Cassie Heads to SantaCon

Anyone else head to SantaCon this weekend? My friends and I woke up bright and early, or around 9:30am (hey, a girl has got to sleep!) and headed into NYC. It was a beautiful day and I was dressed to kill...in my Santa gear. Okay, it was a little half-assed. The costume situation varied from a "Hipster" Jesus to Gingerbread Men and Walking & Talking Dreidels...no costume was too "out there" or controversial; the Christmas and Hanukkah spirit was within us all! I wore: black leggings, a long sleeve Red waffle tee, camel colored Desert boots, a Santa hat, my J. Crew peacoat and my first ever eBay purchase, a black PRADA messenger bag.

I'm on the left with my friend, Sarina, on Fulton Street!

What did you wear to SantaCon, did you love it as much as I did? 

'Tis the season to SHARE your stories!

The Bohemian Lifestyle

I stumbled upon this image today while browsing Tumblr and let me tell you, everyone needs a little more of dreaming in their life. Recently it seems like all I do is imagine the possibilities...what's out there for me?

I have been going through so much lately: job applications, dating, plans to move into the city, and a huge trip to Spain (in 11 days!). I don't know where life is going to take me, but I know that if I keep a positive attitude and continue dreaming and hoping that things will work out, something truly amazing will happen.

This is a Cheer-ocracy!

Anytime I see Kirsten Dunst I have immediate flashbacks to the movie Bring It On. Not sure why and not sure if I like it or her for that matter. I know, I'm being really harsh right now. Anyway, I just stumbled upon this editorial of her and actually love it. Maybe it's just that I really love fruit-loops and bright red lips...

I hope everyone had a wonderful and amazing Thanksgiving!

Black Leather

So I have never been obsessed with leather...or Versace for that matter. While I love crazy out-there fashion, Versace just seemed a little too over the top for me. Not in the over the top way that makes Betsey Johnson cartwheel down the runway (that's just awesome) but in a way that just made me want to live in denim jeans, white tee's and a pair of relaxed combat boots--ya dig?

But something changed, guys...really! I saw the Versace for H&M collection and fell in love. Studded mini dress with a cinched leather belt...with a fitted leather jacket to top it all off? I don't know what I love more; the contrast between the gold jewelry, studs and black leather or the short mini-dress which makes me want to put on my tallest, most bad-ass heels and go dancing at Kiss and Fly until 4am. Tell me, do you love it?

I Guess I'm Back

So every experience you undergo is a chance to learn more about yourself, right? Well, lucky for me I am on the brink of something NEW, something GREAT (hopefully) and something unexpected. Sorry to be so ambiguous but I haven't been around for a little while so I don't know how I will possibly catch everyone up on my life. Things got super busy at work (I guess that's how it always is at start ups) and then things died down...quite literally. So here's to learning something new about myself. Be ready for some changes on here...because I am definitely not the same girl I was a few short months ago. So for now I will just say, Que Sera Sera.

My (Almost) Break-Up Letter

Dear friends,

Okay, this is kind of a break-up letter, but I don't want it to be. Life has been so crazy lately, in tons of amazing ways. I have a great job that I love however, it takes up a TON of my time. I have had hardly a second to see friends, relax or even breathe (well okay, breathe, eat, exercise, and sleep are still happening...homegirls gotta do the basics, especially eat!). I'm hoping to pick this blog back up soon but I don't know when I'll have a second to post. Right now I am sitting in my living room typing this post; I got back from work at 8pm on a FRIDAY, and I thought, "Cassie, you need to take a hiatus from blogging" and this is what I am going to do.

Just know...I still want to be friends, even when I am on my extended blogging vacation and I am still reading and commenting on as many posts as I can...I truly love you all and appreciate you taking the time to read and comment on my posts!

*****If any of you ladies are planning to come to NYC or are located in NYC let's meet up! It's about time us bloggy friends become meet-up friends :) Keep up with me on Twitter, I have a serious tweeting bug.

Love to love you all!

Xoxo,
Cassie
