This past Tuesday I was lucky enough to be invited to an event hosted by Lucky Magazine and Movado watches to celebrate their ESQ One watch, "an eye-catching watch of unisex appeal that’s cool, colorful, fashionable and fun." I'd say that description is about right; I can girl the watch up for myself & my guy friends could borrow it. At the event we got to choose a watch and select from a wide array of bracelets to create an arm party. They even had a candy bar!
I was nervous about going to the event because I didn't know anyone that would be there. Fortunately, I happened to sit near two girls and asked if they were going to the event - turns out they were! An instant bond was formed between myself, Krista and Jackie. Before the event we took some outfit photos (thank goodness for them or I would have none.) Then we headed to the event where I met a bunch of other amazing bloggers including Jen and Tracy! I was very proud of myself for talking to people at the event, normally I'm super quiet and keep to myself.
On to the outfit! I'm wearing my new safari print Madewell tee and my freshly shortened leather skirt (thanks to my mom!) I'm also sporing some new penny loafers gifted from Joie at the RewardStyle party which I will be posting photos from next week! My new (well, a month old now) bag got tons of compliments at the party - gotta love Marshalls for unique on-trend pieces!
Tee: Madewell (on sale!), Skirt: Siena Style (Coco's $10 sale), Flats c/o Joie (also here), Bag: Gianni Notaro (Marshalls), Sweater: Ami dans la Rue (Shopbop Gift Card), Sunglasses: : Ray Ban 'Emma' (Marshalls), Necklace: Geoclassics, Watch: Skagen (Rue La La) and later c/o Movado, Rings: vintage & Mom's
Thanks to Lucky and Movado for the great evening!

Another gross, rainy week. Will it ever end?! We had one nice day this week (Wednesday) but the rest was pretty nasty. I wouldn't mind it being chilly if it wasn't raining, I dislike rain unless I can sit at home curled up with a blanket and a movie. This week I have a three day weekend, woo! Hopefully I will do something fun today, but I may end up sitting on the couch all day with our (meaning my cousins') new adopted doggy, Layla. I'm not really a dog person because 1. I'm scared of them and 2. don't like jumping/barking/licking and such but she has been pretty good so far. She knows not to jump on me but has been trying to put her paws on me while I sit, which is cute but can lead to her jumping and trying to sit on me so I constantly have to say "NO!" and put her feet back on the ground.
In a fun bit of news, I entered Monday's outfit in Current/Elliott's Instagram contest and won one of their daily $50 gift cards! I can't wait to spend it! I'm deciding between 2 of their "The Skinnies" jeans. Either the "Blue Note" (to replace my Free People jeans that are dying) or the "Loved Destroy." I'm leaning toward the regular ones because they'll be in style longer and they're cheaper, but the destroyed pair looks so cool! Which would you do?

The first part of this week was so lovely! The sun was shining and it was nice and warm, Tuesday it was in the low 80s! Sadly Wednesday night and Thursday were gross and rainy-ish. I'm going to have quite a busy weekend, but I won't tell you why yet...it's nothing exciting. Just something I'll mention eventually. I hope you all had a wonderful week and an even better weekend!
That's all for today, I'm at a loss for words it seems.

What a week! Work was insanely busy so I am happy the weekend is almost here. I'm spending the weekend at my parents' house because we're celebrating Easter with my Dad's side of the family. We usually do this with holidays so we don't have to go to two houses on the actual holiday, ha ha.
Last night I went home to get my mountain of mail. The We Are Handsome suit I bought was too big, it was falling off me. So depressing. So I am still on the hunt for a small. I also got a gorgeous Skagen watch (image) and a plain black tee from RueLaLa as well as some more bracelets from Ten Thousand Villages. And, in non-fashion purchases, I added some movies to my Disney collection.

Happy Friday, I'm so glad it's the weekend...I need a break from busy-ness. Getting up at 5:40am Monday-Thursday is starting to take a toll, I think I need a vacation. But that won't be happening for a while, we'll see though. Other than being busy, this week was pretty good. I went out again on Tuesday with some co-workers, we went to Lure Fishbar in Soho.
This weekend I'm planning on staying home and doing some baking. I'll probably go to my Grandmother's on Sunday as well, and probably to my parents', I haven't decided, ha ha.
The weather really needs to decide what it wants. I'm tired of this warm-ish then freezing weather! I went to work without a coat on Tuesday then on Wednesday it was back to being cold and windy. Looks like next week is supposed to be warmer (low 50s) though, so that's good!

