Only three outfits this week because I worked from home yesterday. In the morning I headed back to my parents house until after Christmas! Yay for home cooking, so much better than just reheating Trader Joes chicken (which I LOVE) and eating chips instead of a real side dish.
My cousins arrived from Ohio and will be staying until Sunday morning. Then Sunday I'm going to see The Hobbit again with my brother, sister and her boyfriend! WAHOOO!
We also have our family Christmas movie traditions: It's a Wonderful Life yesterday, Holiday Inn today, White Christmas on the 22nd and Scrooge (with Albert Finney) on the 23rd!
Finally, we have Christmas Eve and Christmas, the best days! I love seeing all my family over the course of a few days. A lot of us only see each other every few months. (but we usually go to my Grandma's every Sunday so some of my cousins are there)
What are your holiday (or non-holiday) plans?!

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)!!!

The weather this week was so crazy! Monday - Wednesday it was really nice out, except Tuesday morning when it was rainy. Then yesterday it was FREEZING cold, not cool Winter, not cool. Good thing I had my new hat to keep me warm! Today I'm working a bit from home and then this weekend I'm going to a blogger meetup and babysitting. (and hopefully I will have time to watch my Dark Knight Rises DVD, I got it on Tuesday and haven't been able to watch yet!)
I tried to wear flares to work on Tuesday but it was a total bust because walking 1.5 miles each way is not very easy when you have flats on and your pants are too long. I tried to roll them up but they wouldn't stay put, ha ha. Oh well...
In other, more exciting news, I FINALLY got the next size up in the Marc Jacobs blazer I wore on Friday! I've been searching for well over a year because my current one will no longer button (my chest grew when I stopped doing gymnastics.) My bid was only $0.99 until the last 20 seconds when a vulture started to bid, luckily they gave up and it only went up to $6.50! Shipping was $14 though, BUT I had an eBay gift card so I only paid $10.50 in the end. My current blazer is about to have it's 6th birthday, I won that one on eBay in 2006 and it arrived the day before Christmas Eve. I'm going to keep it even though I'll have a new one, call me sentimental but I can't help myself! It can be my 3/4 sleeve, unbuttoned version for when I'm not in the mood for the one that fits properly (which I hope it does.)

Today is the last day of November...where has the year gone?! It's strange how as you get older the time goes by so quickly. This week seems to be the week of burgundy, except for Thursday, ha ha. Actually, I take that back...my shoes were burgundy on Thursday too!
It is starting to get really cold out outside and signs of Christmas are beginning to appear all around! I love it! Unfortunately our office seems to think it's Summer and we were dying of heat all week.
P.S. Don't forget to enter to win a box of chocolates from Epiphany Chocolates!
And here are my two outfits from last week, which you already saw in outfit posts:

Things are slowly getting back to normal in Meganville. I went into work every day this week and my house is almost ready to be lived in again so my roommate and I will be reunited soon! I've been going through withdrawls. But things are getting back to normal just in time for things to go crazy again. We are entering the holiday season so there will be tons of family gatherings and other traditions to contend with. And yesterday I got some news that might change a LOT in my life...nothing bad, but nothing I can share yet.
In other news, what is happening to me?! I wore flats every day this week! It was just because I was too lazy to carry an extra bag with my heels in it. :) I was apparently having a gray/purple moment as well.
What are your plans for the weekend? I will be doing absolutely nothing, I'm pooped.

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.)

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.

WELCOME TO JUNE!!! :D
This might be my last This Week in Fashion for a while because today is my last day of work and I won't necessarily be getting dressed every day. BUT you can expect to see a lot more outfit posts around these parts because I will have more time for photos and experimenting with my clothes! I won't get into the details but the short version is: I decided to pursue my dream job in fashion so I left my job in order to devote more time to it. This is a very big step and an extremely hard decision to make. If you want to read more, check out this note I posted on Facebook.
Do you gals have any exciting plans for the weekend? I might go to my brother's baseball game but other than that I don't really have anything going on, surprise, surprise...
Also, my Net-a-Porter sale order was delivered yesterday so I stopped at my parent's to pick it up! Sadly the Valentino heels were too small but the Burberry dress fit like a GLOVE! I am keeping the dress because it was MADE for me (okay, not really...but i love love love it!!!), so I need to find places to wear it! I will probably wear it to my cousin's wedding in July (since I can't wear the shoes, why not the dress?! :) )

It's a three day weekend!! WOOHOO! Let's hope the weather gets better and stays sunny! This was a jeans week for me, but none of them are regular jeans! I love how much variety there is these days in jeans...printed, floral, textured, brights skinny, flare, etc. Nothing really exciting happened this week, except for what you'll read below. There may or may not be a Friday outfit because I wasn't feeling well last night (aka right now, because I'm writing this on Thursday night) and may not feel up to going to work...at least we are a little slow right now so they'll be okay without me. But let's hope I feel better!
Here's an awkward story for your enjoyment: Wednesday when I got to work a guy made it to the door before me so he held it open. Obviously I was polite and said thank you while smiling. Then later in the day when I was on my way to the potty (yes...I say potty) I saw him again so I smiled and waved (again, to be polite. Then as I was getting into my car on Thursday I saw a business card stuck to the window, I picked it up and threw it in my car thinking nothing of it. I stopped at my parent's for a couple hours and when I got back in my car to head home and I noticed there was writing on the back of the card. It said:

"Hi, I'm not sure if you have a man, but if you do he's a lucky man! I like your style! If not, I would love the chance to buy you coffee, lunch of dinner. Cell # xxx-xxx-xxxx"Umm...awkward!!! I pretty much died laughing the whole way home. Yes, I know I'm mean for laughing at his expense but I can't help it. Now, this story would be completely different if he was tall and handsome, sadly he was short and awkward...depressing! It's not like I get asked out every day either, this is the first time, albeit weird, that I've been officially asked out by a boy. Why is it always the weird ones?!! Any cute, normal guys out there interested in a date? ;)

Friday: Maybe coming soon... |
Once again it was a very icky week! Spring needs to stick, we've had a few days of amazing weather but those are followed by rainy days. No good! This weekend I am in for some much needed relaxation, no shopping allowed though because I'm still saving up for Net-a-Porter's end of season sale...whenever that is. I don't have anything else to say today, so enjoy my outfits!
In other news, yesterday I got a mystery package (see instagram) and when I opened it I saw that it was a Brahmin 'Melbourne - Medium Arno' Croc Embossed Tote from VOGUE (A $245 value)! What a lovely gift to lift up my spirits! Speaking of gifts, a co-worker gave me an adorable purse necklace on Thursday, it even opens up so I can hide things in it! I was thinking a crisp $20 bill in case I get robbed and they don't think to steal my necklace, ha ha.
