Well, we've entered Summer weather territory with temperatures in the 80s recently! On this particular day I wore my new dress from Aeropostale and layered this cashmere sweater on top for some more coverage. The dress is more appropriate for the beach being so short and very skimpy up top. But it is so comfortable, I love the softness of the fabric!

Since today is Labor Day here in the US I thought it was only fitting to share an outfit with some white. I'm not really one to follow the "no white after labor day" rule, but I also don't own much white apart from some chunky sweaters. However, this may be the last you see of these jeans for the year since they're cropped and definitely feel more Summer than Fall/Winter. I also decided to finish the outfit with some pastels instead of my usual jewel tones and darker shades.

I hope everyone is enjoying their day off! We had our labor day party yesterday (outfit to come) so today I'm hanging out and reading more Game of Thrones. Finally decided to bite the bullet and read it. I've finished 3.5 out of the 5 in only 3.5 weeks! Then I'll have to wait impatiently for the next 2, which will bring back some Harry Potter memories.

I always feel very 70s when I wear these Free People flares, and the addition of my new necklace really added to the vibe.  I won this super cool locket at South Moon Under's Grand Opening party, it's by House of Harlow and doubles as a locket! Now I just have to figure out what to put inside it. I also won this House of Harlow "Engraved Orb Pendant Necklace."  This is what I wore on Mother's Day, although it was a little too warm for the top, but I'll take warmth over cold any day, wouldn't you?

Another attempt to keep something that is usually more Fall/Wintery in play for Spring.  I do plan on continuing wearing these black skinnies throughout the Spring, and perhaps into the Summer. The easiest way to do that is to pair it with bright colors and florals.

Happy Friday! Is everyone ready for the weekend? I sure am! Tomorrow I'm going to the P&G Gymnastics Championship Finals with my best friends and some old gymnastics buddies which should be great fun!  I will also hopefully go grocery shopping with one of them to get our supplies for camping next weekend! And that's all I have planned, a nice easy weekend.  What are your plans?

The first week back at work after vacation always stinks, you're used to doing nothing all day and have to get back to waking up early and heading off to work.  Luckily I like my job, so it wasn't too bad, just the waking up at 5:40am part.

Yesterday I had quite the fan encounter. I got on the train as usual and when we got to the 3rd stop MELISSA JOAN HART got on and sat right in front of me! She lives in CT & was going to NYC to do a voice over thing - found that out via Twitter! I was freaking out (inside of course) and immediately texted my friend to tell her even though I knew she would be asleep.  I didn't want to bother her so I just discreetly stared like a crazy person. When we got off the train I was right behind her but was too scared to ask for a picture, so sad.  I loved Sabrina and Clarissa Explains it all so it was weird to see her so close up (I did see her at the last Harry Potter premiere, but that was further away and not as exciting.)

July is already halfway over...what is this madness?!  Right about now I am in vacation countdown mode, only one week to go and I'll be spending a blissful week in a beach house right across the street from the beach in Rhode Island!

I wore my new Marc Jacobs dress on Monday and I love it! It is super comfortable and I love the fun detail at the bottom. The only problem is it wrinkles SUPER easy (and I don't own an iron...) I'll just have to drive the long 5 minutes to my parents house when it needs to be ironed. I also wore a pencil skirt to work for the first time ever...what?!  But this skirt that I got for $10 at Coco's needs to be shown off, so I wore it with the sweater my grandmother made for my mom (who then passed it on to me) to dress it down.

Happy First Day of Summer! Today is the longest day of the year, hopefully I'll be able to hang out outside for a while and enjoy the fresh air.  We are slowly having less rainy days per week, that's something to be excited about, right?!  I have another day off today so I'll probably spend it shopping even though I shouldn't really spend money if I want to splurge on something when the Net-a-Porter End of Season Sale gets to final reductions. ;)

I really need to switch up my morning poses. But I take these pictures at 5:50 in the morning, so my mind is still in sleep mode.  On the plus side, at least I don't look like death warmed up this week. And I actually let my hair dry naturally this week so it's straight. I've been lazy lately and have gone to bed with my hair in a bun so it's wavy in the morning (and then straightens through the day.) Oh straight hair problems, gotta love 'em!

Happy Friday!! Don't you just love short weeks? They make me so happy.  This week was very odd weather-wise. Monday was gorgeous, then Tuesday and Wednesday were rainy and muggy. Then today it was 90 degrees... HOT HOT HOT. As you can see my clothing reflects that, slowly I wore less and less until I was as skimpy as I could go for work.

This weekend I have absolutely no plans, except I'm going to see Star Trek Into Darkness again, this time with my sister and her boyfriend.  I rarely go to the movies, so you know I love something when I see it twice. Although, the past few movies I saw in theatres I saw twice (Dark Knight Rises, The Hobbit,) I guess that means I'm a good judge.

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?

As I've mentioned a couple times in the past few posts, my brother graduated from college on Sunday.  Here's what I wore for the ceremony. It's my first time going tightless this year (unless you count wearing sheer pantyhose on Easter as tightless.) I love this new dress from Lord & Taylor. Giraffe print? Yes, please!

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!

Last Friday I got to spend the evening with Lydia and Annie (our first meeting)! We were supposed to be joined by Christine, but she got sick...sad! The girls came to my house first and we headed to a little pond near my house to take photos. I'd been wanted to take pictures there since moving last year but this was my first time. It was a perfect location, with the exception of all the goose poo...

After photos we headed to Marshalls, where I found replacement Michael Kors sunglasses exactly like the ones I lost a couple months ago! And they were on clearance for $20, SCORE! Then we went to Plan B Burger for dinner, it was very loud but the food was tasty.  Finally we went to DSW and TJ Maxx for some more shopping.  I walked out of DSW empty handed but got a pair of Ray Ban Emma sunglasses at TJ Maxx for $60. A splurge, but I've always wanted to have a pair.

Sweater: American Eagle old, Tee: Urban Outfitters $8, Jeans: Jolt (Marshalls) $20, Wedges: Madden Girl (TJ Maxx) $20, Necklace: Francesca's $22, Purse: Marc by Marc Jacobs (net-a-porter) gift card, Watch: Michael Kors, Bracelets c/o 31 Bits
We always have so much fun taking group pictures, sometimes we go a bit crazy though ;) I've shielded you from the really insane ones (with the exception of the last one of me up above, it was too hilarious not to share), but may post them on Facebook or something...
We also had fun bugging the geese and making them fly away.  I loved the ducks though, they're so cute, always swimming in pairs!
