Elizabeth and James

Story Time.

This dress was MEANT. TO. BE. Orginally, this beautiful Elizabeth and James piece was close to $300, so when I went to Nordstrom Rack in Boston (why wouldn't I stop at the Rack?), it was $80. I hesitated for a long moment and decided against it. I came back home and could not stop thinking about the dress; a terrible regret. I searched for the dress like it was nobody's business, but no luck. Three months later I was in the great city of New York and yes, I went to the Rack in Union Square, and THERE IT WAS!! What's even better was that it was ON SALE with an extra 25% off! Since I'm a proud Nordstrom employee I get my discount on top of that so I got the dress for $30. I almost cried. So that's how this dress found it's way back to me. 

The End.

You know that feeling when you see something you just have to have it right away or else life will mean nothing to you?? Well that's how it was with this flannel skirt from Zara.

Summertime Blanc

Nothings better than a matching printed suit, and it's even better if it's white. This is one of my favorite tops that I own that's from Topshop; you can dress it up or down, tucked in or out, you can't go wrong. I love how the top makes the suit super fresh looking, but at the same time with the mix print of the top and suiting it keeps it young and trendy. The suit I bought from H&M a long time ago and unfortunately, being a fast fashion retailer, they don't sell it any more. Let's hope that H&M brings something like this back!

Simply Vera

(Click on blue links for items.)

I was strolling through Kohl's the other day and saw this beautiful floral summer dress from Vera Wang's summer collection for "Simply Vera" . It has four navy panels to create dimension and movement and is perfect for the day straight into the night. I dressed this down to work last week by wearing a denim vest to add some texture, paired with my favorite ankle boots by Hinge from Nordstrom. This outfit will probably be on repeat again and again this summer and I'm not even ashamed to say it. Ha. 

Nordstrom Makes Me Poor

If there's one piece of clothing that I love most; it would be any top with a V-Back, and if it had a V-Neck in front that would be even better. I think the V silhouette is so classic, sophisticated, sensual and is flattering on everyone because it elongates your body. While working (and taking shopping breaks) I stumbled upon both of these pieces and immediately had to get them. This suede peplum top is perfect for dressing up with a skirt or playing it down with your favorite pair of denim. I paired the top with this beautiful vegan leather full skirt to add texture. One would think that the fullness of the top and skirt put together would be unflattering, but these two pieces actually work well together, and can I just say, I'm totally loving this warm weather. 

Love Day

Happy Late Valentines Day! My February 14th was a pretty mellow one. I was blessed with the day off so I spent it at home with my boyfriend on Skype. We cooked dinner together and I taught him how to make a quick and simple stir fry since the poor guy doesn't know how to cook that much. Everything turned out to be a success! 

While shooting, this cute little guy came running over and started playing with us! His name is Rigsby! My heart could not deal with his cuteness.

What I'm wearing:

This is one of my favorite outfits to grab and go. You can never go wrong with a white V-neck and a leather jacket paired with your favorite pair of denim. Add a beanie and you're set to go. I'm wearing Frame Denim in "Le Skinny de Jeanne" which I love because they don't stretch out and are great quality. To give the outfit a little twist and pop I put on my hot pink Nike Free Runs perfect for Valentine's Day. This is a great way to dress up your running shoes.

Cobalt

My mom bought me this beautiful long cobalt wool coat from a random boutique when she went to NYC. I was really proud of her. I wanted the jacket to really pop so I wore a neutral palette that consisted of this really cute pastel pink tiered dress and to incorporate texture I put on a fitted faux fur vest. To top off the look I added a floppy felt hat and a pair of simple nude heels. I'm currently obsessed with Alex and Ani bracelets and I have yet to add more to my collection. If you don't know about them please look them up. It's one of those things where when you start and can't stop. Help me please.

Lost and Found

After profusely looking for my leather jacket, alas, I found it! Wore it to work the other day with a white V-neck, boyfriend jeans, plaid shirt tied around the waist and my favorite ankle strap heels. 90's grunge chic can you say?  

Day Off

.

Nothing is better than a day off and putting on your favorite jeans, a white tee, a flannel, and your favorite fall boots to run around in. I covered up my obvious bed head with my over-sized knit hat and I don't think anyone noticed. 

I finally had a day to catch up on.....laundry. Woke up early this morning to see my little sister off for school then ran quick errands that needed much to be done. Came home made lunch for my beautiful friend Natasha and I and just had girl time in the afternoon since we haven't been in each other's presence in so long. Now here I am sitting at my usual spot in Panera studying drinking hazelnut coffee instead of a latte because their expresso machine is down. Like seriously? I need my expresso.

The Sweater Weather Post

Three words: I. Love. Sweaters. Over-sized sweaters that is. I can't stress enough how hard it is for me this year to find the perfect sweater, but I finally found the winner for $20 at H&M which is such a steal. Rather than wearing it with leggings and classic tall boots, I decided to have fun with it by wearing a white skirt from a suit set of mine. This dresses down the skirt, but dresses up the sweater at the same time so you have the perfect combination of dressed up casual. Adding the knee high socks with my ankle boots and my favorite hat of course completes the whole look by giving it a sense of coziness. In the meantime, the hunt continues for more sweaters.
