What's on my Christmas list this year? Anything that sparkles! I am craving more glitter, sequins, and sparkle. It makes me so happy! 

What type of patterns or textures are you craving this season?

Hope everyone has a fun, relaxing weekend.

Engagement Celebration

We had an engagement celebration last Friday with brothers, sisters, grandparents, and the future wedding party! It was wonderful and such a great time. 

We cannot wait to start planning the big day!

Below is a very similar look to what I was wearing during the party. Rather than the gorgeous cross necklace shown below, I wore a dainty necklace that my father gave my mother for their first anniversary. It made the day that more special.

It's a Boy!

Mint Blazer and Lace Pencil Skirt (F21), Sequin Top (Greylin, C/O Piperlime), Taupe Tights (J.Crew), Bag (Balenciaga), Tan Shoes (Coach), Necklace (Vintage), Lime Quartz Ring (Macy's), Bracelets (T&Co, Antique, Handmade), Lip Gloss (Chanel, 166).

No, I am NOT expecting!! Yesterday was the baby shower for my soon-to-be-born nephew, James Marshall. Lauren, the mom-to-be, looked so cute and happy. It was great spending time and catching up with family, and they received beautiful gifts! James will be a spoiled little baby :)

The food was at a wonderful italian restaurant, and they made me a gluten-free plate too! I was so thankful.. the mimosas were amazing as well! 

I was going for pastels to represent the baby shower theme. I also wanted to look really girly, because I feel it was an appropriate occasion to do so! I wanted to wear my coach sandals, and it was a bit chilly. So, I wore these taupe J.Crew tights with them (seen before with the lace pencil skirt). I think the taupe and light pink work really well together. 

I can't wait to be an auntie!!

Such an exciting time

Pastels & Lace

Blouse (my mom's closet, unsure about where she purchased it), Skirt (F21), Tights (J.Crew), Shoes (Seen in previous post), Bag (Kate Spade NY), Sunnies (Chanel), Jewelry (Vintage and Handmade), Nail Polish (OPI)

You can obviously tell that I am ready for Easter! I just love pastels. They're so girly and cheerful. I found this skirt at Forever 21 not too long ago. I just couldn't resist! I don't wear many skirts, but I fell in love with this one, because it has a vintage look to it. I can always dress it down, and make it more work appropriate by pairing it with a sweater or cardigan.

 I also snatched this blouse from my mom's closet! It's so pretty, and I wanted to keep the pastel theme running throughout my outfit. 

The tights were on sale after Christmas at J Crew. I was immediately intrigued by the unique taupe color and insanely marked-down clearance price. ;)

I wanted to wear minimal jewelry with this look. So, the skirt could stand out more. My mom gave me this antique ring the other day. I just love her taste!

Finally, this Kate Spade bag is perfect for school and work. It fits everything in it! I am so happy I snatched this up at the online sample sale a month or so ago..

Happy Easter & Happy Weekend!

New Coach flats I just bought last weekend. They are so comfortable!

My beloved Balenciaga, nautical top, and a strawberry colored blazer I just picked up from F21. It's loose fitted but still looks put together.

I'm a Marilyn lover. These are two of about 20 framed pictures I have of this beauty (& I'm not joking haha).

My mom had put together this charm bracelet for me since I was little. I decided to add a Juicy bracelet she also bought me to the party.

There's something relaxing about painting my own nails

A perfect lazy night! 

I'm such a girly girl. I love sparkles. You can't really tell in this photo, but the sweater fabric is a light pink. Found this baby at the J Crew Factory a couple years ago for an amazing price. It is still one of my favorite pieces.

T&CO cupcake necklace I received as a gift from one of my bests and a striped sweater I just couldn't resist!

My baby boo <3 He looks so cranky in this picture!

Rebecca Minkoff & a vintage scarf

A cozy sweater, leggings, and Burberry flats for a chilly day.

My favorite dinner. Dinner salad and salmon from Francesca's

I made this little card for my Boss's baby shower :) 

Just some snapshots I've taken with Instagram over the past few weeks!

I have to keep busy while my boyfriend is still in Afghanistan. He only about 23 days left!!! :)

A Shopaholic's Wish List

Pastel Blouse, Alexander Wang Bag, Christian Louboutins, Kate Spade Glitter Mug, Silver Skirt, Chanel Polish, 

Alice in the Eve LIza Sequin Blazer, Tory Burch Iphone Case

Alright, so as if I don't already have everything I could need and more, I still manage to make a new wish list in my head daily. However, when it came down to actually making this, I had a hard time thinking of things I REALLY wanted!..But I managed to find several items, and now I can't stop thinking about them! I believe in positive thinking. So, if I make this post. I will own them some day.. ;)

I really want any pastel blouse, sequin blazer, and glitter skirt. These particular ones just looked so pretty! On the other hand, I do want a pair of Christian Louboutins (especially in nude), and that beautiful Alexander Wang Rocco Leather Bag . . 

The Kate Spade glitter mugs are so so cute. I also love this Chanel polish color. It reminds me of Tiffany's <3 , and I want a Tory Burch Iphone case, but I will not pay the price, and hoping I'll become lucky and find it on sale!

Sorry for the short post, incredibly hectic week. School is taking over my existence!
