I'm Still Here...

Hi guys! I've been SO crazy with work and not really wearing anything fashionable! For those of you who follow me you know my fall uniform is the blue polo. Ughhh...almost done guys, almost done! Sorry I've been so MIA! I'm going to have to come back with some kind of fun challenge. Any ideas?!?! Anyhoo- here are some recent outfits! Sorry about the horrid photo quality! I am not sure why the iPhone 5 isn't taking great pics. Until sometime soon lovelies!!! J

Hello (Almost) Fall!

It's in the air...the cool mornings, the shorter days (boo), Fashion Week...ahh fall is on the way! YAY! I think we are all ready for a change of wardrobe and to pull out the boots, scarves, and layers. I've kinda had end of summer brain recently and haven't been motivated to do much besides daydream. Here is an update with some outfits that I missed. I haven't even captured all of them lately. I need a new challenge!  It will have to be post health fair season since all I wear then is my baby blue polo. Stay tuned... I'll come up with something!
Sorry in advance for my out of order pics... :-(

Polka Dot Mania!


No your eyes are not playing tricks on you...my pants have teeny tiny polka dots on them. I figured I'd go all out today with my love of dots! Dots and peplum...two of my favs. I sure hope they don't end up on the "out" list anytime soon. Well, peplum might, but I think that stripes and polka dots are two patterns that are ALWAYS in! LOVE love love! Here are some additional ensemble photos! I have been a little challenged with getting dressed and thus adding my posts here bc we've had our pipes replaced in our condo recently. A part of the prep for that was removing almost EVERYTHING from my closet. Since we have basically the guest room and the living room to stack all of the items from our kitchen, bathrooms, and various closets, I've been having a hard time climbing over piles of various stacked boxes and garments. This tells me two things...1. I have entirely too many clothes and 2. THANK GOODNESS for a nice size walk in closet for perusing and outfit planning! Whew! I hang pretty much everything except for PJs, workout clothes and jeans, so to have everything hanging and organized, making it SO much easier to plan and visualize. They are done with the work, so this weekend I am putting it all back together and working on some major purging as well!! Wish me luck! :-)

So I realized that I've been wearing my silver, Nine West gladiators a lot lately. Not sure why (they are like 2 years old at least!), but I'm loving them! They are kinda fancier that other flats I have and seem to go well from day to night to work and so on... Friday night was a concert, Saturday was a bridal shower and late lunch with the hubs, and then I've got work outfits from yesterday and today. I didn't capture Sunday- not sure why. Totally forgot! We went to brunch and then spent most of the day getting stuff done at home. My brunch outfit was cute though! I will post a redo soon of that one. Here goes...

What Is That... Velvet?!?!

So...read that title in a husky/raspy, masculine voice with a NY (specifically Queens) accent! Name that movie line!!!! It's from one of my (thank to the hubs) FAV movies of all times...anyone anyone?! It's from "Coming to America". That part where they go to the barbershop in their very not NYC looking, royal attire and realize they need to assimilate a little more. When I wear this shirt I swear it photographs with a velvety look. It's NOT velvet, I promise. It's like a smooth, shiny (probably synthetic and not found in nature:-( ) fabric of some sort. Anyway, moving on. Here is today's ensemble:

Skinnies- Old Navy
Top-Old Navy
Shoes- Target
Belt- Kohl's
Necklace- ??? Kohl's??
Earrings- Lia Sophia


Quick one today all! Until tomorrow lovelies!

How Did I Get Dressed Before I Owned a Chambray Shirt?!















I mean seriously?! I LOVE my 3, count them THREE chambray shirts and never really knew how versatile they were! I still want to add one more in a lighter color denim. They can be worn with many bottoms, as a layering piece, in warm weather, cool weather...etc. I plan to scan some of my favorite fashion bloggers to see how they are wearing them. I had to look back to see when I last wore one- it was about 3 weeks ago so I'm OK. I don't want to wear it out! :-) Happy hump day all!!
Skirt: Old Navy
Chambray top- Target
Shoes- Kohl's
Necklace- Target
Bangle- Bauble Bar
Earrings- Kohl's

Fitting in Exercise at Work!

I was doing a fitness demo at work today for folks to fit in exercise while they work. So, I had to be biz casual but with movement potential. We told our participants that they could come in work attire, so I couldn't very well show up in workout clothes! What's a fashionista to do?! These comfy skinnies and top I can move in did the trick! I kicked off my wedges and we were on to chair squats, lunges, wall push ups and desk tricep dips. It was a good ol' time!
The rundown...
Pin ItSkinnies: Worn Jeans from Nordstrom
Tank: Old Navy
Top: Rubbish from Nordstrom
Shoes: Gossip on 23rd
Necklace and earrings: Calamarie Isn't it GORG!??!!! It's made of orange peels and some kind of nut. All the jewelry sold by Calamarie is eco-friendly and supports women artisans from Columbia! What an amazing company!! Please check them out for all of their gorgeous wares. Love their jewels and their owner, Catalina! XO Here's a closer look...Don't you want one?!?! I want them ALL! :-)

 Until tomorrow lovelies...

I HEART NYC!

Had a FAB and fast weekend in the big apple! A old friend and I had a quick Fri Pm - Sun AM girls jaunt to this magical city. I just love it there. I still think/fantasize that we should live there for just a year to experience the culture, energy, and excitement! We'll see. For now, I'll enjoy my brief visits as much as I can. I only captured one outfit the whole time though I plan to throw the Friday and Sunday travel outfits on again and have the hubs take some photos. I will do this soon- possibly tonight. For now, I'll share my Saturday daytime outfit. I knew we were going to do a lot of walking (shopping and exploring Central Park were our main activities) I felt comfy but not touristy, which to me is the perfect fashion combo when visiting ANY city. You want to fit in, but dress smart. It's not quite possible to dress as chic as natives since we're doing the "walk a ton" tourist thing, but I still can find something to rock that doesn't involve a fanny pack and white sneakers! HA! Neither of which I own, btw... ;-)

I've included my Sat outfit as well as my work outfit today. Happy Monday all!
I didn't crop it as I love the background of central park. Not only the beautiful greenery and  huge rock, but also the man playing the violin in the background! I LOVE Central Park and all of its energy!
Sat ensemble:
Shorts- Old Navy
Top- Old Navy
Belt- Old Navy
Shoes- Nine West
Necklace- Lia Sophia
Bag- TJ Maxx-Franco Sarto
Watch- Timex Weekender
Bangles- Macy's and boutique from the beach
Earrings- Kohl's

7/29/13:
Skinnies- Old Navy
Top- Old Navy
Necklace/earrings- NYC market find!
Shoes- Target
Bangles- Ivory/gold- Stella & Dot, the rest from a friend
Necklace detail. Fun! I almost bought it in coral too, but it's too unique to have two in the SAME style but different color. :-(




Until tomorrow lovelies...
