30x30 Challenge: Day #5, Peaches & cream garnished with mint

My favorite 30x30 outfit thus far! This challenge is much harder than I thought it would be. Looking back (ha, it has only been 5 days), I have probably only been satisfied with 3 of my outfits.

30x30 Challenge: Day #3, Regrets?...maybe

As I was on the elliptical this morning doing my morning workout, I played virtual dress up in my mind. I wanted to make smart choices for my 30x30 challenge  so I wouldn't run out of steam later. I think the wool check mini goes well with the burgundy pullover, and both are pieces I can easily remix later. I have no idea what inspired me to pull out my scuba blazer, which I bought a month ago and have only worn once. The blazer fits a bit big, and so I've shied away from wearing it. I guess I was subconsciously trying to force myself to find ways to make this work. When I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror at work, I wasn't sure if I liked this pairing. It might be a bit too much? Clashing colors? I'm not sure...still trying to make a judgement myself. Thoughts? I would love to hear your honest opinion, really!

30x30 Challenge: Day #2, Back to the grind

Weekends always go by so fast, don't they? Right when I feel like I'm really enjoying my weekend, it's Sunday night and the grind is about to start all over again. What is keeping me going these days is knowing that a three day weekend is coming up soon, and with that, plenty of festivities!

Review: J.Crew Spring 2013 Arrivals, Part 1


After the crazy 50% sale last month, J.Crew is back with their new arrivals this week! Although I didn't plan on buying anything after going overboard last month, I thought it wouldn't hurt to stop by just to take a peek! In fact, when sales roll around again, this will probably be beneficial to J.Crew since I won't be ordering multiple sizes just to find my perfect fit (or so I tell myself).

Red and burgundy...again?


Happy Friday! I know that burgundy has been everywhere this winter, but I just can't help but love it. I think it pairs so lovely with navy, and thus it's a match that I just keep going back to.

Classic blue and white

If you follow other East Coast bloggers, you would probably know about the crazy weather we have been having. Cold, warm, rain, snow, just everything! I know, I take all my pictures in my room, but as soon as I get home, I just want to throw everything off and change into my pajamas.

Review: the J.Crew Icon Trench



 Ever since I was little, I have admired the look of the trench coat, whether it be on a woman or a man. Nothing really says business(wo)man than a trench and maybe a pant suit, the latter which I think makes me look like a little girl in her mother's clothes. Though I would love to own a Burberry trench coat in the future, I wanted to find an alternative that would be a little more economical for the time being. Enter the J.Crew Icon trench.

Review: J. Crew snowcap puffer, tipped hacking jacket, schoolboy blazer in wool flannel

These past few months, a majority of my credit card charges were due to online purchases from J. Crew. I have been on the quest to find my perfect winter coat (and I'm pretty sure I'll have a winner by Monday when I get a package), which has resulted in a bunch of returns due to sizing issues. In addition, the 30%/40% online and in store sales have proven dangerous for me, as I check the website each morning before work and often just make the impulse buy before sizes are gone. Though these items are on sale now and will be gone soon, I figured a review could be handy as similar styles may appear next year. At the very least it would be good for future reference, right?

Snowcap Quilted Jacket in Dark Olive, xxs, xs

The difference between the xs and xxs. The xs is wider by just a little, probably 1/2 an inch or less total. The sleeves of the xs also seem a tad longer and wider, but by a negligible amount.
