Here's my last fashion week outfit! I only went to 3 events because I didn't want to have to keep going back and forth to the city, I'm so lazy! This outfit is from the Lucky Magazine x Movado Watch party! We were able to pick out a new Movado Bold watch and style it with bracelets from Lucky's "bracelet bar"! I chose this beautiful Rose Gold Bangle Bracelet Watch and styled it with some pink/gold/burgundy bracelets. It will definitely be appearing in many outfit posts to come! We were also able to get manicures and accent nails to go with our watches! I got mine painted in a nice navy blue with silver accents with crystals! So cute!
By the time we got around to taking photos it was getting a bit dark and my makeup and hair had severely lessened in quality. Luckily I took some outfit photos before leaving in the afternoon, so you get the benefit of both! Thanks to Jackie for the pictures in the street!
Dress: Jason Wu (Roundabout Resale), Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Shopbop), Shoes: Miu Miu (eBay), Necklace: Acanthus Jewelry (giveaway), Double Finger Ring c/o Kendra Scott
And a couple party snaps! It was dark inside so most of my shots didn't come out well.
Movado also sent over this video featuring Kerry Washington, who has been working with the brand for NINE years. The 'Modern Ahead of its Time' campaign was shot by renowned fashion photographer Alexi Lubomirski and styled by celebrity stylist Erin Walsh. The video features the new women’s Movado Sapphire collection.
"Taking its inspiration from the original Sapphire created in the late 1970’s to early 1980’s, Movado went back to its historically rich archives and restyled one of the first watches ever made that incorporates a sleek edge-to-edge crystal and bezel-free case. For 2014, the design has been reimagined with a jewelry-look and feel that epitomizes femininity and sensuality in a manner that is consistent with Movado’s modern design aesthetic."

Here is my second New York Fashion Week outfit! I wore this to the Storefront X RePopRoom "Fashion That Pops" Champagne Brunch! I went with Lydia and my friend Alyssa joined us as my plus one! We were invited by Marrin Costello to see her amazing new "Stoned" jewelry collection. I cannot WAIT for the collection to be avaiable, there are so many beautiful necklaces and rings I want. Since Marrin is super awesome, she let me pre-order the Pearl Crescent Necklace ($78, seen below) so I could enjoy it before it's officially released!
I've had this dress for almost 4 years and it's the first time I've had Lydia take pictures of it! Sheesh...took me long enough! She always makes pieces look 10x more amazing than when I take my own photos. It's magic. Despite how long I've had it, it's only been given a dedicated outfit post 3 times including this one (one, two)! (And appeared in a ton of my weekly outfit roundups, but that's not the same.)
Dress: Marc by Marc Jacobs, Sandals: Sam Edelman c/o ThredUp, Bag: Etienne Aigner (thrifted), Necklace: Bubu Ruby (etsy), Rings c/o Marrin Costello, Watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Gilt), Sunglasses c/o GlassesShop
And a few photos of Marrin's new pieces which will be released online later this month!

Guess what today is... My 4 year blog anniversary! I can't believe it's been four years since I started this little blog. In those years I've met new friends, some of which have become real life friends too. I started this blog not planning to post any outfits, and now 4 years later I have shared over 450 outfits. I've done a photoshoot for one of my favorite online stores and was chosen to be part of Marshalls Project Fab. Slowly but surely this blog is helping me overcome my fear of social situations, something I've struggled with for years. And now it's on to the next adventure!
Apparently I was into green this week, ha ha. It was gorgeous, weather-wise this week, except for bits of rain, which are only fun when you're able to be inside with a blanket watching movies.

Guess what guys...I was able to go tight-less this week!!! It's a miracle! On Tuesday I was brave and decided to forgo tights AND a coat. My legs were mostly covered up by my boots while walking to work since I obviously didn't walk in heels. Let's cross our fingers that this weather is here to stay, although we are supposed to get rain again - yuck! I hope it's nice on Saturday in the least.

Friday again! This week actually went by pretty quickly, which I am glad of. I've been super tired lately and waking up at 5:30 wasn't helping the situation. Thankfully I was able to stay home yesterday too so I caught up on a little more sleep since I was able to sleep until 9. But now I can have a nice, relaxing weekend! So far no plans, I'll probably catch up on all the old movies I have DVR-ed.

