Happy February!! Today is my last day in Florida, so sad! I must admit it will be nice to go home and back to my routine of watching TV and snacking all by myself. Ha ha.  But it was good to be around people for the past week since I'm usually a hermit.

I've had to limit my wears of these jeans lately. I wore them SO often for a while that they started to stretch out a lot and when I washed them to get their old shape back they faded a little. So I need to be more careful if i want them to last. Might have to find a backup pair on eBay; let the hunt begin!

Sweater: Madewell, Jeans: Mother c/o Marshalls, Flats: Chanel (Roundabout Resale), Necklace: was Mom's, Watch c/o Movado

I'm still on vacation in Florida, but here's my wardrobe update for the month!

I went a little crazy this month with 5 new items. One was my DKNY sweater from Net-a-Porter's End of Season sale (see it in a post here). Then I got a gorgeous suede jacket from TJ Maxx. Finally, Piperlime had 60% off all their sale items so I took the opportunity to buy a few tank tops. Only worn one so far.


THE RULES

1. Just five seven standout pieces per season.
2. Quality over quantity.
3. Basics don’t count.
4. Accessories don’t count, unless you’re spending a lot more than usual.
5. Socks and underwear don’t count.
6. Shoes do count.

A couple weekends ago I took a last minute trip to New York City for brunch with friends.  I wanted to wear this camisole I got during Piperlime's 60% off sale sale (only $12!) but it was going to be quite chilly. So I wore a suede jacket and topped it off with a leopard coat. I took these photos at about 8:30am so I forgot to take a quick shot with the jacket - oops! I also broke a fashion "rule" and wore black and navy together, but it totally worked!

Luckily it wasn't too cold so after brunch a few of us walked through Central Park to head back to our respective locations. Grand Central for me! I was only in the city for 4 hours, and my travel time was 3.5 hours. Sometimes you have to sacrifice time for fun! :)  Right when I got home I headed out to dinner with all my cousins, so it was truly a whirlwind day!

A couple weeks ago Stylehouse PR sent over the Oasis Spring lookbook! I thought today would be a good day to share them since I'm enjoying slightly warmer weather down in Florida! UPDATE: Not in Florida yet because of the storm. as of right now I'm scheduled to fly out at 5:10, cross your fingers we make it out!!

I've really enjoyed Oasis the past few seasons [see my favorites from Spring 2013 here], they've been making a lot of cute printed sets that I would totally wear if I were brave enough. Some of you might also remember that a couple years ago I featured a really fun skirt from the brand. Find my favorite looks from the Spring collection below and make sure to check out their current offerings now!



*I was NOT compensated for this post. I'm posting the images because I like the collection*

I wore this for a lunch at The Cheesecake Factory with 2 of my friends. I've been going out to eat a lot lately, but it has meant lots of leftovers. I always try to save half of my meal when I go out, that way I get more bang for my buck. It had rained the day before so we were still enjoying slightly warmer weather. It has been such an odd Winter, freezing, warm, icy, snowy, rainy: make a decision Mother Nature!

I was supposed to be headed to the warmer weather in Florida tonight until next Monday! Unfortunately because of the blizzard, we had to push our flight to tomorrow afternoon. But I'm still so excited, just a little sad that we're losing a whole day! I'll be going to Disney and Universal and just relaxing.  The reason for the trip is yet another Harry Potter press event. Universal are holding another "Celebration of Harry Potter" which I attended last year as well. I have posts ready to go so you'll still get your dose of Megan! But be sure to keep up with my adventure on Instagram!
