i have been gone for far too long on here, and it is time for that to change. there’s nothing like an awards show to kickstart you, so here i am. thanks to me starting a new role at work a few months ago things have gotten a bit crazy, but blogging has always been a great creative outlet for me and it’s time for me to get back into it. so without further adieu, let’s get into it.

i am a tv fiend… there are way too many shows that i watch, which my netflix, hulu, and amazon accounts can attest. so while i sit here watching the emmys, trying to catch a glimpse of my faves from silicon valley, snl, outlander, game of thrones, and catastrophe (to name a few), there are a few outfits that caught my eye.

i think we can all agree that priyanka chopra looks red-hot (get it?) and also a little bit like the dancing woman emoji.

if you want to talk about a look that is stylish, cool, and very put together (but doesn’t require a lot of effort), then jeans and pointy-toe pumps are the move. a few years ago i never would have said this… if you had asked me my thoughts on pointed pumps i probably would have laughed, but my how things have changed. if you’re going for something classic, this style of shoes can help you get there. now they may not be the most comfortable, depending on height and the padding on the sole, but at least you know that your jeans will feel good. so throw on a jean shirt, a white button down or an oversized sweater, slip on your favorite jeans, and slide into your pumps and you’re good to go. these are some of my favorite affordable options: nine west tatiana, sam edelman dea, bcbgeneration treasure and these are some you can lust after: christian louboutin pigalle folies and gianvito rossi roma.

spring style

all about these aquatic beauties | my favorite nude lip color for spring | the perfect bag for carrying around everything you need | loving the hardware on this necklace | a great go-to dress | my favorite springtime scent | some lighter vans for the lighter weather | the perfect color-correcting skin solution | my number one ~light, airy, and sultry~ perfume | a “throw it on and go” kind of sweater

i am counting my blessings thanks to the fact that spring is here and the weather is slowly warming up. my winter wardrobe consists of a lot of black, taupes, and grays (shocking new york wardrobe, i know) and now that the warmer weather is here i may or may not start adding some subtle pops of color into my wardrobe. i mean a wore a red skirt yesterday, which resulted in some comments about the shocking addition of color to my wardrobe. i’ll still be sticking to my blacks and grays, but whites, creams, blushes, blues, neutrals, prints, and greens will be making an appearance. i guess it’s time to embrace the rainbow (or a few colors in it).

{ absolutely adore this look… a.k.a. i could see myself living in it }

my friends were visiting me the other weekend and pointed out something that was pretty obvious about my style taste: i love neutrals & i stick to what works. so when they saw my different shoes, that all had a theme (otk suede boots, ankle strap, simple heeled sandals, and so on) and a similar color story i laughed. it’s true, i’m a creature of habit… i will add something different in every once in a while, but blacks, tans, grays, browns, and whites are kind of my favorite. when the spring rolls around a colored lip or a maybe a colored skirt may make an appearance, but it depends on the day. i think my taste (which is pretty singular, if you can’t tell already) explains my love for the blogger brooklyn blonde. her looks are all right up my alley and she pulls otk boots off like nothing i’ve seen before. if you’re looking for some outfit inspiration, you should head her way!

holiday dining

kind of loving this coat for when it finally starts to get cold

i watched elf last night and honestly these are some of the reasons it will never get old

this seems like the perfect thing to wear on christmas morning

my love for this print is very real (but what’s also real is the price tag…)

getting adele tickets was a saga, but it was a saga that ended successfully for me… my excitement is pretty hard to contain

waiting for this suitcase to be back in stock (i’ve had the same one since i was in elementary school and it needs an upgrade)

thrillist put out a guide to my neighborhood and i’m all about it, especially the friedman’s shoutout

emily schuman will always be a favorite of mine 

google released their 2015 year in review and i was teary by the end… but 2012’s will always be my favorite 

looks i love

let’s talk about the fact that two big things are happening right now…

1. i am in d.c. again, my second home, for homecoming weekend. this is my first time going to homecoming as an alum, which is insane. four years ago i never would have imagined myself at this stage in my life. by this stage in my life i mean sitting in a starbucks, working remotely for my job, and being a young professional. but surprise, here i am!

2. fall is here, and we all know what that means… hunkering down, getting comfy, fall food, and fall fashion. it’s time for me to break my jeans, sweaters, flannels, and button downs out. i love the idea of pairing a strappy heel with jeans and a button down/flannel, or throwing on a leather skirt with a sweater, high boots, and knee high socks. fall fashion is also the best because it’s the time of year where i finally start to cool down. no joke, i don’t really get cold, mostly hot, which means that summer can be rough. now that the weather is changing i’m in my element, and while it sounds cliche, it’s the best. as you know by now, i love to follow fashion/lifestyle blogs (surprise, surprise), and some of my favorite fall inspiration comes from sincerely jules and brooklyn blonde. jules has a more free-spirited approach to her style, while helena goes for the classic take on fashion. both bloggers know what they’re doing, and have helped me out (through their sites) many a time.

i think one of the worst feelings (or most stressful) that i’ve encountered in the real world is waking up in the morning and the outfit you thought would look great doesn’t . so i’ve stuck to getting inspiration from some of my favorite bloggers, keeping a lipstick in my bag for a quick fix, and prepping outfits the night before. mind you i work in an environment where you can dress more “stylishly” and suits aren’t the norm… a lot of these looks may not apply to your work life, but they’re still pretty great nonetheless.

back to black

rebecca minkoff jules satchel | ray ban aviators | dogeared pouch | sam edelman yates heels | heritage cookbook | heartloom zuma romper 

tomorrow i’ll be heading to san francisco (pictures to come!), but before i left i wanted to put up a quick post. i can vouch for the romper on the bottom when i say it’s one of the best purchases i’ve made. i’ve already worn it more than i should, and i’ve had it for a few weeks. if you happen to be a foodie, heritage is for you; it’s one of my favorite cookbooks thanks to its colorful imagery and delicious recipes. in terms of clothing and accessories, the shoes are a bit wild but that’s what makes them fun. aviators are a classic and i’ll always have them on (maybe black ones in the future), but for now i’ll be sticking with my gold/dark gray-green pair that everyone seems to have. lastly, rebecca minkoff may have created the perfect work bag (and dogeared’s pouch would fit nicely with it).

enhanced-31639-1421020066-8the following ladies straight killed it at the golden globes awards last night. it was hard to narrow down my favorite pics, but i decided against having you all look at 20+ pictures… you’re welcome. i think the best way to look at the outfits from last nights awards is to do so while listening to “uptown funk”, because something about that combination just works. if i ever went to the golden globes i have a vision of the kind of dress i would wear (picture long sleeves, slit, v-neck or low back) that would hopefully not land me on the worst-dressed list. honestly though, this isn’t something i have to worry about. so until my “debut” at the golden globes, i can keep on dreaming.
