Omg Fall!

Alright, so if you only know me through my blog, you could already guess that I love Fall. And I'm very excited that tomorrow is September 1st! yay! Go Fall.

Okay enough about fall :)

I miss France, badly.
I miss the language and the lovely culture. Soo I really want to save up some money to get back over there. Unfortunately I know that won't happen for at least another two years, but a girl can dream can't she?
There's a lovely blog called The Paris Apartment and its all about French antiques and Parisian style, and I adore it! All the pictures make me squeal with anticipation of my next trip. I need to start watching more French period piece movies. While I'm not a big antique collector, its fun to read her blog about the antiques she gets, because they are so exquisite :)

Okay I'm out, I just had to get out how much I miss France tonight!

Currently Loving: Katy Perry's cd, especially "Last Friday Night"

Blazers, Boots, and Scarves...Oh My!

I just want to wear scarves, tights, jackets, and boots. That's my rant for this evening. I want them and I want them now...all of them. :)

I die....I need this jacket!!


(Anthropologie)

Wow I think im drooling, I love these boots

I also enjoy the simplicity of these flats. They're classic, but still so chic :)

Yes I'm very aware of my unhealthy obsession with Anthropologie...

Vacations, Life Crises, and Good Books

So last time I posted, it was right before I went on vacay (which was uhh mazing, in case you lovely bloggers were wondering!), and then when I got back, things got ridic crazy...anyways I need to start posting more often. I made a commitment to to try to blog more, and I'm going to do my best to stick to it!

Speaking of my vacation: I got to see some friends from high school! We went out one night when I was in town. We had a lovely dinner together at Selena's, an authentic Mexican restaurant, well as authentic as upstate new york can get! Then we went downtown to get a few drinks, and ran into a drag show, which you will soon find out, we love to go to. I'm not sure why the four of us like to do that, but they are always so much fun :)
Then I got to see Tom Petty again with my family, which was an experience I have to tell you, but as always, was a great time!

Update on my life: I'm kinda going through a life crisis. I'm in serious need of some change, and I'm starting to really try to make that happen. I need to start doing the things that make me happy. When I get more of my life crisis figured out, I'll update you, but unfortunately for now, I need to keep them to myself.

I've been reading a few good books lately, how about you? I'm in the process of reading, "In Defense of Food" by Micheal Pollan. I'm almost a year old vegetarian :) and I really am happy with that life decision. I watched "Food Inc" about six months ago and it changed my life. I am told this book is the same way...I'll let you know when I finish! :)


Anyways, its getting late on a Sunday night lovelies, so I'm off.

Currently in need of: a good date! ;)

Its been a while...

Wow its been way too long since I last posted and updated. Work got crazy and I just got really busy!! Taylor Swift's new single "Mine" is out and I'm loving it! I can't stop listening to it, which I'm sure is no shock ;) check it out on itunes!

I'm so excited I am going back home (upstate new york) on Saturday for a whole week to be with my family!! I love vacations at home! One of my oldest friends just got engaged (so jealous!) and her engagement party is Saturday-perfect timing right?! Then putzing around seeing some old friends and eventually going to a Tom Petty concert :)

Alright I'm READY FOR FALL. I love, love, love fall-it's my favorite time of year...i love boots, jeans, sweaters, cardigans, tights and cozy dresses! Now I need to find some...
So Rachy and I went to NY & Co today and we found some CUTE stuff. I'll upload some pics once I've bought a few things. But until then, I'm going to be on the hunt for some great new pieces to add to my wardrobe because I am beyond bored with mine. You know when you just feel like everything you own has been worn a million times? That's what my whole closet feels like...so I'd like to change that. asap.


Okay Rae and her bffers are at a John Mayer concert tonight, so I'm going to snuggle up with 500 Days of Summer for the evening.

Oh and my horoscope for this week from thefrisky.com?

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

"You’ll be at your luckiest if you let your past be your guide to your future, which means don’t try to give anyone or any situation the benefit of the doubt now. You’ve learned your lessons and it’s time to put that knowledge into play. As it goes, burn you once, shame on them; burn you twice, shame on you."

I've had a rather interesting and extremely difficult week at work, and this horoscope prediction is perfect. :)

OMG, omg, omg!

I just found out that Taylor Swift (Princess Tay Tay) has a new album coming out! Here's the deets:

Release Date:October 25, 2010
Title:"Speak Now"
14 new songs, none of which are co-written

First single: "Mine"
Release Date: August 16, 2010

"Sparks Fly" WILL be on it!!!!
YAY :)

I CAN'T WAIT!

Currently Listening To: "Where I Stood" by Missy Higgins

Lookbook: Blazer

So I haven't been sleeping well this week (its Rae, she's away on vaca and I miss her-haha just kidding. I mean I do miss her, but I just haven't been sleeping well for some reason.)

Anywaysss!! Anyone watch the Hills finale?! Genius!! Just leaves you wondering what was real and what wasn't.



Blazer: NY & Co, Top: Old Navy, Skirt: Gap
I have had this blazer in my closet for close to a year now, wanting to wear it, but not really knowing how to wear it. Then I woke up and said hell with it, I'm trying the blazer for the day. I'm not loving this outfit for two main reasons. 1. I wish I would have been wearing as shorter skirt...I think that would have helped the look a lot, because the blazer and the skirt are both long, and it makes the outfit look out of balance. Unfortunately I'm not comfortable wearing a short skirt to work....2. I'm not loving the fact that I'm not wearing cute heels. Unfortunately being 5'8" means that wearing heels to work with a skirt (event a long one) makes you kinda look like a hooker...

Since I don't have a great camera, my pics aren't the best...bear with me! (I have a Sony Cyber-Shot) It's good for parties and silly pics with friends, but not great for anything else.

I finally caved and went to Verizon today and got an upgrade on my phone! yay! Unfortunately they were out of stock of the Droid X, and I really want that phone, soooo they're mailing it to me-YAY :)

Alright I'm snuggling in to watching P.S. I Love You with a glass of wine!
Hopefully soon I'll have pictures of my redecorated room. I'll keep ya updated!
