Too Much of a Good Thing

Turtleneck:  Gap (similar here), Plaid Shirt:  J.Crew ~ almost sold out (similar here), Vest:  Old Navy (great alternative here), Pants:  AG via Anthropologie, Boots:  Miss Sixty (very old, similar here), Bag:  Marc by Marc Jacobs (LOVING this newer version) 

Jacket:  Forever 21 (old, similar here), Pants:  Citizens of Humanity, Bag:  J.Crew (similar here), Nails:  Essie "Hot Coco"

Yes, I've worn the same turtleneck with the same boots twice this past week {to different places, of course}.  And yes, I have been wearing plaid possibly too frequently lately.  I guess it's true ~ you can never have too much of a good thing!

Skating On Thin Ice

Coat:  Tulle (old, cute options here, here), Plaid Shirt:  J.Crew (almost sold out ~ similar here) Chambray:  Old Navy (old, similar here), Jeans:  Forever 21 (similar here), Boots:  Franco Sarto (old, LOVING this pair for just $59.99!!), Belt:  Forever 21, Necklace:  Gorjana, Earrings:  Tory Burch, Sunnies:  Ray-Ban

My husband and I took our nephews skating this past weekend ~ *correction* ~ my husband skated with them while I watched.  He played ice hockey in high school and is extremely graceful and light on his feet.  My nephews who are 3 and 5 years old, take skating lessons and in my opinion are both on their way to the NHL.  I, on the other hand, have a hard enough time walking on solid ground.  And, no, they were not actually "skating on thin ice" as the post title implies, but "skating on a perfectly safe frozen solid pond" did not have the same ring to it.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

Something New

Jacket:  Forever 21 (old, similar here under $50!!), Turtleneck:  Anthropologie (old, similar here), Skirt:  Anthtopologie (also old, similar here), Bag:  Marc by Marc Jacobs (LOVE this newer version), Gloves:  H&M (recent, similar here), Tights:  The Limited (similar here on sale!), Shoes:  Old Navy (old, similar here)

My husband quickly snapped these pics as I was running out the door yesterday ~ so fast in the first pic that he cut off my feet!  

The title of this post is in honor of my first blog post composed on my new MacBook Pro!!  This was my 30th birthday gift from my wonderful parents.  I know it sounds silly but I feel so liberated!  Aside from the computer my parents bought me ten + years ago when I went away to college {it barely survived the four years} this is the first of my adult life that I can call my own!!

Cheers to new beginnings with new technology!

  

Something Borrowed

Jacket:  J.Crew (borrowed from my sister-in-law, similar here), Chambray Shirt:  Old Navy (old, similar here), Jeans:  J Brand, Scarf:  Borrowed from my mother-in-law (similar here), Necklace:  Forever 21, Shoes:  Unknown (also borrowed from the SIL, similar here)

Yes, a lot of what I'm wearing these days is borrowed from my in-laws.  We are still without power so my husband and I grabbed a few things and headed down to their house.  Lucky for me, the ladies in our family have FABULOUS taste!

Finger Lakes Photo Diary: Part III

Top:  Madewell (simlar here under $10!!), Pants:  J.Crew (old, similar here), Shoes:  Old Navy (old, similar here), Belt:  Madewell, Bag:  Rebecca Minkoff

A few final photographs from our weekend away.  The picture above is of the beautiful victorian style B&B we stayed at.  Our hosts, Renee and Chris, were the most hospitable people.  The rooms were cozy and private and immaculately clean.  Each morning we were served a three-course gourmet breakfast.  We couldn't have been happier with our choice of accomodations.

As per our usual, my husband and I have no pictures of us together ~ the only downfall of a getaway for two.

Finger Lakes Photo Diary: Part I

Jacket:  Forever 21 (old, similar here under $100!!), Sweater:  J.Crew, Chambray Shirt:  Old Navy (Similar here), Pants:  AG Jeans, Boots:  Franco Sarto (old, similar here, here, dream pair here), Bag:  J.Crew (old, similar here only $35!!!)

My husband and I took a mini-vacay this past weekend to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary in the Finger Lakes, upstate NY.  We stayed at a B&B for the first time and it exceeded our expectations.

We have so many beautiful pictures that I decided to split them into three posts. 

The pictures in this post are from the day of our wine tour.  We were able to visit 12 different wineries & breweries thanks to our wonderful tour guide, Sam.  He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and helped to steer us in the right direction.
