I have not been able to spend as much time as I'd like on Love at First Shop in the past year or so, and I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who stuck around through my sporadic posting. I really appreciate the great feedback & insights that I got from all of my readers and the lovely blogging community.

I had never been to Cincinnati (or Ohio for that matter), but I ventured over there for the long holiday weekend. It was so cold out, so in a nutshell, all we pretty much did was eat & drink (the evidence is above). It was a fun weekend, but I think if I were to try Cincinnati again, I think it would be a lot better in the spring or summer.</div>

I have a confession to make- I freaking LOVE Valentine's Day! It's my favorite cheesy holiday, what's not to love? <span style="text-align: justify;">It is in my nature to love things that are sweet, romantic, and full of pink and hearts, candy and chocolate. </span>It's everything I enjoy rolled into one gloriously commercialized holiday.<br />

I have to admit that I love a good Target designer collaboration. I try not to get too affected by all the hype and end up with a load of things that I really don't need. (But let's be real, do I really <i>need </i>anything? We all know the answer to that is a solid <i>no</i>.) </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
But when I was hanging out with my family this past weekend, my sister reminded me about the collection launching this weekend, so I finally succumbed to checking out the Prabal Gurung for Target lookbook online. With its bright colors and fun floral prints, I knew I had to at least check it out. I didn't wake up at the crack of dawn or anything, but I ended up picking up a few items that I'm super excited about. Like the printed pumps above (I think they will be perfect with my brightly colored dresses this summer) and the printed tee below (great layering piece). Did anyone else check out this new collection?</div>

Why hello there, blog! Haven't seen you in quite a while now. Even though I haven't had a chance in a very long time to take good pictures of my outfit of the days, I've still been taking quick snaps whenever I like what I'm wearing - so now they've become my #ootds on <a href="http://instagram.com/rosaan" target="_blank">instagram</a>. And yes, I do realize that I have pretty much the same pose in every photo.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I've always been drawn to quirky animal prints and patterns. When I first saw this crab sweater at f21, I knew I had to have it. Who needs a sweater with crabs printed all over it?? Apparently me. I really had no idea how I would wear it, but in a quick last minute decision, I paired it with my pink gingham shirt, which worked out surprisingly well.<br />
<br />
I've been MIA for a few months (it was still 2012 when I last posted!) but the following is my attempt to play catch up.<br />
<br />

<b>Dress Obsession: </b>I'm always extolling the virtues of the most basic of female clothing items, the dress. It's a way to feel instantly put together with minimal effort and coordination (which is good when one is lingering in bed on a cold winter morning instead of putting the time in to put together an outfit). They're just so easy! Throw on a statement necklace, a pair of tights if necessary, any type of shoe, and you're good to go. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Layers: </b>I feel like I always have go to combinations when it comes to layering. I get stuck in a rut of wearing a button down under a sweater, or a cardigan layered over a sleeveless dress. But unexpected pairings and bright colors always make it better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I feel like I've done enough photo collage spamming for one day... things that I am planning on working on very soon: finish updating blog layout, post photos from the Christmas holiday (spent it in Korea), share some easy DIYs I've done recently, and of course my favorite... post some recent handmade valentines that I've made. If anyone's out there reading this, I'm going to try a lot harder than I have the last few months to get this blog up and running as a creative outlet for me.</div>

Looking over some of my older outfits, some variation of this look (gingham shirt layered over sweater, skinny jeans + ankle boots) is probably my cold weather uniform. It's pretty easy to put together when you're like me and have far too many colorways of gingham button downs and skinny pants. Feeling very preppy today, even more than usual, I think it's the combination of navy & red along with the bow. But that's not a bad thing (in my opinion).</div>

I can't believe it's been almost 2 months since my last post on this blog. I haven't abandoned it completely, but I haven't had the time lately to take good quality photos and post them. I've been doing things the easy way, snapping some quick outfit photos with my phone and instagraming them. A lot has happened since then, I feel like it was still semi-warm out the last time I posted (I have bare legs!) and now it feels like we're right smack dab in the middle of winter. In the past couple of months, I've run a half marathon, developed quite the heavy craft addiction, and have really been putting a lot of heart and soul into my etsy store, <a href="http://adoreprep.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Adore Prep</a>. More photos on what I've been up to after the jump!</div>

It really feels like fall is here and I can't be more excited! Fall is probably my favorite time of year in NYC, and I just love being able to wear layers and jackets and boots and all that other fun stuff. This peplum top I wore yesterday is something I bought a couple of weeks ago, but I felt like I should save it for cooler weather. I love the teal color, and the texture of the top.</div>

Wearing teal today as well, but a comfortable drapey dress from Joe Fresh, which had a lot of great fall pieces at reasonable prices. I'll be sad when it becomes too cold to go tightsless, but I'll enjoy it for now!</div>

Can't believe that summer is actually over! I love summer, but I'm pretty excited for fall, looking forward to wearing more layers, boots, and not sweating as much. For the day after Labor Day, I decided to embrace Fall by wearing a sweater dress and boots. But the dress is sleeveless, and the boots are ankle boots, so I don't feel like I'm jumping the gun too soon. </div>

I have never tried <a href="http://shmnt.co/NK7YKT" target="_blank">ShoeMint</a> before, but I really loved the way these ankle boots looked, so I pulled the trigger (with a 50% off code). I was pleasantly surprised, they are real leather and look a lot nicer than expected. I'm planning on checking back to see if there are any other styles I like!</div>

