Perfect Way to Store Your Jewelry

Stylist Mary Alice Stephenson's Jewelry dresser is siiiiiick.

Custom designed by the Closet Factory, the see through drawer fronts make storing and finding jewelry so much easier for someone with such an extensive collection.

Splitting It

(H&M Sweater, gifted The Stylists Own Maxi Skirt, Zara Heels)

I've had this skirt for quite some time but never got a chance to wear it until today. Perhaps I thought it was too sexy for me, or maybe it was the fact that I couldn't find the right pair of heels to go with this skirt. Whatever the reason was, I'm glad I waited because waiting made it that much more special to wear it.

(Mom's Cropped Trench Coat, Urban 1972 Lace Dress, Guiseppe Zanotti Heels)

Spent the day frilling around in this lace dress. I'm such a sucker for dresses with the skirt part that flares out. Probably because I don't like anything that's too body hugging.

A Little Muse

2012-01-26T23:05:00.000-08:00

a little muse is a diary of a Annemarie and her adorable daughter Tallulah Rose. In Annemarie's own words, "a little muse is her and all of my other passions-photography, film, fashion, music, interior design all brought together. A diary the two of us can look back at one day and treasure!"

This Weekend..

These images from Maison Scotch Soda Spring Ads are just how I want to spend this beautiful 80 degrees weather. Can't wait for the weekend so I can hit up the beach!

Beautiful light filled home belonging to Tabitha Simmons, a model turned shoe designer. I love the thinly framed structure of this town home and the greenery you see outside. Because of that I would have never guessed this was in Manhattan!

People often ask me what inspires me to dress the way I do. It varies by my mood and what I'm dressing for but today I was inspired by this editorial I posted a couple of days ago.

I'm digging the whole print on print dressing and being camouflaged by my surroundings.

(Target Sweater, Blank NYC Faux Leather Pants c/o Threadsence, Sam Edelman Spiked Sneakers-similar option, Alexander Wang Rocco Bag)

I love days where you have absolutely nothing to do, nowhere to go, and can sleep in and just lounge around. Sunday was that kind of day. No make-up, no fuss dressing and really minimal jewelry.

Charlotte Free by Elena Rendina for Wonderland November/December 2011

I'm loving the mix and match of prints and colors in this editorial. The styling and the backdrop go so well together and whoever picked Charlotte Free for this shoot was spot on. These images would make such great art.

The Glow

2012-01-20T02:43:00.000-08:00

Capturing stylish career moms and their children, The Glow let's us peek into their homes. It's kind a like The Selby and The Coveteur in the sense they capture people's homes, but instead of sharing their fashion finds, they share mommy advice. What I like most about these women is that they are still uber stylish despite the fact that they are busy moms. Definitely go take a peek!

smart.studio: My Favorite Spots in San Francisco Part 3

2012-01-19T00:22:00.000-08:00

Here's my last video I had filmed in San Francisco with smart.studio.

I totally meant 'literary' not 'literally'... How embarrassing!!

I'm not a fan of tight dresses and the only tight outfit I don't mind wearing is my wetsuit whenever I go surfing. However, the print and the color of this dress was too good to pass up so I toughened the look up with my good ol' military jacket.

This week was the busiest week I've had so far so I was unable to take daily outfit photos for my blog. Thankfully, I had my iPhone so I instagramed a few outfits and random things around my apartment! If you're on instagram, follow me at songofstyle!

Cool Boho

2012-01-13T04:42:00.000-08:00

Light, feminine, with a bohemian touch, this house is just so lovely and would make the perfect beach house. I'm really loving the balance between rustic and femininity and that view? When can I move in?

I hope you enjoyed seeing the first part of my San Francisco video last week that was filmed by smart.studio. The second part of the video is finally live and hope you guys enjoy seeing the albino alligator and my favorite bakery! Hope you don't get sick of hearing me because there is going to be one more video!

Wearing bracelets as anklets is so fun!

Flower Antlers

2012-01-10T00:15:00.000-08:00

These antlers with flowers are all photographed by Kari Herer. Funny thing is, despite being a strict pescetarian, I've been long collecting antlers and skulls ever since I was little (you can see a tiny glimpse of it in my SF apt) and I even have a huge love for taxidermy (those in SF, you must visit Paxton Gate!)

I'm happy I found these beautiful photographs as I can try something like this on some of my antlers (I already tried it on my steer head.)

