara and is already a blogger favorite.</li>
<li>The detailed button-down: Leave your white shirt for work or an off-duty day. When going out, printed, embroidered or embellished blouses are the way to go. Feeling a little edgy? Match them to crazy prints and killer heels. This beauty is from Marni.</li>
<li>The black envelope: If you don&#8217;t have one already, start saving up! Black envelope clutches are perfect for when having to make a day outfit a little dressier for the night. Marni also made this black number.</li>
<li>The evening slipper: How many times have you wanted to ditch the heels for a night but you don&#8217;t have another option that goes with your evening ensemble. A pair of embroidered slippers or leopard ones (Charlotte Olympia&#8217;s kittens are a dreamboat) will save your life and your outfit!</li>
<li>The monochromatic trousers: Black and white is a classic that never goes out of style. This season, with the Beetlejuice stripes everywhere, options are endless. You can go for the whole Balmain style striped jeans or off-white trousers with black details.</li>
<li>The new LBD: Forget about your tailored, simple frock. Go for a detailed one: textures, lace, ruffles, leather, your choice. Victoria Beckham is a master when it comes to reworking the famous LBD.</li>
<li>The double-breasted waistcoat: Forget about the black blazer, each time you want to add a tailored piece to you ensemble, go for the waistcoat. Oh yeah, the vest is the new blazer. Waistcoat, Zara.</li>
<li>Statement skirt: I like them flouncy, but you can go pencil, a-line or bodycon. Just pick a print that&#8217;s bold, but not flashy enough. Remember, basics are meant to go with everything. Skirt, Zara</li>
<li>Naked black heels: There&#8217;s nothing sexier than pedicured feet (please, when wearing this, a pedicure, moisturizer and a good scrub is mandatory) in a pair of barely there heels. Have always a black pair with you, it will come in handy when you least expect it! Heels, Zara</li>
<li>The evening bomber: Need to cover up for a windy Spring night? Leave your biker at home and switch to an evening bomber. Don&#8217;t think varsity, you can now find them in silk, lace, leather, even beautiful prints. This baby is from DKNY.</li>
</ol>
<p><a href="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/off-duty.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4694" alt="OFF DUTY" src="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/off-duty.png?w=500&#038;h=838" width="500" height="838" /></a></p>
<p>Dressing up for a casual day can be more difficult than it seems, save yourself the trouble and check this list. You should (ok, if you want to) have all this items inside your closet at all times, clean, ironed and ready to wear. You never know when you&#8217;ll need them!</p>
<ol>
<li>The army tee: Even if you are not keen on camo, this baby with a pair of cut-offs, some skinny jeans or even a leather skirt can be a total life saver. Tee, Current Elliot</li>
<li>Casual ruffles: This is a boho chic skirt, but you can give it the twist you want with the right choice of top. A long sweater with some boots for a more relaxed and comfy style. A tee and some sneakers or a leather jacket for some edge?</li>
<li>The denim shirt: Always a basic, always comes in handy and with the denim trend this season, even more so. This beauty is from Dsquared.</li>
<li>The cool aviators: I&#8217;ve always been a Ray Ban kind of gal, but with all the designers embracing this shape, possibilities are endless. For a touch of glamour, go for gold frames.</li>
<li>White and distressed: Blue jeans are not as exciting as white ones. Add some rough patches and a great fit, you&#8217;ve got a winning combo. You can wear them at night with a cool top, for the day with a tee and a bomber.</li>
<li>The off-duty tunic: Days where you don&#8217;t want to think and pair garments happen to all of us. That&#8217;s when the off duty tunic comes in: throw a pair of flat gladiators, a messenger bag and a denim jacket and you are good to go! Tunic, Zara</li>
<li>The gray pullover: Sweatshirts have take over the word thanks to the genius Nicolas Ghesquiere and a gray one is the one that has proved more resourceful.</li>
<li>The beaded jacket: You might think of this baby as more of an evening garment, but trust me, a white tank and some distressed skinnies with some barely there flats is pure bliss. You&#8217;ll be comfy, you&#8217;ll be well dressed and you&#8217;ll survive the heat.</li>
<li>The Becketts: They are the originals, and trust me, they are worth the splurge. Isabel Marant is to blame for this babies and they are not going anywhere anytime soon. If you wanna save up, look for an alternative, not a clone. Adidas high-tops are to die for and affordable.<a href="http://www.mytheresa.com/en-it/honey-tennis-leather-wedge-sneakers-208192.html" target="_blank"> CLICK HERE</a> to take a look.</li>
