What's in my Bag?

I always loved these posts--maybe I am just the nosiest girl ever but I always wonder what everyone carries. Good thing I was inspired to do this today, because I have been on the go since I woke up (minus a little nap) and have lived in my gym clothes...gross? Please forgive me!

The Details:

Bag: 5th Avenue Leather Bag (just purchased at the Tanger Outlets during my trip to Ocean City, MD). I love how big it is, I can tote around my computer and all other "necessities"

ipod: Nano; I recently got into country, so if you have any face-paced(ish) songs please comment them :) 

Lypsyl: best chap-stick ever!

Gum: Trident (orange flavor), I am a huge gum addict.

Planner, notebook, pens: I am OCD about making lists and jotting down every little thing (PS: I'm a sucker for school supplies)

Book: I just finished The Island by Elin Hilderbrand and need to return it to the library. Call me Carrie Bradshaw but I love the smell of library books. This one is a great beach read if you are looking for a new book.

Keys: along with a host of key-chains ranging from a Tiffany & Co. one I got when I turned 16 (from my aunt) a Coach "C" from a friend, to a gym pass swipe-card.

Wallet: Juicy Couture pouch. I just like how small it is; I'm all about the "grab and go".

Sunglasses: O by Oscar de la Renta (purchased from Marshall's for $10)

Blackberry: I must stay connected at all times! It's a sickness. 

So there you have it!

What's in your bag? 

Like any of the same stuff as me?

It's a Shore Thing

I took a much needed break from the blogging world, but I have missed you all wayyyyy TOO much! I'm back after spending a wonderful few days down in Ocean City, Maryland. There was a ton of sun...burns, laughing with my family, and trips to TCBY and Big Pecker's bar & grill (seriously go there if you are in OCMD for the best seared tuna EVER!) Anyway, here's a little picture of what I wore to the beach. Have a wonderful Memorial Day with friends and loved ones!

Me wearing:

Tunic: Wetseal, Flip-flops: Old Navy, Bag: The Sak, Bathing Suit: Target, Hat: Surf Shop in OBX, NC

Hiatus

This break may be short lived, but I am burnt out in every sense of the word.

I need a vacation...I'm on a hiatus (for a few days).

Do you ever wish you could just get a way for a while?

Words of encouragement would be wonderful!

Dressed Down in Chambray

I'm keeping this post short & sweet. I went into NYC today for some meetings & I'm dreaming of living there soon. I wore:

Chambray Top: Bass Outfitters, Dress: Soprano, Tank-top: Target, Belt: Borrowed from Mom, Flats: Dexter via Payless, Watch: Michael Kors, Bracelet: Things Remembered

Sorry for the awkward facial expression! 

Post-Grad

Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of posts over the past few days. I have been in a constant state of movement; graduating from college, celebrating with friends, packing up my house in Rhode Island and moving back into my home in New York. It's been a whirlwind of emotions (a laughing/crying mix) and I promise I will be posting regularly from now on. I also have an exciting giveaway in the works so I'm bracing myself for some awesome things to come! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and a great Monday!

Black & White...now Add in Some Color

Warning: this post is semi-sentimental. 

I have always been a black & white kind of person, viewing every situation in the most extreme light. This past year has changed me more than I could have ever imagined. Maybe I chose this time to reflect because I am graduating from college tomorrow, the scariest and most exciting thing I have ever done. But I'm only now realizing that I am just 21; I have my whole life ahead of me and don't need to make every decision yet. I need to enjoy this time to discover where I want to be, who I want to be with and what I want to do. There is so much color in this world, so many opportunities and so much excitement that it's silly to see things just as black and white...unless it is a stunning editorial photo, then black and white is completely okay!

 

Have a wonderful and sunny Saturday!

Summer Boots

I have been thinking nonstop about my summer footwear options. I have flats and sandals, wedges and boat shoes but I'm really craving some summer boots. Light weight, airy and in a nice neutral tone...is that too much to ask for? Here are some boots that I have been eying (all from Instyle.com).

Top to Bottom:

7 for All Mankind

Fratelli Rossetti

Daniblack

Carlos by Carlos Santana

To boot or not to boot, that is the question.
