Before I get to my tag, I figured I should show you all the pretty shoes I ordered last night from DSW!  I had 2 gift codes for $10 and $5, and then I searched and found some other codes: 10% off, $5 off, and 500 bonus points.  The shoes are $29.95 but I paid $6.96, and then tax and shipping so the total was $15.38.

But sadly...I went OVER BUDGET!! So I have nothing left for the month...I blame it on my DKNY coat :p  So I need to try not to spend money for 10 days, haha, not gonna be easy (don't think I'll make it)

Kelly & Katie Flats - DSW

Now on to the tag, Katie and A La Mode et Plus tagged me for the Getting to Know you post.  So here we go, keep in mind that I stink at answering these, haha:

What is your favorite time of the day? Hmmm....night time I suppose, I'm a big night owl which stinks now that I have to go to bed at 10 to be able to wake up at 8 (aka get in bed at 10 and read Harry Potter for an hour). I HATE mornings because I don't want to wake up, haha.
Where and when did you meet the love of your life? Hasn't happened yet.
What 3 words would your friends outside the blogging world use to describe you?  Hmm...only 3?  Crazy, Funny and Shy. (odd combo)

What country would you like to visit and why? Toughy....I think I'll say the UK. I love the accents, and London would be a great place to visit as well as all the cool castles (and of course Harry Potter filming sites)!  (or perhaps France or Australia)

What is your favorite dish to cook? To cook myself? I don't really cook much myself anymore since I still live at home but I guess I'll say shrimp scampi, soo good!  I'm more of a baker though :D

Salt or sugar? SUGAR!!! I could live off candy, but then I would gain lots of weight...actually, that's a lie. I already eat mostly sugar now, ha ha.
What are your must have make-up or beauty items? I don't wear makeup (since I have no idea how to use it...well foundation...) so I guess I'll say mascara and nail polish (if that counts).

What are your favorite flowers? Hmm....I have no idea, ermmm I don't think I have a favorite.  I like weird looking flowers, haha...snapdragons are pretty cool:

What do you think are your worst vices, honestly?  I am VERY judgmental, it doesn't mean I won't be friends with someone but I make fun of people all the time (not to their faces of course, just in my head) I know I shouldn't but I can't help it.  I'm a very nice person, just with mean thoughts XD

At what time of your life were you the happiest and why? I actually think I am happiest right now, live is actually going pretty well for me. I have a job, friends & family, and my love of Harry Potter, that's all I need! ;)  But I must say that July 9th 2009 was probably the happiest day of my life so far (HP6 premiere ;) ), until I go to the DH premiere that is, haha.

Oops! Forgot to tag people....so anyone who wants to do it, go for it! :p

Well here's another week of work outfits!  It was pretty hot so I had to dress lighter again. Tonight after work I SHOULD be heading to my aunt's brother's house in Avalon, New Jersey for a long weekend with my family (my mom, dad, little brother, grandparents, aunt & uncle & one cousin...a bunch of people can't go so that's hardly any of my extended family). There may or may not be internet access, my posts are prepared since I knew what I was going to post.

Monday Dress: American Eagle $15 Short Sleeve Blazer: Millenium $? Shoes: vanEli gift	Tuesday Top: Apt 9 gift card Sweater: Urban Behavior gift Jeans: Hollister $? Shoes: Sonoma Life and Style $15	Wednesday Dress: ASOS $17 Sweater: Hollister gift Wedges: Simply Vera $14
Thursday Skirt: Old Navy gift Top: ELLE $? Shoes: vanEli gift  (ignore the awkward pose, I got distracted XD)	Friday Dress: soprano $18 Cardigan: Urban Outfitters $0 Flats: Chaps $8.50

Also, Emily tagged me (as  the mysterious, nameless lady behind A Closet Fashionista!) so I have to say seven facts about myself and tag seven others! I'm going to be lazy and not tag anyone else, so do it if you want ;)

1. I guess I should let the secret out, my name is Meg ;)
2. I'm half French Canadian, but people always think I'm part Native American (for the record, I'm not, that would be cool though)
3. My hair is naturally straight, even though in most of the photos on here it looks wavy (I'm too lazy to let it air dry so I put it in a bun and then it dries wavy)
4. Even though I REALLY want to go to the Harry Potter premiere I am actually TERRIFIED because last year when I went, I was just helping so I didn't really have to know what to do, I just followed the person I was helping and interviewed the stars. This time I'll have to find out where I'm going, talk to people I don't know and then interview...*insert panic attack*
5. I actually love going to work and I'm really glad that I got a job right out of school, which is pretty amazing...BUT I still can't help but want to find another job that is in fashion since what I'm doing now isn't fashion :/
6. I love watching movies and I have a list of all the movies I've ever seen, all the ones I own, and all the ones I want.  (you can see it here ;) )
7. I watch WAY too much tv (mostly Funniest Home Videos, Gilmore Girls, Project Runway, Next Top Model, Wheel of Fortune...etc.)

UPDATE: Net-A-Porter also wanted me to let everyone know about a new section of their site that has items you can wear for Labor Day on Monday! Check it out!

Next, miss anonymous tagged me in this!  According to her, "the tagger asks 8 questions and the taggee (if that's even a word) answers the 8 and then tags 8 peeps to answer those questions and so the cycle continues." So here we go!

1. Describe where you think you'll be in 10 years: I hope to be working my dream job at a fashion magazine.
2. Pass the fun along to 10 other bloggers. I am way too dead to pick 10 people so I'm going to be bad and not do it...I know, shame on me XD
