Modern Day Armor

Rings:Claire's & Icing by Claire's; Polish:Deal with the Devil by Ruby Kisses

As you all know I'm a big fan of funky rings...so it's no surprise that I fell in love with these. I actually saw a pricier version of the rhinestone knuckle ring when I was at UO, so I consider myself very lucky. What do you think???

Career Chic:Not So Average

White button down:BCBG; Tailored dress pants:H&M; Belt: old; Oxfords:Michael Khors; Gold studs:Anthropologie; Bracelet:Gift; Polish:NYX-Las Vegas

I love wearing traditional outfits with a twist, especially professional clothing. A typical white button down with tailored pants can take many forms.

I had yet than another interview today, and I'm starting to realize that the experience I'm getting from each one is helping me become a better interviewee. My nerves have subsided until about the time I walk through the door now-I've come along way from being so nervous I can't sleep the night before. It's always nice to break up the week and do something unexpected as not to fall into a monotonous pattern, so after my interview I walked around Georgetown for a few hours and bought an army inspired top from Zara (yes, only one item, I was being good today) that I will post later in the week. Happy Hump Day!

Casual Friday

Dress & hat:F21; Oxfords:JC Penney; Necklace:DIY; Ring: NY street vendor; Polish: Essie-Mint Candy Apple

No work today :-). My college friend from Atlanta is coming into town for a weekend visit so I'm off to show her a good time. Have a good weekend everyone!

Popcorn, Polish & Pay-Per-View

Polish:Essie-Mint Candy Apple

When I woke up this morning I had every intention of going out tonight, but after painting my basement, lunch with some high school friends, & getting my brother and his group off to prom I was pooped! Tropic Thunder is move for tonight (I'm in love with Robert Downey Jr.) & my toes are in need of a new paint job anyway. For those who ventured out tonight, have a drink in my honor, I'll sit this one out ;-).

Home Is Where the ♥ Is

Blazer: F21; T-shirt: Nordstrom; Denim shorts: True Religion; Tan boots: UO; Belt:old; Necklace(old), watch, rings: F21; Studs: old; Polish: Orly-Lemonade

I always miss my room when I'm away at school. Don't get me wrong, I love my apartment and my roommates, but there is something about home that has a certain comfort that my apartment just doesn't provide. It feels good to be with my family for the Easter weekend and I'm hoping I can get some shopping out of my parents while I'm here too. Yes, I know ulterior motives for personal gain aren't too honorable, but why not do it for the name of fashion?

Cab

One shoulder reptile print black dress: F21; Clutch: Thrift; Blue Suede Pumps (not shown): Aldo; Belt: Borrowed; Earrings: Old; Polish: NYX-Las Vegas

I went to a cabaret in D.C. over the weekend. . .I'd almost forgotten how good it feels to be "home," and oh how I LOVE the city. It was an interesting, but good, experience to say the least. Dressed up, had some drinks, and danced the night away. What more could a (party) girl ask for?

Dots & Stripes

Striped turtleneck dress: H&M; Blazer: Anthropologie; Tights: Laila Rowe; Oxfords: Michael Khors; Clutch: For Love 21; Necklace: DIY; Earrings: Vintage; Bangles: F21, H&M, Aldo; Rings: F21; Polish: OPI-Big Apple Red

I wore this to my senior social last week. It was at a measly bar downtown but since I hadn't dressed up in a while I decided to go for the kill. I can't seem to get enough of horizontal stripes and blazers these days, and the tights were a nice mix of pattern. I must say though, I'm starting to get an itch for the springtime. . .the weather, the clothes, or lack there of rather ;-). Miami will definitely be a nice change of scenery, to say the least. I'll be in D.C. for the weekend, so look for pictures when I return on Sunday, happy weekend!

Model Pose?

Fur vest:F21; Sequin jacket & Trousers: 2b bebe; striped t-shirt: H&M; Heels: Aldo(old); Studded clutch: For Love 21; Earrings: Vintage; Rings: F21; Polish: OPI-Need Sunglasses

I was forced into doing a photo shoot for a friends class, and I must really love my friends because I consider myself the furthest person from a model. It wasn't half bad, but it was the first and last time I'll even consider doing it again.

Night at the Rodeo

Sweater: Old Navy; Denim button down: thrift; skirt: H&M; tights: old, DIY runs; Tan riding boots: UO; earrings, rings, bracelet: F21; Polish: Sally Hansen-Cinnamon

I went mechanical bull riding over the weekend and I didn't last longer than 30 seconds but it was entertaining nonetheless. I hope everyone had as good a weekend as I did!

Into the Night

Blazer: Zara; Striped t-shirt: H&M; Feather skirt: Bebe; Tights: old; Clutch: F21; Booties (not shown): Steve Madden; Earrings: F21; Leather bracelets: UO and F21; Ring: Old; OPI-Big Apple Red

I had to live it up for my last few nights in the city, considering I'll be deprived from it for the next few months while back at school. I love cold crazy nights out on the town with fun friends (and I'm pretty sure I just created my own tongue twister). Oh how I'll miss the city, though I'm looking forward to my last semester...more

Out With the Old, In With the New

Cream lace dress: F21; Tights: old; Lace up booties: Steve Madden; Rings: F21; Bangles: H&M, Aldo; Earrings: random kiosk; Polish: OPI-Big Apple Red

I spent New Years Eve with my best girls (my favorite accessory) at the grandiose Gaylord National Hotel and it was nothing less than I N C R E D I B L E . What better way to bring in such an important year than with great company and a champagne toast? I can't wait to see what great things come from 2010, Happy New Year everyone!
