This week I …

• Found my solution to my boyfriend jeans dilemma!  They’re usually too frumpy on me, so I bought these skinny jeans in a curvy fit.  Just the right amount of shape and slouch and they’re 40% off this weekend!

• Celebrated three years of blogging and loved every moment of it.

• Found the floral dress of my dreams — minus the price tag.  Reasonably priced alternatives here, here and here.

• Am scoping out Gap’s seasonal sale this weekend because it’s 30% off everything!  Now, if only this whale print dress came in adult sizes.

• Bought an organic concealer and I’m in love.  It’s just the right amount of coverage, but light enough that I forget it’s even on there.  Plus, it’s all natural!

• Am prepping for opened toe season — it’s almost here!  I’m in the mood for sexy little ankle strap heels like these, these or these.

• Found another midi skirt to add to my wishlist.  ASOS has been killing it with gorgeous full skirts lately!

• Am SO ready for spring, but until the bipolar weather figures itself out, I’ll just be pinning on my fashion and floral board instead.

• Explored Jersey City as part of my list of 27 things to do while I’m 27.  I loved all the cute little brunch and coffee spots, but the best part of all might just be the view.

This week, I …

• Bought a few more pieces from LOFT — shocking, I know!  I scooped this ultra comfy striped moto jacket and this silky pink blouse.  Take 30% off your entire purchase today only!

• Partnered with Cosmopolitan (yes, the mag!!) on my first ever video shoot.  Please dear God, let me not look awkward on camera.  Stay tuned for the final product and a behind the scene recap later this month!

• Thought about treating myself to something nice since I’ve been under budget on my shopping expenses.  I have my eye on this tote, but the dilemma is: solid, striped or color blocked?

• Brought donuts to a wine and cheese girls night.  Are you really that surprised?

• Have a hankering for some strappy sandals — even though it feels far from open-toed season right now.  Loving this metallic wedge, these leopard heels, and this gold detailed sandal.

• Am thinking about trying my hand at making craft cocktails — specifically this spicy tequila sunrise and this cucumber mint cooler.  Anyone care to join?

• Kind of dying over Kate Spade’s latest collection, inspired by travels to Capri.  Like, what’re you supposed to do with a car-shaped bag or a lemon-shaped clutch?

• Rounded up my favorite kicks from SJP’s debut shoe collection.  My favorites: this turquoise pump and this coral strappy bow heel.

• Am on the hunt for the perfect boyfriend jeans.  Do you have a favorite brand for them?  They always look so frumpy on me!

• Wish my hair and makeup could look like this everyday.

• Wanted to say congrats to Nicole R. for winning my Panasonic Beauty giveaway!  I’ll be sending you an email with next steps!

• Am partnering with a bunch of fabulous bloggers to give away an iPad air!  Check out the giveaway here!

This week, I …

• Got these Madewell boots in the mail, but they didn’t fit!  I’m going to try and size down in stores, but I’m still on the fence about keeping them and didn’t include them in February’s shopping budget.  Ahh, what’s a girl to do?

• Was featured on The Everygirl on ways to style your favorite college tee.  I dressed mine up with a bright red midi skirt, a pair of silver pumps and a whole lotta Wildcat pride.

• Plan to step up my shoe game with some fancy new flats — possibly in polka dot, color block or laser cut.  Which one’s your fave?

• Speaking of polka dot, I got my hands on these gold wall decals!  Now the question is, do I stick them up straight or scattered?

• Got a sneak peek of Ted Baker’s Spring/Summer 2014 collection.  They sure know how to put on a show!

• Shared a HUGE giveaway that’s ending TODAY!  Don’t forget to enter by midnight tonight, otherwise this little guy might steal the prize.

• Am still figuring out how to balance work, blog and life and I think I found the key.

• Am majorly crushing on striped totes for spring and summer.  Turquoise or navy — you can’t go wrong!

• Fell head over heels for Fashion by Mayhem, the four year old girl that creates designer-inspired paper dresses with her mom.  I want that kind of wild imagination and unbridled creativity!

• I’m spending the weekend in San Diego with my family, where it’s supposed to be raining for the entire time I’m here.  Wah!  At least that’s an excuse to snuggle up with a cup of coffee and my new polka dot pajamas.

And don’t forget to enter my giveaway for your chance to win a Panasonic Nanoe blowdryer and flat iron!  The contest ends TONIGHT at 12:00 AM EST.  Good luck!
