Looks I'm Loving for Fall!

Fall is nearing, thank god, and Fall clothes are coming out in stores.  I cannot believe we are going to have to start thinking about sweaters and jackets.  

Items on my Fall wish list include: 1) a new black leather jacket, 2) any chunky sweaters, 3) boots (always - even though I just bough a new pair of Frye's last season) and of course 4) scarves - preferably a really long ivory cashmere one!

Additionally, here are a few looks I'm loving right now for the Fall.  Hopefully it can serve as inspiration to you as well.

I love this look of an over-sized black sweater with a great pair of stilettos.  I am pretty sure my Grandma Kay's philosophy that heels go with anything works here.  ;)  I cannot agree more.

I must find this flannel shirt and the lighter colored jeans!  I pretty much have the boots, so check that off the list.

 This hat is adorable!  Especially when you pair it with a little black leather jacket and a great blouse.

 These are only a few looks on my very long list that I've been eying lately.  Great inspiration for the colder months ahead.  Especially when you can occasionally feel not so cute with a million layers of clothes on for warmth.

What's on your wish list for the Fall?

Weekend Recap

Happy Monday!  Monday always creeps up faster than I would like.  Thank goodness next week is a four day week, followed by a four day weekend.  Much needed relaxation ahead!

What makes it worse is that I can never get to sleep on Sunday night.  It makes for a really rough Monday morning.

We had another adventurous weekend in the outer boroughs of New York.  To kick off Saturday we headed down to Beekman's Beer Garden on the water.  Gorgeous day!  You really didn't feel like you were in New York.


How can you have a bad day when this is your view?


After drinking way too much beer (I'm not a beer person, I don't even know why I had any), we headed to Flushing for dinner at Sik Gaek.  This place was insane.

(In case you were wondering, this lobster was still moving when it was brought to our table.)



Sundays are typically my day to prepare for the week.  However, I still like to relax.  I have yet to find a good balance between the to because I always end Sunday night really stressed.  

Maybe I should start to prepare things on Saturday?  I don't know.  I'll figure it out eventually.  Maybe I should just hire an assistant.

Have a great week!

Likable Links

This week has already been crazy.  But OMG, this weather is amazing!  We aren't having to turn our AC on as much, which is great, but the mornings aren't unbearably hot anymore.  Thank God!

Time for some Likable Links!


** Between the Cronut and Waffle Tacos, this is why America is overweight.
** People seem to be freaking out at the possibility of Beyonce cutting her hair.  Whatever.


** I love this Facebook page for everyone to show their photos of the WTC program

** Very interesting article. 


** And last but not least, what IF Disney Princesses had Instagram.

Have a great rest of the week!

Looks I'm Loving!

Summer is almost over but I'm even more inclined to buy summer clothes with everything going on sale.  As much as I love Fall, sometimes Fall clothes aren't as fun to shop for.

I am loving everything about this look; the grungy jeans with a more feminine top.

I love the simplicity of this dress.  Super cheap!


Gotta love the classic pair of Chucks.  But what really makes this look is the gorgeous Celine bag!  I DEFINITELY want one of those. :(


There is still time to pull off any of these three adorable looks while we still have warmer weather.  All I need to purchase is the Celine bag now.  :)

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Weekend Recap!

Does anyone else take so many pictures that their phone becomes too full?  Just me?  I figured.

My camera was full, so not too many pictures to post from this weekend's festivities.  :(

 Friday we obviously stayed in (so relaxing) and watched House of Cards.  I'm going to say this again, WATCH THIS SHOW!  So good!  As I get older, relaxing weekends become more crucial to actually functioning during the week.

It was another gorgeous Saturday and you can feel Fall nearing.  I cannot stand the heat, so cooler weather has been great.

 We made one (very quick) stop at the Golden Mall out in Flushing.  It is supposed to have some pretty authentic food.  However, since we had just had Dim Sum, we opted not to get anything.  Really sketchy place.

Totally random photo, I just thought it was so pretty outside yesterday.  Great day to hit the gym and groccery store for this week's essentials.  


I am headed the Hamptons with my coworkers today.  I have been two other times since I've been with the company and it proves to be a great team building experience.  Definitely breaks up the week.

In totally unrelated news, we are 21 days away from our one year wedding anniversary.  I cannot believe it's almost been a year.  Looking forward to celebrating over a nice long weekend.  :)


Cheers to a great week!

Happy Friday!

Crazy week this week!  Three posts this week isn't too bad, right?  


After a family filled weekend last weekend, we do not have too much planned this Saturday and Sunday; thank goodness.

I'll be back next week with all the normal posts.

Have a great weekend!

Likable Links!

Is it Friday yet?  Coming back from any sort of time-off is always so hard.

Here are some interesting links from this week to help ease you in to Wednesday.  

** We are without a doubt going here.  One fun fact you might not know about me...I LOVE fried chicken!  Love!


** There are a lot of places on this list I want to cross off in the future.  I hope Australia is one sooner rather than later.

** Get Going seems like a really awesome concept!  Although, I'm not sure I could relinquish control of our final destination like that.



** A few months ago I read Lean In.  This article definitely takes an alternative view.  It's interesting.

** Great advice from Olivia Wilde! 

Happy Wednesday!
