They Call it Life

Seems as though the things that are too good to be true, are just exactly that. But then again if there were no bumps in the road life would be boring, wouldn't it?

Boston Weekend Recap

I spent the weekend in Boston with some of my favorite people, celebrating my friend Marissa's birthday. The five of us (senior year college roommates) had not all been together since June when we saw Taylor Swift in concert. It had been way too long (let's not let that happen ever again ladies!)! We spent the night singing our lungs out at a really cool piano bar (even though they didn't play any of the songs we requested--except Justin Beiber) Howl at the Moon, taking lots of roomie pics (of course my camera never made it out of my bag though, so I'm stealing everyone else's!), toasting shots to the birthday girl, and then ended the night watching the Devil Wear's Prada and eating pizza. I'd say it was a pretty solid, and much needed girl's weekend! I'm looking forward to the next few months with more birthday adventures (it is birthday season after all), and sticking to my new once a month goal of seeing everyone!

Friday Happiness

taken from here

I'm so excited for this weekend! One of my roommates from college is celebrating her birthday up in Boston (where all of my roommates have settled down...I'm the lonely one here in NYC), so I am taking a quick trip up north to see everyone. I'll literally be up and back in 24 hours, but if it means I get to spend some time with my girls, I'm all for it. So in advance...HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARISSA!! Hope this year is the best one yet!

Happiness from the past week...

Pastels

I've been doing a lot of market work for an upcoming cover shoot and have been calling in a ton of pastel jeans. I'm kind of hooked, and have been finding myself lusting after a few pairs, particularly the leopard Current/Elliott and the J.Crew jeans. Seems like spring is in full gear here in our office...now if only the weather would get on board.

Wardrobe Wednesday

Yesterday was one of those days where I didn't feel like getting dressed for work. I would have much rather lounged around in sweats all day, but unfortunately, that was not an option. So instead of fighting the urge to wear sweatpants, I pulled out my favorite cashmere harem pants, paired it with a comfy white tee and an interesting necklace, and tied it together with a structured black blazer (shoulder pads included). I was able to stay comfy whilst still looking work appropriate, and I have to say, it was a pretty cute outfit!

A Little Inspiration

Hard at work this week. Lot's of exciting things happening soon. No time to blog, so here is a little inspiration that suits my mood.

Friday Happiness

Friday is upon us once again! This week seemed to fly by. Maybe it was having Monday off for Martin Luther King Day. Maybe it was the photo shoot I had on Tuesday. Maybe it is just time flying by as it seems to have been doing for the past year and a half. I swear, since I've graduated from college, time seems to just wiz by.  It scares me that I'm not paying attention to the little things and I feel like I need to take a step back and enjoy them. New resolution (is that even allowed 20 days into the new year?)? 

Anywayyy, this weekend I'm planning on taking it easy... I've been feeling slightly under the weather for 2 weeks now and I want to knock any inkling of sickness that might be lingering, before I head to Boston next weekend to visit my college friends (soooo excited!). I'm sure a trip to the mall and maybe some time spent with my guy. Oh yea, and my Saturday morning Pilates class is a given :)

Enjoy your weekend!

Happy Happy Happy...
