Exciting News!


I have some exciting News to share with everyone!
I will be attending The Limited's grand opening this Friday! And not only that, but I and three other bloggers will be covering the event, have a tour of the new store, receive a $50 gift card to giveaway here on the blog (stay tuned!) and have an opportunity to interview the CEO Linda Heasley.
Cool right?
Also a percentage of your purchase goes to the YWCA.
I'm pretty excited.

Now to figure out what to wear......

Outfit Post: A Necklace

Happy November!
I can't believe it's November already. This October seems to have been the fastest month of my life. 
I like november and all, but I feel gypped. We basically have already skipped Fall, which is my favorite, and are onto Winter now. 
Not ok. 
But anyway, here are a couple of quick photos of a recent outfit (which you will be able to judge by my sleevelessness was worn before it decided to become a Winter wonderland around here).
 I love this necklace. It is my absolute favorite. It used to be my grandmothers and she gave it to me a few years ago complete with the matching bracelet and earrings. 
The last photo is of her wearing it (obviously in newer, shinier conditions). 
Isn't she beautiful?
The earrings I'm wearing actually aren't the originals though. I lost one when I wore them to my senior prom and I was so upset. But while shopping at a little antique shop this Summer I came across an exact matching pair! So the set is now complete again.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!
Hope everyone has had a fun and safe Halloween weekend. Here are a few pictures from my weekend so far. My boyfriend and I were... can you guess? Calvin and Hobbes. And if you don't know who Calvin and Hobbes are your childhood is incomplete.
Better pictures of Halloween costumes coming soon.
Have a Happy Halloween, go eat some candy!

Yesterday


Yesterday was a good day because:

1. I treated myself to a relaxing lunch at Panera (the Sierra turkey sandwich to be exact. It's my favorite) and got to sit and read and have some me time.

2. I wore my Beirut t-shirt that I got at the concert the other night (post forthcoming) and the lady at the register at Panera liked it and had a mutual love for Beirut and we had a nice conversation about it. I love friendly people.

3. Work was really easy and went smoothly and stress free

4. I got two pairs of shoes for $25.
Now someone invite me to go out and dance or go to a fancy party or something.

5. I got to catch up with three of my best friends and we had a really great time together (british accents may have been involved)

6. I had chinese food for dinner (Thank you China Max)

7. I drove around all day with the windows down

8. I went to goodwill and found exactly what I need for my Halloween costume (plus two super cute skirts)

9. I finished several custom order cowls. Yay productivity!

10. Seeing all the pretty fall leaves change colors makes me happy.



What was good about your yesterday?


Boston: Part 1

Over the weekend I took a little trip to Boston to visit some friends (who are very talented, one makes jewelry and the other is a web/application designer). It was my first time in Beantown and it was a wonderful first impression. I'd been looking forward to this trip for a few months, and I'm quite sad it's over now.
This is the first of two posts because there are a lot of pictures!
Here are some of my favorite highlights from the first two days....



  My first cannoli 
Giant laptops??
These tetris looking things were on several lamp posts at one intersection. Someones version of yarn bombing maybe?
Good BLT's
Lamont Library at Harvard. If you whisper into one end of the arch you can hear it in the other!
 A little trip to Urban Outfitters of course
What's wrong with this picture?
The leaves are changing color!
The Freedom Trail

More to come!
