This week, I …
• Got a little shoe shopping happy with an additional 30% off Madewell’s sale items. I scooped up a pair of cognac biker boots and leopard haircalf flats.
• Experienced my very first snow days! EVER. I mean, I’m not mad that this turned into a five day weekend, but I am sick of the whole polar vortex schtick.
• Am celebrating Valentine’s Weekend with the beau. On Friday, I treated him to dinner out and tonight, he’s whipping me a special homemade meal. Role reversal FTW!
• Made my very first foray into the world of cropped tops and it’s not as scandalous as I thought! What fashion risks have you taken lately?
• Tested out my new camera backstage at the Diego Binetti runway show. Such a fun way to experience NYFW!
• Found the perfect coat and handbag for spring — now, if only the weather would take a cue.
• Am debating on buying these tartan print loafers. They’re on major sale right now, but do I need them? Can I wear them this spring or will I need to wait until fall? What do you think?
• Played local tourist in front this amazing mural on the corner Bowery and Houston. It was the perfect backdrop for a street style-inspired outfit!
• Am heading over to J.Crew to take an additional 50% off sale items! I’ve got my eye on these leopard wedges, this contrast collar coat, and this swiss dot dress.
• Just joined The StyleUp, a fun style inspiration site that gives you outfit and shopping recommendations based on your taste and weather. Check it out and you might find a few outfit shots from yours truly!

This week, I …
• Am heading over to Kate Spade where they’re offering 20% off your purchase today only! On my wish list: this red bow bag, this hot pink skirt, these two toned pumps and pretty much everything else in their new arrivals.
• Shared my latest color crush. What do you think of this ultra feminine hue?
• Think I’m ready to make my foray into cropped tops. I love the idea of pairing this top with this skirt.
• Discovered (the hard way) that airport security is not a big fan of statement necklaces.
• Learned that I will forever be a sucker for black and white stripes.
• Am officially sick of winter. Bright blooms and bold colors from here on out!
• Wish I could justify buying this insane floral jacket or this gorgeous floral skirt, but for now, I’m just going to ogle them from afar.
• Watched the Super Bowl — and by “watched,” I mean occasionally looking up at the screen when a cute commercial came on. But I did pick the Seahawks to win, because I love me an underdog.
• Am swooning over this black and white windowpane dress. Tres chic!
• Flew to Raleigh, NC on my first day of the new job for a leadership conference. I feel so inspired and lucky to be a part of such an amazing brand!

This week, I …
• Bought this scalloped hem dress. The boyfriend asks: “Did you cut those out with those craft scissors?”
• Hit my halfway mark of year 27 and I have barely completed anything that I set out to do this year. Ugh, time to get my ass in gear!
• Am contemplating whether I need a pair of silver pumps this spring. Yay or nay?
• Really started getting into the Valentine’s Day spirit. Prepare for red, pink and heart-shaped everything!
• Was crushing on all things powder blue, but this pale pink beauty might be my new favorite color for spring.
• Have a good laugh every time someone says I should buy this Kate Spade plate because it has my blog name on it, but it’s actually this necklace that’s on my wish list!
• Set my eyes on this varsity jacket. It’s not my usual style, but I really dig it.
• Tallied up this month’s shopping expenses. I was under budget and saved over $500 in discounts. I’d call that a win!
• Booked my ticket to North Carolina for the Fourth of July. Feels so far away, but I can’t wait for a weekend at the lake house with my best friends!
• Celebrated my last day of work at my old job. Starting on Monday, I’m off on an exciting new journey with ANN INC.!
