I was only in the office on Wednesday and Thursday this week because the train crash last Friday made it impossible to get there without taking FOREVER. Seriously, one guy on the news said it took him 4 hours to get from Grand Central to his stop, which should only take an hour and a half. Wowza. They had shuttles running to get you from the closed stations to the first open one, so that was a hassle as well. Luckily I can work from home when I have to, so it was not a big deal.
It's also a 3 day weekend, woohoo!! Those are the best, aren't they? It gives you something to look forward to during the week and then the next week is short. I think I might stop by Roundabout Resale in Westport in the morning on Monday, see if anything catches my fancy. And on Sunday we're having family over for a barbeque. I also have a date tonight to see Star Trek Into Darkness with my ex-roommate. WOO! What are your plans?
This is how I'm feeling right now! Warmth is finally coming to stay so we can shed off our layers! This is a cute ad for Warehouse, a UK based clothing brand. The end is particularly amusing, ha ha. Thanks to StyleHousePR for sending over the video!
And here's a continuation of Memorial Day sales, I'll keep updating it:

Happy Friday! What a week we had, right? The storm kept me home on Monday because we weren't plowed until 8pm...oy! But then I went back to work Tuesday - Thursday and will be working from home today, as usual. Unfortunately I missed two events on Monday (the LXR & Co. Brunch & the Kaelen presentation) BUT I got to go to the Kate Spade Saturday exclusive preview party on Wednesday! I'll tell you more about that on Monday.
As you can see, I have a new item on this week! My CHANEL BLAZER!!! EEEP! I alluded to the purchase in this post revealing my Burberry Prorsum dress. This was definitely a really lucky find at Roundabout Resale. I paid $400 for it...can you say AMAZING! After some research I found that it is from Autumn 1998, it's amazing how a classic item really can stand the test of time (duh, that's why it's classic.) Needless to say I am obsessed and can't wait to wear it more!
I have also decided to try and wear all my blazers over the next few weeks. It's such a shame that they don't get as much wear as I would like, but they make it difficult to wear coats and those are definitely a necessity in the city. But I'm going to suck it up and wear them, even if I have to carry them while I walk! ;)

Good morning everyone, this is quite the rare occurrence: my This Week in Fashion post is going up LATE! Why, do you ask? Because last night was my works Holiday party and I didn't get home until 3am...AHH! But other than that this was a normal week; wake up, train, work, train, dinner, sleep.
Can you believe there's only one work week left until Christmas!!! Time is just flying by, crazy stuff! Today my mission is to wrap all my presents (and clean my house since during the week I have no time to clean.) Then tomorrow I'm going out to eat and to see The Hobbit with my roommate, YES (we are Lord of the Rings freaks)!!!

Welcome to the first (and only) installment of the Intern Diaries! Since I only worked 3 days a week it didn't make sense to do the old version of "This Week in Fashion," so I decided to do a large recap! Moving on, I have been interning in New York City for a fashion website as a graphic designer and the dress code is pretty casual; we have to look presentable & professional. I think I've been doing a pretty good job with it.
As I have been hinting, I have some big news! After only 2 weeks my boss and the President of the company decided they liked my work so much that they wanted to hire me on a more permanent basis! We're starting out at 4 days per week to see how things go, so exciting! It's going to be hard getting up at 5:40 almost every day, but it should be worth it. Monday was my first official day as a freelancer, now I am officially working in the city! Woohoo!
I'm still commuting because I can't afford to move to the city yet, but I assume I will end up there eventually...
And here are my outfits from this week, I worked from home on Wednesday so no outfit. I decided to show you one of my commuting looks, because I obviously need to wear sensible shoes to walk 1.5 miles and sometimes need outerwear.

Happy First Day of Fall!!!!!!! For the weekend, I leave you with an outfit full of new pieces and old favorites! My new, two sizes too big, Equipment blouse I scored at Marshalls for $39 is the newest addition to my closet. I have been dying to own an Equipment blouse for a long while, so I couldn't pass this one up when I spotted it in the clearance section. Unfortunately, since it engulfs me in fabric, I need to find creative ways to wear it so you can't tell how big it is. It will have to do until I can find one in my size for a reasonable price! I also broke out my new aztec print jeans from Piperlime and threw on my beloved Burberry wedges from The Outnet Clearance sale a couple years ago! Of course Arnold, my Marc by Marc Jacobs purse made his usual appearance.
On this day my mom and I went for a quick jaunt to Macy's and Lord & Taylor because we had coupons. I sort of wish we hadn't because at L&T they had the bag I've been lusting over lately: a maroon Michael Kors Hamilton East/West! It would have been $240 with my coupon, which is still too much, so I resisted...grr!! (I could go back for it though, the coupon lasts until Monday.)
Song of the Day: September by Earth Wind and Fire
[I chose this song because the lyrics perfectly fit the day]

This was my favorite day in New York by far. I met some new friends; Nikki, Ashley, Bethany, Alexandria, and more! AND I finally had the pleasure of hanging out with Mary in person after following her blog for quite some time, she's awesome!

UPDATE: Yes, this is the same fabric as yesterday's skirt. I had my mom make another with our leftover fabric. This time with the scalloped edge. (we wanted that on the other skirt but it wasn't working out properly)
