No this week in fashion this week because I only went into the office for 2 days (you'll see those outfits next week.) I did work Mon-Thurs but I worked from home on Monday and yesterday because of weather.  This week it seems I'm all about lusts and shopping.  Today let's discuss one of my favorite things: The Outnet Clearance Sale! It's been going on for a few days so a lot of pieces are gone, but there are still a lot of gems left! Here are some of the pieces I'd love to add to my closet but probably won't (either because of sizing options or price.)

Have you or will you buy anything from the sale? Hurry up, there's only 4 days left! (The brown printed dress is one I own, seen here and here)

I promise next week we'll be back to having outfit posts! It's been a weird two weeks.

Things have been a bit busy and crazy this week, I mean we just had a hurricane and now a blizzard yesterday. So today I'm keeping things short and sweet. A few Winter inspiration photos from Stockholm Streetstyle.  I guess I'm really into coats this year, because all of these feature a statement coat or jacket.

This outfit is pure perfection!

Definitely going to recreate this with my new oversized blazer

This would be perfect this Winter with tights!

Today I thought I would share some of my current lusts for Fall/Winter (and one random pair of sandals)! There are so many things I would love to add to my wardrobe, but I probably won't be getting any, but we'll see, I may splurge on something.  Scroll through the gallery below to see and/or buy the items!

I'm wearing the "M" Inspired Initial Necklace in silver below. Each necklace comes with a sentiment inscribed on the side, my word is "muse," fun right?!  I'm also sporting my new-to-me thrifted blazer, which is a size 14, ha ha.  But I liked it, and oversized is in, so I bought it!

Blazer: thrifted $6, Tee: Banana Republic $9, Jeans: Genetic Denim c/o Piperlime, Heels: Candie's $12, Watch: Michael Kors, Sunglasses: Ray Ban "Emma" (TJ Maxx) gift card, Clutch c/o delachic, Necklace c/o Maximal Art

As Danny sang in Grease, "Sandy, can't you see, I'm in miseryyyy."  He wasn't singing about a hurricane in that line, but whatever.  I was fortunate enough to not be affected as badly as others but I have my Sandy story to share.  When my roommate and I heard about the storm we decided it would be smart to stay with our parents for the storm and take a lot of our things with us.  I took all my really good clothes and a few other things and moved the rest of my possessions off the floor and put them as high as they could go.  I figured the water wouldn't go that high if we flooded. Boy was I wrong.  The water went up at least 1 and a half feet in the house, the floor was soaking wet when my roommate went to check on the house on Tuesday.  There was also silt and dirt everywhere.  The driveway was covered in hay, driftwood, bottles and other random items.  Luckily everything I left made it through okay, except my mattress. I took the rest of my stuff back to my parents house and I will be stealing my brothers bed because he is at school right now.

Enough talk, here are some photos of how I spent my powerless week. We were out of power from Monday at 6pm until Sunday at around the same time. (We borrowed my grandparent's generator from Friday-Sunday because they got their power back so we had a tiny bit of power)

My house after the storm...all that brown is usually a driveway (the inside is worse and flooded)

Putting the rest of my stuff in the car

Sitting with candles

Eating ice cream so we didn't have to throw it away

Making Cinnamon buns on the grill

Yummy

Playing Tsuro with the family (a fun and really quick game)

Playing Mario on an old Gameboy!

Toast on the grill!

Playing Apples to Apples (ignore how gross I look)

Last Friday I got to spend the evening with Lydia and Annie (our first meeting)! We were supposed to be joined by Christine, but she got sick...sad! The girls came to my house first and we headed to a little pond near my house to take photos. I'd been wanted to take pictures there since moving last year but this was my first time. It was a perfect location, with the exception of all the goose poo...

After photos we headed to Marshalls, where I found replacement Michael Kors sunglasses exactly like the ones I lost a couple months ago! And they were on clearance for $20, SCORE! Then we went to Plan B Burger for dinner, it was very loud but the food was tasty.  Finally we went to DSW and TJ Maxx for some more shopping.  I walked out of DSW empty handed but got a pair of Ray Ban Emma sunglasses at TJ Maxx for $60. A splurge, but I've always wanted to have a pair.

Sweater: American Eagle old, Tee: Urban Outfitters $8, Jeans: Jolt (Marshalls) $20, Wedges: Madden Girl (TJ Maxx) $20, Necklace: Francesca's $22, Purse: Marc by Marc Jacobs (net-a-porter) gift card, Watch: Michael Kors, Bracelets c/o 31 Bits
We always have so much fun taking group pictures, sometimes we go a bit crazy though ;) I've shielded you from the really insane ones (with the exception of the last one of me up above, it was too hilarious not to share), but may post them on Facebook or something...
We also had fun bugging the geese and making them fly away.  I loved the ducks though, they're so cute, always swimming in pairs!