Btw, did you know while horns are kept for life, antlers fall off each year and regrow bigger? So don't fret when you see a pair of antlers! ;)

2012-01-06T07:50:00.000-08:00

I just found a new site and I'm totally in love! Created by Pippa Lord, Photo Director at Elle, Sous Style features ridiculously beautiful people (just like Pippa herself) in their homes cooking or preparing a delicious meal. It's quite inspiring and makes me want to start cooking right now!

A few weeks ago I went back to the city where Song of Style started, San Francisco. A film crew from smart.studio (a video and blogger project from smart car) flew from Germany to tour this beautiful city and I took them to my favorite spots.

Hope you guys enjoy watching the video and Thank You to Amadeus, Irina, Harald, Markus and Tanja, Debbie and Bundy for having me!

P.S. I am a much better dancer than that. seriously. I'll prove it next time ;)

I stopped by Mr. Brainwash's art show on Monday and had so much fun going through the huge warehouse on La Brea that I've always thought was abandoned. Regardless of the controversy over him (have you seen the Banksy film?), I was very inspired by all the art work inside especially the broken record art. For those who like street art or art in general, you should check out my boyfriend's instagram @wesmasonphoto! (there are a few unapproved photos of me... lol)

Hope you guys are having a lovely week and enjoying 2012 so far!

Hope you spent the first day of 2012 well. I spent mine with Wesley Mason biking from Venice Beach to Santa Monica and like always, I couldn' stop smiling. For some reason, biking puts me in such a happy mood especially when the weather is super gorgeous.

Happy first day of 2012!

The only reason I wanted an iPhone so bad was to use instagram. So when I finally got my own iPhone for my birthday from Wesley Mason, I've been quite obsessively documenting my daily life. If you're on instagram, follow me @songofstyle!

Hope you all have the best year ever filled with love and happiness!

Thank you all so much for that and hope you all have a fabulous New Year! I can't wait to share another journey with you guys!

Ashley Stark's Apartment. The Old in the New

2011-12-27T06:00:00.000-08:00

I love it when people reuse their old furniture into their new homes and find a new place for them. The pictures above are of Ashley Stark's new Manhattan high rise featured in Elle Decor. The first picture is my absolute favorite featuring my dream chandelier by Jean de Merry.

Below are of her old apartment featured in the now deceased Domino Magazine. Can you spot which furniture she reused?

Last Minute Holiday Gift to the Most Stylish Man + Giveaway

2011-12-22T09:57:00.000-08:00

(Rayban Aviators, Iceberg Jacket, Diesel T-shirt, Seven Jeans, Gucci Shoes)

I always have a hard time buying my dad a gift especially when it comes to clothes because he's so tall (6'4") and super picky. As you can see, my dad isn't just an ordinary dad. He's a super stylish one who lives in t-shirts and jeans (last outfit is his uniform). Since he hardly ever wears sweaters, I thought it'd be nice to get him a stylish v-neck sweater and I found mine at TJ Maxx for half its original price. Best of all? My dad liked it so much and agreed to pose for an outfit post!

Now, for the giveaway: TJ Maxx/Marshalls and I are giving away two $50 gift cards. Tweet at us three (twitter.com/aimeesong, twitter.com/marshalls, twitter.com/tjmaxx) your TJ Maxx/Marshalls holiday gifts that was under $50 and the best gifts will win!

Spanish Charm

2011-12-21T15:48:00.000-08:00

I'm so in love with this beautiful Spanish style home. It reminds me of this home I used to live in Glendale for a brief time with all the Spanish influences. I love how lived in this home looks and all the rustic architectural details are driving me nuts.. such as the stone wall, wooden beams, and the porous fireplace (I'm assuming it's concrete.)

I'm really not a fan of those black leather sofas but in this home, it works so well.

Now, let's talk about the blue and white chevron tiles in the kitchen with the army of Spanish men playing instruments. Wouldn't this make cooking that much more enjoyable? I might actually stay in the kitchen and cook rather than burning food!

Holiday Decor Guide, Part Two: Tabletop

2011-12-20T05:00:00.000-08:00

This is my first official holiday dinner table set up and although I'm not really the hosting dinner parties type (I'm more of the eating type) this was fun to do. Like my first Holiday Decor Guide (seen here) I found most of my tabletop items at TJ Maxx/Marshalls. My favorite finds were definitely the blue ikat inspired plates and the candles that aren't just pretty to look at but also smell so good.

If you've been following me on twitter or instagram, you probably know that I spent my birthday in Hawaii last weekend. Wesley Mason surprised me with this trip and I was in paradise. Surfing, eating, and just sitting outside looking at the waves.. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday present!

