Memorial Weekend | Denim Overalls + Basic White Tee

Hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend! We've spent most of the weekend cleaning up around the house. After the wedding we're going to redecorate the apartment. It's all I can think about, even with our wedding 19 days away. I think it's good distracting me from the stress and anxiety of our wedding. Nonetheless, we're going to buy a few more plants for the house, paint, do some cool DIY projects and make a few trips to my favorite thrift stores in NYC. You'd be so surprised what you can find at thrift stores and craigslist. Looking forward to sharing all the new home decor pieces. On Saturday I posted an apartment photos on Instagram, check it out here. 

Not sure if you can tell by the photos, but I'm in love with the overall trend. At first I was a little hesitant to buy a pair, but for only $30 these overalls from H&M were such a small investment, I had to get myself a pair! Since I'm a shorty, I had to hem the bottom by 4 inches. So if you're petite like me, be ready to take these to a tailor or hem them yourself. If you have a sewing machine, I'd recommend hemming them on your own. Last night I picked up a pair of overall shorts. These will look cute with sandals this summer, excited to show you the look! These overalls from Free People are next on the "to buy" list.

Casual Weekend | Faux Fur Vest + Wide Leg Jeans

Hope everyone is having a good weekend! New York got a glimpse of spring on Saturday and the entire city was out enjoying the weather. We spent Saturday morning walking around Central Park and then we enjoyed some delicious food at the Plaza Food Hall. If you're ever in NYC, near Central Park, stop by the Plaza Food Hall it's a sight to see and they have so many decadent desserts!

blazers and ponytails

Over the past few months I've really started to embrace ponytails. I always thought I didn't look "as good" with my hair back, but what I've found out is a sleek ponytail can save you time in the morning and make you look more put together.  Especially if you're having a back hair day. Get some dry shampoo and make yourself a cute up-do. One last tip, curl your hair and then tease the ponytail and it looks like you took a page out of Carrie Bradshaw's playbook.

There's nothing I love more than finding something on sale. This sweater was one of my lastest finds

at Macy's.  One evening after work I did a little shopping and I found this beautiful sweater on the super duper sale rack.  It was a total of $8.  I almost bought all 5 of them! This sweater will look great with anything! The skirt is from Nordy's and thought they'd look good together.  Black and gold is always a good combination.  

Are you a fan of the sale rack or do you pass up? I always seem to find a good deal, but it takes a moment!

Here are a few photos from the photo shoot this weekend with Lydia Hudgens.  This is one of my favorite outfits right now. It's casual, but can be dressed up with a cute up-do and earrings.  Perfect for a night out in the city.

Life in the corporate world, we have these wonderful things called "Quarters".  We live, breath and die by these dates. Every year is split into four quarters and each quarter comes down to $$$.  I thought it was only appropriate at we come closer to the end of the month, I remind everyone to bring in the money!  

This is one of my favorite dresses to wear to the office.  The color is beautiful and eye catching.  Typically I wear it with a belt, but today I felt like I'd keep it simple with the gold accents pieces and animal print heels.  

Do you make a color splash in the office, or do you stick with the black and white theme? I'm such a fan of black and white!

This weekend we took a trip to Treasure Island. It's about a 10 minute drive from San Francisco.  The best time to go to the island is right before sunset.  We had a great time admiring the SF skyline and sipping on our favorite wine from Napa.

Since I was going to Treasure Island, I thought it was appropriate to wear this brown vest. It was as "pirate-esk" I could get for the trip and also stay warm!
