Confetti & Champagne: Brooke du jour’s 1st Birthday

Shabby Chic Meets Country French Day 1: Runway to Reality How-to: Braided Crown Striking Emerald Party Perfect Girl in the Maroon Hat Glamour Girl Work It Shades of Grey (and Pink!) RTR: Look Luxe for Less Elephants and Tigers and Bears. Oh my! La Vie en Rose The Secret Garden Passion for Pink My ultimate girl crush Zooey Deschanel once said, “Style isn’t when you buy yourself the most expensive things. It’s being creative and able to put together what you’ve collected.” Since the very beginning of Brooke du jour, I’ve tried to communicate that. My style, of course, will…

We’ll Have Manhattan

Photos by my dad. (He says red lips are “too grown up” for me. He’ll probably still stand by that statement when I’m 35).  Outfit: Wildfox T-shirt, American Eagle jeans Accessories: Prada bag, Ray-Ban wayfarers Jewelry: Habit necklace, XIV Karats diamond stackables, Paliskates spike ring, La Suite 105 by Anne Sisteron love ring, Marina Pecoraro beaded bracelet, Forever21 spike bracelet, Henri Bendel python bracelet (similar) Wearing a Manhattan shirt in Los Angeles may be a little ironic, and I hate to be a traitor to my hometown, but I miss New York so much! I would do anything for one…

Delectable Dessert

Thank you Kendall Davis for taking these photos! (FYI: A mutual affection for Chinese takeout, celebrity knowledge and pink lipstick makes for a long-lasting friendship. Completely opposite taste in men also helps). Outfit: She Inside shirt, J.Crew skirt Accessories: J.Crew clutch (similar), J.Crew pumps (similar) Jewelry: Forever21 necklace, Kate Spade bangle (similar) Forget what I said in my last post about balance. This outfit looks like I raided Suri Cruise’s closet and I’m 100 percent OK with that. Don’t judge- Suri is the most stylish kid on the playground, and you know you’d smash your feet into her little kitten…

Photos by Kendall Davis (How convenient that my best friend also doubles as a photographer!) Outfit: Cotton Candy dress (similar), Ovi leather jacket (similar) Accessories: Tory Burch bag, Forever21 heels, Loft sunnies, Chanel nail polish and toe polish My style is unapologetically girly—the bigger the bow, the better. But as I get older, I’m starting to learn a thing or two about balance. Instead of accessorizing my lace, lilac dress with something sweet, I decided to edge things up with a leather jacket and seriously sexy, spiky heels. Speaking of, in all my years of smart shopping at Forever21, I’ve…

Home Sweet Home

Photos taken by my daddy (He was not pleased when I interrupted his very important golf match to take these). Outfit: Yumi Kim maxi dress Accessories: Madewell sunnies, Tory Burch purse (similar), LOFT sandals Jewelry: Vintage necklace, Forever21 bracelets I’m back from my little blogging hiatus! I don’t think I’ve ever gone two weeks without posting before (the break gave me serious anxiety!), but I was soaking up my last few weeks in NYC. Now that I’m home and the most crucial responsibility in my planner involves drinking sangria by the pool, I will have plenty of new posts coming…