Holiday Decor Guide, Part One: My Room

2011-12-16T09:11:00.000-08:00

Ok, I admit I'm a bit late on decorating for the holidays. Traveling and working 12 hours a day has left me too exhausted and overwhelmed to decorate my own home. Thankfully to my rescue, T.J. Maxx/Marshalls had everything I needed to put me in the Holiday spirit. On one trip, I filled up my entire cart and was pleasantly shocked to hear my total was less than half of what I was expecting to pay.

Here pictured are just a portion of what I walked out from T.J. Maxx/Marshalls. For those who haven't decorated for the holidays and are in need of an inspiration, hope this post helped you and let me know what holiday objects you've scored from T.J. Maxx/Marshalls!

It was a Mad Tea Party

2011-12-15T12:50:00.000-08:00

Kenzie, a fellow LA blogger showed up with the best Mad Tea Party outfit! I'm inspired to wear my sequin dress with a button up like her.

There was a photo booth where you could instantly upload the photos to your twitter/facebook so like bloggers, we took tons of pictures.

My really good friends Patrick and Rod (my fashion week parter in crime) showed up. Tosha who is also an LA blogger came out and left with a few pairs of Steve Maddens.

This pretty girl said her best friend introduced her to my blog and despite her finals, came out to support me! So sweet!

The Vickoree pumps look great in black too!

Bethany brought her best friend, cute dancer boyfriend and the prettiest little girl! They were all so sweet and pretty (yes, I called a man pretty. He really was!)

My one and only sincerely Julie, Geri (how rad are those sunnies with her bright red lips?), and Sohpie

Look who showed up to my party? All the girls were screaming...

with Sheryl whom I met at an event awhile back and became really good friends.

Last but not least, my favorite boys on earth. Sorry ladies, the left two are taken by Julie and I but the right two are still single and ready to mingle!

Thank you everyone for coming out and making this night so special and fun! I'm so sorry if I didn't get a chance to say hi to some of you, but I hope you all enjoyed the party and fell in love with all the amazing shoes at Steve Madden. Btw, for those who asked if my Victoree pumps are comfortable, the answer is YES! I wore these for over 5 hours walking around and did not fall or trip once!

An Organic Christmas

Although I'm a lover of sparkly and colorful things, something about the all natural and earthy Christmas decor is so soothing and cozy.

As soon as I'm back home, I'll be on a hunt for a nice Christmas tree.

Aimee in Steve's Wonderland

2011-12-09T22:16:00.000-08:00

(C. Wonder Cardigan, B.B. Dakota Dress, Steve Madden Grannie Boots)

My last outfit (first outfit here & second outfit here) for Steve Bring's It campaign is all about being dressy yet still practical for hosting a tea party. I'm wearing the perfect grannie boots that aren't so witchy but quite adorable. I love the shade of these boots and the ashy look of it gives it that extra patina.

For those who are thinking of hosting a party, here are my 5 party tips that I go by,

1. Variety of food. Even if it's a small tea party, cupcakes and cookies might be enough but there should still be some options as some of your guests might be vegan, vegetarian or lactose intolerant.

2. Seating. Encourage your guests to talk to strangers. Instead of seating people who already know each other together, try pairing guests who share similar interests next to each other. Placing place cards are also a great idea and lets guests know that you care.

3. Lighting. Lighting matters whether the tea party is held indoors or outdoors. My favorite type of lighting is candlelight. Everyone looks better with candlelight.

4. Self Service. Set up a self service bar so that guests don't have to wait for their drinks.

5. Games. Fun trivia questions related to your party theme, in this case Alice in Wonderland, can be a great way to entertain guests.

Gramercy Park Townhouse

2011-12-08T06:47:00.000-08:00

My absolutely favorite section of New York Social Diary is their House section where they feature fabulous and eclectic homes of different New Yorkers. This beautiful townhouse belongs to Sarah Story. Her and her husband bought up several apartments within the house and combined some of them so it's quite interesting to see how one space transitions onto another!

My Love for Steve Madden

2011-12-07T05:42:00.000-08:00

As you can see, my love for Steve Madden is quite a loyal one. I've worn every one of my Steve Madden shoes numerous times in numerous occasions and in numerous different outfits. All of my Steve Madden shoes are my most comfortable yet versatile shoes and one of the only shoe brands that I keep going back to. Therefore, I am beyond excited to be hosting a party celebrating "Steve Brings It!"

Please join me at the Steve Madden store on 3rd St. Promenade, Santa Monica, next Wednesday, December 14th from 6pm - 9pm.

It's my first event in LA and I've had a great time meeting my blog readers/visitors in San Francisco and New York, so it would be great to finally meet my LA readers/visitors and fellow bloggers!!

