Moon River







How was your lovely Valentine's Day Spent? I had a romantic Italian dinner out, Lobster Ravioli and all. The buttered Pumpernickel rolls were superb as was the apple pie a la mode for dessert (topped with a pineapple chutney sauce.)

I thought it best to pop in my Anniversary diamond earrings, don red lipstick and a try my hand at a fancy up 'do (almost Audrey in Breakfast at Tiffany's.) The song playing, "Moon River" was what we requested of the live band to play during dinner (a la Piano Jazz.) ♥

Top: Basics. Bandage Skirt: American Apparel. Clutch: Vintage. Wedges: Nine West.

My shoes are from Nine West which I impulsively bought a few years ago, when Nicole Richie was seen in nothing but the originals (circa 2006) by Christian Louboutin.

You look stunning here! I wore more or less the same thing on VD! A highwaisted black mini skirt, a white top and red lipstick but I paired it with a gray clutch and black booties!
Have a nice week!

Labyrinth said...

longer than a mile should be the lyrics to this song, those legsssss

The Socialite said...

love the outfit! It's simple yet dashing. & Lobster ravioli? yummmmmm!

adictazapatos said...

I like your skirt, you look perfect.
Your shoes are very similar to Nicole´s

Anna-Maria said...

Sounds like you had a pretty romantic V-day. :) I want to purchase your amazingly long and toned legs as well!
On another note, Nicole's legs don't look that great at all (too skinny for my taste). The shoes are amazing though, on both of you..

Chelsea's Girl said...

Adorable outfit!

JGeb said...

WOW...You look incredible! I love the way you did your hair and your make-up is seriously beautiful!

Ursula said...

wow...here it's to much cold for this outfit!but in summer...maybe I try it! but...with a long skirt, because I don't have your legs! haha

xoxo!

Kalin said...

Look at your legs!! Sweet Jesus.

Stephanie said...

Ok first of all how have you been?!! It feels like forever!!!

I am honest to god in love with every aspect of this look!!!!! It's perfection! Can you send me the exact link of this skirt? I think I already have it but I want to double check!

Nice studs! Your hair looks amazing up and the red lipstick is perfection on brunettes! And the shoesssssssssss---> they look impossibly comfortable! I must find myself a pair for the summer! I'm also looking for suede purple or black pumps.

And I love this song!!! Big leaves Nyc and he and Carrie sing it among the moving boxes ;)

Natalí said...

I love your shoes and outfit! I think I will copy it even, hehehe. Hope u dont mind :D

Stephanie said...

Thanks so much for the link so promptly lovely! It's the same one. Well basically- I have the knee length one and a little while back I decided it was too long so I took scissors to it et voilà: a mini!

Thanks for your comments ;)

Ashford said...

omg hott!
I've been watching breakfast at tiffany's and thinking of trying an up-do too!

Bird* said...

hott.

Sol said...

Loved this outfit. Simplicity says a lot IMO, and this is def. the case. Red lips are a hard thing to pull off, and you certainly did!
I bought a similar pair of shoes last year with Nicole's Louboutins in mind too lol! Without noticing Nicole's picture at the bottom of the post, she was the first thing that came to mind when i saw this outfit :)

Sarita said...

envious yet drooling over this outfit and your "figurita" sexy hot

Stephanie said...

lol! I guess so- I just didn't see the point in buying the same skirt when I could just try and cut it and see if that would work. So far, so good. It's got a jagged edge, but sometimes you have to cut your losses. lol.

you said "eh"! So Canadian of you ;)
