I apologize for neglecting my blog lately!  With a full time job and trying to balance a social life I sometimes find it difficult to schedule time to write. I wanted to share a little glimpse into my life last month, taken using Instagram.  My obsession with it is becoming a full on addiction!  You can follow me @lovelaceluxe!

Zara never fails to disappoint. I pretty much want everything shown in their latest lookbook.

Stumbled across this vintage Kate Moss editorial from a 1992 issue of Glamour France. She was so young ! Love this.

How was everyone's weekend!? I spent the weekend belting karaoke songs with a few of my best friends, dined on amazing sushi at Bondst, and even took a ride to check out the orchid show at the Bronx Botanical Garden. The show is well worth a trip. As you take your first step into the solarium, it feels as if you entered a tropical paradise far away from the commotion of a bustling city. It really is hard to believe you are still in New York City. I highly recommend checking out the show to see some fascinating and beautiful flowers if you live in the area.
