Sunday Spree: BR, F21 & Nine West

Wednesday is HERE...wow! It's been a hectic week at work, and I've got to say that I'm not disappointed that half the week is over! I'm looking forward to the weekend. Lifetime movies and wine sounds just about right. :)

I should of posted this a few days ago, but I scored some great items this past weekend at Banana Republic, Forever 21 and Nine West. I am in love with the Spring collections featured in the storefronts. The colors are fun, bright and cheerful. And I was getting a little sick of seeing blacks and browns this past winter.

Accident Prone.

Ask the BF. I'm always falling, tripping, and running into something. I've always been accident prone since I was a child. My mother used to say that I had at least one band-aid affixed to my body at any given time. Lol. Well this morning, I was getting ready for work and didn't realize that I closed the sliding door that goes out to my porch. Yup...if you haven't guessed already, I walked into the glass door. Owwwwccchhh! My head was literally pounding for an hour or so afterwards. I must say I'm proud of myself...I was a trooper. I had a client photo shoot to supervise and an event today that I just couldn't miss. I put ice in a little sandwich baggy and darted out the door.

Outfit Picks :: I knew I'd be running around today, so I decided to wear the MOST comfortable pair of paints I own. They are super long...which I love, and I finally got to wear my denim jacket. I haven't worn this jacket for probably a good year!

Top :: Banana Republic (purchase similar here)

Jacket :: GAP (purchase similar here)

Pants :: Old Navy (purchase similar here)

Shoes :: Jessica Simpson (last seen here)

...and just for kicks and giggles, I wanted to share the following compilation of Tim Taylor's Home Improvement accidents. I used to love that show! Well, let's be honest here. This video made me feel much, much better :)



Are you accident Prone?

A New York Weekend

My amazing view of Times Square, from the 55th floor.

Will New York City ever get old? Every time I visit, I fall in love with it all over again. The people. The food. The entertainment. Never a dull moment.

Enjoy your weekend ladies!

Learning to love Pink...well Mauve!

Thanks for sharing your opinions in my last post. I've decided to purchase not one watch, but two! One a bit funky and "different" and another I can wear everyday, to the office, client meet and greets, out with friends, etc. Infact, I'll be heading to New York City on Thursday for meetings, and I've planned a dedicated "watch/jewelry" shopping trip for the weekend. Can't wait!

Outfit Picks :: I've never been a fan of the color pink, but when I saw this top (it's really mauve, but hey, it's still in the pink family...right?), I knew it would be a nice peice to add to my wordrobe. Today was an easy outfit day for me... cropped pants, shell top, black blazer and "almost flat" wedges. Eghhh...some days, easy is just what I need. :)

Top :: Old Navy

Pants :: Express (last seen here,)

Blazer :: Zara (purchase similar here)

Shoes :: Merona for Target (last seen here, purchase here)

Is there a color you just refuse to wear? What about a color that takes over your closet?

Congrats Contest Winner!

This post is long overdue, however, a spontaneous beach trip to Tampa this weekend has me a little out of order. I'm not spontaneous at all. My life is very structured and calculated. My boyfriend has a tendency to ruffle my feathers at times and thank God. My life would be, well....quite boring without him. lol. The sun showed it's face all weekend, and the brisk, fresh ocean breeze kept the temperature cool. Did the weekend have to end so quickly?
