Mini Moments {+ Life Lately}


Coffee table book browsing in Soho.

It's been a work hard, play hard kinda week which in my opinion is always the best. On Tuesday night my girlfriends and I enjoyed cheese and wine (a little too much wine actually) over gossip. It really kicked the week off on a happy note and it's nights like those that really make New York feel like home. 

In other news a movie marathon will be happening this weekend. There are so many that I want to see and with the Golden Globes right around the corner I'm on a serious deadline to watch either Zero Dark Thirty or Les Misérables. Heck, let's be honest, I should be able to talk my guy into seeing both with me by Sunday night!


 Sweater from Collective Habit (use code: GIMME2013 for 30% off).  Paige Faux Leather Leggings.  
DVF Booties.  3.1 Phillip Lim Satchel.  Jennifer Fisher from BaubleBar and CC Skye Bracelets.


Helena and I at the Lazzarini art opening. 


A triceratops that looked better than it actually tasted.

As much as I enjoyed this fresh color palette I'm still very much craving jewel tones and darker winter hues. 


The Rag & Bone blazer I can't stop thinking about. So me right?

I saw the R & B dress that matches the blazer on their site the other day, and fell in love. I am very tempted to pull the trigger on it this weekend! Love the pattern.

J Ciriello said...

hello - fellow redhead here. that oxblood /. burgundy color looks so great on you with your fair skin and red hair. reminds me that back in the 90's i think the color was also "in" although I may have been less aware and i wore it all the time because i loved how it looked with my hair.

check out my blog when you have time

Not Going Out Like That

Alicia Lund said...

@Heather ~ aw yay, can't wait to see you girls... it's been too long! And that blue fur would look amazing against your blonde hair. And thank goodness the cookie made for a cute pic at least... right? LOL

Estefanía Ainoza said...

Oh so nice!!! I love it!!!!

Alicia Lund said...

@J Ciriello ~ thanks!! And i'm pretty sure burgundy (or oxblood) is popular every fall they just like to change the color (name) on us to keep us on our toes. ;)

Alicia Lund said...

Oh, this photos are communicating the real life. Very atmospheric impressions.

But the most impressing person on this pictures are you with your perfect outfit combination and where your red hair gives the ideal contrast.

Thank you for sharing this professional pictures.

Hot sauce, Alicia! Love it!

I also need to see both of those movies ASAP!

Caitlin Wilson said...

I commend your bravery in wearing a super dark lipstick! I'm very pale, so I'm afraid if I tried anything like that, I'd look like a Halloween experiment gone wrong. But it looks great on you!

Red Wine is the best company for gossip with friends or a romantic dinner, red wine and cheese is even better :)
We have amazing wines in Portugal,the ones from Alentejo region are my favorite, Quinta da Malhadinha is a good example ;)
You look lovely in burgundy.
Are you attending NYFW? I would LOVE to go there specially during Fashion Week but i guess on my hooneymon in June will be just fine:)))))
Enjoy your week
