The Right... Pop of Color

 

While I mostly love myself some neutrals, often times I can't resist the right pop of color - I have a feeling this scarf will be in heavy rotation this Spring/Summer.

 

 

And how cool are these shoes?  They're by United Nude - they take shoe design to a whole new level (check out their website here).

Blazer: Zara (old - similar here and here), Dress: c/o L. Mae Boutique (old, similar here and here), Scarf: c/o Shawlsmith London, Shoes: c/o United Nude, Sunglasses: Michael Kors (on sale!)

The Week: Food, Fashion and Fitness

This Week I...

Had kind of a crazy week at work, leaving little time for fun stuff!  Well, let's be serious, I did spend some time drooling over this ASOS dress and crop top.  Oh and this only-in-my-dreams Erdem floral dress - it's to.die.

I hit up the United Nude and Elizabeth & James sample sales on Monday - and came home with a really great pair of United Nude pumps that I can't wait to share!

I scooped up a couple of pieces from the Peter Som x Kohl's collection!  I grabbed this striped romper and the black jumpsuit - I'm really hoping I've finally found my "perfect black jumpsuit"!  Hurry, it's actually all on sale as we speak!  And take an extra 20% off when you spend $100 or more with  code CHOCOLATE #bestdealever.

I received my new Graphic Image passport cover, just in time for booking my flight for my big adventure this year!  Stay tuned to find out where I'm going!

I figured out I was featured on Elle ES!  Check it out - I'm in their printed jumpsuit roundup.

And in other news, I made my go-to kale salad for the week and still can't get over how filling and delicious it is!  And I made it to the gym 2 times... #whomp. 

Hope you all had a great week!

The Week: Fashion, Food and Fitness

This last week I...

Hit the gym 4 times!  I'm finally getting back into a routine and it feels great.  Now I just need to actually use that kickboxing class I purchased on Groupon....

Had an impromptu brunch and shopping sesh with Jen and Krista last Saturday when our photo sesh got completely rained out.  Krista and I ventured to the UWS (like wayyyyyy UWS) to get supplies at Michael's for the DIY I posted about last weekend.  I ended up with a new friend for my dresser, a super cute pair of shoes from TJ Maxx (coming to the blog next week!) and some hot pink striped straws.  Because everyone needs hot pink striped straws.  Right?  Right.

Could not stop drooling over this Halston Heritage dress.  And as fate would have it the day after I tried it on for size to stalk until it went on sale, it went on sale for 40% off.  After working my "shopping math" wizard magic, I scored it for more than 50% off.  Now that's a great feeling.

Found out I'm running the NYC marathon!!!!!  What?!  Time to start training!  Well, not seriously til August...

Started up with #StyleMeApril!  It's been about 2 years since I first participated and it was super helpful with my outifts last week!  Want to learn more?  Head to Hilary Rushford's blog for all the deets.

Guest posted for Sarah as she makes a big move back to our hometown!  Check out the post here.

Met David Bromstad at the David Bromstad x Naturalizer press event!  I love David and was SO excited to meet him and see his collection - it truly was inspiring.  More on deets that later! 

I picked up some coral nail polish for the first time ever!  One of my besties raved about Covergirl Outlast Stay Brilliant so I thought I'd give it a shot and try a new hue!

Made this amazing chicken/bacon/broccoli/rice dish - it was SO easy and a fun little treat for dinner each night. 

Also, I'm gearing up for the Peter Som x Kohl's launch next week - have you seen it?  Seriously great pieces - check them all out here.  What are you eyeing?!  I am having a hard time narrowing down my choices...  That could be a problem.

May have done some post HH shopping with the Piperlime 25% off sale - they have some really great stuff right now!  Hurry, the sale ends tomorrow!

I'm also still planning to stop by the United Nude sample sale next week - if you're in the area be sure to check it out!


Whew - that was a full week wasn't it?  What did you do this week?

The Week: Fashion, Food and Fitness

 This week I...

Made it to the gym twice - I'm getting there!

Made this super delicious cauliflower sauce recipe from Pinch of Yum (I'm insisting you try it - it's such a great substitute for alfredo sauce!)

Stopped by the Trask and Johnston & Murphy press preview - they have a lot of great things in store for Fall! In case you didn't catch my post with Trask - check it out here!  These wedges will be in heavy rotation come spring!

Am debating trying this little DIY project - how cute is it?

Am currently scheming a savings plan for this beyond adorable swim suit - the pink and the scollops are just to.die.for.

Spent a solid hour on Tuesday night catching up on Suri's Burn Book - I normally don't keep up with celebrity gossip but I often forget how hilarious this thing is!

Discovered the coolest "color finder" website via one of my coworkers - check it out here!

Stumbled upon cute little prints by "imkellycummings" and love this one about "glorifying busy"

Also, I'm planning on attending the United Nude sample sale on April 8 - if you're in the area check it out - details here!