<li>Camel lace-ups: Sexy, off-duty or on duty depending what you pair them with, perfect for Spring and Summer. With jeans, with a boho dress, with shorts, with everything! Really, go, buy them, NOW! This wonders are from Rebecca Minkoff.</li>
</ol>
<p>There you go, more staples for your Spring closet! One more to go and we will move on to how to wear them!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Have a beautiful weekend,</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Sweet kisses&#8230;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/spring-96.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4681" alt="spring 96" src="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/spring-96.png?w=500&#038;h=641" width="500" height="641" /></a></p>
<p>Spring has definitely Sprung! Trees are growing their leaves, flowers are blooming, my coats and boots are stored in boxes and my feet are pedicure ready for sandals and barely there heels. Prior to Sweet n&#8217;raw&#8217;s Fashion Week special, we began covering this season&#8217;s strongest trends: Emerald, the Beetlejuice stripes, the palate cleansers, the floral prints and more. But there&#8217;s one thing about trends, no everyone likes to follow them and they don&#8217;t suit everyone who attempts to wear them. That&#8217;s why I have made my grocery list (Ok, ok! Shopping list&#8230; if only grocery shopping was that fun), packed with all the items that one must own this Spring and Summer and classified into colors, patterns and prints and even occasions. Over the next few days, I will be showing you two parts of the list in one post (I don&#8217;t want to bore the socks out of you with endless images and texts that resemble a puberty diary) and then we will be moving on to another section: How to wear our recently purchased &#8220;groceries&#8221;. So get your note pad and star scribbling, and then the fun part, start crossing out the items you already have or have just bought! Ready?</p>
<p><a href="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/bolder.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4683" alt="bolder" src="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/bolder.png?w=500&#038;h=838" width="500" height="838" /></a></p>
<p>Prints and patterns are the best way to give that basic pair of pants the ultimate twist or to spice up an entire ensemble. This Spring, they are getting bolder and more fun than ever. Here&#8217;s the items you simply must have in your closet:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>The statement wedges</strong>: Whether you go for patterns, graphic or fabric prints, a flashy wedge sandal is a must this Spring. Charlotte Olympia and Zara have a great selection, but this Sergio Rossi pair took my breath away.</li>
<li><strong>Volume + stripes: </strong>Skirts with some structure always come in handy when creating playful looks, add some stripes (one of the biggest trends this season) and you have a winner. Skirt is from MSGM.</li>
<li><strong>Peplum with a twist:</strong> Last Fall, the peplum was everywhere! This Spring, it stuck around but with a new twist: colorful printed and textured. This fierce little number is from Preen.</li>
<li><strong>Tribal clutch: </strong>We all know and probably own tribal skirts and mini shorts, but how about some tribal arm candy? Zara has a bunch of options, including the one in the picture.</li>
<li><strong>Bold and flat:</strong> Long, pointy and flat is the new ballerina. Don&#8217;t discard them until you try them. This printed pair is from Zara.</li>
<li><strong>Head-turning trainers:</strong> Isabel Marant set them loose and we have loved and worshipped high-tops ever since then. Leave it to Givenchy&#8217;s Riccardo Tisci to put some silk and prints into the already lovely equation.</li>
<li><strong>Wild jacquard:</strong> I have to blame Jenna Lyons for my jacquard pants obsession and thank the rest of the designers who followed. This Spring is not only about printed pants, it&#8217;s also about the texture. Pants, Kenzo.</li>
<li><strong>Show-stopping shift:</strong> With the digital print revolution, you don&#8217;t need to spend $3,000 on a Mary Katrantzou or Peter Pilotto (pictured) dress. A shift with a bold pattern is a life savior when the heat is unbearable: you&#8217;ll look cute and put together, but you&#8217;ll feel comfy and fresh.</li>
<li><strong>Pattern knits:</strong> Fall gave us graphic jumpers, Spring is giving us patterned ones. Ideal for when creating texture and print mash-ups. Jonathan Saunders (pictured) has a great selection.</li>
<li><strong>Shorty and spotty:</strong> A major staple and one that I can guarantee you&#8217;ll use over and over are a pair of leopard shorts.</li>
<li><strong>Red bright lips:</strong> It&#8217;s all about a bright, almost orange pucker this Spring.</li>
<li><strong>Colorful crochet:</strong> Bold colors and Missoni? What&#8217;s not to love?</li>
