Huge Announcement!

Today I have some of the greatest news that I could have received this year.  It's one of those moments that as a blogger you wait for and it shows that your hard work is really paying off.  So with that I'd like to announce that my application to the Lucky FABB 2013 Fall conference has been accepted.  I am so excited and very grateful to those who read my blog.  So far this has been amazing.  I would also like to extend a huge thank you to the Lucky Fabb staff.  They are truly awesome.

The conference will take place in New York City. Some of fashion's most influential designers, models, bloggers, and a few celebs will be in attendance.  It's going to be insane and a memorable experience for me. Once again thank you.

Must Haves No. 1

  1.     Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein (Amazon)
  We all get a little nostalgic sometimes and this book brings back so many memories.  It’s full of witty poems for all ages that will surely ignite your imagination.  Did you know that Shel Silverstein wrote the song A Boy Named Sue (Johnny Cash)?  Some of my other favorites by Mr. Silverstein include Falling Up and A Light in the Attic.
  2.        Maroon ‘Trill.’ Beanie (sosorella.com)
  Overall my taste in fashion is pretty multifaceted.  While I love the sleek and classic look, I also appreciate the urban and modern look.  This beanie just embodies that for me.  It’s simple but trill.
  3.       Very Irrestible Givenchy (Sephora)
  I intended to purchase this fragrance the last time that I went to Sephora.  I just love the balance of floral and musk.  Maybe, this list will jog my memory the next time I walk into a Sephora. 
  4.        Abstract Floral Print Pencil Skirt (New York & Company)
  Like I said, I like the sleek and classic look.  The pencil skirt is undoubtedly a classic piece but the abstract floral print gives it a well-deserved update. 
  5.        YSL Touche Eclat Radiant Touch (Sephora)
  Typically I’d have a problem with spending so much money ($40) for a beauty product but after being given the chance to try this product I can definitely say that it is worth the asking price.
  6.       Jurassic Park Tee (Forever 21)
  First of all let me state that Forever 21 is definitely one of my favorite places to go for graphic tees.  They’re affordable but still very cute.  Jurassic Park is also one of my favorite movies so I just have to have this shirt.  
  7.       Chambray Shirt Dress (Target)
  I’ve always liked these dresses but could never find one that was light enough for warmer weather.  This dress is definitely what I have been looking for; it’s appropriate for work and the weekend.
  8.       Belted Cigarette Pants (Forever 21)
  Truth be told, I only want these pants because we have a wear khaki pants for work this summer.   Khakis are not my first choice in attire but if I have to wear them then I’d prefer that they not be frumpy.
  9.         Bowser Tee (Forever 21)
  I’m definitely a fan of Super Mario Brothers and this tee is just so fun.  It embodies summer and would pair perfectly with a pair of cutoff shorts.  This top is what I’d typically prefer to wear on most weekends.
  
  Now if I only had a personal shopper.....
  
  
  

Outfit of the Day: Another Day Another Dollar

Why so serious?!

Cardigan: Target; Blouse: JCPenney; Necklace: Juicy Couture; Skirt: Forever21; Shoes: Wet Seal; Earrings: Charlotte Russe; Belt: Thrifted

The days here have been so lovely and warm lately it's a shame I had to spend majority of the day inside.  No worries it's all for the sake of paying bills and being a 'grown-up'.   I do apologize for the informal setting, I took these photos at work (shh).  I'm working on finding a place to shoot these types of pictures. However, until then please bear with me.

I absolutely love this simple color pairing.  I feel as though I can never go wrong with neutrals.  I absolutely love this belt (as evidenced by the wear and tear)  I kept the jewelry fairly simple aside from necklace (which was an awesome present from a dear friend).  Sometimes I find it pretty hard to pair earrings with this necklace but these simple earrings go perfectly without making me look cluttered.  I did start the day out with heels but later changed into these flats to run errands. I kept my face simple just winged liner, gold eyeshadow, a little highlight, and my favorite lipcolor...Pink Nouveau (MAC).  

I plan to go through my closet later and donate the items that I don't wear to decrease clutter or maybe to free up some room for more clothes.  I love shopping.  Who knows?  

Spring Wishlist

It's going to be Spring soon.  I love Spring and Summer, they are my two favorite seasons.  I really really do not like cold weather.  Seriously, if I could go into hibernation until Winter was over I would without hesitation.  So in anticipation of Spring I put together a tiny wishlist of things that I'm looking forward to purchasing on my next outing.

1.  The Original Blushing Cuff $50.00  (Pictured top second from the right)

Available at www.shopwithhrh.com.  Her jewelry is awesome and she also has a YouTube channel.  I briefly browsed through the pieces before picking the piece that she is shown wearing.  It just caught my eye and that's what I look for when I'm shopping online.  Something has to pop out at me.  

2.  Stay Sweet $16.50 & Viva Glam Nicki $15.00

I had Viva Glam Nicki but after leaving it at a friends house I just came to the conclusion that I would not be able to retrieve it so I'll just purchase a new one.  I heard about Stay Sweet from the Archie's Girls collection and everything I have heard has been great so I think I'll give it a go.

3.  The Kindness Handbook: A Practical Companion by Sharon Salzberg  $13.35

A coworker was raving about it so as soon as I get to Barnes & Noble I'm going to pick it put.  I mean as soon as I get in there. 

4.  The Madison Wedge  $39.90, The Braylen Wedge $29.90, & The Selena Heel $29.90

All available at www.alloy.com.  I love wedges and I need another go-to heel.  I believe the Selena comes in different colors and I'd like to get at least two.  However, the wedges are a staple.  Where are you going this Spring without them?

5.  The Molly Pintuck Cropped Pants $125, Midi Knit Skirt $69, & The Ponte Pencil Skirt $89

All can be found at Bebe.  I really liked the selection while I was browsing today so I'll be back for those items.  Today was just a very good perusing day.  Next up is shopping day.  

 How can a girl go wrong when she already knows what she wants?