My birthday present came early this year from Wesley Mason thanks to the beautiful weather LA had last weekend. I'm still convinced that it's his plan to stop me from getting a real bike (a Harley to be specific.)

P.S. I'm thinking about customizing the handlebar and pedals into gold... color wise. The bike guy said it can be done.. only concern is would somebody steal the handlebar??

Inside Hana Soukupova's Manhattan Apartment

2011-12-01T13:15:00.000-08:00

Designed by Mark Cunningham, Hana Soukupova's abode that she shares with her husband is one of the sexiest yet luxurious homes I've ever seen. It's definitely on the more masculine side with the exception of the bathroom, but I love all the sleek furniture, colorful pop art and overflowing books.

Here is my second outfit (first outfit and heels here) for an Alice in Wonderland themed tea party for Steve Madden's newest campaign, "Steve Brings It!"

What would my party be without great music? I'm usually the one starting the dance floor (whether there really is one or not) at any party so a pair of comfortable yet stunning heels like these are a must.

Here are my top music picks for my tea party:

1. The Kooks - She Moves in Her Own Way

2. Ingrid Michaelson - Girls and Boys

3. Ben Folds - You Don't Know Me.

4. Colbie Caillat - Favorite Song

5. Kate Nash - Navy Taxi

6. Noah and the Whale - 5 Years Time

Swarovski Wish List by songofstyle featuring swarovski jewelry

(Karen Walker Sunglasses, Espirit Cardigan, Vintage Denim Shirt & Belt, Gap Jeans, Givenchy Bag, Isabel Marant Gava Pumps, gifted Swarovski Octea Sport Watch)

I'm so happy to add this pretty black and rose gold Swarovski watch to my slowly, but surely growing gold collection. The shape of the watch is sporty yet the way the watch is cut and the way rose gold trims accessorize the watch make it more... me.

I've picked out some of my favorites from Swarovski's newest watch collection, and if you haven't heard already, there is a fun contest going on Polyvore, where you have a chance to win a Swarovski watch of your choice. All you have to do is create a set with it.

StyleMint is also offering 10% off your first StyleMint item until December 15. Just use the code SONGSM.

P.S. I wear a size 2 in StyleMint.

(H&M Denim Shirt & Sweater, Zara Pants, Isabel Marant Heels, Givenchy Antigona Bag c/o SSENSE)

For awhile I've been lusting after the Givenchy Pandora bag in this specific color until I saw the Antigona in such a beautiful blue hue with gold hardware. It took me awhile to decide on which bag I wanted more and I was sold on the more structured look of this bag.

P.S. Are you excited for SSENSE 's Black Friday Sale this Friday the 25th? The Givenchy metal mesh pumps, G-Star Tavi leather pants, and the Elizabeth and James Ankle boots (love this color) are on top of my Black Friday list.

1. My new bookshelf that I spray painted gold with Wesley Mason's help. I bought the bamboo wine rack at the Rose Bowl flea market and use it to hang my sunglasses.

2. My dog Malti. I've had him and his twin brother Pooma since I was 17. Ever since I moved back to LA, Wesley Mason and I re-adopted him and now he's Charcoal's big brother.

If Alice Had a Party with Steve Madden

2011-11-17T04:40:00.000-08:00

(BCBG Dress, Steve Madden Viktoree Heels)

I've teamed up with Steve Madden for their newest campaign "Steve Brings It!" and I had an opportunity to create a themed outfit which was Alice and Wonderland. Of course, I had to incorporate a modern day white rabbit, which in this case is Malti dressed as a black rabit, and Charcoal as King of Hearts.

The shoes I chose to wore are called the Viktoree and I love the shape of these heels. It's quite different from your ordinary mary janes but nonetheless, sweet and whimsical, which I think is perfect for the Alice and Wonderland theme! Stay tuned for more looks with this theme!

P.S. Steve Madden is offering all of Song of Style visitors a 15% off their entire purchase plus free shipping. Clearance is excluded and the code is not stackable with other codes. This code will remain valid until 12/31/11 @ 11:59pm EST. Use Code: SongofStyle15

Home Studio, High vs. Low

2011-11-10T00:09:00.000-08:00

One of my favorite part of my job as an interior designer is when I score a great item for less, especially at antique marts, flea markets or even at discount stores. I recently scored an amazing faux fur throw for my little home office which is sloooowing coming along together (pictures to come very soon)

I love the rustic charm of the home studio pictured above but can you guess which one cost $14,651 and which one cost $4,801?

