A Beach Day

Hello all! Happy Friday! 

So happy the weekend is here. I actually took off (from my full time job) tomorrow to run some errands as I have a busy weekend before I leave for CT on Sunday for a conference...again for the full time job. I hope to attend a blogger conference in GA in February! 

The beach is one of my fave places. As I've mentioned before I live on the North Fork of Long Island where I am surrounded by beaches. Yes, I am aware that I am a lucky girl for all those beach lovers out there. Ha! I know Summer is almost over and I'm late in the game in posting beach pics but for me Summer isn't over until October! lol So with that said here are my beach pics wearing a very comfy light sweater tee I got from Calypso St. Barth. It is on sale now and comes in two other colors! A white and a light blue. Get it before it's gone! This color I'm wearing is called Crush and it is so pretty. It's like a pinkish coral color and I love wearing it with a dark blue jean. It could go well with white jeans too! It's the perfect sweater to be cozy in on a cool day!

Sparkly

Hello there!

Sorry I have been MIA the last week. My dad came out to visit from NC and I have been hanging out with him and his friends from right after work at 5 until like 11pm every night. I only get to go down south once every October so when he comes up here to visit, I usually spend every night hanging out with him so that is why I haven't been able to post. However, I did lots of photos for different outfits so I've been editing them and just need to get them up here on the blog!

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was very busy but very fun! I finally got to go swimming in a pool for the first time this summer and it's almost over already! Ha! 

I was so excited to find this tank! I love sparkly things so this immediately caught my eye in the store. It was also on sale so I couldn't turn it down. I bought this from Calypso St. Barth, however, and I hate this-it is not on the website. I'm not sure if they compltely sold out or if some stores still have this tank. I got mine from the store located in Greenport, NY. It is definitely gorgeous. I think the photos don't even do it justice on how pretty it is. 

You can totally play this tank up and make it really dressy for a night out or even a holiday...say like Christmas...or New Years! Or tame it down a bit like I did with jeans and a more neutral shoe. I was wearing it during the day so I wanted to tone it down as you can see. I think it would look awesome with a pair of white jeans before the summer is out. Then when winter comes bring out the black jeans and head out on the town!

A Casual Day

Hello Girls!

It is finally May! Hopefully some warm weather will come soon. I have been wanting to wear some new stuff but it has been too cold. I am still wearing winter clothes! Ughh!

Some days I'm able to get away with not wearing a jacket if I layer. It actually ended up getting really warm this day and had to take off the vest and the shirt and just wear the flannel. I love flannels and was glad when they came back from years ago! Too bad I didn't save any of my old ones.

What's your favorite thing that has come back into style?

Jeans ~ Citizens of Humanity ~ Racer-low rise skinny ~ size 27 ~ Bought at Calypso St. Barth

Sneakers ~ Vans ~ size 8 ~ Love these and they come in so many colors!

Vest ~ Hollister ~ size small ~ no longer available ~ similar in a brighter green  

Long-sleeved shirt ~ Banana Republic ~ old~ size xs ~ similar here and here on sale! Under $50

Flannel ~ Bought in the fall ~ cannot remember where for the life of me! It's not even named on the tag!  ~ size small ~ really like this color combo and it's only $20!

Watch ~ DKNY

Ring ~ Bought from Crinoline Fashion Boutique in Greenport, NY ~ I bought this in the store. I checked on the website but don't see it there. I was just in there again a few weeks ago and they still had some left and in other colors too! This ring is absolutely gorgeous and one of my faves!

Thanks for stopping by!

Blush & Grey

Hello Girls! One more day until the weekend! Does anyone have exciting plans? I will be running some errands and catching up on blogging. If anyone notices, I post at night because I work full time during the week. Like I said in an earlier post, I hope to one day be doing this full time instead! Also, if you notice the background is the same in a lot of photos it's because Monday through Friday I am taking these pics on my lunch hour! Sorry! The weekends I have more of a choice on where the pics are taken.


So on to the clothes....blush & grey! So years ago I was not into pink at all but I've come around since then and now love anything in the blush color! I think it's an easy shade to wear and will look good on anyone. Plus the color seems to mix well with others: black, brown, navy, white, and of course grey.

 It has been windy this whole week so please excuse the hair. It was a hot mess!

I have to say I love this coat! It is one of my favorites! When winter approaches again you will see my collection of coats...yes, I have that many! A girl needs choices! So it has still been chilly in the mornings when I go to work but not so much where I need the heavy winter coat. This coat is just the right amount to keep my warm. I first saw this on Pinterest and knew right away that I had to have it and searched for it until I found it. Now, when I found this site, I was a little worried that it might be "cheap" in the sense that it was crappy, but I don't think that at all about this jacket. I haven't ordered anything else from this site so I can't speak for the rest of the clothing, but I was very happy with this so I may take a chance again. While I was just browsing on there I found some other cute blazers/coats that I may have to order!

I have to also talk about these jeans I just bought a few weeks ago. This is a new brand I tried as I am partial to my AGs, but I have to say these are really nice. They are flared which I only have about 2 other flare jeans so I needed another one naturally. They come super long and frayed at the bottom so that the person can get them hemmed to suit their needs. I always end up hemming my non-skinny jeans anyway because they are just too long for me even with heels! I am 5'5 and a 1/2...yes, I need to mention the half. I am the shortest one out of my mom AND dads side. How did this happen??! Anyway, they are a bit pricy but when it comes to jeans, I splurge as I find the quality better to suit my needs.

Jacket - Lookbook Store  Only $42! I am wearing US size 4

Shirt - old-from Gap a few years back -similar options here and here a little more pricey

Jeans - McGuire size 27 - Calypso St. Barth

Bag - old - Michael Kors they have a lot of similar black bags like mine

Shoes - DSW- similar here and here  

Clutch (loving this new find!)- Rebecca Minkoff- Amazon

Ring - Bought at Therapy Clothing in Southampton, NY (no website) similar here

Plain silver bracelet with hook - a gift

Pink and Grey beaded bracelets - bought in store at Molly Malone's in NC - so I tried a search for something similar and could not come up with anything that looked like these-I am definitely disappointed :( but I would have to say any blush or grey bracelet should be fine

Wow it is almost midnight! I will definitely be tired in the am-at least it's Friday!

Goodnight all!
