Feeling Spring-y

My sister recently hosted a Mary Kay pampering party at her new home as she is thinking of becoming a consultant (yay for me!!). It was a very cold and rainy day and I new there would be pampering so I didn't want to get too dressed up and I didn't even bother with makeup. 

I was inspired by this outfit I saw on Kendi Everyday. I love her blog and the layout and she has the cutest shop Bloom. She always looks so chic.

I adore the colors and the simplicity.

So even though it started snowing I still wore this. 

Tank: Old Navy (similar)

Chambray: Old Navy (out of stock, similar, similar)

Jeans: Target (similar, +size)

Booties: unknown (glitter,similar, similar)

Jacket: Wet Seal, no longer avaiable (similar)

Necklace: Rue21 (not online check stores)

Bracelets: Alex and Ani

Nail polish: Sally Hansen gel @home manicure in Pat on the Black

The necklace is so much fun I knew I had to wear it when I woke up that morning! =)

Do you ever have days when you just have to wear it? 

What is it for you? me?...mostly shoes but today accessories. 

P.s. Ignore the wet spots on the booties...I told you it was snowing. 

What I Want for March

I've been contemplating getting a cargo something for a while, that blazer is the perfect mix or spring colors and I'm in need of a neon yellow clutch. That necklace is perfect and I can never say no to floral pumps. Aaaand skulls may be a secret obsession. Its my inner badass coming out to play I suppose. Here's hoping I can find everything at a discount! 

What is it that you want for the start of spring? And how excited are you?? I can't wait for all this snow to melt!

I was going to post an OOTD but my dog gave me a fat lip and my nose ring was grabbed by a babe at a birthday party yesterday and my nose is swollen so I'm in no shape to take pictures. Here's a couple of Polyvore sets for ya!

Hope you had a great weekend! Happy Monday loves!

Date night

For Valentines Day this year my fiance and I took a day off of life in the middle of the week and went to Foxwoods. He likes to play tables and I like to play dress up. =)

We went to David Burke for a yummy filet mignon....the one time a year I get such an expensive cut of meat is when we come here for an anniversary or holiday. 

After playing some roulette and mingling with all the other couples that were there for the romantic night we went bowling at the High Roller Lanes which was so fun! Very different from the "typical" local lanes. There was a DJ and videos playing and the couches were a far cry from the plastic seating I'm used to! Unfortunately I left my camera in the room and only got one snap in. If you ever visit Foxwoods make sure to carve out some time for bowling. So FUN!

Top: Old Navy 

(check the stores clearance section for deeper discounts! I think this one was $10 or less for me)

Shorts: Elle

Shoes: Payless (old) similar, similar

Bracelets: Alex and Ani

Necklace: Tiffany's

I love dressing up when we go to the casinos, even if I'm not going to the clubs and bars. The top is loose and casual and the shorts have the cute leather detail that acts as a belt. The shoes have a short heel which was perfect for all the walking we did.  

I just had to share a pic of my hair- new cut and color- and I loved how it came out!

What did you wear for Valentines Day? Or your anniversary or holiday? What did you do?

Shirt: Not available online check stores. 

Jeans: not available in this color- check stores, similar

Shoes: same, similar, flats, sale

I rocked this fierce shirt for a friends bday event last month. 

Hibachi and karaoke...how fun?!

I'm unfortunately the kind of girl that needs something new for every event even though I have an overflowing closet. Its something I recognize and need to work on yet...its an endearing quality no?

I went to Kohls originally looking for LCs red blazer. I was inspired by a blog post on LaurenConrad.com where one of her writers styled a red blazer four ways. 

(How cute is she?!)

The blazer was not at my local store and unavailable in my size at the time per the kiosk, so I had to rethink my strategy.

I came across this top on the clearance rack and was fascinated by the colors. In general I'd think something like this was a little too busy but the colors are what attracted me. That and the material which is silky in front and jersey in the back, and the relaxed cut is something that I enjoy on days I'm not feeling tip top. 

I had just received the jeans in the mail and thought they'd be perfect. 

Now, what shoes to wear?

I could have gone the safe route and went with classic nude. But I was feeling daring and fierce at that point and thought-- lets scope out the shoe scene. 

BAM!

Clearance pumps for $10 (with card and coupon).

Of course, I wanted these originally. No dice. 

I love the design and the heels not too high that I wouldn't be able to wear them for a night out. 

I've never really looked at Rock and Republic when shopping but this shirt and those neon shoes have made me keep my eyes out for more finds. Have you ever overlooked a brand only to find something later on that has made you change your mind?
