Weekender

Is it just me or is this week moving extreeeeeeeemely slow?? I'm almost positive it's because I'm so anxious for the road trip I'm taking back to my alma mater this weekend-come to think of it, i'm sure that's the reason for it. I'm beyond thrilled to play catch up on post grad life with my friends & make more college like memories before the clock strikes 6:00 on Monday morning & my weekend wear of 5" black suede peep toe booties transforms into 3 inch oxfords for the office once again.

Hot & Cold

Mixing warm weather clothing into an autumn wardrobe has always been a preference of mine, mostly because I'm too impatient to wait until it gets warm to wear my favorite summer articles again. I love the mixing of muted colors with bright accents, it's always fun and unexpected.

Daydreamer

It's the most wonderful time of the year :-). Yep, my birthday (in 24 days to be exact), and like always I've compiled a list of (mostly) crazy expensive but fabulously stylish items that circle around in my dreams morning, noon, & night. One day this dream will be a reality...but until then simply wishing will suffice.

Made Up

I've always been a minimalist when it comes to makeup...These days I'm lucky if I remember tinted moisturizer and gloss, though a little odd considering I'm a nail polish fanatic-you'd think I would go the extra mile and indulge in it all right?? But I vow to make more of an effort to explore the possibilities because like clothing, cosmetics can transform & enhance.

Sonia Kashuk's line for Target has this seasons most popular shades & almost every type of makeup brush ever invented for extremely affordable prices. I just may have found my new obsession.

Classic Wednesday

I hope everyone has gotten over this hump ok, it will be the weekend before we know it!

This week has been oddly warm, and I'm taking full advantage of it by going bare legged while I still can. I had the urge to go for a more classic look today. It's time to steer away from my dark colored wardrobe comfort zone (blah!).

Button Up

There are plenty of inexpensive ways to update your A/W wardrobe from coupling a summer dress with tights & boots to changing the buttons on an old coat. I bought this from F21 last year on major clearance (all of the buttons were either falling off or missing) with every intention of changing them. As time got away from me it was pushed further into my closet, ultimately reaching neglect, and before I knew it my denim jacket was in heavy rotation. While unpacking some cold weather gear I recalled why I'd fallen for it and rushed to the nearest fabric store. I bought 5 buttons for a mere $20 and it took me all of 15 minutes to do following this eHow tutorial. I'm not big on cold weather but I'm eager to show it off with some long black leather gloves & and bright scarf! What a fun way to start the week off :-).

Weekend Love

The makings of my perfect weekend consisted of some much needed relaxation & retail therapy.

I wore my new cardigan, posted here, to the movies & I am SO in love, I never want to take it off! I found these boots while rummaging through my moms closet-they are hers from college! Isn't it lovely how trends(worth repeating)repeat themselves??
