I love all things fashion, travel, and luxury! Finding cute clothes, fabulous new shoes or accessories makes me absolutely giddy with excitement. This blog is a place for me to write about new finds, obsessions, raves and faves... and a temporary escape from what is otherwise a corporate-driven life. Enjoy!

Pinspiration: Timeless glam

Oh, the irony of Pinterest.  It inspires even when you have no creativity left in you, then leaves you with little to no time to act on that inspiration. :) My eye was instantly drawn to these i...

So many cardigans

I probably have over 40 cardigans in my closet. I swear I have almost every color there is - yet every time I go shopping, I browse through the cardigan sections as if I need another. Im not sure why...

Typical

Still trying to incorporate more brights into my winter looks... this look is suuuuuper typical of my work style. Classic navy trousers, white button down - funny how I put on this patterned scarf an...

Winter casual prep

Seems like forever since Ive done an outfit post. Winter outfits are just... complicated. For starters - the fact that this outfit has no black in it makes it an exception to my typical winter wardro...

Surviving your work week: Its the Little Things

Surviving your work week: Office to Happy Hour

With as much time as Ive been spending at the office, I thought I would write series of posts dedicated to powering through a tough work week with style.  For me, part of surviving a brutal week...

Bangles: my love/hate accessory

I have to admit that as much as I LOVE the look of bangles stacked on my wrist, I have issues with wearing them.  I have my reasons.  For starters, most often I have trouble even getting ou...

Designer Obsession: Jason Wu

My obsession with Jason Wu began last July.  As I was shopping for a birthday dress, a sales person convinced me to try on this dress (although it was roughly $1K above my price range)... and I ...

Cozy and Classic

Trench

First blog DIY - Guest room wallpaper

So when I moved into this loft, one of the most aesthetically-challeneged rooms was this guest room. The walls are at an odd angle, the headboard wall is about 20 ft fall (not an exaggeration), and t...

Happy Pants

I got these slim, cropped blue pants at AT Loft last weekend and I was SO happy to have found them there. I love the color, can think of tons of looks to put together with them, and they are NOT GREY...

Here we go

To say that I am not looking forward to going back to work would be SUCH an understatement.  Its not the work or job that I mind, its just that Ive really enjoyed my time off.  Being able t...

Need a little color

Clearly a tan is out of the question, but I needed to perk up my entirely too predictable black/grey ensemble with at least a little color. How do we feel about fuchsia? Good? Great. Im so glad that ...

More rain

Rain. ALL THE TIME lately. And cold. Friday was a stupid cold, rainy mess. My cure for this is more cow bell Hunter boots. I am a creature who needs the sun. As soon as the weather was nice on Saturd...

Those other days

Not long after I started this blog, a good friend at work asked does having this blog now make you feel pressure to dress better for work every day?  Hmmm.  What a great question.  My ...
