Worn on a super windy day a couple weekends ago. I was dying to wear my new Sandro blazer. I have wanted a piece by Sandro for quite a few years but could never afford anything. Then I found this blazer during Roundabout's winter sale for $36! AND it's in one of my favorite colors to wear. For it's first outing I decided to wear it with my Saint Laurent patchwork blouse and flared jeans.

It's funny how depending on what I wear, my Chloe Faye bag slightly "changes" color. When worn with purple it looks like it's actual color - dark purple. When worn with burgundy it matches that too, as you can see in the photos below.

This is what I wore a couple Saturdays ago to attend a blogger event at Brizo Fish in Rocky Hill, CT. Lydia and I met up before the event to take our photos before we were stuffed with food! I loved this historical blue house, such a gorgeous color! Made me want to change the color of our house, ha ha.

The house also matched my mostly blue outfit! It was supposed to be a little windy on this day so I broke out my favorite (and only) leather jacket. It has such a great shape to it and adds a cool factor to any outfit. You can shop the whole look, including the leather jacket below the photos!

Maxx), Bag: Emm Kuo 'Calle Bahia' (Roundabout), Necklace: Indulgems Labradorite & Gemstone oval pendant necklace (Gilt), Sunglasses: Gucci




The food at Brizo was really good! We got to try a few of their dishes in tasting sizes. I'm mostly a shrimp and white fish girl, but they have so many great options! I even tried a mussel for the first time. There are also options for the non-fish eaters in your life. And if you love a good cocktail don't miss out on one of their themed drinks! I don't really like the taste or feeling of alcohol but I really enjoyed the Shipwrecked drink I tried. And if I like a drink, that's saying something! And make sure to get the chocolate raspberry dome, YUM!

Spent my afternoon tasting the delicious offerings at @brizofish in Rocky Hill, CT! Their menu is full of tasty options from Roasted Cauliflower and Steamed Pei Mussels to Tuna Poke and an amazing Chocolate Raspberry Dome! Non-seafood eaters can enjoy a burger, steak or chicken. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful thanks to some really unique accents like a blue textured wall and a mermaid painted on the floor. They also have a wide selection of signature cocktails, the most instagrammable being the Sea Foam Dream. I opted for Shipwrecked. 🍴 Tuna Poke 🍴 Roasted Oysters 🍴 Roasted Cauliflower 🍴 Steamed Pei Mussels 🍴 Tavern Burger 🍴 Pescatore Calabrese 🍴 Chocolate Raspberry Dome #brizo #CT #rockyhill #food #foodphotography #restaurant #seafood #sundayfunday #foodie #connecticut #explorect #mediterraneanfood #foodinstagram #goodeats #ctfoodblogger #ctblogger ——— a @birdsocialmedia event

An outfit I wore when it was still pretty chilly. I was tired of boots so I decided to have my feet get cold in these flats. They don't get much wear because I feel like they make my toes look a bit odd, but they're DVF so I can never make myself get rid of them! Plus I only paid $18 for them in 2015. I found a bunch of listings for the sweater and chambray jacket on eBay, so check the widget below the photos to shop!

I behaved this month and didn't make any purchases! Go me! I was also successful in wearing 2 of my 3 new purchases from last month. See one outfit here, the other look is coming next week! I would have worn the 3rd item too, but I'm saving it for Easter! Haven't decided if I'll wear it once or style it two ways for both of our Easter celebrations. We'll see.

Fingers crossed that next month I can keep up the no shopping. But I've been following a dress version of my favorite camisole for months on eBay and am thinking of getting it because its only $8 (plus $3 shipping.) Decisions, decisions!

Worn earlier this month to go see Captain Marvel with Christian, my brother and his girlfriend. And now we're a month away from Avengers: Endgame. AHHH! The suspense is terrible.  Are you a Marvel fan? I just love the way all the movies are connected, even with the smallest references and Easter eggs. Going to be sad when it's all over! But at least we'll have Phase Four, although it probably won't be the same as everything that led up to it. We'll have to wait and see!

I do love wearing new pieces for the first time! In this case it's a new-to-me sweater jacket from Rag & Bone. I wore it to a meeting and then dinner at my parents a couple weeks ago. I got it for around $30 in Roundabout's end of season sale and found a bunch available on The Real Real (in the widget below the post!) I tried to make my outfit less Wintery by wearing my Marc Jacobs mouse flats, but it was still rather chilly!
