What and Where

Can you believe Twenty York Street now has a 120 wonderful friends? I know, I can't believe it either and I'm so ecstatic that y'all take your time to visit, read, view, support our sponsors, re-blog and post comments in our humble little blog. Thank you so much. You inspire us to keep going and we are loving every minute of it, merci a vous.

I have been a terribly busy bee these days but I have been keeping up with your respective blogs. If you haven't seen me around, please let me know and I shall hop my way to your fabulous posts! If you remember a couple week ago, I've announced a very exciting news -winning the Billings Bridge Mall's Blogger Competition! It has been a bit of a frightening experience as you just never know if you're submitted stuff is good enough and I was beyond happy and excited when I received the news!

And now, our profiles are up and our very first post are going live anytime now. I would love for you to check out my blog post for Billings Bridge here and my profile, which for the record, was not written by me. I've had many failed attempts in writing my own biography that I had to finally ask E to write it for me. I was actually kidding as while he is a fantastic writer in French, English is still not his first language and I wasn't sure if he'll add the flair I was hoping to reflect in my bio. I think I owe him an apology and a huge chocolate bar of thank you! 

Would you be so kind to check it out and let me know what you think?

I love the profile sweetie!! It´s short and well written - I would never think english ain´t E´s first language!! Maybe because it´s not mine either? :-P
Anyway, do you really teach yoga classes? How cool is that!

In Kinsey's Closet said...

You're so right, simple IS beautiful! Sometimes on fashion blogs I feel that the women try way too hard, but this is so elegant and understated. I really love it :0)

Sarah said...

Love this necklace. To answer your questions from what I've seen the dress is sold out at target. But if you go to ebay.com and type in tucker for target there, it's pretty reasonably priced too. Hope you find it!!

Am I your 121st friend then? Because I just joined your site!

In these photos I really like how you used this dress as a blank canvas and accessorized with the wooden bangles. Love the two of them stacked on top of each other.

Mae Lu said...

Simple is elegant, and non-fussy, and therefore more easily chic.

And plus, simple is understated and mature. Uncomplicated is always the easiest style to slip into.

Yeay!!! Congrats on the win! I can't wait to see more posts!

XX.
Mae Lu, thereafterish.

STYLE'N said...

Marilou-congrats-I read your article and it was informative and I love the topic of transitioning clothes from spring/summer to fall/winter. I think this is a topic many women need help with. And who doesn't love layering right? I love this outfit you have on b/c I just love the all black look and the gold accessories really add some glam to the maxi dress. Great job accessorizing!! naina

Sharina said...

Your article is very very well written! I liked it so much. Your outfit is superb, as well :) You are such an icon!

Vanessa said...

I like your profile. I learned a lot about you and your personality!
And the simple, sleek maxi-dress look is one I'm going to have to copy. I need to remind myself that many times less is truly more.

Mae Lu (the other ML) said...

I'm not sure if I commented on this outfit already or not, but simple is just so much more elegant than all these complex, artful, layered concoctions these bloggers are dreaming up lately. Keep it simple, keep it streamlined. Remember Audrey, who kept it simple always, and is timelessly remembered and treasured as a fashion icon beyond time and space.

You look amazing.

Yes, I saw the link! Yea! Thanks! I'll add you straight away! Can't believe I haven't already!!! I'm so behind!

Xx,
Mae Lu, thereafterish.
