Boy am I glad it's Friday. Weekends really are the best invention ever. I'm not saying I don't like my job, but sometimes it's nice to have a break from the craziness. This week was indeed crazy, we were super busy, which is good, so I was very stressed. In other news, my brother is graduating from college this week, it makes me feel old even though I'm only 3 years older than him. So on Sunday I'll be getting up super early to drive to the ceremony and then the whole family will be going out to lunch after.
P.S. I was very excited on Tuesday because I instagrammed my outfit & DKNY PR Girl tweeted it and called it 'Chic." WOO! That's the second time she's tweeted me in a week! The first was when I posted my manicure alongside my new DKNY wallet, to which she replied "stunning."
P.P.S. If you haven't seen the Dead Giveaway video yet, do it now. Best thing ever. I laugh every time I think about it. My favorite parts: 'we eat ribs with this dude' and 'there's some 'lil girls up in that house!'

Last Friday Christine, Lydia and I went out for pizza at Modern Apizza in New Haven. Of course we had to take outfit photos before eating, a fashion blogger must. We found a great spot on the green for photos, but unfortunately there was a frightening woman who kept talking to us while we were taking photos so I was a bit awkward. After we ate (I had half a garlic bread and half a small pizza and the other ladies shared a pizza...ha ha) we decided to do a bit of shopping. We stopped at Urban Outfitters where I picked up a cute midi ring and "M" earrings. I also wanted to buy this shirt (or the tank top version,) but it was still too expensive even on clearance, so I'll wait. Lydia got the same ring in gold and Christine got the same earrings (but C's of course,) yay for twins! To end the night we got some delicious ice cream and then headed home. Another great evening!

Happy Friday! I'm excited for the weekend to begin, I have lots of fun things planned. Meeting up with some friends, shopping and going to my Aunt's house for a sleepover (to watch The Hobbit and get a massage! Woo!) My first week at my new place of residence has been lovely, except for the two gross spiders in my room. My commute still takes the same amount of time but somehow it's easier even though I have to drive for 25 minutes in traffic to get to the train instead of 8 minutes.
Also, I think I am doomed to be single forever. I cannot handle myself around boys (or people in general for that matter.) Get ready for the most boring/pointless story ever that has me very depressed:
Also, here's some exciting news for you anglophiles/Kate Middleton lovers out there. This coming Monday, April 29th, the Issa silk-jersey wrap-effect dress Kate wore in her engagement photo with Prince William will be available at THE OUTNET.COM! The dress retailed for $535, but they will be selling it for $287.50!

So yesterday on my ride to NYC I sat behind a boy on the train and thought nothing of it. When we were pulling into Grand Central he stood up and hit his head on the suitcase rack thing and of course I laughed to myself (don't worry, he didn't notice.) Then as people were leaving the train he dropped his metro card and everyone was just stepping over it so he couldn't get it. So when I got there I picked it up for him and gave it back. He said "Thanks so much!" and I said "You're welcome" with my cute smile (aka not really) and left the train.
I was walking pretty quickly and weaving in and out of people and all of a sudden he was next to me again and said "I just wanted to thank you again! Most people would have just walked right over it and I never would have gotten it back." All I could muster was "No problem! *smile*" then we were still next to each other for a bit and I could tell he wanted to say something else but I wasn't really looking at him (because I'm shy and awkward)...then we turned different ways.... It was the PERFECT Meet Cute and I ruined it!

I hope everyone had a wonderful week, I'm enjoying the fact that it is sunny when I'm going to work at 6:30 am and coming home at 6:30pm. Love Spring! The only bad thing is the frequent rain storms that we see during Springtime, but they bring the flowers so it's okay by me. This is going to be another busy weekend and I promise I'll tell you why next week, I just like the suspense, ha ha. Even though it's not very exciting.
Looks like I was in a dress/skirts mood this week...with the exception of Thursday. I really wish I wore them more often but it's just so awkward wearing them on the train. I should just suck it up more, we'll see how that goes.
Also, make sure you enter the Epiphany Chocolates giveaway! Who doesn't want chocolate?!

Breaking news: I didn't wear a coat 3 days this week! That's right...it's getting warmer! I was able to sneak by without a coat from Tues-Thurs by wearing an extra sweater for my walk and then talking it off at the office (Wednesday I didn't even need that.) Hopefully it stays nice for my long weekend, I have today off and I'm taking Monday off to get some rest. It's also Easter this Sunday, so I'll be with my Mom's side of the family. But I see them almost every Sunday anyway so that's not really a big deal.
On Wednesday I went to a Madewell Shop into Spring event with some friends from work. Unfortunately I didn't buy anything. But I had good reason - I bought a new Macbook Pro on Tuesday! Woo! I got a refurbished 17in (because they don't make it anymore and I love the bigger screen) because my current Mac is getting old and slow (I also need more space, it only has 150GB of space, my new one will have 750.) I've been putting it off for far too long and I figured now was the time because who knows when they will run out of refurbished 17 inch models. I can't wait for it to arrive, I love shiny new objects. ;)
UPDATE: Many of us in the Potter world (and general movie/tv/theatre lovers) learned this morning that Richard Griffiths (Uncle Vernon in Harry Potter) has passed away. He was an amazing actor and will be missed. RIP Richard Griffiths.

I've gotten a lot of new pieces in my closet lately (shame on me) so I thought I'd do a little roundup since you haven't seen all of them yet. I seem to go through phases where I'm really good and don't buy anything, but then all at once I go crazy. At least none of this was super expensive (except a bathing suit that I had to return, so that doesn't count.) Here we go:
New Fair Trade bracelets from Ten Thousand Villages. I loved them so much I bought more online.
Here are various purchases from Coco's of Madison's $10 sale (as well as a denim skirt from Christine)
You've seen these a couple times already but I thought I'd share them again. My Dolce & Gabbana heels: LOVE! Bought at Uptown Consignment for a steal.
My brand new watch by Skagen (via RueLaLa), for those times when I don't want to wear my oversized Michael Kors watch. It's a nice change but I find it harder to see what time it is. I've been spoiled by the big watch face. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find this exact model available online anywhere so I can't tell you where to get it!
And my two most recent pieces, both from Target. A fun windbreaker, and reversible jeans!

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 need to find a new way to start my This Week in Fashion posts, ha ha. Today's post is quite ramble-y, so feel fee to skip to the outfits ;) I'm excited for a blogger meetup tomorrow (with Christine, Lydia and hopefully Tiffany.) We're having brunch in New Haven and then going to a thrift store. Let's hope the weathermen were wrong, I don't want rain. Then Sunday I'll probably go to my parents/Grandma's as usual.
I was a bad girl yesterday and FINALLY ordered that We Are Handsome peacock bathing suit I have wanted with for a long time [proof on the blog here and here.] I was checking what was Just In at The Outnet and there it was...2 left, a small and a medium! I was stupid and bought the M because I figured it might run big but now I'm regretting that, hopefully it fits (I was going to have them cancel the order and reorder both but the small sold out too quickly.)
I have completed my blazer wearing challenge!!! I didn't wear 3 of them, but 1 isn't really a blazer (my leather jacket,) one is a little boring (plain black, bought it for more professional stuffs) and the other is my Valentino which I didn't want to risk wearing on the train. I'll do a recap next week!
