Remember how I said I have a blazer addiction? This is the proof. Last month I made this fun video featuring my blazers, 17 of them. Since creating it I bought 2 more: a Marc Jacobs denim jacket and a PBM over-sized camel hair blazer...oops! At least they were both $10. Enjoy! (My favorite part is right before the credits ;) )
And, for your viewing pleasure, here are all the outfits from my blazer challenge. (a couple are missing, but this is pretty much all of them.) You will see a lot of duplicate items in here as well. I would have liked to have added skirts into the mix but I am too lazy to wear them on the train (gotta be more careful when sitting and getting up, and I hate being ladylike) ;)

Happy Friday, I'm so glad it's the weekend...I need a break from busy-ness. Getting up at 5:40am Monday-Thursday is starting to take a toll, I think I need a vacation. But that won't be happening for a while, we'll see though. Other than being busy, this week was pretty good. I went out again on Tuesday with some co-workers, we went to Lure Fishbar in Soho.
This weekend I'm planning on staying home and doing some baking. I'll probably go to my Grandmother's on Sunday as well, and probably to my parents', I haven't decided, ha ha.
The weather really needs to decide what it wants. I'm tired of this warm-ish then freezing weather! I went to work without a coat on Tuesday then on Wednesday it was back to being cold and windy. Looks like next week is supposed to be warmer (low 50s) though, so that's good!

Things are slowly getting back to normal in Meganville. I went into work every day this week and my house is almost ready to be lived in again so my roommate and I will be reunited soon! I've been going through withdrawls. But things are getting back to normal just in time for things to go crazy again. We are entering the holiday season so there will be tons of family gatherings and other traditions to contend with. And yesterday I got some news that might change a LOT in my life...nothing bad, but nothing I can share yet.
In other news, what is happening to me?! I wore flats every day this week! It was just because I was too lazy to carry an extra bag with my heels in it. :) I was apparently having a gray/purple moment as well.
What are your plans for the weekend? I will be doing absolutely nothing, I'm pooped.
And here are my two outfits from last week:

Once again it was a very icky week! Spring needs to stick, we've had a few days of amazing weather but those are followed by rainy days. No good! This weekend I am in for some much needed relaxation, no shopping allowed though because I'm still saving up for Net-a-Porter's end of season sale...whenever that is. I don't have anything else to say today, so enjoy my outfits!
In other news, yesterday I got a mystery package (see instagram) and when I opened it I saw that it was a Brahmin 'Melbourne - Medium Arno' Croc Embossed Tote from VOGUE (A $245 value)! What a lovely gift to lift up my spirits! Speaking of gifts, a co-worker gave me an adorable purse necklace on Thursday, it even opens up so I can hide things in it! I was thinking a crisp $20 bill in case I get robbed and they don't think to steal my necklace, ha ha.

Another icky, rainy week down, hopefully no more to go! I hate the part of Spring when the weather is so unpredictable. Why do I always seem to talk about weather? There are plenty of other things to discuss on here... For example: MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU!!!!! Yes, friends, it is unofficial Star Wars day! I think I may have a marathon of the original trilogy tonight to celebrate...maybe even throw in Episode 3 for good measure ;) [not that I don't also enjoy 1 and 2, but 3-6 are the best] Are you all shocked to find out I'm such a geek...I hope not because I like to think my geek-aura is visible to all who read my blog or tweets...
There is no Wednesday outfit this week because I was home sick and I doubt you want to see my pajamas. (If you were wondering its old gymnastics sweatpants and my younger brother's old abercrombie sweater...so comfy.) This weekend I have the house to myself so I'm planning on watching tons of movies I have recorded (or rent Thor and Captain America so I can see Avengers eventually...) I might also take a run to Marshall's, but that could be dangerous for my wallet, so I should avoid that.
[I need to find a new pose...haha]

What an icky week! It was rainy, chilly and dreary for the better part of the week but there were some moments of sunshine mixed in. I tried not to let the weather affect my clothing choices like it usually does and I think I did a pretty good job of not dressing drab. I also ate out far too much this week! A diner on Tuesday, Ruby Tuesday's on Thursday and we're getting something junky today at work (maybe Duchess hot dogs...YUM!) This weekend I get to plant some flowers my parents bought be (if it's not rainy) and I have TONS of magazines to read [2 months worth]...I've had no time lately! But I WILL get through most of them this weekend.
I also NEED to find more of these Free People skinny jeans so I can buy more and have them forever. I have loved them since the moment I bought them on Gilt Groupe but that obviously means that they are going to be hard to find again. I want the exact model, not a similar pair. (meaning this was a pointless ramble since you guys don't know what it is...I think they were called "5 Pocket Skinny Jean in midnight indigo")
Also, as many of you know by now, I'm a Harper's Bazaar Brand Ambassador. My second assignment has just come in and it's a good one! BAZAAR & L’Oréal Paris have teamed up to get you summer ready. If you send Harper’s BAZAAR proof of purchase of any L’Oréal Paris beauty product you will receive a sleek, silver tote—ultra lightweight and perfect for the beach!

This week was beautiful!! It was also my first week of leaving at 3:30 every day, I only gained an hour of time after work but it was glorious! Monday it was 85 degrees so I headed to the beach to read for an hour. The rest of the week was equally lovely but I stayed inside. I've been researching online courses in fashion so I can hopefully get my dream job soon. I was thinking of taking fashion history courses and maybe even some more marketing classes that are specifically geared toward fashion. Anyone have suggestions? I was thinking maybe Parsons... I don't really have much else to say so enough of my blabbing, here are my looks from the week!
 Monday: Dress: Ralph Lauren (Lord & Taylor), Sweater: Kohl's gift, Wedges: Burberry (The Outnet Clearance Sale) $80, Watch: Michael Kors, Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs |  Tuesday: Dress c/o Fresh Produce, Cardigan: Urban Outfitters, Wedges: Steve Madden (TJ Maxx) $20, Bracelets c/o 31 Bits, Rings: old & c/o OASAP, Watch: Michael Kors, Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs |

When I look at my weekly roundup of outfits I get very annoyed with myself... As you can see, on Monday and Tuesday my face looks lovely because I actually took the 7 minutes to put on my makeup (I timed it once). The rest of the week I was too lazy and didn't so my face looks dead, ha ha. And don't lie to me and say "ohhh your face looks great, what are you talking about," because it really doesn't ;) My outfits also decrease in awesomeness as the week goes on, another thing I need to remedy! So my goal for February is to wear makeup every day AND wear awesome outfits every day!
Does anyone have exciting plans this weekend? Saturday I plan on doing absolutely nothing and Sunday will be quite the busy day. I am getting up early to get to Target for 8am for Jason Wu for Target! I know I am going to come out with nothing but it's the thrill of the hunt I enjoy. But hopefully I do get at least one piece! Then later in the day I'm heading home to watch the Super Bowl with my family.
I also have some REALLY big news, if you follow me on Twitter you already know, but I'm going to keep you in suspense until it arrives. But if you are really curious just check my Twitter ;)
