TGIF! (and some new purchases...)

Happy Friday! I feel like this week has lasted forever. It was a pretty rough one, and I am looking forward to my day off tomorrow! (I have to work Sunday, but that shouldn't be too bad). Right now I am currently lounging in bed after 7 hours on my feet wearing a cozy sweaterdress and a faux fur vest, but I'll let you see what I wore earlier to work!



What I'm wearing:
Martin + Osa Velvet blazer in Loden Green (all outerwear is 50% off this weekend only!)
Martin + Osa Sheer layered tank in Galvanized Grey (it's not sheer in my opinion, contrary to it's name)
Martin + Osa Ponte Cigarette Pant (comfortable like leggings, only they are real pants!)
Steve Madden Intyce boots in Cognac
American Eagle pearl ribbon necklace

I am totally *not* a blazer person. I always buy them, but I rarely wear them because I always feel too mannish? But I do like them on others. I think this velvet blazer caught my eye because of the gorgeous green color, and I loved the fit of it. And I think I will actually get some wear out of it this winter! Great layering piece. And of course I had to get the tiered ruffle top layered underneath the blazer, I never met a ruffle top I didn't like.

Detail of the necklace, isn't it darling?

Today was a fantastic mail day! I received both the Essie nail polishes I ordered a couple of days ago (wow, super fast shipping) and the Anthropologie Inverness trench that I had on backorder.

First, the trench. I love the plaid, love the fit, love the bows!!!!!!



And the nail polishes.... the one that I really was dying for is Mint Candy Apple.

From left to right: Mint Candy Apple, Chinchilly, Mink Muffs, Midnight Cami. Although I love the Essie Sexy Divide I'm wearing on my nails at the moment, I am tempted to change them up tonight!

And last but not least.... the fuzzy faux fur vest I picked up from American Eagle. I've seen other versions of these in other stores, but I didn't like them very much! I bought and re-turned a vest from H&M because it just looked too icky to me. This faux fur is very soft, not itchy at all, and I like the slightly cropped look. Worn with a Target sweaterdress.


Sorry for the super long, crazy pic heavy post! I hope everyone has a great weekend... I don't have any major plans but am looking forward to relaxing. =)

  1. I've been eyeing those cigarette pants as the J. Crew minnie's didn't work on me (baggy in the crotch). How is the fit? I like the ones with zippers, too, have you tried them?

    That trench is adorable! I got mint candy apple this week too - wearing it today! :)

  5. the trench looks great on you, and you don't look mannish at all in the blazer! i think i know what you mean though--i feel the same way about myself in blazers. the only ones i like on me tend to be less structured (like made of a heavy knit material vs suit material).

    i wanted to try both the chinchilly and mink muffs--i'll wait for your reviews. also, i'm trying to decide what is a better buy for me--the m+o gingko sweater or the golden great escape skirt at anthro (i know, 2 totally different pieces of clothing!). i'm leaning toward the sweater, because it seems more year-round and practical for me.

    wow, sorry for rambling and going off topic.

    cute stuff!

  8. I have been looking for boots that will fit my large calves. These look great on you and I love the color. Can you please let me know if these boots are adjustable to a 16" calf? Thanks!

  9. My favorite is the trench. That bow!

    Do you think the Mint Candy Apple can satisfy my crazy love for Chanel Jade? I want a report :)

  12. Love the color of the boots, totally pop on camera. Remind me of a dark, luscious caramel. And as for the coat, the bow detailing is fab. Little details like that totally make an outfit everytime.
