As you're reading this I am either on my way, or already in Jamaica, Vermont camping with my best friends! This is our third annual trip, but I've been going there since I was 7 or 8 years old.  Most people are shocked when I say I love camping, but it's wonderful to sleep out in a tent and have a nice roaring fire each night and morning.  We don't do full on camping as there are tents (and lean-to's - little cabins with one side missing) and there are real bathrooms.

I'm hoping our weekend is full of relaxing, hiking and swimming in the local river.  We'll also make a stop at my favorite store, The Vermont Country Store, it was always one of my favorite parts of our trips when I was younger.  Have a great weekend and keep an eye out on my instagram, I might post some pictures (going to try to keep off my phone though.)

Notice there are only 3 photos. Sadly I was home sick on Wednesday and yesterday I was feeling a little better so I dragged myself to work and just threw anything on.

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?

What a nice, weird week! I worked on Monday/Tuesday and had Wednesday off to go to the dentist. So, of course, I did some shopping and spent way too much money. Then Thursday it was back to the office before having another day off today (we get 2 Fridays off a month.)  The only thing that could have been better was the weather, yesterday was gross and today is supposed to be similar.  But I have fun plans - lunch out with old coworkers and a photoshoot with Lydia (assuming the rain doesn't ruin everything.)

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.)

I have been on vacation in Rhode Island this whole week without my computer so today's This Week in Fashion will be a little different.  Below are some photos of what I packed for my trip.  You will get full outfit posts for hopefully a few of these when I return!

I hope you enjoyed this week's posts, I slowly did them over the last month so I would be prepared for vacation and not have to worry about keeping you ladies entertained! It pays to think ahead in cases like these! See you on Monday! ;)

At the end of today I will officially be on vacation! No worrying about work until the 29th (but I'm sure I'll be checking work emails anyway) when I'm back in the office.  I won't be bringing my computer with me but I can't completely cut myself off for the week so I'll be keeping up with blogs at night on my iPad, though I might not comment.  I have posts prepared for the week so you'll be entertained and when I get back I'll hopefully have outfit posts if I can get some family members to take photos. I'm taking my tripod but am not sure I'll feel confident enough to use it in public.  Sunday is going to be the crazy day with a ton of extended family coming for the day and staying overnight.  Some are staying until Tuesday and then it will just be me, my youngest brother, my parents and my aunt and uncle until Saturday! Make sure to keep an eye on my instagram (closet_fashion) because I'm sure I'll be posting a lot on it!

P.S. I just love that I'm the model for my Monday necklace (see product page here), woohoo!

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.

A nice short week this week! Yesterday was the 4th of July, obviously and today is another day off! Long weekends are the best, aren't they?! (I feel like I just said that a few weeks ago, ha ha.)  This week was another nice non-stressful week at work. We were able to just work on projects without rushing. That is always much better than when we have 5 things due the same day!

I have been doing a bit too much shopping lately. I blame the sales... I was still under budget but I need to be a good girl.  So I'm going to try to not buy anything until my vacation, which is in 2 weeks! WOO! I'll be spending the week at a beach house in Rhode Island with my immediate family as well as some aunts and uncles.

What a heat wave we've been having!  Even in these barely there outfits I was super hot walking to and from the train this week.  Other than that everything was good.  A nice, non-stressful week. I definitely need those every once in a while.  Last night was my company's 5 year anniversary so there was a big party. It was supposed to go until 2, but I obviously couldn't stay that long because I had to take a train home.  I am probably still sleeping as this goes live, thank goodness for working from home on Fridays. I can get up at 9 and just start working.

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!

Also, I guest posted on Stylelista Confessions today, check it out!

Another gross, rainy week. Will it ever end?!  We had one nice day this week (Wednesday) but the rest was pretty nasty. I wouldn't mind it being chilly if it wasn't raining, I dislike rain unless I can sit at home curled up with a blanket and a movie.  This week I have a three day weekend, woo! Hopefully I will do something fun today, but I may end up sitting on the couch all day with our (meaning my cousins') new adopted doggy, Layla.  I'm not really a dog person because 1. I'm scared of them and 2. don't like jumping/barking/licking and such but she has been pretty good so far.  She knows not to jump on me but has been trying to put her paws on me while I sit, which is cute but can lead to her jumping and trying to sit on me so I constantly have to say "NO!" and put her feet back on the ground.  

In a fun bit of news, I entered Monday's outfit in Current/Elliott's Instagram contest and won one of their daily $50 gift cards! I can't wait to spend it! I'm deciding between 2 of their "The Skinnies" jeans.  Either the "Blue Note" (to replace my Free People jeans that are dying) or the "Loved Destroy." I'm leaning toward the regular ones because they'll be in style longer and they're cheaper, but the destroyed pair looks so cool! Which would you do?

Most of this week was quite lovely, with the exception of Monday when it rained and I had forgotten my umbrella in the office. Ugh.  Tuesday morning I headed to a sample sale and spent to much money. Then the rest of the week proceeded as usual...until Thursday. Long story short I ended up working from home and was supposed to go into the office today instead but there are flood warnings and I'm a bit nervous to take the train so I'm working from home again. Hopefully I don't get in too much trouble...but I would rather be safe than sorry.

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?

Happy almost weekend!  This week was pretty normal, except yesterday I went to a Birchbox event for the launch of Caudalie Divine Legs. It's a new tinted body lotion to give legs a touch of sun without the use of a self-tanner. When we first arrived one of the employees showed us how it worked on our arms - look at the difference!  Then we got our other arm and legs done, such a fun product.  We also got to try the Divine Oil, Crushed Cabernet Scrub and Beauty Elixir.  I ended up buying a Caudalie Favorites pack that included the Divine Oil, Beauty Elixir, Lip Conditioner, Hand & Nail Cream and Makeup Remover. I can't wait to try it all out!

This weekend I'll be heading to a graduation party for one of my oldest friends.  He is the son of my parents best friends so I've known him since he was born (I'm only 3 years older than him though, ha ha.) We haven't seen them in a while so it should be fun, although there will be a lot of people so I'll be nervous.
