Happy Friday everyone!  I'm so thrilled to introduce you to Elizabeth (or Lizzie as I call her) Pontarelli. :) 

We used to work together a few years ago, and have remained friends since.  She has this infectious laugh, and you can't help but adore her. 

A couple of weeks before Christmas I invaded her condo and took a ton of pictures (several of which I'm sharing with you here) and we did a little interview...

Age:
31

Profession:
Bridal Director at Beauty on Call

I love....:
Vogue magazine, sour patch kids, paper stores and wallpaper, long cashmere sweaters, weddings, Nars cosmetics, luxury hotels, handwriting, and being poolside.

Most interesting place you've traveled to:
Snorkeling in underground caves in the Riviera Maya with my husband.

Biggest style influences:
Olivia Palermo, Mila Kunis, Rachel Bilson, Camilla Belle, Blake Lively

How would you describe your style:
Classic with a flair!

You're expecting your 1st baby, describe what your style will be like during your pregnancy:
Cozy chic - leggings with long sweaters and great accessories....big earrings, great scarves, cocktail rings, large bags, and riding boots.

Funniest thing that's happened to you in the past 6 months:
Ice skating with about 20 of my friends was pretty entertaining.....although, I haven't been drinking, so things have not been as comical these days!
thanks Lizzie!  I had a fun time hanging out!

fashionable friend friday


Welcome to the 1st installment of 'fashionable friend' Friday!
My first guest is my good friend Lynn.  She's quite the little fashionista, and loves to shop, so she was an easy pick!

A few weeks back I met her at her place, and she let me take pictures of some of her favorite things..which was really fun.  We then headed over to Cantina Laredo for dinner....and it was delicioso!  The space is very cool, and we hands down had the most attentive waiter ever.....I'm talking a ridiculous amount of trips to see how we were doing.  ;)

While we dined on our fabulous food, I did a little interview with Lynn.

and earring justice..they are gorgeous!)
