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!

This week, I …
• Started to think about spring outerwear and set my eyes on this polka dot trench, this ivory faux leather jacket and this denim jacket. I can’t wait to ditch my wool coats!
• Hit the slopes and went skiing with Tracy for the first time in two years. My legs felt like noodles for days — a clear indication that I’m not as spritely as I used to be.
• Just added this organic face mask to my green beauty arsenal. I tried it out last night and my skin felt so refreshed!
• Have no interest in going back to school, but am obsessing over this striped backpack.
• Celebrated Galentine’s Day with a brunch hosted by one of my favorite ladies. Bottomless margaritas? Yes please!
• Finished season two of House of Cards over the week and need another show to get fixated on. Suggestions are welcomed!
• Started planning out a few spring-inspired outfits. For more inspiration, check out my Spring Style board on Pinterest!
• Added these mirrored aviators and these tortoise sunnies to my must have eyewear for spring/summer.
• Plan to add plenty of printed pants into my spring wardrobe. I’m loving these leopard, windowpane, and floral pairs.
• Felt a hint of spring in the city on a Friday night and fell in love with NYC all over again.
