Finally the weekend!

Hey everyone, hope you all are doing great! Any big plans for the weekend? My friends from work are taking me out tomorrow night to celebrate my new job! Need to figure out what to wear now that I mention it...

Well, I finally finished up my last day at my current job. My boss was nice enough to give me Friday off so I now have a long weekend ahead of me! I start my new job on Monday. I'm so ready to take on the fashion world. This is definitely a dream opportunity for me. I think the only thing I am kind of worried about is meeting new people, but I always feel that way at first and it usually turns out alright. So I'm just gonna try not to think about it too much. 

Anyways! I have to wear all black at Hirshleifers so I'm definitely in need of some new staple items that I can mix and match! The worst part about the all black is that my New Years resolution for 2012 was to wear more color! And I actually followed through with that, so my closet is currently very bright and colorful. I guess it's time to darken it up again haha :)

By the way, check out www.hirshleifers.com to get an idea of the amazing products and designers I will be working with. I know I haven't shut up about it but I just can not wait to dive in. I seriously can't believe it's real!

Enough of my blabber and onto the good stuff... Just a few things I wanted to share with you all!

Channeling all black (well, mostly)

I love everything about this look! The top is adorable but the skirt is my favorite for sure. Unfortunately it's sold out, but you can find something similar here, or here for a more reasonably priced, faux option.

Now these pants are something to look at. They are definitely on my Christmas wish list!

Have a great weekend!

shirt: on sale @ Sears, pants: Free People, Shoes: Mystique Boutique NYC, Bracelet: JewelMint

Please excuse my awkward self. This is why I don't like taking outfit pictures but I suppose that comes with practice. I also had to coax my boyfriend to take these for me haha. Today we went to Port Washington to get some delicious Mexican food. I seriously could eat Mexican food every day of my life, I love it so much. We had a late dinner, I made burgers at home while the guys watched the hockey game (Go Rangers!). Of course we all know tomorrow is Mother's Day... what are your plans? We're going over to Scott's parents house to have some BBQ, yum! I think I'm going to run over to Michael's and pick up some suede cord or something of that sort and make a bracelet using this tutorial from HonestlyWTF.

Here are a few of my Instagrams! Follow me @omgthursday!

See ya later! Thanks for reading :) Happy Mother's Day to all you mamas out there!

Friday's Fancies :: Decked out for the Derby

Happy Friday everyone! At last the weekend is here. The weather here in New York has been crappy as hell- raining all week! I just checked the forecast and it's supposed to rain all weekend, too- which sucks because my friends and I were planning a picnic on Saturday! Silly us for not checking the weather :( Maybe next weekend!

Anyway, looks like it'll be a quiet weekend in. I think I'll catch up on some projects I've been neglecting. I've been working on colorblocking a pair of my wedges that I got from Target years ago. Here's an update on my progress:

I am working on another coat of blue paint, because I want them to be as bright as possible! I unfortunately forgot to take a picture of what the shoes looked like before. Oh well. The wedge was black before, you can use your imagination.

So, if it wasn't official already- I'm completely addicted to colored denim! I snagged a pair of purple pants the other day!

I'm linking up with {av} at {longdistanceloving} for this weeks Friday's Fancies theme is Decked out for the Derby. I thought this was such a cute idea-- I've always wanted to go to the Kentucky Derby just to be able to dress up and wear a fancy hat! Truth be told, this is not a very fancy hat. Where does one shop for such an extravagant hat? 

Dress- Asos
Hat- Asos
Clutch- Barneys
Shoes- Nordstrom 

And a special happy birthday to my wonderful mama! You're the best, I love ya! :)

I hope you all have a great weekend! 
Thanks for reading :)

Friday's Fancies :: Picnic Primped

Happy Friday, everyone! I took the day off from work today to celebrate. It's my 3 year anniversary! Can't believe it! This weeks Friday's Fancies is Picnic Primped! I thought this idea was adorable and I loved putting together a picnic look!

ASOS skirt, $55
DOLORES YELLOW

I love this bright flowy skirt and these dutch-inspired stacked heels. I'm so happy Spring has started to peak its head out, I've been rocking open toed sandals and bare arms. I scored a couple of skirts, a spring jacket and a cute top at the thrift store today for under $20! I also got my first Birchbox in the mail this week! I definitely think it's something I'll continue receiving every month. I got some new nail polish strips- I'm really into these things! Here are a few pictures and Instagram shots from throughout my week. Are you on Instagram? Follow me! @omgthursday

Have a great week! Thanks for reading :)

Quick

I just had to stop by to rave about my new lime green mini dress I ordered from Savannah Marie at Everybody's Buying Vintage. I apologize for the not so great picture, but this is the best I could do at the time:

I was a little hesitant to wear this to work at first, because this dress is rather short; although I love short dresses, it's not so appropriate for the office. I couldn't resist the urge to wear my new threads today, so I threw on my oversized 99¢ Chinese eBay trench to cover up my backside. I also had to throw in my favorite gold cuffs from Asos (similar here and here) to tie into the gold buttons. For some reason, I have an obsession lately with gold buttons and I just want more and more! I must be going through a lime green phase also, because thanks to A Lacey Perspective I just bought this green pleated maxi from Old Navy (for less than $10!!). I had been looking for an affordable pleated maxi skirt for awhile and I'm so glad she posted about this one!

Make sure to check out EBV's active auctions, there are some really great and unique pieces for very affordable prices. Market Publique is also a great platform for selling, because they have bidding styled like eBay and it makes for great buying and selling!

Be sure to check back tomorrow for my Friday's Fancies! This weeks theme is: Let's Fly Away!


Until tomorrow! xx

PS: Have you heard this new song by Nicki Minaj? I'm obsessed. If you haven't heard it... well... You're welcome!! :)
