Leopard Layers

Outfits

I am so happy to have the opportunity to work with Front Row Shop, who sent me some basics to review. This long-sleeve navy t-shirt is just what I’ve been looking for to add to my weekend wardrobe.  It is extremely soft and sheer, so perfect for layering, and it has thumb holes. I used to think thumb holes were strange and annoying, but I’ve ordered a couple tops from Ellie for working out that have them, and after wearing those, I now love thumb holes! I simply roll up the ends of the sleeves when I don’t want...

Patterned Sweater

Outfits

This open-face cardigan has been a great addition for this winter. The pattern is fun, but is easily paired with a lot in my closet, both for work and the weekend. I wore this outfit last Saturday, finally putting together a shorts + tights look even though it wasn’t the best choice for the weather (hence the indoor photos). I hope you had a great weekend, and are having a good Monday! As good as Mondays get anyway!

January Budget 2014

Fashion•Shopping

HELLO! It is already January 31st. Although it has felt like a long month (thanks to the lovely weather), it also flew by. Got back from Vegas late Tuesday night and have literally just been trying to catch up on life. Honestly, we didn’t really take many pictures, just some I captured on Instagram, so I probably won’t have much to share here! I didn’t even get a full picture in my gold sequin dress! FAIL. Epic fail. Oh well, my boyfriend and I had good time and that’s all that matters! Onto the January budget. I didn’t do...

Snowy Owl

Outfits

Who is as happy as I am about the weather warming up this weekend?! Yesterday I took the dog out in this outfit without a coat and wasn’t one bit cold while taking pictures (hooray… I have been putting off pictures because of the horrible weather). Anyway, it was such a fun weekend! Got to go bowling on Friday night for a friend’s birthday, otherwise my boyfriend and I just hung out, watched a few movies and relaxed with the pup! I love this owl t-shirt from Skip N’ Whistle, it is so fun and I can’t wait to...

Striped

Fashion•Outfits

It has officially become winter in Minnesota over the past week. Snow + below zero temperatures = a not so happy me. Although the snow is beautiful, I must admit. Anyway, wore this outfit yesterday for brunch with some girlfriends downtown. Bottomless mimosas from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.? I think YES. Okay, I actually only had a couple because I would have to venture back out in the snow as you can see in these pictures. I hope you all have a great week!

Houndstooth

Fashion

When eShakti contacted me to review one of their fall items, I was stoked because I have had such a good experience with them before (see previous posts about their dresses here and here). I decided to customize this mini houndstooth print skirt and make it a midi for a couple reasons. 1). Obviously I can now wear it to work and 2). I LOVE midis. I think they are gorgeous and modest, yet are still sexy. Anyway, once again I am astounded by the high quality of the fabric, the fit and the fact this gorgeous skirt has...

Leopard Print Scarf

Outfits

I wore this outfit to run errands this weekend because frankly I’m sick of looking like a hot mess out and about (aka orange sweatpants that are too short on me, greasy hair and a mismatching t-shirt). It was a simple fix —I put on comfy black leggings, a cute leopard print scarf and a blue blazer from Oasap to look more polished. And for my feet? My new comfortable pair of JustFab cognac boots. And there, the result is much better! So much so that when I was leaving the apartment to run errands my boyfriend asked, “going out...

October Budget

Shopping

I didn’t have very much of a plan for October, but I am happy with myself. As you can see, I got a lot of necessities (boots to get me through the winter, and a pair of black pants/black pencil skirt for work). And of course, a few great thrift finds! The above are representations of what my thrifted finds LOOK LIKE, but aren’t actually images of them. Hopefully I can share them all in some outfit posts soon! 1. Simply Vera by Vera Wang Dress (Similar) – Kohl’s $15.00 (Bought in store – couldn’t find exact online) 2....
