A Night Out

I rarely get the chance to document what I wear at night (mostly because I haven't had much of a social life since I started law school) so this is definitely a first on the blog. Last Saturday, I attended the Barrister's Ball here in Newark and it was definitely a much needed night out. :)

Dress - Forever21, Earrings and Clutch - Aldo, Shoes - Urban Outfitters

Scarf and Rings - H&M, Sweater and Bracelets - Forever21, Pants - American Eagle, Shoes - Aldo, Bag - Francesca's Collections

It's already chilly on the east coast! I don't know if I'm ready to let go of summer just yet so I've decided to incorporate touches of summer (like this turquoise color that was big during the summer) into my fall wardrobe. Who says we have to let go of all aspects of summer just because it's fall now? :) Okay, now back to studying .... I hope you guys had a great weekend!

Friday Fancies: Blog Party

Dress - Anthropologie, Shoes - Aldo, Accessories - Ruche, Clutch - Francesca's Collections

I have made it to my 100th post! So what does that mean? Party obviously! It's a virtual blog party and you're all invited! I wanted to dedicate this Friday Fancies to celebrate the fact that I have actually had enough material to make it to 100 posts, haha. I sometimes start things and then tend to get bored with them so I'm not very consistent but I have actually stuck with this and it has become my favorite hobby. Now I can only think of clothes as entire outfits and I've been able to not only expand my closet from the countless inspiration on a daily basis that has led to too many shopping trips, but also use the stuff I already own in a different way. I want to thank you guys for reading (or stumbling upon) my little corner of the internet and commenting or following. I cannot express how humbled I am that I have made it to over 200 followers and I cannot wait to share more outfits, moments, and random tidbits with you guys! Big, big, biiiiiig thank you to every single one of you! Now here's some virtual champagne and cupcakes! I wish I had real dessert to offer all of you for being ridiculously awesome, but alas, a virtual substitute will have to do for now. 

What are you guys doing this weekend? My cousin is coming over for the weekend and I'm happy I get to spend some much needed girl time with her that includes lots of food, retail therapy (what better way to celebrate a blog party than by shopping right?!), and LOTS of sangria. :) I hope your weekends are all amazing! 

As always, if you'd like, please click here to like my Friday Fancies outfit!

Happy Friday!

Friday Fancies: A little Tribal

Cardigan - Ruche $42.99, Dress - Lulu's $33.00, Earrings and Clutch - Etsy $61.54 and $140.00 respectively, Shoes - Aldo $90.00

I have been wanting to get these Aldo wedges for quite some time now but I cannot bring myself to spend $90 on them so I decided to incorporate them into a Friday Fancies post instead! :) I love the colors and the tribal feel and how lovely they would look on my feet ... but I digress. This outfit would be so easy and comfortable and perfect for all the crazy things I'm doing this weekend. What am I doing that's keeping me so busy you ask? Welllll ... tomorrow I'm heading with my cousin to the NYC Block Party (weather permitting) and then to an engagement party to then have to go back to NYC to spend a night partying and then on Sunday I'm going to the Brooklyn Renegade Craft Fair and then having dinner with a group of my friends. Whew. That was a mouthful. I'm exhausted just thinking about all the back and forth I'm going to do this weekend but I'm excited! I have to take advantage of my busy social life now because come law school, it will most likely be non-existent. 

Have a great weekend and Happy Friday!

Am I the only one that gets the song "Friday" by Rebecca Black stuck in their heads every time Friday rolls around? Just me? Damn ...

As always, more Friday Fancies at {long distance loving}!

Friday Fancies 10: Colorblock Me

Shorts - Ruche $38.99, Shirt - Urban Outfitters $69.00, Bag - Melie Bianco $63.00, Sandals - Aldo $40.00, Earrings and Ring - Forever21 $3.80 and $5.80 respectively.

It is officially Friday! Yay!! I'm so happy that it's finally starting to feel like summer and more especially, that I have my boyfriend here to take in this beautiful weather with me. On Wednesday, we decided to have a dinner date in Hoboken followed by a trip to a candy shop where we selected some treats that were devoured later on that night and the following day. We're big on candy. Thursday was my best friend's graduation (congratulations Samantha!). I'm so thankful I was able to partake in her special day. And well, today, the boy and I are going to run a couple boring errands, walk around a bit, and have a date tonight so for this Friday Fancies, I wanted to pick out an outfit that could go from day to night (since we're probably not going to have the chance to come back and change) and still look good for both occasions. Plus, I've always wanted to experiment with some color blocking so I thought this might be the perfect opportunity for that. I am crazy for all things teal/turquoise/mint green and I have always have been so I think I'm a bit obsessed with this particular color blocking combo. I have even incorporated this obsession into my choice of accessories.

These are the two rings I purchased from Hell's Kitchen Flea Market last weekend. I love the detail on both of the rings and that I was able to negotiate the price down to something I wanted to pay. Then again, I probably would have bought them anyway, haha. I also have tons of blue/teal/green earrings that I love!

