Breakfast at Tiffany's

Because sometimes you have to channel your inner Audrey. I am so excited for the weekend, this has been a long week. I love Saturdays for snuggling with my favorites, indulging in some yummy food, and even getting some errands done. Alright, so maybe it's not riveting, but it's my kind of day!

Doily or cardigan?

I've run into this problem before with items of clothing being able to double as a table cloth. I suppose I'm just all about fashion and utility. This adorable lace cover up was purchased at Nordstrom (pause for shock). I loved pairing it with these new Calvin Klein pumps, originally $120 and I got them for $40!! Talk about a steal. This color may be lacking in color, but it's definitely not lacking in texture.

Rocking the rockstud

I love my job, but working in non-profit isn't well known for bringing in major dough. This is all fine with me until I laid eyes on those Valentino rockstud pumps that rocked (pun intended) the blogging and fashion world last year. These puppies were around $1,000!!! Yeeeaahhh...too rich for my blood. You can only imagine my delight at finding these BCBGeneration knock offs for a meer $80! I'm absolutely in love and now I can rock the studs with the best of them!

Date Night/Blog-versary

One year ago today...I embarked on this blogging journey and haven't looked back since! It has been so amazing to receive so much love from friends, family, and wonderful strangers! I now have a growing fashion blog, an Indy Style Blogger group, and a community of fellow bloggers to emulate. Thank you to everyone for your support and for stopping by my little adventure!

Anywho, date night...

Aaron and I attempt to have one wonderful night devoted to each other; because work, family, friends, and random stresses take precedence during the week. Friday night we went out to Drakes and enjoyed some delicious fare paired with even more delicious beer! Afterwards, we headed to Cooper's Hawk to pick up our monthly wine and of course partake in their super fun and yummy wine tastings. It's so nice when we get to spend quality time together and indulge in both unhealthy and non-budget friendly activities. We try to stay healthy and on budget 5-6 days a week, so it's important to us to allow ourselves some fun! 

My look for the evening was this freaking adorable top I snagged at Nordstrom, in their Savvy department. It is slightly cropped, so I figured these high waisted jeans would be a great pairing. I don't usually wear heels, but if not on date night, when? I love these bootie/sandal/pumps from Shoedazzle! I put links to super cute similar options below. Topping off any look with a clutch is perfect for a chic night out on the town!

What's your date night like?

Culottes? I think yes!

Lilac, lavender, light ass purple...whatever you want to call it, this is my new favorite color for Spring. I found this beautiful top at Von Maur on sale and I was instantly sold! I also found these amazing culottes for just $19!! The two pieces together pair perfectly and make for a great look for a night out on the town. I had to throw on a statement piece, since the two items are pretty neutral and with that 'top off' the outfit was set. This pastel trend is making my heart melt and my spirits rise up to the trend-casion. Stay posted, because a pastel pink will eventually make it to the blog too!

p.s. remember that amazing clutch I got in a recent Le Tote?? My amazing bf noticed my extreme sadness to send it back and ended up finding it and giving it to me for my birthday!

Work Wear Wednesday: Neon

Another day another dollar. If you were looking for a work motto for the day, there ya go!
I had a fun time getting ready this morning, because I found these amazing neon pants that have been hiding for almost a year in my Spring wardrobe, they are also one piece from the top 10 remix challenge I'm following, details below! I love the bright fun color and they are super comfortable, which is key when dressing for work. I needed to pair them with something a little more subtle, since I'm not trying to burn my co-worker's retinas. I opted for this adorable new top from the Loft. I love pairing black and white with a pop of color, it really makes for a treat for the eyes!

Top 10 Remix Challenge:
From the fabulous mind behind Sarah's Real Life comes a great fashion challenge, check it out and join the fun!

Here's the gist: "All you have to do is pick ten things from your closet that you think are the epitome of your style, and then work at least one of those ten things into each outfit you wear for the month."

Working girl

I recently indulged in my favorite movie of all time...Working Girl! It's a lovely story of woman in the 80's cutting off her crimped mullet and becoming a success! Well, there's more to it than that, she also get with Harrison Ford. Not bad girl, not bad. Granted, none of this has to do with my look today except that it's a work look and my hair is a little bigger than usual!
