Let's get in a time machine and go back to January 23rd, when I started my Florida vacation. Through the rest of the week I'll share my outfits and vacation photos. Exciting, right? The weather was rather chilly for Florida so I spent most of the weekend in my trusty leather jacket. But today I'm sharing some of the sights of our trip, mostly from the Harry Potter park.  For those of you that don't know, I went to Florida for A Celebration of Harry Potter. Basically a weekend full of Potter awesomeness with some cast in attendance.

Well the snow screwed up this week pretty nicely. I only went into work for 2 days, luckily I had both my outfits planned already so I didn't even need to think about it.  They may look familiar as they're the outfit posts from this week.

But in these photos you get a teensy look at my new bedroom arrangement. Hopefully I'll have it fully organized soon so I can share it with you! Still have some odds and ends to fix up, like rearranging artwork and putting a curtain on my closet since I had to take the doors off to fit my furniture.

Tuesday: Jeans: J Brand c/o Marshalls, Sweater: Vertical Design c/o Marshalls, Boots: Chloé (Roundabout Resale), Bag: Chanel, Watch: Skagen (Rue La La), Rings: vintage, Brilliant Imports snake ring & Mom's

It wouldn't be a photoshoot with Lydia without tons of photos to share, so here are some extras that didn't make the post cut! I started out with almost 150 pictures, so narrowing down is always tough!

Outfit #1: Dress:  Marc by Marc Jacobs (Marshalls), Sweater: Ralph Lauren c/o Marshalls, Booties: No.704b. (DSW), Necklace: Geoclassics, Bracelets c/o 31 Bits

Outfit #2:  Jeans: J Brand c/o Marshalls, Sweater: Vertical Design c/o Marshalls, Boots: Chloé (Roundabout Resale), Bag: Chanel, Watch: Skagen (Rue La La), Rings: vintage, Brilliant Imports snake ring & Mom's 

Here is the second of my outfits from Marshalls (see the first)! Unfortunately my gift card only covered the sweater in this outfit, but the dress was totally worth it! Especially since I almost bought that exact dress on Gilt Groupe a few months back for $115. You truly never have to pay full price for fabulous as long as you head to Marshalls!

When I first picked out all the pieces I brought to my dressing room I didn't even think about pairing these two pieces together. But after I put the dress on I noticed that the orange in the sweater matched exactly - serendipity! I love how the sweater adds a bit of a rustic feel to the dressier dress.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Dress - $198 (regular price) -> $99.99 (Marshalls price) -> $69.99 (clearance price)
Ralph Lauren Sweater - $125 (regular price)  ->  $59.99 (Marshalls price) -> $44 (clearance price)

Dress:  Marc by Marc Jacobs (Marshalls), Sweater: Ralph Lauren c/o Marshalls, Booties: No.704b. (DSW), Necklace: Geoclassics, Bracelets c/o 31 Bits

This weekend I went a little crazy with shopping. But I can't help it, I'm a shopaholic! Still sticking with my budget though, I'll just have to be careful the rest of the month.  On Saturday I headed to Roundabout, Anthropologie (just to look) and Marshalls!  I came out with a ton of great new pieces.



Roundabout: Their clearance sale was starting and I tried on about 20 things. I narrowed it down to three, very difficult. Sadly I left behind a beautiful Dolce & Gabbana dress that was on sale for $120. Here's what I ended up with: a Proenza Schouler sweater, Marc Jacobs cardigan, and Manolo Blahnik shoes! All purple/maroon...the obsession continues.
And the dress I left behind:


Anthropologie: I went in not expecting to buy anything but came across this sweater in the sale section for $30 and it was unique so I picked it up! It's not online anymore but you can search for it on eBay: "Angel of the North Algarve Beaded Pullover Sweater"


Marshalls: I had a gift card for Marshalls for my latest Project Fab challenge and ended up spending double what the gift card was ;) What can I say, I can't resist a deal! More on these soon (you've already seen 2 of them.)
