This week, I …

· Am guilty of a few more LOFT purchases: a black dress, a star print sweater, a dusty pink cardigan and new bracelets.  Did I mention it’s Friends & Family Weekend and you get to take 40% off your entire purchase?  Lawd, help me.

· Made my on air debut in partnership with Cosmo Magazine and XOXO.  Check out the video, scoop up the dress and please don’t mind my mild awkwardness.

· Am trying to break in the cutest pair of ankle strap flats.  Please please please work out, because I have my eye on these little cuties next!

· Realized that even though I hate Times Square, there’s just nothing else quite like it.

· Am squealing because A) the Wildcats are in the Elite 8 and B) my love for my alma mater was featured in Glitter Guide’s 5 Things  To Try This Weekend.  BTFD!

· Plan to step up my shoe game this spring.  Just bought these gold heeled beauties from Ann Taylor.  Also have my eye on these leopard wedges by Sam Edelman, these two toned heels from Pour La Victoire and these red stunners from Zara.  I’m gonna need more space in my closet …

· Am so thankful that this saying applies to me.

· Booked a trip with the boyfriend to back to Washington, DC next weekend and I think a new sparkly weekender bag is in order.

· Can’t believe I won the final round of Banana Republic’s #TRUESTYLE Instagram contest with this outfit.  Hellooo shopping spree.

· Need you to hide my wallet.  I’ve almost reached my monthly shopping budget, but there are SO many good sales going on at my favorite stores:
