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.

In other Harry Potter related news - today my friend Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) is celebrating his 24th birthday! Yayy! Here's a funny photo of us from the last film premiere (next time I see him I'm making sure it's not 100 degrees so I won't look disgusting.) And a funny video you might enjoy too, yes that's my head. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT!

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.
Song of the Day: Black Betty by Ram Jam (watch the video today, it's funny)
Top: Cullen (Rue La La), Shorts: Zara, Wedges: Simply Vera by Vera Wang (Kohl's), Bag: Chanel, Necklace c/o Maximal Art, Watch: Skagen (Rue La La), Earrings: Urban Outfitters, Rings: Urban Outfitters, vintage & Mom's

The Net-a-Porter Sale is now in Final Reductions! Don't miss out!
As promised, my Marc Jacobs collection. As I was taking these photos I realized my problem is far worse than I thought. I can't help it though, Marc Jacobs is amazing. If I was rich, I fear I would have way more than this, which would be awesome! My obsession started because of Emma Watson. I saw her in a couple Marc Jacobs jackets and loved them, so I tried to find them on eBay and then learned more about him and his designs.
As you can see, most of these I got way below retail, but I did splurge a couple times...
Marc Jacobs Velvet Polka Dot Blazer x 2: Retail: $398?, I paid $80 and $20 via eBay (I bought 2, 8 years apart because I needed a larger size. But I can't let myself get rid of the original, it was my first Marc Jacobs item)

As long time readers will know, I have a teeny bit of a Marc Jacobs obsession. He is definitely the designer you will find most of in my closet. Luckily a huge portion of the pieces were found for far less than retail, but a few items I couldn't live without that I paid closer to full price for. The moment Lydia texted me to say she found this Marc by Marc Jacobs dress for NINE dollars I was so jealous! Luckily she let me borrow it because she's awesome like that. See how she wore it for our blogger meetup.
I decided to go all out and wear all Marc Jacobs pieces, except jewelry, to show how obsessed I am, ha ha. But the full outfit was relatively cheap because I had gift cards that I used on almost all of it. I probably paid $100 for all of it (except the dress obviously.) I wore this outfit over the weekend and plan to wear it to work this week too.
Later this week I might show all my Marc Jacobs pieces, including 2 new ones I got this weekend for under $10!
Dress: Marc by Marc Jacobs - similar (borrowed), Flats: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Shopbop), Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Shopbop), Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Net-a-Porter Sale in 2011), Watch: Skagen (Rue La La), Earrings: Urban Outfitters, Rings: Urban Outfitters, Coco's on the Green & Mom's
