Back in Action!

Katina's vest // Thrifted denim shirt // Etienne Aigner purse // Karen Scott boots

SO.....
After many, many, many weeks I'm happy to announce that I'm back in the blogging world!!!!! Woohoo!
(Oh and Katina is too, haha even though she's been patiently waiting for me to get my life organized)
Since my last blog post, I've moved back to NC and gotten a big-girl job...some pretty big changes, but they're the good kind of changes that take a while to get used to. Now that I'm finally falling into a daily routine, I'm happy to fit this blog back into my life-and hopefully you're happy to have it back in yours!

the last cold day

Loft shirt // H&M pants // Target scarf // Gap coat // Gifted watch // Relic satchel

Confession #1- these pictures are old. They're from the last really cold day I can remember. Wandering around Georgetown... even in this coat and scarf... was rough to say the least. I think my friend described it best as "definitely glove weather." 

Confession #2- this is someone's garage. But isn't it awesome, as far as garages go? Also, I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I didn't realize those stars (like the ones you see above) on old houses are actually star bolts that are tightened periodically to keep the structure from leaning. Pretty and useful- I like it. 

Regardless, I can't think of a better way to spend the last day of winter than with coffee and cookie at Dean & Deluca.

back to black

TJ Maxx vest // H&M pants // Forever21 sweater // Relic satchel // Minnetonka moccasins // gifted watch, bracelet, and rings

So two things pretty exciting happened this weekend:
#1 Anna visited me in DC.
#2 Within a few hours of her being here we decided to die my hair dark again.
The ombre had definitely run it's course. Results are a little darker than I expected, but I'm happy with it... and my new high-waisted black pants seen here... and this cool office building graffiti backdrop we found on my lunch break. What I'm not happy with is the fact that Anna left. Next trip already in the works.

zigzag chevron

 Francesca's top // Marshalls pants // Michael Shannon boots //  Etienne Aigner purse // Michael Kors watch

It's no surprise that I love chevron, and this shirt is a fun stylized version of one of my favorite prints. It was also the perfect top to wear in this crazy weather-not too hot but not too cold, and flowy enough to cope with the wind!

red & camel

Old Navy coat // Forever 21 sweater // Charlotte Russe necklace // Volcom jeans // UO flats // 

Fossil watch // Relic satchel

Of course the one weekend I decide to go home to VB, it snows. Completely unprepared, I packed flats and no coat. Despite the fact that I had to borrow my mom's way too small pea coat and had a couple of near death experiences slipping on ice- I have to say I'm really liking this red and camel color combo. Maybe my inability to pack appropriately worked in my favor... this time.

lazy day

 Marshall's chambray top // Forever 21 cardigan // Karen Scott boots // Michael Kors watch

This is the perfect outfit for a lazy day: comfortable, casual, and multi-layered. 

I also have no idea what the graffiti says on the last picture (it didn't seem offensive though!) but I couldn't resist a photo-op!

Rose Gold

H&M shirt // Target cardigan // Madewell jeans // Relic satchel  // Gifted watched // Etsy // AJ Morgan shades 

This rose gold watch is my favorite new accessory. Apparently I will never have enough watches. Tortoise is next.

tortoise shell obsessed

 Michael Kors watch // Marshall's pants // Mother's sweater // Unisa boots // Gifted necklace

So I've been in love with tortoise shell for a couple years now, but as of late it's taken on a whole new level of obsession. Anytime I see something tortoise shell I immediately want it -- earrings, sunglasses, bracelets, etc. Needless to say when I got this necklace for Christmas I was extremely happy, because I've been on the search for a tortoise and gold chain-link one to match my watch!
