Stripes all over!




I love this striped skirt. I got it at Forever21 for a mere $7! I'm pretty sure every outfit I have put together lately includes stripes somewhere on me. I'm even trying to get the nerve to wear stripes stripes, I saw this amazing outfit on Pinterest a couple days ago with a similar skirt. 

Speaking of Pinterest, I have been holding back on trying this website out because I knew I would get sucked in. Well guess what?!? I'm hooked! You can find me here if you want to follow my boards (ooh, I sound so fancy).

Weekend Warrior Outfit


This has been my standard weekend wear lately, maybe because I am obsessed with stripes and rolled up boyfriend jeans... or maybe its because I've been living out of my suitcase for the last month and decided to pack ONE pair of jeans. I'm not too sure what I was thinking at the time. But now that I'm moved in to the new place I will have all the jeans in the world to wear again! 

So here it is, comfort and fashion at its finest on a Sunday. 




Outfit Details:
Jacket: Madewell
Scarf: Target
Striped Shirt: H&M
Jeans: JCrew
Purse: Marc by Marc Jacobs
Flats: Steve Madden from DSW

New home!


Oh hello AGAIN. Remember my last post when I thought I was slacking on the blog? Well now I have to admit that I brought my slacking to a whole new level. This last month has been chaotic but that still doesn't leave me with any good excuse. But we've moved into a new place! Yahoo! No more flooding, no more stress, no more walking to work (wait, that's not a good thing), and more dog walks. 

So here we are, me and Ruff outside my new building. And do you see below?!? I can see the Space Needle from the back of my apartment building. I'm so excited about this I could burst. Expect a lot more photos from my backyard. 

Now let's talk about the outfit today. Just a simple work outfit. Since I moved I forgot about a lot of things in my closet including this brown velvet blazer. I love this blazer but forget that I own it since it's hard to mix and match with my standard all black assemble.

Hello again!





Oh hey there! Its been awhile, hasn't it? These pictures are from my visit to Texas a week ago. Wow, it has been a long hiatus. Between all the traveling, working, the weather and the SOPA online protest I haven't been much good. I mentioned the weather right? Seattle has had some crazy weather. We got snow that shut the city down for a couple days. Lucky for me, I could walk to work so while everyone else got to go sledding I got to be at work. And even more lucky for me, with all the snow and rain my bedroom has flooded.

But anyways the Texas trip was fun and relaxing. Topher and I hung out with his family, ate tons of food and watched a lot of football. We also got to visit Bloom, a store owned by one of my favorite bloggers Kendi Everyday! I was beyond excited to visit the little shop and ended up getting this skirt from there at a steal.

Black and Tan






This skirt is a complete gem! I found it on sale for $40 and its original price was $145! As I was trying it on, thinking no way was it actually this price I was also thinking "Wow, this is amazing! It would be even better if it had pockets!". And at that very moment my hands found themselves in pockets. SOLD! 

Anyone doing anything special this weekend? As you read this, Topher and I are headed to Dallas to visit some of his family. Hopefully it will be warm and sunny, the Seattle grey is kind of getting to me lately. An added bonus if we can seek out some cool vintage shops!
