My favorite number is 7. So, today, I'm going to share 7 semi-rare facts about myself with you.
- I hate change, for me routine is a must, might make me boring, but I like things done in a certain way, every day. I hate to admit it, but whenever I do something impromptu, out of the norm, or simply put, spontaneously; I secretly like it.
- I always sleep on my right side.
- My magazine subscriptions always seem to run out just before my favorite: model, actress, or celebrity graces their cover.
- A day without my Mocha Café is a sad day indeed.
- I make lists for everything; what I need/want to buy, blogs to visit (all of yours) post it notes are my favorite creation. I also carry a composition notebook with me at all times for jotting down my ideas.
- I make muse board collages whenever I'm bored. Sometimes I dream of doing the same for a clothing company like Forever 21, American Apparel or Urban Outfitters in real life.
- I love to sing in private but in front of people I clam up.

Beautiful dress/top! I love the sequins. Wish it were warm enough in London for a day by the pool :)
I love this set of photos. You are so beautiful!
I had to do inspiration boards all the time in college. It's a very good outlet for collecting your thoughts, and recognizing a common theme that you have been thinking about. I need to start doing it again! Getting paid to do it wouldn't be so bad either ;)

That always happens to me with my magazine subscriptions as well-and it gets all screwed up for like two months and I never can decide if I should get the issues I might be missing just in case from the newstands.
This was the least coherent comment ever.
Love this post! I make lists for everything too :) This is such a lovely outfit - love the sequins!

Hello Erika!
Blue suits you so well! And I also love great pictures at the pool!
I love all here, you are great!
Kisses and hugs,
Kira
beautiful photos, and i love the top!
I also like number 7, it's a lucky one, no?
kisses
I'm an afraid-of-change person as well. It always takes me some time to get used to a new situation, but eventually I .. well, get used to it.
On your right side? That's interesting! I always sleep on my side too, I change them every now and then, but I prefer my left side. I just have to sleep on my side, even though I read you get wrinkles in your cleavage from that.
I love lists too, I make lists of everything, but mostly I make lists of songs. My favourite pastime.
Those pictures look great, by the way. I just love how the blue sequinned top and the green water play together. Who took the photos?
Gorgeous dress/top!
And I absolutely love your outfit of the previous post... wow, amaaazing!! =)
xx
I would kill someone for your hair.
kill.
Gorgeous top! It looks stunning on you. I think that might be my favorite shirt of yours. (Actually, I think I say this a lot, so I probably think all your shirts are my fave, haha).
Love the background too. Wish I could be at the pool right now!
really nice :D
i love blue!
xx
Obsessing over those sequins and that blue... on you! Have a wonderful week, darling!
I love waking up to so many wondrous comments like THESE :)

CHEERS to you in blue sequins by a dreamy pool. Next time showcase your 'suit? ;-)
THANKS guys!!!
YAY I'm not the only weirdo who hates change!!! and making psycho long lists ... LOL :)
The song is "Swimming in the Flood" by Passion Pit, glad you like.
My husband took these photos with his new Nikon D300.
And yes, I'll check my email now guys, thanks for the love, support and feedback.
CHEERS to a fresh and happy start to your week, dears!!!
xoxo
Jared says hello as well, and of course I had coffee on my birthday! It wouldn't be complete without a yummy mocha :]
Love the dress! It looks perfect for summer!
These shots are just amazing!
xx
Love the sequin top!! so cool!
http://fashionroadkill-halifax.blogspot.com
Really pretty and the images look Old how do you do that effect? Great hair damn it's long and luscious in that top pic.
I love your seven random facts I'm such a list person too..I have a diary where I write them all..i'm also big into collages..I make so many I have 3 or 4 special folders for them on my laptop! Your blue sequin dress is gorgeous by the way x
My shoes are from Zara!! =)
I(L)Zara Shoes btw..
love the first and last photo!
i completely agree with 1,2 and 5!!
:)
Gorgeous color! I make lists for EVERYTHING. And once things start to get crossed off I make new ones b/c I hate when it doesn't look neat.
What a great top!!! It's quite unique, and you look marvelous... as always. The color of the top really complements the water in the pool. Such a great photoshoot, kudos to your photographer.
Thanks for posting your 7 facts about yourself. Very enjoyable to read! I think that's awesome that you were able to turn the dress into a top (sewing skills, which I lack), and the sequins is really pretty against the pool background. For some reason, it reminds me of a mermaid, perhaps because it was shot near a pool? I love it!
xoxo,
Victoria
http://thestylistadiaries.blogspot.com
wow i love the outfit the amazing the top blue
I love mermaids, sequins and the color blue =) you guys make me so happy.
As for lists, JGeb, I re-write mine too, you don't even want to know how many times I re-write my Grocery lists (and in order; from row-to-row, one side of the store to the other lol)
I also feel less stressed out when I can put things into "list" format for some reason :) glad to see that others are doing this as well.
gorgeous top! your hair is amazing...and I thought mine was long...you have me beat ;)
Amazing blue color on that dress. And what awesome pictures you have. Getting out of an indoor pool is a great photo idea :]
i think your style is average and uninspiring.
& you should really consider doing something with that hair. the length makes your face look longer, and it's just overall very unflattering. i'd be so cute shoulder length & layered or something. or anything.
i see that top and all i want to do is chop it up and make it into some fantastic mermaid high-waist skirt thing. haha
and i love the idea of blue sequins by the water
I am obsessed with your sequence dress! Is that from this season? Or is it vintage?
xo,
Jessica
i adore ur sequin dress, it's very awesome!
Hmmm.. the shirt is too big.
Lovely top! Blue is an amazing color!it looks good on you!