</ol>
<p><a href="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/love-notes.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4686" alt="love notes" src="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/love-notes.png?w=500&#038;h=838" width="500" height="838" /></a>Romantic pieces are not only pretty but also useful. You can get playful with them, pair them up with unexpected pieces: a biker jacket perhaps, or some hardcore boots on a lacey dress. You can put together a girly and ladylike ensemble. This season you will need the following:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Pastel wedges:</strong> Pink, powder blue, minty or lavender, you choose! Stella McCartney is responsible for this darling babies.</li>
<li><strong>Retro sunnies:</strong> Think ladies of Mad Men, maybe Jackie O if she is more your style. Stella is also responsible for this pair.</li>
<li><strong>Firty skirt:</strong> flouncy with volume and in a pretty color and fabric. It&#8217;s not only for dressing up but can also be worn off-duty with a sheer tank or a tee. This pink number is from Miu Miu.</li>
<li><strong>Ruffle top:</strong> Chloe did ruffles, so did Gucci and Balenciaga. And since the white Chloe shift is almost unreachable, a romantic ruffled blouse is the perfect substitute. Blouse, Chloe</li>
<li><strong>Vivid bikini:</strong> Zimmermann has the best shapes when it comes to swimwear, but also the best prints. They make the most vivid and romantic, almost retro floral prints and you, my friend, need to own one of their bikinis.</li>
<li><strong>Princess flats:</strong> I assume you already have your mirrored heels, but you definitely need your glittery and sparkly pair of flats. Perfect fo when you want to add a touch of bling to an off-duty look or when you want to ditch the heels for an evening and still look picture perfect.</li>
<li><strong>Floral pants:</strong> Choose your style: harem, tapered, skinny, capri or wide. This come from the extraordinary mind of J. Crew&#8217;s Jenna Lyons.</li>
<li><strong>Creamy &amp; lacy:</strong> A dress, no matter the length or shape, no matter the sleeves or the neckline, in creamy lace will always come in handy when it comes to sunny weather. This piece of art is from Jesus del Pozo.</li>
<li><strong>The pretty clutch:</strong> Pretty colors and heavy embellishment make this kind of bag the perfect companion for an important event or a fancy dinner. Purse, Lanvin</li>
<li><strong>Cutie pie jumper:</strong> Last Fall, Graphic knits were all about mad dogs, growling tigers, fierce eagles. This Spring is all about deers, pretty birds, cute cats and darling doggies.</li>
<li><strong>Floral shorts:</strong> I don&#8217;t need to say anything more, you should know by now that this are a must. Peter Som makes this pink pair.</li>
<li><strong>Afternoon tea heels:</strong> I have named them that way for a reason: Think about the kind of shoes you would wear if invited to an afternoon tea party in a garden. Ankle straps, printed fabric, girly details. You can find this pair on Zara.</li>
</ol>
<p>There you go, from the bold to the lovely. Are this items already inside your closet? If not, start looking! On tomorrow&#8217;s post I will give you the on duty and off-duty items, don&#8217;t miss it!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Sweet kisses&#8230;</p>

<p>My sweet readers, I&#8217;m finally back! Before you start growling at me and complaining (and you are completely entitled to it after my two week absence), allow me to explain myself. After a four year and a half stay in my beloved Milano, I decided to move back to my also beloved Mexico City. After finishing my studies and pondering about my future, I made the toughest decision of my life: leave Milano and move back home. The packing process was a complete bitch (try fitting almost 5 years of your life into boxes), the complicated wave of emotions and feelings was worse than that packing process bitch but in the end, it&#8217;s all part of a plan, God&#8217;s plan and mine.</p>
<p>Now I am back in the mothership, ready to start new projects and the next chapter of my life. So expect the unexpected because many new things are coming!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">To my beautiful Milano, you gave me so much and it&#8217;s not the last you&#8217;ll see of me. A presto, bella!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">From Mexico City, sweet kisses&#8230;</p>
