Guess what today is... My 4 year blog anniversary! I can't believe it's been four years since I started this little blog. In those years I've met new friends, some of which have become real life friends too. I started this blog not planning to post any outfits, and now 4 years later I have shared over 450 outfits. I've done a photoshoot for one of my favorite online stores and was chosen to be part of Marshalls Project Fab. Slowly but surely this blog is helping me overcome my fear of social situations, something I've struggled with for years. And now it's on to the next adventure!
Apparently I was into green this week, ha ha. It was gorgeous, weather-wise this week, except for bits of rain, which are only fun when you're able to be inside with a blanket watching movies.

Guess what guys...I was able to go tight-less this week!!! It's a miracle! On Tuesday I was brave and decided to forgo tights AND a coat. My legs were mostly covered up by my boots while walking to work since I obviously didn't walk in heels. Let's cross our fingers that this weather is here to stay, although we are supposed to get rain again - yuck! I hope it's nice on Saturday in the least.

Friday again! This week actually went by pretty quickly, which I am glad of. I've been super tired lately and waking up at 5:30 wasn't helping the situation. Thankfully I was able to stay home yesterday too so I caught up on a little more sleep since I was able to sleep until 9. But now I can have a nice, relaxing weekend! So far no plans, I'll probably catch up on all the old movies I have DVR-ed.

Happy second Day of Spring! Hopefully Mother Nature decides to give us some Spring-like weather soon instead of 30s (°F). I think all this temperature hopping really messed with my body. I got sick Monday night so I took Tuesday off, and worked from home the rest of the week. I hardly ever get sick so when it happens it really knocks me out, I don't want to eat, do anything...and I go to bed even earlier than usual.
Rather than save my one outfit for next week I'm sharing it today anyway. I had all my outfits for the week picked out so now I have 2 outfits all ready to go for next week, I love not having to think!

This was another short week, working in the office-wise. After the Oscars on Sunday I stayed over at a friends house and drove back home in the morning so I obviously wasn't going into the city that day. And then we had my regular Wednesday and Friday at home, so only 2 work outfits to share!
The weather should hopefully be getting warmer now. Crossing my fingers we are at least in the 40s rather than the 30s. Does anyone have exciting weekend plans? I don't, but that's fine by me. I need to catch up on all the movies I've been recording. I have been watching so many "new" lately, it's madness! And by new, I mean mostly movies from the 30s-50s.

Apparently I was in a black and white mod this week, with a little purple/burgundy thrown in. I made it through a week (well, three days) without wearing jeans! But this weekend I predict will be jean junction. Yes, I know that makes no sense, but I like an alliteration.
I hope everyone has exciting weekend plans. I'm making my monthly visit to my aunt and uncle's house for a massage (for me) and website updates (for my aunt.) Then I will hopefully go to a friend's house to watch the Oscars, but there is an impending snowstorm that might foil those plans.

I hope everyone had a good week. Four day weeks are always great in my opinion. Every day this week I kept thinking it was a day earlier, so today really feels like Thursday...but it's Friday. Score!
Now that I'm only going into the office three days a week I'm going to try and up my style game and not wear jeans as often (only once a week.) But I have a feeling that won't last too long, I love my jeans! I wore an old favorite (Marc Jacobs blazer) and new favorite (Veronica Beard dress) this week. Hopefully my new jean-limit forces me to wear pieces I haven't worn in a while too. And pieces that I have been neglecting, even though I love them.

Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you guys have fun plans. I do have a date, but not that kind. I'm going to see Alton Brown Live with one of my friends, yay! It was a last minute decision because her other friend cancelled on her, but hey, works out for me. We're doing a private meet & greet before hand which should be fun. Good Eats is one of my favorite cooking shows so I'm pretty excited!
I'm starting my new schedule at work, where I go in Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and work from home Wednesday and Friday. Woo, one extra day at home! But this week we had the snowstorm so things were a little wacky, the same will be true of next week because we get Monday off.

Well the snow screwed up this week pretty nicely. I only went into work for 2 days, luckily I had both my outfits planned already so I didn't even need to think about it. They may look familiar as they're the outfit posts from this week.
But in these photos you get a teensy look at my new bedroom arrangement. Hopefully I'll have it fully organized soon so I can share it with you! Still have some odds and ends to fix up, like rearranging artwork and putting a curtain on my closet since I had to take the doors off to fit my furniture.

The first few days back at work after a vacation are always the worst, aren't they? At least I only had to wake up early 2 days this week. Since I was still pretty exhausted from my trip I went for super comfortable outfits. Stay tuned next week for some posts about vacation. Light on the words today.

Ahh Friday, my second favorite day of the week. Saturday is obviously my favorite because you don't have to worry about anything: no work the next day, you can do anything you want during the day and stay up late. Sunday is okay, but like Meg Ryan says in Kate & Leopold, it gets spoiled because you know you have to go to work Monday. I've got quite a large amount planned for this long weekend. Probably starting with a trip to Marhsalls on Saturday, then going to a fun gemstone place with my sister, and on Sunday getting my nails done with my best friends and we will probably go out to eat and see Frozen after.
Right when I get back into the groove of going back to the office 4 days a week I have a crazy week ahead of me. Next Monday the office is closed, I'm going in on Tuesday, then Wednesday I'm working at home and then I'm off Thursday - Monday for my trip to Florida. I'm headed to the Harry Potter Celebration weekend they're having at Universal. My sister and I planned to go months ago and bought our tickets and then earlier this week Universal emailed me asking if I would like to cover the event for my site, magical-menagerie.com, score!

