What I Want This Wednesday

I have to admit, I never was a big "reader." I would read magazines and little articles in the newspaper, but I was not the girl to read novel after novel...As an English major I was forced to read a lot of books over the year, but none for pure enjoyment...However, after finding the NOOK Color, (and seeing my sister's recently purchased NOOK) I seem to have found a passion for reading! The NOOK does soooo many cool things!! (Books, magazines, checking e-mails, going online, listening to music, and much much more) I love technology so this new NOOK is making me almost NEED to read!!

New NOOK Color- Barnes and Noble

I may go later and buy it! I am such a compulsive shopper but I seriously can NOT stop thinking about holding this amazing book NOOK in my hands!

How To Style

Remember a couple of weeks ago I went to visit my camp friend?? Well remember how we went shopping at a really really really cool store in a town in Jersey? Well this scarf was purchased there! I forgot the name of the little cute boutique but I will find out since I am dying to see if they have an online website! I knew I loved this scarf when I first saw it but I love it even more on!

I decided as much as I love clothes, I may love accessories even more..I just love how something as simple as a T and jeans can be spiced up but something such as a fun necklace or a scarf such as this one

Cuff Jeans from Urban Outfitters 

Does anyone else like accessories to style an outfit or rather go for a stand out outfit? 

Exhausted!!

Worked all day..Can't feel my legs!!! Ahh! can't wait to get a pedicure tomorrow!!

Sale Sale Sale

You know how I posted yesterday about finally being able to buy the perfect jeans? Well here is a pair I bought at Urban Outfitters on sale for $20...I guess people are already going into Fall mode and don't need to buy cutoffs anymore? Whatever, I am not complaining!!

I also ran into Gap today with my sister because there has been a  huge, obnoxious sign on display of the store saying SUMMER SALE!! When I see a sign that big with the word "sale" on it you can bet I will be there eventually...So today was that day...I wound up finding another pair of light wash skinny jeans on sale for only $18 (originally $60)...I always feel so great after getting a great price on an item

I look mad and like I am about to do a dance
....trust me...I am NOT mad and certainly NOT going to be doing a dance!!

Does anyone else fall for sales even if you don't exactly "need" anything?!? Please tell me I am not the only crazy shopper out here!

Things Do Change

After experiencing a first year at college, I am finally able to see that things do change and life does go on...Let me explain...So for most of my life I had a group of best friends...4 of us altogether..We would do everything together from shopping, going for dinner, doing our homework together, and even sitting in silence watching our favorite episodes of television shows. However, things really changed once we all left for different schools...It's not that they aren't great people individually, but as a group I just feel like things are awkward and completely different than how they used to be..I almost feel like the 3 of them stayed close for the most part yet I am definitely not "there." After spending the day with them at the mall, I realized that it's okay to not be as close as we once were...I did change a lot and grew up at college...It was almost like this group I created kept me so isolated from everyone else making me a little hesitant to meet new people and grow into the person I want to be..I decided that I am not going to let this get to me..Instead I am going to stay confident, happy, and just accept me for me...If i can achieve this, nothing will be able to bring me down!!

Anyway, I went to the mall with them and went to my favorite store Urban Outfitters..I went to the mall solely to find some new jeans since I am finally at the size I am comfortable with..I ended up finding a light wash pair of cutoffs on sale for $20 and a pair of dark wash jeans for $54...It was pretty expensive for jeans but there's nothing better than a great pair of pants to make you feel super confident!!

Sorry for the wordy post...Hope you read this post as something positive..A good change that is just part of life...Does anyone else feel this way with long friendships? 

I Survived The Storm

Today I went for a walk with my mom...One problem..It DOWN POURED!

We made it to the final stretch and then we heard thunder along with insane rain 

Well, clearly we made it back alive!! Thank Goodnesss

Today I got off from work after an hour...It's amazing how empty a country club is when the weather is bad...It felt great to leave work so early because I had the rest of the day to relax and catch up on some magazines that I have been dying to read...InStyle anyone!?

Should I Start Getting Dressed?

Do you ever feel like dressing up for ABSOLUTELY no reason at all!? Well today was that kind of day...I woke up exhausted (even though I slept about 11 hours) and had no plans for the day...It was my first official day off in a while so I figured I would actually take the pj's off and start driving somewhere...I decided to throw together an outfit with my new dress since I need to start actually wearing the new purchases!!

This dress is about a week old that I got at Forever 21...Since I could not find a bra that wouldn't show through the dress, I opted for a black Forever 21 tank to wear underneath...I paired this dress with my black Kensie boots (my new obsession clearly) and my gold earrings from previous posts....

My sister told me it was a very "Whitney Port"kind of outfit...Since Whitney is one of my style icons I was extremely happy to hear I nailed her look (kind of)

When you have no plans for the day would you rather throw on the old sweats and white T-shirt or rather dress it up in hopes of a great day!?