This week was back to business, I was so glad to be able to get back into the office. Work was quite busy but that's better than being bored, right? Fashion Week has begun and so far I am hoping to get to a fun press brunch on Monday (if I can spare a couple hours away from the office) and we'll see if I get invited to anything else. Although, my email being on the fritz might pose a problem because my contacts may be emailing me without checking the blog and seeing it's not working....ahh!
I hope everyone on the East Coast is ready for Winter Storm Nemo's arrival. I don't have much food in the house so if we get snowed in, I'm in trouble! But I'm sure we'll all be fine, it should be a rather interesting weekend though.
This weekend I'm going to try and do something really fun for the blog, we'll see if I have time though! I'll also be doing my usual pre-wear outfit posts for next week (unless there is too much snow outside.) Then I'll be hanging out at home, grocery shopping and maybe baking? What are your weekend plans?

Happy Friday everyone!!! This week was unseasonably warm, I didn't even wear a coat yesterday...madness! Yesterday I went out with a bunch of people from work to see one of our co-workers sing - she was so good! Beforehand I went to get a mani/pedi with two other girls, my second one in ten days, I need to stop before I get used to it! I didn't get home until 1:15 so it's a good thing I didn't have to wake up at 5:40 this morning, ha ha.
Hopefully I will have a nice relaxing weekend and do absolutely nothing. But I think I need to get a haircut, mine is getting a teeny bit too long...I just have no idea what to do with it anymore.

Today is the last day of November...where has the year gone?! It's strange how as you get older the time goes by so quickly. This week seems to be the week of burgundy, except for Thursday, ha ha. Actually, I take that back...my shoes were burgundy on Thursday too!
It is starting to get really cold out outside and signs of Christmas are beginning to appear all around! I love it! Unfortunately our office seems to think it's Summer and we were dying of heat all week.
P.S. Don't forget to enter to win a box of chocolates from Epiphany Chocolates!
And here are my two outfits from last week, which you already saw in outfit posts:

This was my first full week* at work and boy am I pooped! Getting up at 5:40am and getting home at 8pm is not fun, but on the plus side I love my job! We are so busy so I can barely breathe during the day, but it's fun so it doesn't matter.
I really need to get some more walking shoes, I always find myself wearing my vanEli flats (see Wednesday's outfit) because they don't hurt at all during my 1.5 mile walks to/from the train station. My other flats start hurting after walking too far, which is annoying because they are usually fine when I wear them all day. They just rub my feet weirdly while I'm doing my "super fast to catch the train" walk. Anyone have suggestions for good walking shoes? (not sneakers)
*When I say full week I mean four days because I have Fridays off (for now.)

Watch out folks, I'm breaking out the sweaters!! I have a slight addition to knitwear, it's so comfortable and cardigans are the perfect thing to throw on an outfit if it gets chilly. Yesterday I took the opportunity to layer with my new top from LAmade, it's such a fun print and I can see myself getting a lot of use out of it.
P.S. Today is my first day interning at an online fashion website in the city: New York City, that is! No details yet, not sure if I can share, but I'm very excited/nervous and hope it goes well!
P.P.S. Today is my older sister's 26th birthday! Happy Birthday, Alaina! :)

Apparently this was black shoes week, ha ha. It was also another week of icky weather. But I won't let that bring me down because tonight I'm having dinner with my lovely blog friends Christine, Lydia and Courtney! It's going to be a lovely night where we stuff our faces and talk about random junk, so excited! Anyone doing anything exciting this weekend? I'm just relaxing on Saturday and spending Sunday with the family for Mother's Day.
I'm putting myself on a spending freeze until Net-a-Porter's end of season sale which should be coming up soon (I hope!)! I have my eye on a few pieces and I hope they are in the sale! Let's see how long I make it…so far I've gone almost a week without buying clothes, ha ha. But I do have a few new purchases from the past couple weeks to help me make it through. This week I wore my awesome new snakeskin pants, aren't they cool and shiny!? (ignore my face in that picture)