Happy second Day of Spring! Hopefully Mother Nature decides to give us some Spring-like weather soon instead of 30s (°F). I think all this temperature hopping really messed with my body. I got sick Monday night so I took Tuesday off, and worked from home the rest of the week. I hardly ever get sick so when it happens it really knocks me out, I don't want to eat, do anything...and I go to bed even earlier than usual.
Rather than save my one outfit for next week I'm sharing it today anyway. I had all my outfits for the week picked out so now I have 2 outfits all ready to go for next week, I love not having to think!

This was another short week, working in the office-wise. After the Oscars on Sunday I stayed over at a friends house and drove back home in the morning so I obviously wasn't going into the city that day. And then we had my regular Wednesday and Friday at home, so only 2 work outfits to share!
The weather should hopefully be getting warmer now. Crossing my fingers we are at least in the 40s rather than the 30s. Does anyone have exciting weekend plans? I don't, but that's fine by me. I need to catch up on all the movies I've been recording. I have been watching so many "new" lately, it's madness! And by new, I mean mostly movies from the 30s-50s.

Apparently I was in a black and white mod this week, with a little purple/burgundy thrown in. I made it through a week (well, three days) without wearing jeans! But this weekend I predict will be jean junction. Yes, I know that makes no sense, but I like an alliteration.
I hope everyone has exciting weekend plans. I'm making my monthly visit to my aunt and uncle's house for a massage (for me) and website updates (for my aunt.) Then I will hopefully go to a friend's house to watch the Oscars, but there is an impending snowstorm that might foil those plans.

I hope everyone had a good week. Four day weeks are always great in my opinion. Every day this week I kept thinking it was a day earlier, so today really feels like Thursday...but it's Friday. Score!
Now that I'm only going into the office three days a week I'm going to try and up my style game and not wear jeans as often (only once a week.) But I have a feeling that won't last too long, I love my jeans! I wore an old favorite (Marc Jacobs blazer) and new favorite (Veronica Beard dress) this week. Hopefully my new jean-limit forces me to wear pieces I haven't worn in a while too. And pieces that I have been neglecting, even though I love them.

Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you guys have fun plans. I do have a date, but not that kind. I'm going to see Alton Brown Live with one of my friends, yay! It was a last minute decision because her other friend cancelled on her, but hey, works out for me. We're doing a private meet & greet before hand which should be fun. Good Eats is one of my favorite cooking shows so I'm pretty excited!
I'm starting my new schedule at work, where I go in Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and work from home Wednesday and Friday. Woo, one extra day at home! But this week we had the snowstorm so things were a little wacky, the same will be true of next week because we get Monday off.

Well the snow screwed up this week pretty nicely. I only went into work for 2 days, luckily I had both my outfits planned already so I didn't even need to think about it. They may look familiar as they're the outfit posts from this week.
But in these photos you get a teensy look at my new bedroom arrangement. Hopefully I'll have it fully organized soon so I can share it with you! Still have some odds and ends to fix up, like rearranging artwork and putting a curtain on my closet since I had to take the doors off to fit my furniture.

The first few days back at work after a vacation are always the worst, aren't they? At least I only had to wake up early 2 days this week. Since I was still pretty exhausted from my trip I went for super comfortable outfits. Stay tuned next week for some posts about vacation. Light on the words today.

Ahh Friday, my second favorite day of the week. Saturday is obviously my favorite because you don't have to worry about anything: no work the next day, you can do anything you want during the day and stay up late. Sunday is okay, but like Meg Ryan says in Kate & Leopold, it gets spoiled because you know you have to go to work Monday. I've got quite a large amount planned for this long weekend. Probably starting with a trip to Marhsalls on Saturday, then going to a fun gemstone place with my sister, and on Sunday getting my nails done with my best friends and we will probably go out to eat and see Frozen after.
Right when I get back into the groove of going back to the office 4 days a week I have a crazy week ahead of me. Next Monday the office is closed, I'm going in on Tuesday, then Wednesday I'm working at home and then I'm off Thursday - Monday for my trip to Florida. I'm headed to the Harry Potter Celebration weekend they're having at Universal. My sister and I planned to go months ago and bought our tickets and then earlier this week Universal emailed me asking if I would like to cover the event for my site, magical-menagerie.com, score!
