Spring Fever

I am dying...DYING for Spring. I can't stand the cold. Today made it even worse when it decided to be nice. I walked across the parking lot at work to a little noodle place for lunch and it was soooooo beautiful and warm. Made me sick. Not literally, but like sick because tomorrow will be cold again probably definitely. 
Anyway, I decided that I wanted to make a Spring wish list because I need to think about everything Spring and make myself incredibly sad and miserable...

1. This Dress from Free People.

2. These Shoes from Coach. 

3. This Bikini from Victoria's Secret.

And I already purchased this bag from Coach...

I'm sure there are a million more things, but I can't think of them right now. I'm planning on some outfit posts very soon! Until then, stay cool dudes! :)

Book Review, "How to Look Expensive"

I just purchased this book a few days ago and although I typically keep my reading to the magazine genre this caught my attention so I bought it. Let me also say that I adore technology and I "have to have" just about every single gadget that comes out, there is nothing better than flipping pages in a book or magazine. I just can't bring myself to use an e-reader or iPad in my case, even though I'm writing this on my iPad. It's different ok!  

Anyway, the book is written by Andrea Pomerantz Lustig, who is a long time beauty editor for Glamour magazine. Glamour is one of my favorite mags so I was über excited to read this book. I've read about half way through, but I get the gist. She gives tips on how to look expensive on a budget (or not) and there are some great tips. My issue is that the stuff she talks about for the most part isn't new. It's all the stuff I have read a million times in a million magazines. I will however say this, if you are not a magazine lunatic like myself and don't get so many every month that you lose track and actually purchase some twice and then have to give the excess to friends all while your husband shakes his head at you and then criticizes your use of run-on sentences...then this is the book for you! 
This woman does know her stuff. She gives tips on getting great deals at the salon, getting glowy skin on a budget, and a ton of other stuff. The best part is that this is info from beauty insiders so it's valuable stuff. I also like that she keeps it interesting with photos and commentary from famous stylists and such. 
So would I buy this book again? Probably not. Should you? Yes, but only if you aren't a magazine junkie like moi. If you are then just save your money and buy a new top instead, or you know whatever... I'm not the boss of you.

Soggy Cereal and a Broken Computer

My laptop is broken. It's currently being fixed which is great, however blogging on my husband's massive desktop is somewhat unnerving! What font do I normally use? What size font? What does "this" button do... So much going on. 

I was just eating a bowl of cereal and then it got soggy. I haven't ever really hated soggy cereal, but this specific cereal is kinda gross when it gets soggy. I ate it anyway all the while hearing my mother's voice echoing in my head... "There are children that don't have ANY cereal out there that would LOVE to have just a bite of that soggy cereal!" Sheesh. At least it was chocolate. If I have to eat sog I would rather eat chocolate sog than any other sog. 

So there is this dress I want. It's amazeballs and I am so sad that I didn't purchase it. I found it at a cool little shop in Nashville called Smack! It would have been mine except for the $104 price tag. You can look at it here. Isn't it beautiful? It actually costs less in the store than on the website which almost never happens. I should just go buy it right? Help me out here people! Typically when I can't get an item out of my head I just go ahead and get it, but with the holidays just ending I feel kinda bad. GAH! 

I hope I have filled your day with enough random blather (is that a real word? Seems very British) to last all week! If I buy that dress I will wear it on here eventually, so that's how you will know. Until next time, take care of your computer, eat your cereal before it gets soggy, and learn a new trade. No really, I will ask you what you learned and you better have something!

Christmas Wishes

I know I haven't been on here in a while, but I have my reasons! No really! Hear me out... I got a new job! I'm very excited about it, and I am enjoying it very much, but it doesn't leave much time for blogging especially in the winter when it gets dark very early! I am now an assistant manager at Coach! I'm finally in a job where I can relate my love for fashion to my every day life and do something I love! It is retail which is much different, but I'm liking it. I also love the people I work with, although I miss my old coworkers like crazy! Well no more about that! Here is my Christmas wish list (or some of it!). 

Free People Forester Scarf
Ciate' Nail Caviar
Coach Double Zip Accordion Wallet
Victoria's Secret PJs
Free People French Courtship Slip Dress

I love the Christmas season, and I am sooooo excited for all that goes along with it! The lights, the tree, the scents, the food! Everyone seems to be happier and the Starbucks coffee cups are so cheery! Don't you just love having the lights on the tree while Christmas music is playing? Maybe a cookie in one hand and a cup of hot cocoa in the other? GAH! I'm excited about Christmas, New Years, and even Valentines Day! Hopefully the world won't end on the 21st. That would pretty much ruin all of my plans! 

I promise to post more outfits soon. I have so many that I have planned and I even took photos once, but they got deleted. Wah wah.

Day Tripper

I stood by a train today. It was loud and made this one really big noise that made me think I

might have been shot. It wouldn't be the first time I've heard a noise like that, but it never ceases to scare the living crap out of me. Have you ever been shot? I bet it is not pleasant. I mean that much noise hitting you at once...

I'm listening to the Beatles and watching Friends while I post this. I'm not doing it for one of those "see if the lyrics line up to the story" things....well now I am. It's actually pretty late. I don't normally post this late, but when Ross starts singing "I like big butts" I can't look away. Especially when Paperback Writer is playing in the background. 
My husband hates it when I wear blazers, but I love blazers. Does your husband or boyfriend hate blazers? I would have thought it was only him, but other guys have told me the same thing and I just don't get it. Why are blazers so terrible to men? I mean they are typically pretty fitted, they pull an outfit together, they keep you at least a little bit warm...WHY WOULDN'T YOU LOVE THAT??? 
Well I am pretty tired, Friends will be going off in a little bit, and I am clean out of hallucinogens so I think I will go to bed. Maybe I will wear my blazer to bed just to freak my husband out, or maybe just because blazers also make fabulous pajama tops. That could be a new thing. The blazerjama or blajama, or palazer....
Good night.
