So here it is: my birthday dress! I automatically fell in love with the back cutout and sheer lace on the front top. Plus, I don’t own any long sleeve black dresses, so I knew I would wear this for many more occasions. My birthday masquerade was a success! I got some pictures of just my dress and shoes and will share a couple with my friends and boyfriend! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!!!!
So here is just a peek at what I wore on my birthday (this is the “night” look), where I simply changed from a pencil skirt and opaque black tights into black denim.

So I am really excited to start a new section on my blog that will also be featured under “Outfits” called the Inspiration Board.

So this is my first Bloggers Do It Better post and I am so excited about it! The assignment was sequins and I thought it would be easy… I am always drawn to sparkly and shiny pieces but I didn’t think I actually owned that many. Going through my closet I found sequin tank tops, shirts, skirts, dresses, shoes, clutches and pieces embellished with sequins. I didn’t know what to do! Then I found my red sequin top that I bought from Peacocks in the UK when I studied abroad at one semester when I was in college...
I think one of the most powerful and put together looks of all time for outerwear is the trench coat. This is why last year when I realized I was severely lacking professional outerwear, I knew I needed to find a trench coat …and on a starting salary I needed an affordable one. I literally felt like I was robbing Target when I walked out with this trendy, almost silk-like one for $19.99. I thought if it only lasted me one season, it would be worth it.
