Channeling Carrie

December 10, 2012

Sex & the City is just one of those shows that I could leave on repeat and never get sick of. Lately I have been watching Season 6 over and over again since it is available OnDemand.  I really should just get the whole season in the big beautiful book! (Note to self: add to Christmas wishlist).  If you are a Sex & the City fan, you probably have picked out a favorite character and I can’t help but love Carrie, for many reasons, but mostly for her passion for writing (I am a writer as well, although very different as I write about manufacturing lines and sensors, I am still passionate about writing and miss writing for my college’s newspaper) and because she NEVER gave up on love.

Even after all she went through, she still believed she would find love and share her life with someone who loved her for who she is. In the season finale episode, when Carrie is telling Alexander about the party some Parisians are throwing her because they love her book so much, she is holding onto his arm wearing a big brown fur coat, cowl neck sweater, jeans and black boots.  Well Carrie, thank you, because you inspired this outfit and helped me wear my vintage brown faux fur coat for the first time! It is SO warm and will be making many more appearances in the upcoming winter months. Here is my favorite Carrie quote…Happy Monday:

    PS I own all the DVDs, so come on over and let’s watch 🙂 I LOVE this coat! I have to admit I hate that she ended up with Big – he was such a jerk to her! Aidan is my fave!

    I’m always yelling about how SATC is still relevant, even today. And it is, not just the clothes, it’s just great.

    And so is your outfit; that coat is amazing on you!

Instagram post 2190369799895329969_46050882 Happy December friends!!!!! 2019 has been flying by and I can’t believe we are in full swing holiday season! This picture is appropriate to celebrate the holiday season & the snow storm currently happening outside 🤣 I guess we couldn’t avoid it forever! ❄️❄️❄️ anyway, just want to say Happy December and looking forward to sharing lots of holiday content soon! This look is from 2015, but I’ve linked many similar items on the @liketoknow.it app! Shop this full look >>> http://liketk.it/2HJEE #liketkit #LTKholidaystyle #LTKunder100 #LTKunder50
Instagram post 2173457516695079584_46050882 [AD] The results are in, and they are RADIANT! My skin is glowing thanks to the Olay Regenerist Rentinol24 Night Moisturizer. I've been using this for the past few weeks in place of my regular nightly moisturizer and was so blown away by the immediate results. I have noticed so many differences in my skin, including my skin looking plumper, increased firmness, increased brightness, increased smoothness and reduced acne scarring. This night cream is going to be my go-to moisturizer for a LONG time. Not only do I get the great benefits of using a retinol, which by the way, I saw ZERO irritation with this product, I also get the great hydrating formula I've seen with other Olay moisturizers. If you want to learn more, check out the link in my bio -  http://spr.ly/luna-114 - and be sure to watch my most recent YouTube video where I share MORE about my experience over the past few weeks with the @olay #Retinol24 line. #Olay #beautyblogger
Instagram post 2159842770729043350_46050882 #ad You guys, I'm SO excited to introduce the new @Olay Retinol24 collection! I had an amazing time opening my SKIN-MERGENCY kit (SEE the full and hilarious experience of me "breaking" into the kit of the new products on my Instagram stories!) Over the next four weeks I will be using these three new products by replacing my daily moisturizer with the Olay Regenerist Retinol24 and using both the Retinol24 serum and eye cream at night as well. Stay tuned, as I will be sharing my FULL results with these retinol products and the benefits I see. Check out my stories for even more information on my experience with retinol so far! #Retinol24 #Olay
Instagram post 2156326599509839385_46050882 I’m a couple days late, but what else is new? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Happy Anniversary babe! @rollbieck 10.14.17 was the most amazing day and I can’t believe how much has changed/we’ve done in the past two years
.
.
We said yes to this journey called life together and I’m so excited for the new adventure we’re on. I’m so fortunate to have someone who respects me and loves me tirelessly. Who let me pursue my dreams to move to the East Coast. Who supported this crazy dream of mine to move to Boston and “figure it out as we go”... who was willing to sacrifice for me to do what I want and love. Thank you endlessly for giving me this opportunity to be selfish and pursue what I love!
.
.
Marriage is also truly in good times and bad... because we’ve had plenty of unexpected and scary things happen the past couple years... but through the worst times, we found strength in each other and our love. It’s hard to understand the why sometimes, but I’ve always had you, we’ve always had each other!
.
.
So thank you again for everything! This past year has been our biggest adventure yet! I can’t wait to see what we do and accomplish this next year... love you Joe ❤️❤️❤️ #anniversary #rslbwedding #OurSobieckStory #TrampelingintoSobieck

Instagram post 2144622350014939974_46050882 I missed the obligatory 1st day of fall pic, so instead here’s my last day of September pic (because we all know tomorrow is way more important than the first day of fall 👻). This is a throwback to my leopard print style in 2015 but still rocking all the leopard print currently! Happy {almost} October 🎃 and happy fall! #leopardprint #fallstyle #wiw #rachelslookbook