(StyleMint Top, Etoile Isabel Marant Boucle Skirt, Isabel Marant Gava Pumps, Alexander Wang Rocco Bag, JewelMint Rings)

It's been awhile since I've worn rings other than the one that I always wear (mainly because it won't come off. Trust me, I've tried everything) simply because I was quite over the multiple rings thing and wanted to go the simpler route. However, I couldn't pass on these simple yet adorable XO rings from JewelMint.

If you've been visiting my blog for awhile, you know I hardly ever wear plain Ts. In fact, I can't even remember the last time I wore a plain T but that's about to change thanks to StyleMint. The cut, the color and the soft fabric of this T is so spot on that I'll start be wearing Ts like this more often.

Contrary to my last post, it's actually getting chilly in LA although it's nothing like the east coast. I always carry a jacket in my car since mornings and nights are a lot cooler in California. In this case, it's this Nine West coat. The cool thing about this coat is that it actually comes with detachable sleeves which I removed since I roll up my sleeves anyways.

Brown Tones

2011-11-01T04:08:00.000-07:00

I love it when people color coordinate their outfits. The styling of this outfit and the brown tones are so pleasing to the eye, don't you think? P.S. How in the world do people keep their shoes so clean and looking brand new?

I wanted to pretend that it was chilly by layering but who am I kidding, it was over 80 degrees in California and I was secretly burning up inside. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for this beautiful weather, but I just simply really wanted to wear this sweater.

Loving both of these outfits from head to toe! Especially the varsity jacket with the embellished cropped sleeves (possible DIY?!) and what about the matching houndstooth clutch and pumps?

The second image (need that sweater and the satin pumps!) reminds me of Sex and the City when Carrie dates the Yankee player and the girls are all dressed up to the max at the stadium.

From Miami to LA

(The 'Miami' from the Vogue Eyewear/CFDA limited edition City Collection available at Sunglass Hut, C. Wonder Tweed Jacket, Theyskens Theory Top, Zara Pants, Sigerson Morrison Heels, Salvatore Ferragamo Purse)

I wore these sunglasses back in Miami when I was shooting for the Vogue Eyewear campaign and felt like these were absolutely perfect for Miami because they are so bright, retro and sexy all at once but that also means it's easy to incorporate them into my everyday outfit in LA. I'm such a huge sucker for gold so the gold accents make them so much more lovable. I love goooold..... (remember Austin Powers?)

Ombre Glitter Nails

2011-10-25T00:53:00.000-07:00

I hardly ever paint my nails as I'm constantly using my hands (thus my nails are always short) but while I was in New York at Duane Reade looking for junk food on my first night, I couldn't resist all the pretty nail polishes. I remember seeing Alexa Chung at the CFDA/Sunglass Hut event the other time I was in New York, and her nails were painted in a glittery green polish. Although not ombre, I thought it'd be cool to try the ombre effect in glitter. It's a lot sparkly and glittery in person than in pictures.

2011-10-22T05:00:00.000-07:00

(Joie Jacket, Zara Sweater, H&M Denim Shirt, Lush Shorts, Soles Leopard Boots c/o Market HQ, Anarchy Street Bracelet)

These were taken a couple of weeks ago when it was an unusually cold and foggy morning right before the LA heatwave. Well, cold for LA since anything under 70 degrees is cold for wussy me. When I go to job sites aka construction sites, I rarely wear heels (although I do pack them) and wear the most comfortable clothes possible, that are also easy to use the bathroom in (no rompers, ever). Although I'm a firm believer of accessorizing, I don't wear much jewelry when working since it gets in the way... but as always, there are a few bracelets at the bottom of my bag just incase.

P.S. I wore a very similar outfit on the plane to New York. I'm so excited for the grand opening of the C. Wonder store. Hope you guys can make it!

I'd love to meet you guys in person and drool over all the amazing goodies that C. Wonder has to offer (from clothes to home decor!) and have an amazing time! Take a sneak peek of their store on their Facebook page. The store is gorgeous and I already know what I'll be walking out with!

I saw the cutest and biggest Pit Bull I've ever seen at Venice Beach today. Pit Bills get such a bad reputation because of evil people who use them for dog fights, breeding them to be aggressive, but the truth is, they are one of the sweetest and most loyal dogs ever. When I get a big yard of my own, I would love to rescue one someday.

Pre Band-Aid

2011-10-13T07:12:00.000-07:00

First day of New York Fashion Week, my feet were already sore from walking for a prolonged period of time in heels the night before so I had my heels in my bag and wore my boots to Lincoln Center. Before I was able to switch shoes, I was snapped by a few street style photographers and later on during the day, I fell face flat at the CVS pharmacy in these boots which I think was quite ironic. During the next few days, I either wore pants or a huge band aid.
