I haven't worn these pants in a while so I thought it was time to take them out for a spin! They are quite thin though so I'm wearing leggings underneath so I don't freeze.  Unfortunately these pants are a bit hard to style because of the coloring.  Normally I would want to wear them with black, but the base is navy blue so that doesn't work out too well. Luckily I now have this burgundy blazer which goes perfectly with the belt!

I have to admit, looking at these pictures I'm not sure if I like this outfit. I wasn't sure about it then either, I guess it's because it is not something I would usually put together.  I wanted to wear heels with it but I was going shopping and didn't want my feet to die.   

This outfit definitely shows my Marc Jacobs obsession. I should put on a whole Marc Jacobs outfit one day and see how crazy I look. I think I will, stay tuned...

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.)

I wore this a couple weekends ago when my roommate and I went to our favorite restaurant for dinner - The Chowder Pot - SO tasty!  It was a little chilly so going without tights wasn't the smartest idea, but I wanted to wear this dress without tights one more time.  My bag perfectly picked up the light purple in the floral print of the dress, as did the blazer with the darker purple. I do love when that happens. I'm also wearing a new owl necklace my sister got me for my birthday, I have an owl obsession. I blame Harry Potter for amplifying the love.

Finally, here's an outfit inspired by another huge favorite of mine, Teen Witch! If you haven't seen this movie, shame on you, it's amazing (watch it.) Full of 80s fashion, songs and funny scenes; you won't be disappointed! The movie stars Robyn Lively, Blake Lively's older sister, as the main character Louise (she is SO gorgeous, I wish I looked like her.) Because all the looks are very 80s I toned the look down a bit so you will be able to wear it without looking like you time-warped. This is definitely one of my favorite looks in the film.

The hardest thing about this outfit was finding a skirt, I was so sure that Free People would have what I was looking for, but they let me down, ha ha! I'm sure there is a more perfect choice out there (with the tiers) but I settled for the one below. It was also hard to find the pendant and, because it is Louise's source of power, I wanted to find one that does the movie version justice. So, etsy to the rescue!

Skirt: Delia's; Top: Delia's; Vest: Free People; Belt: Temperley London;  Heels: Target; Socks: Soft-Fit; Bracelets: Marc by Marc Jacobs Cuff and Target Beaded Bracelet (get two & layer!); Rings: Kohl's, Kohl's and Kohl's; Necklace: Etsy

And here are some more looks from the film. I always wanted a dress like the blue one, I think I may have had one at one point, without the peplum though. I should look for a picture of me in it...

More can be seen in this video, pardon me while I sing along.

Today I'm featuring a look worn by Allison (Vinessa Shaw) in Hocus Pocus, another favorite of mine.  I was choosing between two looks, but the other one was a bit too similar to yesterday's. I could seriously watch this movie (and Casper) every single day and not get tired of them. Anyway… What you'll need is a purple top, tartan skirt, tights, laced booties, wide belt, long necklace and a red cape! *phew*

Top: Target, Skirt: Vivienne Westwood Anglomania, Cape: Alloy, Satchel - Cambridge Satchel Company, Tights: ASOS, Socks: Target, Booties: Chloe, Belt: Ralph Lauren, Necklace: House of Harlow 1960


Here is the other look I wanted to recreate, just wear jeans, a white longsleeve shirt and an oversized tan sweater!

I've been wearing a lot of my burgundy clothes lately, it's one of my favorite colors to wear (I sound like a broken record, I say that all the time, ha ha.) Anywayyy, this past weekend I wore my Current/Elliott leopard jeans and threw on my 2 sizes too big sweater that I got on super clearance! I do love a good deal.  I am loving the fact that we are back in jean and sweater weather, it's so comfortable!

For those of you that have been asking: No I have not moved to the city for my internship, I commute via the train (an hour and a half) and then walking 20-30 minutes from Grand Central three days a week.  So far it's a nice walk, not sure how I'll feel in the rain, snow and freezing cold, but it works well for now. It's great exercise as well.

Jeans: Current/Elliott (Rue La La) $60, Tee: H&M $10, Sweater: Ralph Lauren (Lord & Taylor) $25, Flats: Chaps (Kohl's) $8.50, Bag: Chanel, Bracelets: Burlington Coat Factory and c/o LuckyFABB, Necklace c/o by boe, Earrings: Grandmother's, Watch: Michael Kors, Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Shopbop) gift card

This past Sunday my roommate and I went apple picking at Lyman Orchards!  After we went I made a delicious apple crisp with some of the apples we picked.  But back to the orchard, the weather was amazing! It was actually a bit hot at times but, when the wind was blowing, the temperature was perfect.  I took the opportunity to wear a bunch of new pieces: my new LAMade top that came in the mail last week and a skirt and necklace I bought on Saturday!

Top c/o LAmade, Skirt: H&M $15, Necklace: Francesca's $22, Boots: Vintage (eBay) $17, Bag: Lauren Ralph Lauren gift, Bracelets c/o 31 Bits and Vix, Watch: Michael Kors, Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Shopbop) gift card


Some more photos of the orchard:

It's the last day of August, where did the Summer go?!  Not that I'm complaining, I am looking forward to Fall, sweaters, blazers and wearing all my jeans again! I got a little ahead of myself and wore my colored jeans this week, but I rolled them up to turn them into capris!  This outfit is very bright for me, I'm more of a darker color girl, but I may as well embrace the end of Summer with brights, right?!

When I wore this I went home so my mom and I could work some more on my Michael Kors inspired shirt (aka watch my mom sew.)  All that's left is hemming it!  We did run into a tiny problem so it isn't going to turn out exactly how I wanted, but it will still look great!

There was construction going on so I decided to use one of the trucks as a prop, because all normal people pose in front of John Deere bulldozers, right?  Sorry for the overload of photos, I couldn't choose!
