Bye, November.

The holiday weekend came and went. I ate a lot and enjoyed every minute of it. I spent four days with the ones I love the most, and wish it would have lasted a little longer (and that I had more leftovers in my fridge). I couldn't be more thankful for the life I have. This year has definitely been a transition for me; from changing jobs and industries all together, to most of my friends getting in engaged and moving into big-people-homes and being in my first wedding, to turning 25 (I'll spear you the details) but it all has really helped me in realizing what my goals are as I become "an adult". Weird. I mean really, I remember being 15 and stressing about getting my driving permit, and now its "oh shit, I need to establish some real good credit if I ever what to be concerned for a home loan." I'll save that topic for another post, but my point is we're one month closer to 2015. I'm excited and I want to accomplish a lot in the next year (you can read about those things here). Here are a few pictures from the past weekend.

Sugar coated cranberries | I didn't end up using them on my pumpkin pie 

because they were a little too tart but they sure looked festive and pretty!

#OOTD : Super Cool Plaid

Will you look at that, its finally casual Friday and I can be a little more trendy. This plaid gem I scored at Target! God I love that place. Plaid has become my go-to pieces since the weather has changed, and it seems that most of the people in my office have to same idea - I've counted 5 others rockin' plaid, but I also work in the construction industry so plaid is like a second skin around here. That's what makes plaid a winner in my book; it doesn't matter who you are, you'll probably look super cool in plaid. Anyone else throw on some plaid today? By the way, PLAID was used 8x here. 

incase you were counting.

Happy Casual Friday xx

W O R K B A S I C .

W O R K B A S I C .  I feel like this is a common occurrence that many of us face at some point in our lives. You work in a cube where everything is an off-white hue and you deal with numbers all day, so you try to dress sharp, but it comes out basic. P L E A S E tell me I'm not alone. Since my priorities have shifted at 25, all my money goes to rent, bills, and food to stay alive, and whatever is left I either try to stash away in my savings so that I may actually own a home one day before I'm 50 - or it goes to my Starbucks addiction that I am also trying to wean off of. No more blowing all my money at Nordy's, I can only pin my dreams. How is it that these blogger/people I follow manage to have so many amazing clothes and that is their 'work basic' - If you are one of them please send me your slightly worn designer threads that you will probably only photograph once or twice in, and hook a girl up. My wardrobe palette has become a Backstreet Boys album; Black & Blue. The only thing to look forward to is Casual Fridays. xx

I hope you haven't been living under a rock for the past week.. BECAUSE it's NYFW!! I definitely went pin crazy today with some of my favorites that have come down the runway. Even though I'm all the way in California, I have been day-dreaming that I was there trekking it through Nemo to all the fabulous shows. It is a goal of mine to one day be there!! I'll be the chick sitting within the first two rows at Marc Jacobs/ Marc by Marc Jacobs ((on the bucketlist)) - decked out in MJ because I have become an MJ snob. I am in complete envy of all the lucky ladies that I follow on Instagram that have been attending all week. To see these gorgeous shows in person has to be Ahh.mazingggg!

I'm obsessed with all of the feminine details. Knits, Furs, Silks, Done.

I'll take all the heels and boots. One of each bag. Karen Walker sunnies, and all the outerwear. 

Fall is definitely my favorite season, and I would have no problem going broke to fill my closet up.

Did you have a favorite show?! Were you one of the lucky one's to be there?!

If so, can we be BFFs like now.

Happy Tuesday. xx

WW: blogger essentials

On my old blog I had started Wanted Wednesdays (WW) so I could share every week things that had caught my eye and now I've decided to reinstate it here. I thought I would start off this week with things that I would love to add to my wardrobe that I have admired on other bloggers ("blogger essentials"). I would definitely consider all the pieces below as trendy, but classic at the same time. Perfect for my style.

Left to right:

- A little army green // Willow & Clay Anorak available at #Nordstrom

- Sneaker wedges // Ash 'Cool Bis' Sneaker available at #Nordstrom

- Arm candy // MARC BY MARC JACOBS Leather ID Bracelet available at #Nordstrom 

and Classic pavé link bracelet at #JCrew

- The designer bag // 3.1 Phillip Lim available at #Net-a-porter 

- LWD // Free People Rose Garden Dress at #FreePeople

Bun Head.

(Outfit: top - Nordstrom BP, bandeau - Free People, pants - H&M, wedges - Target, and bag - Marc by Marc Jacobs)

I'm not going to lie, I always wished that my mom had put me into ballet as a little girl. The Top-knot is my favorite type of bun right now and I have gotten pretty good at making it nice and big. I'm thinking rocking a tutu and my top-knot for Halloween might be a consideration this year.

Favorite Things.

(Outfit: top - Target, cuffed jeans - Nordstrom BP, and watch - Marc by Marc Jacobs sale on Rue La La )

A few of my favorite things: SEPTEMBER ISSUES, Starbucks, and Smalls ♥

Magazine 101 - September Issues are the holiest-of-holiest issues, FASHION BIBLES , fall survival guides for all fashionistas.
I pick up all of my copies down the street at Barnes & Noble and I'm pretty sure the guy at the counter thinks I'm crazy - But as a Fashion Marketing Graduate (holler!) these aren't just magazines.. they are like textbooks, and my time spent flipping through them is research. My Vogue copy is not in this shoot but it is amazing and I highly recommend picking it up. I plan on sharing more about these glossies once I finish them during recovery the next couple of days, so stay tuned.


I want to thank KMS Photography for these great shots. She did a wonderful job don't you think?!

Side-note: I will be in surgery this morning.. and although I know that this is a pretty simple operation, I can't help but feel nervous. 

I hope to bounce back quickly with no complications - fingers crossed. I know that I'm in good hands.
