Peonies & Coffee Table BooksThis week I …

• Am prepping for a few upcoming adventures and invested in a new suitcase.  Crap — that doesn’t count as a clothing expense, does it?

• Got a little cray in Brooklyn.  Someone, please stop letting me mix bourbon and tequila.  It ain’t pretty.

• Was spotted on C. Wonder’s blog for a fashion faux pas that you have to try!

• Survived another snow storm, but I almost caved and bought a puffer coat.  I’m not a big fan of the bulkiness, but ugh, I’m getting desperate people.

• Finally pulled the trigger and ordered our very first piece of furniture from Society Social!  Eee! 

• Have my eye on full midi skirts for spring.  This one’s red hot.

• Decided to start growing my collection of coffee table books.  I need your recommendations!

• Am pining over these black and cognac heels.  They’re absolutely timeless.

• Plan on scooping up a few new work pieces from Ann Taylor.  Everything’s 50% off — happy shopping friends!

Weekly Recap: 01.17.14

This week I …

• Started reading No More Dirty Looks.  I’m only a few chapters into the organic beauty guide, but I’m convinced that I’m  going green and never looking back.

• Created a Valentine’s Day inspired Pinterest board, because everything’s cuter when it’s heart-shaped.

• Bought myself a dozen hot pink roses — because why not?

• Decided to spend this month’s shopping budget on a new bag.  Bag number one or bag number two?

• Had matzo instead of mimosas for Sunday brunch at Katz’s Deli.  I now see why it’s an NYC must!

• Really wish I had a reason/space for a hot pink ottoman.  Don’t know how the BF would feel about that one.

• Am really tempted to scoop up these leopard gloves from C. Wonder.  They’re an additional 50% off!

• Love that J.Crew, Madewell and Club Monaco’s additional 40% off sale sales are still going strong!  Shop to it!

Celebrated an exciting new milestone in my life and I can’t wait to share!

Weekly Inspiration - 01.03.14

This week I …

• Finally tackled a fun DIY project with this little sparkly ampersand.  When in doubt, add sequins!

• Truth be told, my original goal was to make my own sparkly steppers, but when that plan folded (aka I got too impatient), I pulled the trigger on these bad boys instead.  Start a new DIY and scoop up the real deal on mega sale?  Winners all around.

• Rang in the new year with some fabulous friends in this feathery number.  Of course, that was followed by a not-so-fabulous New Year’s Day in bed … until 6:00 PM.

• Was obviously too hungover to write out my New Year’s Resolutions on Wednesday, but I read about Jess of Here & Now’s 2013 Shopping Budget and felt inspired to commit to my own monthly budget for all of 2014.  More on that to follow!

• Promised I would step up my home decor game and have my eye on this python accent table.  Isn’t he handsome?

• Made the leap into cleaner beauty products, with the help of my green beauty guru, Brenda.  My organic arsenal now includes manuka honey, a clay mask, honey almond hand cream and a citrusy facial cleaner.  Can’t wait to test it all out and share the results with you!

Happy weekend friends!
