Happy Sunday to me!

Just dropping by to say hello!

top: h&m, pants & belt: ruche, shoes: urbanog, bracelet: jewelmint, glasses: the dollar store?

I had my boyfriend snap a few pics on my iphone in front of his moms beautiful garden! I went on a little shopping trip this afternoon and picked up a few things including these shoes that I just couldn't pass up!

Aren't they beautiful?! I am seriously obsessed with them! I found them at a store called Mystique Boutique- you can find them all over New York City. It's not very often that I can go into a store and pick out 5 items no problem, this was that kinda place where you just wanted EVERYTHING! And the prices are great, too. Can't beat that! 

Hope you all have a great week-  Ready, set, Monday... here we come!

Friday's Fancies :: Pretty in Pastels :: &Attention New Yorkers!

We're back again for Friday's Fancies with {av} at {long distance loving}.. this weeks theme is Pretty in Pastels! I will admit this was a challenge for me because color is still something I'm still not so comfortable with! I'm a neutrals kinda girl, but have been making a significant effort to incorporate more bright colors into my wardrobe.

I'm really looking forward to these upcoming weekends! Next week is Scott and I's three year anniversary! I can't believe it's already been 3 years. And May marks my two year anniversary of moving to New York! Crazy how time flies.

So this is a little random and probably strange but I'm dying to branch out a little more and meet some new people. Would any of you ladies in NYC be interested in brunch and a little shopping in the city sometime? I live near Queens and it's only a short train ride for me to venture into the city. Long Island tends to get a little boring at times (read: most of the time) and I can't say the people here are the friendliest (at least that I've encountered). Who knows! I'm just trying to broaden my horizons a bit and so many bloggers I follow are NYC locals that I'd love to meet! Or maybe I'm just being a creep. Anyway, let me know your thoughts. 

I hope you all have a great weekend! Here are a couple snaps I took of my outfit today.

xoxox! Olivia

Prints and patterns

Prints and patterns are obviously huge this season, and while I love floral prints- my heart belongs to geometric shapes and patterns. Chevron, herringbone, houndstooth, stripes, checkers, you name it- I love it. I'm just so attracted to the array of shapes. I don't know what it is!

Slouchy, oversized sweaters: Chunky Slouch Cardi and Coral Aztec Cardi (another similar style)
Earrings: Lucy Peacock "Vostok" Earrings (in black, too)
Necklace: Urban Outfitters (sold out, similar here and here)
Chevron printed dress: Dylana Mod Tunic Dress (sold out, similar print/style)
Shoes: Sam Edelman Lorissa
Shorts: Sadd & Bide Coming Back embroidered silk-blended shorts (sold out, other cute patterned shorts)


So this is a little random, but I just have to let out my frustrations.
Friday I was driving and listening to the radio around 5ish, and all of the radio stations have that stupid 5:00 remix hour or whatever it's called. I swear to you, there were THREE!!!!! different Adele remixes on three different stations. I agree that Adele has talent and she's a good singer, I just personally can't stand her songs. I think I could tolerate it at first, but with the amount of overplaying the radio does, it's made me hate her. So, there I was in 5 o'clock New York traffic, ripping my hair out and frantically changing the radio station only to find more Adele and more Adele and more Adele. AHHHHHHHHH! MY WORST NIGHTMARE!
Can anyone relate to this hatred I have? I'm sorry if you're a fan. I just couldn't hold it in any longer!


Anyway, have a great Monday! I have off work tomorrow because it's President's Day! Three day weekend, helllllllll yeah! I will celebrate by catching up on the 100 pounds of laundry piling up in the corner of my room and probably going to Old Navy to pick up a pair of colored denim jeans- thanks to Alyson at The Average Girl's Guide for the heads up on the sale!!


I'll leave you with one of my favorite songs. I actually have lyrics from this song tattooed on my arm! I'm your biggest fan, Rocky! :heart eyes: 

Webdoc, presents and a recipe!

Hi all! Happy (almost) Friday! I'm looking forward to the weekend, what do you have planned?


I just threw this together today. I like using webdoc because a) I don't have/don't know how to use photoshop b) it has fun little gadgets you can use and add to your pictures and c) it's free and easy to use.

I actually just ordered those brown boots! Scott got them for me for Valentine's Day. I've been dying for a pair of flat mid calf lace-up boots. I got them from Ruche, you can get them here!


I also just picked out this ring for Valentine's Day and bought it for myself from Scott. I'm a little weird, I know... 

I bought it on Etsy from capriciousme. She has great jewelry and very moderately priced! Check her out if you need some Valentine's Day gift ideas!

I also have a recipe I want to share with you all, I made it for dinner last night and it was delicious! I used to work as a waitress and one of the cooks would make this White Chicken Chili that I just recently thought of giving it a shot! Turned out great, Scott liked it a lot.

Waiting patiently for Spring!

Earlier this week in NYC we had a nice little break from the frigid cold weather and boy, did it really make me miss Spring even more! Can't wait for some warmer weather!