Monday it was back to the office after 2 glorious weeks working from home. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy going to the office and getting dressed. But when I get 3 extra hours sleep and don't have to do my 5 hour round trip commute I am just so much more bright and happy. It also helps that I don't have to go to bed at 10pm like an old lady. But it was back to business this week.

Happy Friday before Christmas! We're in the home stretch now! I have quite a busy weekend planned. Tonight starts our official movie watching as a family. We have a schedule for the last few days, but the weeks leading up we watch whatever movies we feel like. Tonight is It's a Wonderful Life. Then tomorrow I'm headed to my Aunt's and Sunday I'm going to see The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. I was supposed to go last Saturday but the snow ruined it. Sunday night we're watching Holiday Inn & White Christmas, two of my favorites. But, my absolute favorite (the whole family's actually) is saved for the 23rd: Scrooge with Albert Finney. It's a musical - if you haven't seen it... DO IT! I have to work on Monday, but hopefully it won't be too crazy. Then I'm off Tuesday and Wednesday and it's back to work on Thursday. BUT we get to work from home until January 2nd when we're due back a the office!
You'll notice a big change in my photos this week. I got a hair makeover for one of the websites at work (I'll post the link when the feature is live). I was hoping for an Emma Stone look (like this) but it turned out a little shorter than I was expecting so it's taking a little time to adjust. I'm not fond of short hair on myself but it does look cute when it's curled. The problem is - I don't know how to do it myself! I didn't wash my hair for as long as I could so the original curls would last. Guess I have a mission over the next few weeks - find an affordable and easy to use curling iron, and learn how to use it. A co-worker told me to get the Beachwaver, and others recommend a curling wand. But those are all a bit expensive so I might end at Target or I'll see if I can get lucky and find something for a great price at Marshalls.
Also, I've been trying out a new fragrance this week thanks to my position as a Harper's Bazaar Style Ambassador! It's called The One by Dolce & Gabanna and it is available at ShopBazaar.com! It is a Limited Edition fragrance for women in a polished gold bottle with notes of mandarin, lychee, peach, a base of lily, and finished with a touch of warm. It definitely has potential to become one of my signature scents!

Happy Friday! We're less than 2 weeks until Christmas - YAY! I've got quite a lot of plans this weekend. Tomorrow I'm going to see The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug with my best friend and then our other best friend is meeting us for lunch. She doesn't like Lord of the Rings...for shame! Then Saturday night my family from Ohio is arriving for a few days, so the rest of the weekend will be spent with them!
Apparently I went Chanel crazy on Wednesday, ha ha. I have always wanted to wear the skirt and blazer together and I wanted to wear comfortable flats - so I chose my new Chanel flats. Funny how I bought them all over the past year at Roundabout Resale for far less than retail and they all go perfectly together! The reason I wanted to wear comfortable shoes was because I was going to an event at the Coach flagship store on 5th avenue for #ChatWithCoach with Karlie Kloss and Eva Chen (Lucky Magazine editor). It was so much fun, I'll be posting about it next week!
Also, Jen tagged me in this sweater weather thing. I'm going to be bad and not tag other people.
1. Favorite candle scent? Midsummer Night from Yankee Candle has been my favorite for a long time
2. Coffee, Tea, or Hot Chocolate? Hot chocolate, no coffee or tea for me.
3. Do you switch up your makeup routine for the season? Not really.
4. Favorite Thanksgiving food? Turkey (of course) and my mom's Rice & Beans (a Jamaican thing)
5. Hats or scarves? Scarves, I don't look very good in hats.
6. Most worn sweater? I'm not sure, I wear them all quite a lot.
7. Must have Fall nail polish? Chanel Vamp, one of my favorites.
8. Football games or jumping in a pile of leaves? Jumping in a pile of leaves
9. Skinny jeans or leggings? Skinny jeans!
10. Boots or Uggs? Boots!
11. What is your #1 favorite thing about Fall? Too many things! The colors and the smell mostly
12. Best fragrance for fall? I don't really wear much perfume, but when I do wear it, it's Marc Jacobs Dot
13. Favorite Fall TV Show? New show? Reign on the CW, I'm in love with it! [side note: the guy who places Francis had a teeny role in Harry Potter, he played young Dumbledore. Sadly most of his stuff was cut but he is in a photo]

The first week of December has come and gone. Pretty soon it will be Christmas. Woohoo! But I don't want it to come too fast. I need to enjoy the Christmas music and movies for a long time. I took a night off from Christmas movies last night to watch The Sound of Music Live with Carrie Underwood. It was so fun, did you watch? The Sound of Music is one of my favorite movies so I enjoyed seeing it done this way. Carrie did a great job.
Moving on, here are my outfits from this week! We had some nice, warm-ish weather so on Wednesday I didn't even need my coat (I did put on my big French Connection vest though.)
And last Wednesday's outfit:

Less than a week until Thanksgiving! But there are 2 other things to be excited about for next week. Number 1 - a short work week! YAY! Number 2, my favorite, getting our Christmas Tree on Friday! But let's not get ahead of ourselves. First: the weekend! This weekend I'll be having date night with Christine and Lydia thanks to Marshalls Project Fab! Then Sunday I will relax and hang out with the family at Grandma's.
This week I FINALLY got to debut my crazy velvet Balenciaga pants I got for $30 (I know!) at Roundabout Resale in Westport. I always find the best pieces there. Case in point: my Lanvin heels from Thursday. Always get so many compliments on them and I paid a measly $80. Okay...that is technically a lot, but not compared to the $900 price tag. My outfits this week are also full of Marshalls and TJ Maxx finds. As you can see I never pay full price for fabulous!
