A Pop of Color

Last week the weather was pretty chilly, but I managed to wear a light sweater and put my leather jacket on to add some warmth. My outfit was grey, black, and white. While I loved the outfit itself, I knew I needed to add a pop of color. Thanks to my J.Crew scarf I was able to do just that!





{because you know it's so sunny inside.}

Happy Hump Day!
Friday is almost here, I can't wait!

Spring Break Countdown: 2 days!

I Came To Win.

This week is packed with projects being due, classes to attend, observations in elementary schools, babysitting, and trying to keep my social life. Nicki Minaj is going to get me through this week and then it's home on Friday! Hopefully I can find the time to do my laundry, clean the apartment and pack!




Happy Gossip Girl Monday to all my Minions!
XOXO

Rocking To The Beat


Introducing Urban Ears Headphones! I was in the market for a new pair of headphones and while I desperately wanted buy the Beats by Dr. Dre I had to be a little more realistic. $299.95 is a little too much to be spending right now, so maybe they'll be my big summer splurge. I went to Nordstrom during Christmas break and came across all these different colored boxes. I checked them out and then went to the Urban Ears website and fell in love. Thanks to my loyal friend, Santa for bringing them to me! I love, love, looove them!


Check out the sweet Plattan video here.



Not only are the colors fun but they block out all the outside noise! I wear them in the library which is great because not everyone uses their inside voices. And I love how they have the remote feature on the cord! Anddd Urban Ears allows you to plug in another set of headphones to share the music.




Santa brought me the Plattan headphones in Raspberry.
{Unfortunately the color is now retired.}
And $60 is A LOT better than $299.95 and the sound is great. 
No more Apple headphones for this girl!

Weekend Fun

My weekend started a little early when I received my Valentine's Day package from my parents.
Of course it included some goodies from J.Crew. 


Breakfast on Friday morning.


Saturday I went shopping with a friend and I was graced with this special on foursquare. 
Does anyone have this app on their phone?
I never understood the purpose of using the app until I got this discount.
Andddd the lady at Swoozies gave me 20% off instead of 10%.
Greatest purchase ever!


Found these polish strips at Ulta. 
Love the polka dots!


Stopped in for a treat at Red Mango.
Vanilla Bean yogurt, strawberries, dark chocolate chips, and caramel sauce.
YUM


Quick trip to Charming Charlie. 
Might be my new favorite place to shop for costume jewelry.


IN LOVE WITH THIS NECKLACE.


We ended the day by visiting the Pet Store.
It always tortures me but I go anyway.
Meet the little prince.


If only I could have left the store with this little maltese.
He was so cute!


Hope you had a great weekend!

Picture Update

This past weekend I went out for dinner and drinks with my roommate from last year. We got all dressed up and then headed to one of her favorite restaurants and now one of mine too! We headed into Jamestown and went to a small restaurant called Southern Roots. I had heard so many wonderful things about this restaurant but never got the chance to go, so when my roommate, Olivia, asked me I was so excited. 

first time trying the tucked in look.

FINALLY able to wear my fur coat!

southern roots makes you buy their bread, it's not free. 
totally rude but totally to die for.
rosemary loaf bread with herb butter. 

calamari is probably my favorite thing to order at restaurants.

southern roots organic salad

Happy Valentine's Day to all my readers!



Today I'm sporting a pink gingham shirt, a pink belt, black pants, rhinestone bow ballet flats, and a statement necklace. I can't wait to see if anyone else is wearing pink or red today!





I hope everyone has a great day and eats lots of candy.

Emma Graham Spring Line 2012






Have you been searching for a modern twist on a timeless classic?  Well, look no further than Emma Graham Designs! I was lucky enough to get a sneak peak of EGD’s Spring Line and it’s fabulous! Bright colors, exposed zippers, and ruffles oh my! Emma and Jackie are best friends and creators of Emma Graham Designs. They created a contemporary and stylish clothing line for the girl who wants to stand out in the crowd. Every girl should have a piece of Emma Graham hanging in their closet.

Last year I was introduced to EGD when my friend and fellow blogger Summer Wind hosted a giveaway. I was the lucky winner of a Dayna Skirt. The skirt is adorable and I have gotten so many compliments when I wear it.


Their spring line is coming out today, February 13th, just in time for Valentine’s Day. The line offers a variety of solid colors and bright accent colors. All of the styles include special details such as pearl buttons, hand beading, crochet trim, colorful leather accents, ruffles, and pockets. 
Below are my top 5 picks of the Emma Graham Spring Line:

1. Sammi- Blue is definitely my go to color this year. This skirt would be perfect with a tank top or a cute blouse.


2. Jordan- I love this dress! The scalloped stripes are the perfect detail for the dress.


3. Aimee- I love anything purple so of course this dress made my list. The green piping really adds detail to the dress to create a sweet and simple look.


4. Kristen- Exposed zippers are a must have! And an orange one is even better!


5. Mandy- I love the detail in the back. The color is perfect for the spring too.


Dying to see more of Emma Graham’s spring line??? 
Then head on over to Emma Graham now and order your new spring wardrobe!

Pinning Is The New Winning

Obsessed with Pinterest and all it has to offer? Me too, me too. The problem is I can never get off Pinterest to actually make all the cool things I see! But what I do have time for is to save all the amazing pictures I come across. Here are some of my favorite fashion pictures I've collected.
