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:
C. Wonder — Take 40% off your ENTIRE purchase
Express — Take an additional 30% off sale
J.Crew — Take an additional 30% off sale and 50% off final sale
LOFT — Take 40% off your ENTIRE purchase
Madewell — Take an additional 30% off sale

This week I …
• Am realizing the dangers of working for an amazing brand. I want everything, including: these camo pants, this bright turquoise blazer and this darling little white dress.
• Bought this gold gum ball lamp from Urban Outfitters. Now do I place it on my nightstand or on my desk?
• Celebrated the boyfriend’s birthday with ramen, sushi, sake and a donut ice cream sandwich. Needless to say, my body hates me today.
• Watched my first Broadway show in over a year. Only two more to go until I can check off my goal of seeing three shows before I turn 28.
• Can’t decide between striped loafers number one or striped loafers number two. Help me decide!
• Loved getting to know the jewelry designers behind Emily and Ashley at a blogger brunch last week. !t was amazing to hear about their journey and the inspiration behind their QVC Line.
• Swooning over J.Crew Factory’s darling floral and stripes printed pieces, which comes in a camisole, tank, shorts and skirt form. You know I love me some mixed prints. Even better when they’re already mixed for you!
• Plan on hopping over to Ann Taylor to pick up these ankle strap heels in black, nude, snake or all the above … and these strappy wedges in beige. Take 40% off your entire purchase for their friends and family sale!

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.
