Happy New Year!
OutfitsHere we are… in 2012! Happy New Year… just wanted to share my dress and a picture of my friends and me from last night 🙂 I was wearing a green strapless dress that I ordered from Lulus and was so excited to wear green! I also wanted a dress that still had some sparkle, so this was perfect! And it ended up working out great because my friends and I somehow planned a black, white and green theme last night 😉 The dress is still available online at Lulus in fuchsia. Have a wonderful first day of the...
A New Day…A New Year…A New Goal
UncategorizedI must say that it is SO true… every year flies by faster as you get older and I never wanted to believe it. But 2011 came and went in the blink of an eye. 2011 was a life changing year for me: new city, new apartment, new friends, new job and a new after-work activity: my blog! Part of me is still thinking “Rachel, why didn’t you just wait until 2012 to officially start your blog?” A new start to a new year would have been a really motivating way to get going. But it is something I’ve...
Class Act
OutfitsI have been dying to get a faux fur collared-cardigan or faux fur vest for my winter wardrobe, but I’m glad I held off because I found something so much better! One weekend I discovered these fur scarves (of course because I love to touch things when I shop, this is also why I get kicked out of museums) shopping at the Albertville outlets just north of Minneapolis and was so excited because of how versatile they are. I bought one in gray/black and tan/brown to ensure it covered all the items in my closet! By lining the collar...
One Sweater Four Ways
OutfitsAlthough it might not be as cold as I’m used to for this time in the Midwest, I still have been running to my sweaters as an easy item to throw on, wear casually or dress up. As you may remember, I posted on light-weight sweaters here, but here are four additional looks I put together for different ways to wear one. The “At the Office” look was inspired by V at Stylishlyme who put together such a chic look with a cable knit and pleated skirt that I so badly wish I was wearing to the office each and every...
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
UncategorizedMerry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I hope you have a wonderful day, with family, friends or just taking the day to relax. I had a wonderful Christmas with my family in Iowa and am looking forward to spending tonight and my day off tomorrow with my boyfriend. Sorry about the lack of posts, with the holidays I wanted to put that first, so hopefully I will be back to it this week! Safe travels as you make the trip home after all the celebrations! Who else is looking forward to New Year’s Eve?!
Christmas Decor
UncategorizedSo I know it may be a little late to be posting about Christmas decorations (should have been doing this on December 1st, right?!), but honestly I finally just got around to taking pictures of everything this weekend… thanks to my parents and my boyfriend’s parents requesting that we do so. Anyway, here is how I decorated the apartment! I was so, so, SO excited about the fireplace… this is the first time I have ever had one to decorate with stockings!
Winter Trio
BeautySo thanks to my impulsive buying habits, I picked up these three new shades of nail polish last night while picking up some other NEEDED items… but when I brought them home, I was glad they ended up in my basket. As I have been looking for some new colors for the winter months (rather than my typical go-to ruby red shimmer shade), I realized I am pretty set for upcoming events.