your hair is amazing!

I love how you make this look so effortlessly chic! And that top... great for day AND night! :)

I LOVE IT !!!!!! Wonderful !
I often pursue change in big things but feel much more comfortable with routine when it comes to small things.
Hey Erika!
Recently I've been checking out your archives as I haven't visited your blog in a while. This one post really caught my eye and I wanted to relate it to my post about APC's bleached denim.
I would imagine that you own the rights to these photos and I wanted to ask for your permission to post a photo of you in a motel shirt and UO acid wash jeans as an attachment to the previous post on STELLASTEFF.
Sweety you look gorgeous!That sequin top is gorgeous as well!
i'd never seen this blog and it's fantastic :)
XX
THANKS :)
you guys are the best crowd EVER. love you!! :*
xoxo
Wow amazing dress!!!
you have such a beautiful long hair! i couldn`t stand mine for more than 6 months so i cut it and since then i keep it short:)
love the sequin top!
Gorgeous sequined dress! Looking at your lovely hair makes me wish my hair grows longer already! Those cage heels you wore below are so stunning and your oufit is perfect, perfect with it! xxooxoxxo
such pretty scenery. the outfit is perfect for pool lounging!
OMG YOU ARE IS SUPER LONG.
*jelaous*
all the love.

Oh, Erica, I love that top! It reminds me of a pair of legging I got years ago in NY - I think it was a designer sample sale a friend dragged me to - that exact blue, with gold dots. Makes one's legs look like a frog, but I love the colours. On you, as a floaty top, with the turquoise pool in the background, it's a whole different, beautiful thing. Is that your pool??
7 is my number in numerology. A Japanese illustrator who I worked with at my first job in NY - at Push Pin, a kind of legendary design studio from the 60s - told me all about 7s. I forget how he figured it out, but it's my favourite number, too, for the single digits. (23 is my favourtie double digit number).
It's funny: I've been seeing a lot of that blue lately. Here's one example I found in London:
http://streetstylelondon.blogspot.com/2009/08/colour-of-money.html
but frankly, I like yours better : )
you are adorable! my goodness.. girl crush :)
that sequin tunic is absolutely breathtaking! I love the colour, and I'm all about sequins right now. It looks beautiful on you! I admit though, I'm on my way to see if I can find it (thanks to your link!)
Wowwi wowwi!!! What beautiful pictures! Stunning<3 Love that colour!
<3 Tessi
wow that is actually scary - i'm a virgo too and can strongly relate to each point
especially the list thing, my flatemates think it's OCD...
i always lovelovelove your collages!
and i totally get the list thing, i have to keep pen and paper by my bed because i always remember things at the most akward hours!
Lola. :)
Oh my, what lovely sequins! The color is really sweet!
I'm in love with my routine too. Especially my morning routine, that always has to be as it always is or my day is not as great :P
The dress is lovely, a festive little frock. If I was remotely not as broke as I currently am, I would honestly stop by fashion chalet's shop and splurge. As of now, I'll have to conform to sale bins and mixing & matching. Well, you have a lovely little blog here. I have blog as well, although mine is very small indeed when compared to yours. Finally, you deserve all the recognition. (: great jobb!
Fab dress. And the pool creates a wonderful atmosphere. Have a good day, darling.
Hi! :D LOL! We're the same! i LOVE the number S E 7 E N! and i hate changes, hate the word 'adhoc' which eventually will lead to last minute changes and interruptions to the usual routine.. Cool & creative post. Enjoy it so much! You go girl!
LOVE IT!
CHICMUSE
