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!'

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!

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:
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!

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!
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?!

The first part of this week was so lovely! The sun was shining and it was nice and warm, Tuesday it was in the low 80s! Sadly Wednesday night and Thursday were gross and rainy-ish.  I'm going to have quite a busy weekend, but I won't tell you why yet...it's nothing exciting. Just something I'll mention eventually. I hope you all had a wonderful week and an even better weekend!

That's all for today, I'm at a loss for words it seems.

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.

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!

Happy Friday, I'm so glad it's the weekend...I need a break from busy-ness.  Getting up at 5:40am Monday-Thursday is starting to take a toll, I think I need a vacation. But that won't be happening for a while, we'll see though.  Other than being busy, this week was pretty good. I went out again on Tuesday with some co-workers, we went to Lure Fishbar in Soho.

This weekend I'm planning on staying home and doing some baking.  I'll probably go to my Grandmother's on Sunday as well, and probably to my parents', I haven't decided, ha ha.

The weather really needs to decide what it wants. I'm tired of this warm-ish then freezing weather! I went to work without a coat on Tuesday then on Wednesday it was back to being cold and windy. Looks like next week is supposed to be warmer (low 50s) though, so that's good!

Happy March!! Why is it that February always seems to go so quickly even though its only 2 (or 3) days shorter than the other months?  I was oddly social this week. On Tuesday I went to get a pedicure with two friends from work, yesterday I went out to lunch with my "work team" (my boss & 2 others) AND last night I went out for drinks with my section of the office.  I had a Coke because I'm not an alcohol person; it tastes/feels gross, haha.  I should probably make more of an effort to try more kinds, but I'm lazy and it's too expensive anyway.

Blazer update: I've worn 8 blazers so far since starting my challenge, so I'm doing pretty well! This week I slipped one day because it was rainy & gross which made me want to throw on a super comfy sweater. But I think I can afford one "cheat day" per week, ha ha.

Thank god it's Friday night and I just juuust juuuuust, go paid!!!! Except I didn't, ha ha.  Anywayyy, what a week!  We had Monday off for President's Day and I spent the day with my Aunt, Uncle and cousin.  Then Tuesday - Thursday it was time for work.  As you can see, Operation Wear All My Blazers to Work is going quite well!  Five down, twelve to go!  So that means it will take me about a month longer, assuming I wear a blazer every day.

And, you Harry Potter fans out there should tune into Mugglenet's Harry Potter Oscars this Sunday from 1-4. You might see yours truly presenting an award. *wink wink*

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! ;)

And a detail shot of my alligator :)
This week was back to business, I was so glad to be able to get back into the office.  Work was quite busy but that's better than being bored, right?  Fashion Week has begun and so far I am hoping to get to a fun press brunch on Monday (if I can spare a couple hours away from the office) and we'll see if I get invited to anything else.  Although, my email being on the fritz might pose a problem because my contacts may be emailing me without checking the blog and seeing it's not working....ahh!

I hope everyone on the East Coast is ready for Winter Storm Nemo's arrival.  I don't have much food in the house so if we get snowed in, I'm in trouble!  But I'm sure we'll all be fine, it should be a rather interesting weekend though.

This weekend I'm going to try and do something really fun for the blog, we'll see if I have time though!  I'll also be doing my usual pre-wear outfit posts for next week (unless there is too much snow outside.)  Then I'll be hanging out at home, grocery shopping and maybe baking? What are your weekend plans?