<p>PS: I have not been slacking off, I already have lined up a bunch of posts to make it up to you!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/make-a-wish.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4648" alt="make a wish" src="http://sweetnrawme.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/make-a-wish.png?w=500&#038;h=468" width="500" height="468" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s that day of the year again, the day where I age and everyone congratulates me for it. The Peter Pan in me doesn&#8217;t like it and apparently, neither does the weather: It&#8217;s pouring outside and it&#8217;s really, really cold on what should&#8217;ve been a beautiful Spring day. But me, I have learned to love it. Hold on, I love my birthday, the aging part not so much. I know I&#8217;ll age someday and I&#8217;ll do it gracefully&#8230; with botox and fillers on my side.</p>
<p>This past year I have made mistakes, I have lived, I have loved and will keep on loving, I&#8217;ve had rough patches, I&#8217;ve had great days, I&#8217;ve found myself and my true calling and even though it wasn&#8217;t a stellar year, I&#8217;ve learned, I&#8217;ve learned a lot. I start this new one with a smile on my face, a glass of wine (or several bottles), an obscene pasta bowl and a big-ass slice of cake, with a blank and shiny page in the book of my life. Today I start a new chapter, a beautiful one.</p>
<p>So raise your glasses with me (imagine one if don&#8217;t have one) and let&#8217;s toast, to birthdays and new beginnings. To family and love. Don&#8217;t worry forehead, we won&#8217;t be toasting to botox and fillers just yet!</p>
<p>And to my mommy, if you are reading this, here&#8217;s to you, my rock and the one beautiful thing that has kept me afloat.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Happy birthday and sweet kisses to me!</p>

<p>Remember that SATC episode called &#8220;A woman&#8217;s right to shoes&#8221;? The one where Carrie&#8217;s Manolos get stolen at a friend&#8217;s party and she refuses to pay for them? I was watching (again) that episode last night and with my b-day coming up in two days, I had one thought: brides-to-be and pregnant ladies get to register and have the presents they really want or need. What do I, an unmarried gal with no kids (and no desire for them), get? I get Christmas and one birthday a year (but they do too) and I should be able to register for the gifts I do desire. That&#8217;s why, prior to my twenty something birthday, I made my list. I know that that list will probably be ignored by my dearly beloved, especially the $1,400 Versace Gladiator boots (thanks to Lena Perminova, I dream of them every single night). So if your birthday is near, make your list and take a look at mine. You might get inspired!</p>

<ol>
<li><strong>Faith Connexion sweatshirt with leather inserts </strong>My love for sweatshirts just keeps on growing. Sweatshirt+mint+leather? Sign me in!</li>
<li><strong>Urban Decay&#8217;s NAKED palette </strong>This should be a part of every girl&#8217;s makeup bag. I still don&#8217;t have mine and I&#8217;d really like to own it now!</li>
<li><strong>Zara biker blazer </strong>If a biker and a blazer had a child, this would be it. Plus, it&#8217;s a great staple for those Spring windy nights.</li>
<li><strong>Versace caged boots </strong>Just look at them, fall in love&#8230;</li>
<li><strong>Victoria&#8217;s Secret TEASE perfume</strong> I don&#8217;t care about the scent, the bottle is so darn pretty that I need it on my dresser.</li>
<li><strong>Zara lace flats </strong>This season is all about dressy flat shoes. This are the perfect alternative when ditching heels.</li>
<li><strong>J. Crew Edie purse</strong> The color, the shape, the retro feel, the price&#8230; It&#8217;s perfect!</li>
<li><strong>Grace, A Memoir</strong> I&#8217;ve been wanting to get my hand on Grace Coddington&#8217;s memoir for so long. You can help me, it&#8217;s just one Amazon click away.</li>
<li>T<strong>om Ford Santal Blush scent</strong> Tom Ford beauty, need I say more?</li>
<li><strong>Sephora by OPI Spring collection</strong> Creamy, pretty and lovely, ideal for Spring</li>
<li><strong>Zara mirror heels</strong> I&#8217;m obsessed with metallic footwear this season.</li>
<li><strong>Eberjey pajama set </strong>My mom loves to gift pajamas, they always come in handy. This set looks comfy and pretty at the same time (I tend to do the hobo sleepwear thing, it&#8217;s not nice).</li>
<li><strong>Zimmermann bikini</strong> Zimmermann has to be the brand with the loveliest prints and shapes right now. Every single piece of their collections is always covetable. But this number, this number hits just too close to my style.</li>
<li><strong>Layout markers</strong> As an illustrator, I do need to complete my marker collection. And as a shoe junkie, I have to admit, I like markers better than shoes.</li>
<li><strong>Stella McCartney sunnies</strong> I&#8217;ve always been a Ray Ban Aviators girl, but changes are always good.</li>
<li><strong>Zara mirror sandals </strong>Minimal and perfect for the season, very Alexander Wang</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align:center;">What&#8217;s on your b-day list?</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Sweet kisses&#8230;</p>
