Come on Spring!

Hey guys! You know those mornings when you wake up and you are in a great mood? Well today when I woke up the birds seemed to be chirping (it didn't even annoy me), the sun was high in the sky, there was fresh frosty snow on the ground, and weather.com alerted me that today would be a high of 32 degrees. All these things contributed to my great mood...I feel spring fever coming on. Don't you love it when the shift of winter to spring starts becoming a little more noticeable? Hurry up, hurry up!!! I want sandals and seersucker shorts, bikinis and fedoras! Anyway, this is what I am wearing today:

Cardigan: H&M, Button Down: Bass Outfitters, Jeggings: Forever21, Boots: Boutique in NYC, Hair Clip: Urban Outfitters, Necklace (gifted)

What is your favorite thing about Spring?

The Bling Ring

Hey everyone! I hope you are all staying warm! I am sorry that this is going to be a really short post but I have so much homework to catch up on and internship tasks to complete (we are all working from home today due to the weather). However, I wanted to share a picture of this dazzler of a ring, the "bling ring" as I call it...the ring is part of the Couture Collection by G&G Creations, which is one of the clients I have been working with at my internship. Recently Alex McCord, of the Real Housewives of New York City, wore this exact ring to a Runway Show in Providence, RI (StyleWeek).

Okay, back to my work, stay warm today! I will be back with an outfit post tomorrow! 

 Do you like big statement pieces like this? Or are you a delicate and simple kind of girl?

Let me Join the Crew!

I fell. Yep, on my icy, icy, driveway! The weather is so horrible today; chilly, windy, rainy, snowy...did I mention ICY?
Today I wore a very well put together outfit (that was more Ralph Lauren equestrian than GI Jane), but unfortunately didn't have S photograph it. Why you may be wondering? Doesn't S always wake up at 8:30am to take your OOTD pictures? Or doesn't she take them before you hit the town running with your 5inch stiletto boots? Well..she usually does, however, today I had to wake up at 7AM to drive my car IN THE ICE (sorry for the emphasis but it is really icy) to the Toyota Dealership to get it serviced (people: do not neglect your warning lights on your cars...especially in the winter!). Therefore, I went from the dealership to school, to the gym and got all sweaty (so no, there will be no outfit picture today). I showered, put on some warm sweats, WITH FUZZY SOCKS (invest) and decided I will be a legitimate outfit repeater sometime next week (and I will share the outfit in all it's glory! But you need to wait patiently!)
So I need some pretty inspiration and you do too. Let's all pretend we can afford every piece in the Spring 2011 J. Crew Collection. Can it be more perfect? Really? Can it? I want it all! Stripes, sequins, tailored blazers, strappy-flat sandals, chambray, cropped jeans, belts & button-downs, earth tones & neon's, prints & bows, ruffles & statement jewelry...magically appear in my closet please?

What inspires you on these dreary and ICY days?

Itching for a Wedge...Boot

Hi! Sorry I have been gone for so long.

Finals are over and now I can devote a lot more time to blogging (well at least for another month or so.)
It's early and obviously I am up (not dressed yet!) and searching the web for my newest craving and I know what it is...tall wedge boots in black.
I found a contender and for $79.99 I may just do it.
They are by the brand MIA. The boots are called Geva Knee High Wedges and are available in mushroom (brownish-olive) or black, personally I love the black ones!
There is something really romantic and cute about the ruffle detailing. It is different than most boots you see because of this detail yet it is not overpowering or tacky...surprising because I am not a huge-over-the-top-ruffle kind of gal!
They can be found here.


Which color would you pick out?
Be back with an outfit post later!
Right now I am going to dig into my yummy yogurt parfait and read the January issue of InStyle!
xoxo

Repeat Offender

I may be going crazy, not quite sure, but for some reason I feel like I have worn this outfit before. The outfit is all basics, but I think the stripped cardigan I am wearing is so memorable that I feel like I am wearing this outfit all over again...okay, it is kind of similar...or exactly the same, minus different wash jeans and different shoes.
Oh well! Have you guys ever worn the same outfits and not even noticed?

Anyway, today is Monday and I think it will be the first and only day of classes for me this week. Yes, I do have classes on Wednesday but I am thinking I will bypass those and go home early for THANKSGIVING! I haven't even missed a class this semester so I think it is my obligation as a College Senior to finally skip some classes!
What does everyone have planned for Thanksgiving? Mine will hopefully be filled with great food, shopping expeditions with my sister and New York City bar nights (a girl can hope at least!) Also, I may need a new computer because my MacBook is biting the dust and it is really depressing, it is basically my lifeline!

Last night when I went to sleep I was seriously bummed, I guess I am just overwhelmed with little decisions that I need to make. Are these decisions that important or are they just distractions to break up the monotony of my daily life? Whose to know. But when I woke up this morning I was determined to start fresh, to not let the little things bring me down, to know that I am a great, beautiful person and I deserve everything that I want and I will not rest until I get it!
Sorry for my little rant/anthem, on to the outfit:

1. BASS medium wash jeans
2. Blue and white stripped J.Crew cardigan
3. White Vintage Brand long sleeve t-shirt
4. Brown tall boots with gold details

The outfit is pretty basic if I do say so myself.
I have a major question to pose: how do you avoid having your jeans get saggy around your knees when you tuck your pants into knee-high boots. That is my ultimate pet peeve. I hate when jeans bunch around your knees, it just looks so sloppy and messy. I tried tucking my jeans into my socks and pulling them tight when I step into my boots...I just can't solve this issue! Can someone be my jean-tucking-fairy-godmother and tell me the secrets to perfectly tucked jeans?
I think tomorrow I am going to post a list of things I really want to buy for the winter season, or maybe my ideal new years eve party dress? Whatever I decide I know it is going to be fabulous! I can't wait to go home and start shopping, I need some glitz and sparkle in the form of a new party dress and I especially can't wait to be with D so we can finally shop together after 3 months of being apart!
