Here is my second outfit from Howler Con weekend, see the first here.  In addition to meeting Haley I also got to spend some time with the other actors: Holland Roden, Melissa Ponzio, Tyler Hoechlin, Charlie Carver, Eaddie Mays, Ornie Adams, Linden Ashby and JR Bourne. It was a little awkard not knowing who any of them were, except Tyler and Linden (he was in Iron Man 3) but I guess it was better that way.

Charlie was so nice and we talked about how scary it is driving in New York City and how awesome his jacket was, ha ha. And then he bruised my chin when he hugged me goodbye, because I suck at hugs. ;)  I only took 4 pictures at the convention and 2 were professional.  I figured it would be weird to be hanging out with the actors snapping pictures so I refrained.

Sweater: T.Babaton c/o Aritzia,  Vest: Ella Moss 'Nico' (Marshalls), Jeans: Free People, Boots: Vince Camuto (Marshalls)



And my few pictures from the weekend. Me with Haley and Tyler, with Haley, and with Charlie.

This sweater is one of my favorites. Being cashmere, it's super soft and then there's the added bonus of the really cool emerald snakeskin print! Even though the color and print are bold, this is such a great basic piece and one that I wear a LOT during the colder months.  I topped this outfit with my super cozy faux fur vest, I wore it to a family brunch and everyone was making fun of me saying I looked like a dog. But that could also have something to do with how I was crouched on the ground next to my own dog.

Vest: French Connection (Marshalls), Cashmere Sweater: T Babaton c/o Aritzia, Jeans: Mother c/o Marshalls, Boots: Eighteen68 'Megan' (Gilt),

Another monochromatic look for you all to enjoy (or not enjoy.) This time with more of a Fall color scheme with my second favorite color: BURGUNDY! These pants are perfect for the transitional time between Summer and Fall because they're so light and breezy but also keep me warm if it gets chilly. It probably would have been smarter to finish this outfit off with flats, but I always feel too pajama-ish when I wear these with flats because of their fit.

Tee: H&M, Pants: Maison Scotch c/o Lucky and Aritzia, Shoes: Manolo Blahnik (Roundabout Resale), Sunglasses c/o GlassesShop,Bag: Etienne Aigner (thrifted), Cuff c/o 9th & Elm, Watch: Skagen (RueLaLa), Initial Necklace c/o Gorjana, Number Necklace: Bijou Limon (etsy)

It's getting a lot chillier out there! In the mornings I almost need a coat, but by the time I leave work it is a reasonable temperature.  We moved offices this week where I work, which was an adventure. I love the new space, it's a lot larger and we're grouped into smaller rooms (which I like because I'm shy and it's actually helping me talk and get involved a little more.)  However, I don't like the new commute, it's only 5 minutes longer but it seems so much longer because I have to go across more avenues, which are longer.  Oh well, what can you do?

This is what my Thursday outfit looked originally, but then I decided to wear my Burberry sweater instead of a coat, so I had to change my boots too, ha ha.

Be prepared for a photo overload today!

I wore this the same weekend as my birthday brunch when my family went to the pumpkin patch - a tradition of ours, though we hadn't all been in a couple years.  I went straight from my Aunt's house (I was there the night before for a massage and movie night) so I didn't have time to change into old boots, luckily my new ones made it through okay after I wiped them down.

I always love the pumpkin patch.  The place we go has beautiful views and tons of pumpkins to choose from.  In addition to my pumpkin I also bought a bunch of adorable gourds to put on the mantel above the fireplace!

More photos from the pumpkin patch by a bunch of us:

I wore this to my sort-of birthday brunch with Lydia and Christine this past weekend.  They were so kind and each brought me a present! Christine gave me an ADORABLE elephant necklace which I promptly put on and Lydia gave me an Anthropologie dress I had seen at a thrift store months ago and mentioned in this post.  Unfortunately the necklace broke when I was at my aunt's house, which was unfortunate. :(

After brunch we headed to one of our favorite shopping destinations - Coco's! They were having a 50% off dresses sale and luckily I found 2 great dresses. One that had no brand, which I bought for $10 and THEN I got the ultimate score - a Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress for $34!

I'm finally wearing my new-to-me Chanel skirt that I bought a couple months ago. It is a weird grey/purple color but I think it's more purple than grey. And be ready to see a lot of this sweater again this year.  I wore it to death last Fall/Winter and this one will be the same.  I wore it twice in one weekend so you'll see another outfit with it shortly. Check out my adorable new owl coin purse! My sister got one a couple years ago at a Renaissance Fair and I had been jealous ever since. Imagine my surprise when she gave me a purple one for my birthday this year!

What a nice, weird week! I worked on Monday/Tuesday and had Wednesday off to go to the dentist. So, of course, I did some shopping and spent way too much money. Then Thursday it was back to the office before having another day off today (we get 2 Fridays off a month.)  The only thing that could have been better was the weather, yesterday was gross and today is supposed to be similar.  But I have fun plans - lunch out with old coworkers and a photoshoot with Lydia (assuming the rain doesn't ruin everything.)

Happy Friday!  We had such a lovely, Springlike week.  There are still odd cloudy/icky days but mostly it's pretty nice.  Mornings are cold but by the time I walk home it is the perfect temperature. Last night my cousin and I made double chocolate chip cookies while listening to crazy music, that's just how we roll. I can't really think of anything else exciting to write, so I guess that's it.

P.S. Tomorrow is unofficial Star Wars day (May the Forth be with you), will you be celebrating?!  I will probably have a marathon of the original trilogy with my new roomies (my cousins) complete with homemade popcorn!
