My New Year Wish List

nye

First of all I just wanted to update you that my laptop crashed this week making editing my posts a nightmare. I will attempt to post just not in the usual style of this blog.

Anywho, I usually make a mental New Year’s Resolution list that I kinda stick to throughout the year. But this being a fashion blog and all, I don’t think you care to know what I plan on changing about myself. So I created a New Year’s Wish List. These are some items I plan to put some money aside from each paycheck for.

1. My first and most needed purchase will probably be a new laptop. I hoenstly don’t care which brand it is, as long as it has word, photoshop, and a web browser I am good.

2. I don’t know if it’s the effect of living in San Francisco or that I just have a more mature sense of style, but I have been longing for a good quality, gold watch. I’ve got my eye on you Michael Kors.

3. I rarely wear name brand pieces because I think  you can find the same quality items for cheaper, but this Tory Burch flats sparked my interest as soon as I moved to this city. Every stylish girl has a pair! Honestly, I didn’t even own a pair of flats before I started working and now I think I need them in my closet!

4. New work pants! I do own about 3 pairs that I switch between but they have stretched out to the max. I need a quality pair that will last a bit longer. I’ve been waiting for the skinny pants at Gap to go on sale and as soon as they do, they will be mine.

5. I have wanted a Longchamp bag since college but found a great Ralph Lauren one instead. Now I’m back to wanting one! Definitely in all black since it is my favorite color (in case you didn’t know).

Well those are the current items that I am saving up for. Hopefully there will be some trips and concerts in between these purchases but I think it’s a pretty solid list.

What are you hoping to buy this year?

Casual Friday 19

What a nice short week I just had! I can’t believe it’s already Friday but I am so happy that it is! Monday is my 23rd birthday!
This week I have been shopping on the sales and loving it! Today I’m keeping up with that trend and giving you an outfit that will be light on your wallet.

Sales

Sure Christmas shopping is fun but personally I find the post-Christmas sales to be where the true deals are at! It can be really hard to hold off on that new clutch or pair of heels till after the 25th but trust me, it is so worth it! I decided to create and outfit using pieces from some sites that are having really great sales.

sale 1
Top, Shoes, Pants, Scarf, Jacket
The outfit above uses pieces from Gap, Old Navy, Target, Foreign Exchange, and Forever21.
Gap is offering up to 60% off in their sale section. Also 25% off regular priced items with the code gap2012
Old Navy has up to 50% off select clothing online and 75% off in store. I think they have the best deals right now. I scored new sweaters for work for only $10
Target doesn’t have as wide-sweeping of a sale as the other stores but they do have some select shoes and clothing on sale.
Everything at Foreign Exchange, minus a few coats, is $20 or less! Definitely a site worth checking out.
Forever21 is taking an extra 50% off their sale items. I think the jacket I used above is a complete steal!

sale 2
Skirt, Jacket, Scarf, Bracelet, Top, Dress
These are some nice finds that I came across while doing some shopping of my own. Some pieces come from Old Navy, Macy’s, and Gather Boutique.
Macy’s is offering an extra 10-15% off by using the code “Joy”
Gather Boutique is taking 20% off everything if you use the code “Afterxmas”

Which stores do you think have the best sales right now?

First of all, so sorry for the lack of posting last week. I finally finished applying to law school and had a crazy time prepping for the holidays. But I am back! This is probably one of the nicest Mondays I’ve had since starting work. I’m home! Honestly nothing beats being in my childhood room. But for those of you who do have to work today or just need some inspiration here ya go!

Thank goodness this week went by quickly! I am very ready for the weekend (Santacon anyone!?). The Casual Friday outfit below is one of my personal favorites! For a little bit over $100 I think it is definitely worth the price and I might just have to buy it all! It’s comfy, warm, and cute. The perfect combo for the weather! Also the top can definitely be warn to a more casual Holiday party.

Holiday Party

It is officially Holiday party time! Last week I was invited to one for a company that wasn’t my own. I was completely at a loss as to what I should wear sicne this was my first one ever. Fortunately I didn’t stand out too much, but now I know what works and what doesn’t for your company’s holiday party. Below are 3 great outfits for any Holiday party. Some are fancier than others and it ultimately depends on the venue yours is at.
ps. I can’t wait for mine!

Casual Friday 17

tgi-friday1

I was so happy this morning when I woke up and realized it was Friday! Today I was really inspired by earth tones which is a pallet that really never goes out of style. It’s also super sunny today so I threw in a pair of super cheap but super cute shades. The trench is great for when the sun and the temperature go down. Although it’s a relaxed look, it is still polished and great for work!
