I haven't done this in a while, a post about the girl behind Fashion Chalet;
me. In a semi-list format I shall reveal some more... I can't wake up without putting my contacts in and warming an oversize mug of mocha coffee, I enjoy sipping it while catching repeats of
It's On With Alexa Chung and
Keeping Up With the Kardashians; or anything else equally salacious and guilt-inducing. I used to collect stamps as a kid and then started collecting friendship bracelets, now I collect shoes. When I can't fall asleep, I like to dream about winning the lottery and what I would do with it. I also like to daydream about my favorite celebrity or fashion icon letting me inside her closet to pick whatever pleases my senses. I think window shopping is best during the Holidays; as the scent of cinnamon from Starbucks coffee wafts by, familar tunes caress my ears and a comfy scarf is mandatory. Before bed, I brush my teeth, read a good book or flip through a magazine while playing Bejeweled to a Genius mix on my iPod touch.

You've got some killer stems, they're you're best accessory ;)

Love the perfect simplicity of this look! And I REALLLLLLY love that bag :)
LOL, I used to collect stamps too! A few years ago at work we had our 150th anniversary and they gave collector stamps to all the employees - I felt like a little girl again :) And definitely agree about window shopping in the Holidays - it feel different - magical. xx
great outfit, as always ! I love your shoes and your clutch is just perfection ! I'd die for the same !!
aaah your hair is sooo long! love what you did to the shirt! :)

fashionbyhe.blogspot.com
wow. that tee, shorts and heels are perfect :)
Love this outfit, especially that Elizabeth & James top. You have amazing legs!
Fabulous photos! I can't believe how long your hair is!
It's always nice to know more about the person behind the blog...and I totally agree, shopping during the holidays (if you can brave the crowds) is the best. Celeb closet you'd like to raid?
(I think I'd go for Mary-Kate Olson, though I'm embarrassed to admit it.;-)

This is beautiful- your shoes are fabulous, and the top accents your back so well. Your legs look like the go on for miles!
ive been wondering- who takes your pictures?? they are always so pretty!
this is so simple and chic- very nice!
Thanks for letting us know the girl behind Fashion Chalet! The facts are all very engaging and enjoyable to read. I also dream about the fashion icon thing and wonder what it would be like to be inside their closet! I agree with Starbucks in the Winter season and Keeping Up With the Kardashians! Love the Chinese Laundry shoes..I actually was going to purchase them, but sadly, my credit card need a break! The back zipper on those shoes are fab. Love the relaxed shorts and the loose Elizabeth and James top.
xoxo,
Victoria

The stamp collecting bit is too cute (: Love the little pops of color in this outfit, bag, earrings, beautiful.
this is such a lovely post, it's always fun getting to know a bit more about your favorite bloggers. I too love window shopping and often find myself day-dreaming about trips I wish to take, clothes I wish to own ^^
Shorts are one of my favorite pieces of clothing and that slouchy tee and perfect wooden heels peppered yours up in a quite fresh summery way, you look adorable

I think this is my favorite look of all; I love your hair and I love all the clothes, the over-sized top and the bag! Even love the colour of the nail polish.;)) There is something fresh and sporty over it, but sophisticated as well, due to the elegance of the shoes.:))

My Blog Readers are THE BEST :)
♥ lots and lots of X's and O's to you!!
What Was I Thinking? Cutest compliment ever ;) lol, thankssss!
Ela, Petra It is so magical. I also enjoy the scent of warm coffee mingling with a just-out-of-the-oven-and-sticky Cinnamon bun! ;)
bisou-joue Thank you :) the clutch is from the Bare Accessories (http://www.shopbareaccessories.com/) Shop
Style & Beyond, Fashion By He, and Jojo Thank you :) I really wanted to form some kind of "bandeau" around the waist by gathering it all in back, but also wanted to incorporate an off-shoulder look to the top.
M, and Ale Mtv.com occasionally airs clips from time to time, of the show. I usually catch them in "encore" but today I saw it live with Kim Kardashian, who unfortunately wouldn't spill on her split.. :( Alexa looked adorable as usual. :)
myvogue Aww. Last week was Sunny, this week is nothing but a nasty downpour of rainy days :(
Careista Me too <3
NylonAndCake Great, isn't tumblr fun? :)
Meli22 Thanks, dear, that was sooo flattering! ♥
Victoria, and Dream Sequins It's fun when I can let myself write about what first pops into mind like that :) thank you for the sweet comments!!
Val Thank you =)
Truth be told- I swear by Pantene Pro V, Garnier Fructis (mainly for conditioners) and John Frieda; that and drinking plenty of water and noshing on fresh fruits and vegetables for snacks.
Kb You too? :)
Lainey Yes, it's OPI but superrr old lol (not too sure of the name) I mixed it with a sheer/clear topcoat for shine. Thank you!
Violet I love them tooo much to do that ha ha!! But maybe..? ;)
Tessie The Summer Heat Wave that is Miami right now does pose quite the challenge in dressing, so many thanks in realizing what we Floridians must deal with on a day to day basis! ;)
Gant Fan Thanks :) I like their "Tribal" feel.
The Voguette Fruit + Water seems to be the trick ;) plus in the Summer it tends to grow a lot faster. <3
Hi Erika!!
You look amazing in such a simple outfit!!! This is so unfair!!! heehee... I love your heels!!! Your top is the cutest... you take effortless to a whole new level dearie!
I have a similar top like that which I havent worn since I bought it.. since I have no idea how to wear it (it would always fall off one shoulder) and now I'm inspired!! Will tag you once I post it!
OMG those shorts are PERFECT for summer! love them!!
Nice and your style is really cool!!!
absolutely amazing outfit.. its gorgeous...
love the shoes...saw some similar today but with a wedge, they were devine but i had to resist... i may go back tomo.
Just some stuff with some friends kinda sketchy but I'm OK now thanks :-) lovely way to wear the Elizabeth & James top I like it on you like that and of course the hair always perfect.

just want to say that i love your long hair! i cant ever grow my hair so i love long hair when i see it on other girls.
stay gorgeous!
I love that outfit, and those heels are glorious
Wow I have missed some FABULOUS outfits... how amazing do you look in that electric blue dress???? I love the earthy palette in this outfit with the pop of yellow. I collect shoes too, haha that's a good way of putting it. It's like collecting coins, stamps or figurines, just shoes instead! Those chinese laundry ones are so sexy... I LOVE. The perfect twist on a gladiator xoxo
gorgeous heels! love your shirt too...nice shooting location, really pretty! like your short little bio, nice to get to know you more, even though, strangely I already knew some of the that about you, from tags, I think...kinda weird (I feel sorta like a stalker now, tee hee)
xoxo,
Micaela

In love with the sorts.
I bought a similar pair of grey one last week.
And the shoes give the outfit that extra something.
great to hear you visit out blogs too.

I can't wake up without putting in my contacts either! If I wear my glasses for an entire day that day always feels like it hasn't started and its going in slow-motion. A lot of people tell me that they think its weird but I always feel like I'm half asleep and slightly squinting with my glasses on during the day!
I love this outfit the E&J top is fab and so are the heels! Are they comfortable despite being so tall? Can you move in them fairly easily?
xoxo
the bag is just fabulous!
I love the casually sexy vibe of this outfit! I wish I could look this good in shorts!
