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!

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 :)

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.