What are you guys doing this weekend? Brett and I are going to Ikea tomorrow to shop around a bit for things to organize my desk area and watch the planes from Newark Airport take off since it's right across from Ikea's foodcourt. In other words, we're probably staying in Ikea all day. We walk around all of the showrooms and pick out things that we would want in our future apartment someday. It's a little fun seeing what things we both love and seeing what things we completely disagree on. I know I'm going to love being able to decorate with him once we get our own place. I.Cannot.Wait. Then, we have a ice cream double date with my friend and her boyfriend in Hoboken at night. Sunday, we're going to Rutgers for one of the last times to hand in our keys to our college houses and Monday we're going to my family's house in New York for a Memorial Day BBQ. I missed the smell of BBQ and summer. :) Hope you all have a FANTASTIC weekend. 

Yay Friday!

Sunny in SoHo

As mentioned in my previous post, I went to the IMAT's event in SoHo with my roommates Nisha and Vida on Saturday. I love going to SoHo because it is seriously one of my favorite neighborhoods in NYC. There are cobblestone streets everywhere, lofts galore, and tons and TONS of stores. Needless to say, I didn't come home empty handed (but I'll save that for a different post). The IMAT's show was a blast where I got lots of goodies and it was a beautiful day to go out and walk around because thankfully it was absolutely gorgeous out. 

I thought layering might be my best option for the day since I wasn't entirely sure how warm or cold it was going to be. Damn you April with your all over the place weather. Luckily for me, this knit sweater does the job even if it isn't long sleeved. It turned out to be perfect for the weather. I got a little hot while at the show (87384734 girls all in one area trying to fight over lipstick will do that to ya haha) but otherwise, I was perfectly fine for the whole day.

 

While at the show, we took a break to eat some lunch in the cutest restaurant down the block from where the event was held. I loved these red chairs in a corner of the restaurant. Apparently, they do shows there some nights. Also, the place had some of the best sangria I've ever tasted! We definitely left with satisfied bellies, I'll tell you that much.

After the show, we proceeded to walk around SoHo a bit because everywhere you go provides the best backdrops for pictures. (Parts of my school's campus definitely does not have the same trait unfortunately)

 

 

All in all, it was an awesome day. Who doesn't love shopping and eating with your girlfriends on an all day excursion? :) Now if only we could do that every weekend and have the gorgeous weather we had this weekend. Asking for too much? Nahhhh.

Above All Else

While I was in Pittsburgh, I hung out with my friend Darren and his boyfriend Lee. Luckily for me, Lee is a photographer and aside from teaching me some more tricks for my camera, he also offered to take some pictures of me for an outfit post. :) Although it was kind of gray that day, I was so happy to actually be able to shoot outside for once. This winter has had me shooting outfit posts in my room for the most part and I've grown quite tired of having my teal wall/messy room as a backdrop. I can't wait for spring when it will be nice enough to shoot all of my outfits outside.

 

We did the shoot at one of the highest points in the city and the view was breathtaking.

As much as I may say I love rural areas, I'm a sucker for cities. I know some people consider cities to be cold and much like a concrete jungle, but I can honestly say that I knew most of my neighbors and we did have our fair share of green. The term "it takes a village" most definitely applies to where I was raised. My mother didn't have to wonder where I was at any point because there was no hiding or sneaking around in my town. Everyone knew everyone. Most of us didn't have backyards, but we have parks where I made friends and memories. Most of us didn't have pools or hot tubs, but we had waterfront views ideal for first dates and first kisses. Sitting on a bench facing NYC and the Hudson River always relaxed me after a long day at school, after sad breakups with friends/boyfriends, while reading a book. That waterfront has seen happy moments, tearful heartbreaks, and long talks with friends. My city made me street smart, good with directions, and good at parallel parking (considering few people had driveways). I wouldn't trade my city upbringing for anything in the world, well ... maybe for a lake house. Maybe I'll get that eventually though. :)

OUTFIT DETAILS
Sunglasses - Borrowed/stolen from Darren. (Left them in my bag by accident. Oops.)

White Top - H&M
Cardigan - Forever21
Necklace - Thrifted

And while I was over there, we went into a Rue21 to kill some time and I found the cutest earrings!

Owls and peacock feathers together in one pair of earrings?! YES PLEASE.

Snow Da-- uhh Ice Day?

Today is the last day to enter my giveaway! It closes at midnight Eastern time in US. :)

So yesterday, we got an inch of freezing rain which is really ice by the time it hits the ground. Now normally, in past posts, I've complained about the weather. However, yesterday's inch of ice canceled all of my classes so for once, this is a happy post about the weather. Because I live with a fellow blogger, we decided to take this opportunity and do what most bloggers would do in our position .... take a ridiculous amount of pictures of one another. The mini photo shoot started off quite serious but ended up being rather silly and there are many pictures where we both tried hard not to laugh and look absolutely ridiculous.

I'm so happy that it's almost the weekend. I love Thursdays because I'm lucky enough to have a three day weekend so Thursdays are really like Fridays to me. Only drawback is that I have class from 9 am to 9 pm which is unfortunate.

OUTFIT DETAILS

Earrings - Aldo
Button Down Tunic - H&M

White Cardigan - Forever21

Black Knee High Socks - ASOS

I got the glasses from Forever21 and even though I don't normally wear glasses (or need them for that matter), I loved these. Also, excuse the fact that I'm pigeon-toed in most, if not all, of these pictures. 

I promise it's not on purpose. For some reason my feet just go that way.

Also, I want to just say that I've reached over 100 followers! 

Thank you all so sooo much for reading, following, commenting, looking, etc. I love all of you <3
