This past weekend, I traveled up with my boyfriend and his family to Philadelphia. We met his cousins, aunts, uncles and the matron of the house, his grandmother. What to wear?? I wanted to stay cool but keep it conservative. Another thing to note, when packing for the weekend, have a color scheme. It keeps my jewelry to a minimum and in case I stained a shirt, I'd just wear another and no one's the wiser.
Day 1:
Day 2:
The necklace is Daisy Fuentes for Kohls, it can be purchased here.
Day 3:
The dress I have is from Urban Outfitters, but the style is very similar. It can be purchased here.
Do you think these were grandmother appropriate?
What the Hell Are You Wearing?
Completely random side note:
Who do these remind you of? Yes, exactly, Mr. T. I pity the fool who buys these. Let's not make him a new shoe trend.
If you insist though, you can purchase these pumps at your nearest Charlotte Russe or order them online here.
Hot Town Working in the City
Hello!
It may look like I havent posted since May 26, but something went terribly wrong on my last post and I hope I can fix it. Either way, I am slowly getting closer to starting my job and I want to look prepared! As a graduation present, I got this gorgeous..I mean GORGEOUS Gucci tote.
It's very summer looking and yes that is straw. However, I think it would be very appropriate to take to work early Fall until about end of November. First off, its huge! I think the bottom width is 15" and the top is about 20". Since I'm 5'2" it looks like I'm swimming in it but I carry a lot of things, so its perfect. The handles and bottom is made of leather (the smell is intoxicating) and the interior is linen. All in all, amazing.
The next bag I'm lusting over is the Miu Miu Deerskin Leather Tote.
Purchase it here.
With a retail value of $1650, I don't think I can afford the air around the purse, let alone walk around DC with it. At first, I thought it looked like an overdone laptop case. Then I saw it on the model, and it started to look much more versatile. I see myself in a power suit everyday :)
A purse is an accessory to an outfit right? With that MiuMiu leather tote in mind, I plan on wearing this menswear inspired outfit to the office one day:

Tropical Paradise
Hello Hello! It's been awhile since I've posted. I've been busy organizing my room, looking for a new apartment, paperwork, you know, REAL LIFE! *tear* Before real life actually starts, I will be in Puerto Rico for six weeks this summer. Obviously, I will be packing heavily (I always do) but I wanted to post some outfits I plan/wish on wearing while down there in the heat. It's going to be brutally hot (or so my contact tells me).
Everything but the necklace and belt can be purchased by clicking, but you can get them both from Kohls. I bought it and love it! Purchase the necklace here or the belt here.
The Havaianas that I would wear are the gold toned ones, and I have a cuff very similar to the one here. You think I'm crazy wearing black in Puerto Rico, but J.Crew's tee's are so airy and cool, I wouldn't really notice!
Finally, an evening out on the town look. I'm not a big skirt person, but I love dresses (is that weird?) Anyways, I kept the jewelry to a minimum because the dress is simple but gorgeous.
Oh and I will be bringing my new staple, OPI's Lincoln Park after Dark. It's a dark midnight purple.
17 days till Puerto Rico!!
Say No to Clogs!
I don't why this trend is happening, or even why beloved Chanel models sported them for this Spring's Runway.
What is this? Better yet, whyyyy this! They aren't easy to walk in nor are they attractive. Even Mary-Kate Olsen has added them to her Elizabeth and James line. Say it aint so..
Let's get together and say no to clogs!

What the Hell Are You Wearing?
Too many coincidences happened today for me not to post this blog. First, I'm watching Real Housewives of New York City. Kelly is taking Simon out for a fashion makeover and helping him find new clothes so he can develop *good taste*. Second, my dad called to talk about Gucci. yes, Gucci! Who knew?! I also convinced him to burn (or atleast donate) those horrendous Hawaiian floral print shirts he saunters around in. My father has an uncanny ability to dress well for work and then hobo around after hours. I'm talking ripped shirts, horrible sandals, floral print shirts, toothpaste smears. It's embarrassing really. That in mind, this post is dedicated to all daughters who can help their naive dad's wardrobe for Father's Day.
What NOT to BUY!
What is with dad's and these floral tacky shirts? Sigh..
And let's be honest, fugly ties need to leave. If your dad has any of these, please buy lighter fluid and start a small bonfire with these pieces.
Now for the good stuff! Click on any to purchase, I know I will!!
