Let's take a break from vacation posts for a couple days. Earlier this year I was introduced to a fun new website, Nyopoly. I've been perusing it since then and thought I'd let you all know what I think of it! With Nyopoly, you negotiate your personal price on current trends and designer brands (like Jil Sander, Prada, Michelle Monroe and more!) This way, you get what you love, at a price you want to pay. Nyopoly is like walking in to a store, grabbing an item off the shelf, and determining your purchase price with the cashier.
When you join Nyopoly you get a $5 credit AND if you email joe[at]nyopoly.com and say I referred you to the site you'll get your credit doubled to $10! You can get more Nyopoly money when an offer you make is accepted. If it is accepted on the first offer you get 20% back, the second gets you 10%.
I thought long and hard about what item I wanted to attempt to purchase. In the end I decided on the Sachi Front Woven Hobo by Melie Bianco in Aqua (unfortunately that had sold out so I got the blush instead.) The retail price is $99 and I got it for $73.99, a little over 25% savings, not too shabby! To test things out I started my offer at (a very low) $20, and was given a counter offer, then repeated that process until we arrived at the final price. The item got to me fairly quickly, the site says within 7 to 14 days, but for me it was closer to 7.
Below I paired it with a gorgeous new Free People dress I got on vacation! I love all the braided details and the cutout in the back :) It is part of the New Romantics collection but unfortunately is sold out online.
Dress: Free People (Marshalls), Heels: Lanvin (Roundabout Resale), Necklace: Geoclassics, Bag: Melie Bianco c/o Nyopoly, Watch: Michael Kors (Lord & Taylor), Rings: vintage & Mom's
*I was given a credit to Nyopoly, but my opinions are my own.

This outfit is from a couple weeks ago when I went out to eat and to the movies with my best friends. We headed to our favorite dinner spot, Chilli's, and then saw Monsters University...so cute! Since it was in the evening I was able to throw on some jeans without burning to death. I offset the jeans with my favorite Summer sweater.
Now that it's Summer I've finally been able to break out this sweater again as you've seen here and here! It was made by my Grandmother for my Mom and my mom passed it on to me last Summer. It is a particularly favorite piece because she passed away when I was only 13 and it helps me to keep her near me always. I actually wore it twice in the same weekend (the second time was to the Vogue Sunday Spill event.)

For those of you that missed my guest post over at Stylelista Confessions last month, I'm posting it here today!
When Alex asked me to guest post while she was on vacation (jealous!) I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I broke out my new maxi skirt (a great thrift store find for $5) and came up with an outfit that I would wear on vacation. What I think is great about this outfit is that it can go from the beach to dinner with a few changes. I obviously showed it as the dinner option, but if you wore this to the beach just switch the shoes to flip flops, take off the jewelry and voila! You can also get rid of the tee as well and wear the maxi as a dress.
I am definitely taking this outfit with me for my beach vacation, sadly that is still a month away.

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.

I wore this on Friday to go shopping with Lydia. We both had the day off and what better to do than shop til we drop! We started at Starbucks where I found my new Summer drink - a Very Berry Hibiscus. Next we headed to Coco's on the Green where I was a bad girl and bought a black Marc Jacobs top ($10) and a Salvatore Ferragamo suede skirt ($10) and a gorgeous opal and sapphire ring ($24.) Next we quickly stopped at Sarah's Cupboard Thrift shop, I didn't find anything there but it's always fun to look around! Finally we stopped at The Cedar Chest where I found a beautiful Anthropologie dress. Unfortunately it was $59 even though the tag said the person paid 29.99 (on sale from $189)...UGH! Oh well, maybe I'll come across it again somewhere else.
The day was beautiful, nice and hot but with a breeze. Definitely great Summer weather! I brought out my new Zara shorts for the first time, they're so much fun! I went with a monochromatic look for their first outing.

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!

The return of Summer means my boyfriend jeans are back in business. They are super destroyed so I can only wear them when it's warm-ish, otherwise I'll get too cold. I've been looking for a pair of dark washed boyfriend jeans with no rips, but it's hard to find exactly what I want. I wore this over the weekend to go shopping with my parents. I bought a very odd assortment of items: a tall accent cabinet with a peacock on it (only $20!,) some new candles from Yankee Candle and a bunch of plants for a mini garden my mom and I are making at my cousin's house (aka my house.)

It probably wasn't the best idea to wear this top in the rain but I really wanted to wear these new pieces (seen here!) I definitely see both of these as being staples in the long run. I'm not usually one for basic button up blouses but since this one is sheer and has a fun print it's more "me." These are the softest jeans I have ever owned, they are slightly tight but they will stretch out after more wears so it's fine, ha ha. Can't pass up on $41 Current/Elliotts now can I?

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.

Another weekend outfit for your enjoyment, although I would wear this to work too (with heels) because I'm lucky enough to work in a creative environment. I think Summer is finally here to stay! This weekend was sooo hot! I had to steal an air conditioner my parents weren't using for my bedroom, so now I'm ready for all the heat Summer sends my way! This is what I wore to see Star Trek Into Darkness for the second
time...it was hot outside but I knew it would be chilly in the theatre
so I opted for jeans. If I wasn't going to the movies I would have worn shorts or a skirt instead. But there's plenty of time for that so I may as well wear jeans while I still can.
