I wore this a couple weekends ago to run some errands (grocery store, returning some clothes, etc.) A perfectly simple and comfortable outfit, just the way I like it! I'm still on the hunt for a replacement for these Free People jeans because they're slowly dying, they are my absolute favorites and Free People doesn't make them anymore.  My perfect pair of jeans needs to be: dark wash, skinny, no design on the back pocket and the stitching needs to match the jeans.

(As of this weekend I would have died wearing this outfit. Summer came very quickly!)

This past Monday (Memorial Day for those of you with short memories, or non-US citizens) rather than attending a picnic or party I spent the afternoon with Lydia and Christine.  We headed to one of our favorite places, The Chowder Pot for lunch, then took our obligatory outfit photos and finished the day with Frozen Yogurt (after which we decided we should have gotten Rita's Italian Ice or ice cream.) 

The girls are always saying I need to wear these purple pants more, so I did it especially for them! The pants also went perfectly with my new Zara top! I'm not usually one to wear white but the print was so cute, look at the birdies! Aaaand I'm wearing my newest purchase, which I alluded to with this Instagram photo on Saturday.

On Sunday I traveled the long mile and a half to my parents house for our Memorial Day barbeque. It was FREEZING (not really, but cold for this time of year) so I went in jeans and a sweater. I ended up having to borrow one of my Mom's big sweaters because it was really windy and we were sitting outside.

In other news, the Net-a-Porter US end of season sale started!!!!

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 Monday! I hope everyone had a good weekend, mine was very nice...except for the fact that I had to get up at 5:45 yesterday to get to my brother's graduation, ha ha.

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!'

Oh London, how I miss it. I always find myself reminiscing about my past 2 trips to that wonderful city and am itching to go back. I went for the first time in July 2011 and then was back again in March 2012 (both times for Harry Potter events,) now I'm going through withdrawals because it has been over a year since my last trip!  This shirt (and all my photos) help me get through the days when I just want to pack up my bags and hop on a plane.  Who wants to go?!

On a totally different note, these jeans used to be longer. I wore them once, then washed & dried them and they shrunk! Weird, right? But I think I like them better cropped like this, don't you? Showing a bit of ankle, scandalous! And, these sandals are 3 years old and are starting to fall apart. I'm quite depressed because they are one of my favorite pairs.  The bottoms are starting to peel (I should probably re-glue them) and strings are starting to come off the straps.

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!

 One day just wasn't enough so I met up with Christine and Lydia again on Saturday because Coco's of Madison was closing and everything was $5 (they still have another location though!) I walked out with a cute beachy skirt, 2 blue sweaters (one cardigan, one pullover) and an alligator belt: $22...SCORE.  After that we went to Guilford to check out another store and then had lunch and took our outfit photos.  Then we were going to go to TJ Maxx but Lydia went to a different one than Christine and I so our day was cut short, ha ha.  At TJ Maxx I picked up a DKNY wallet because I've been on the hunt for a new one for quite some time. I had a gift card so I only paid $11 out of pocket! Here is a similar one, mine is pink and it is a trifold with a snap closure.

Since I knew we were going to be shopping all day I decided to go for a more low-key look. I thought it was a bit weird to pair it with my Chanel, but at least I wasn't wearing a Juicy velour tracksuit with it like another woman we saw.  I had a blazer on ealrier in the day but it got hot (YAY!) Sorry for the photo-overload! You know me...I can never decide!

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!