This red peplum dress is definitely out of my comfort zone. I don't wear red often, but I felt like this knit dress was much more fun in red than in black. It's made out of knit, so it's a lot more casual than the peplum shape normally implies. </div>

tibi dress, target belt, zara jacket, matt bernson sandals</div>
<br />
I've been obsessed with my Zara denim jacket lately. I never thought I'd wear one, but after seeing my sisters and my co-worker rock them, I decided I wanted one for myself. It's a great layering piece for fall, and I've worn it a bazillion times already, especially in my office which is still freezing.<br />
<br />
So there you have it, a few quick snaps. I'm really excited about wearing fall clothes, so hopefully will have some better photos soon!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05826460611885208779noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-130958210465676160.post-70278755817334636462012-08-15T15:21:00.002-04:002012-08-15T15:21:22.100-04:00Quick Snap: Leopard & Fringe<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sorry, I wear this skirt all the time. It's easy to pair with anything, but the fringe still makes it fun. I keep meaning to take more photos outside instead of these poorly lit excuses of photos, but just like going to the gym and making homemade meals, I've been incredibly lazy. And I'd much rather do some crafts.<br />

Back to work on a Monday after a wonderful weekend spent with some of my favorite people in the entire world. Even though all of us live in different cities around the country, I love that we still make an effort to get together once in a while, and it's always as if we just started back up from where we left off, whether we saw each other a week ago or several months ago. I had never been to Denver before (or out west pretty much) and I loved it. Went hiking in Boulder, checked out a brewery, and just had a lot of fun with everyone. And you can't beat the weather!</div>

I feel very "secretary" wearing this blouse & cardigan combination, but I think the asymmetrical hem of my pleated skirt keeps it from being dull. Never thought I'd embrace this type of skirt, but after seeing it on other people, I decided this blush colored version on sale at Zara would be a fun way to try it.<br />

This shorter do is still taking some getting used to. I've always had the bad habit of playing with the ends of my hair, and I have been catching myself grabbing at empty air. I think I like it though, which is good because it's not like I can do anything about it at this point.<br />
<br />
I'm not used to wearing skirts this length, I know it's not the most flattering, but I think this olive knee length skirt will be a great transition piece for fall. Ugh, can't believe I'm thinking about fall already. The summer has been flying by.<br />
<br />
But I do have some exciting news! I've been thinking about this for a while now, but I finally took the plunge and listed some items on Etsy (<a href="http://etsy.com/shop/AdorePrep">etsy.com/shop/AdorePrep</a>). Currently it's made up of hair elastics and personalized notepads. Feel free to check it out! I won't be quitting my day job anytime soon, but I really enjoy making these crafts.<br />

It was my sister's wedding weekend, and everything turned out to be amazing. So great to see family and friends we haven't seen in ages, and even though as maid of honor I was running around most of the time like a chicken with its head cut off, I still had a great time. But now I'm back to work... and this week just seems so ordinary compared to the weekend!<br />

Now that the wedding (and the updo I wanted) is over, I chopped a ton of hair off! I love long hair, but my ends were getting to be pretty bad, so I just took the plunge. Feels great though! Let's just hope I can keep it looking more like Alexa Chung, not Connie Chung.</div>

My sister Sophia's wedding is this Saturday (oh man, only 2 more days left!) but these photos are from her bridal shower earlier this month! My youngest sister came into town for the shower as well, so it was great to have everyone together! I'm wearing a Zara dress from last year, an anthro necklace, and my trusty Aerosoles.</div>

So I really wanted one of those <a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=236715673&pid=uid761-1227931-31&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=Product+Widget">fancy schmancy elastic hair ties</a>, but really didn't want to shell out a lot of money for it. Then I turned to etsy, and the prices there were better but I wasn't satisfied. I actually ended up buying some elastic myself, and making these in the exact colors that I wanted! They are really comfortable to wear, and I love all the different possible color combinations (my favorites are the neons and the minty color). </div>

I must be in a crafty, DIY phase right now, because the same thing happened with customized name/monogram note pads. I have a slight obsession with stationary and fonts, so I knew I had to figure out how to make them myself! So after doing some research and investing in a few little things, I made my own tear off notepads! As someone who loves to make lists and take notes, these are perfect. I can list-make to my heart's content. I'm also a sucker for a good monogram.</div>

I was lucky enough to spend a part of last weekend out in CT to celebrate a friend's birthday! Not only was there creek floating in the rain, but we got to go out on a boat as well. It was so nice to be out of the city and get some face time with the water. </div>

Want to know what's absolutely glorious? Knowing that you have the 4th of July off from work, as well as the 5th, and then getting the 6th off as well as a nice surprise. I was already planning on heading home for a long weekend, but now I get to save a much treasured vacation day. Had a lovely weekend in Atlanta, but now it's back to work. I feel like I've been gone for ages, I can barely remember what I was doing last Tuesday!</div>

As you can tell from the layout of this blog, I have an anchor obsession. Multiple people had sent me links to this j.crew anchor dress when it first came out, saying that I probably own it already! I held out for a while, because I need another striped dress like I need a hole in the head, but when I saw it on major sale this past weekend, I snapped it up. I do feel uber nautical pairing it with my neon pink boat shoes, but I still love it. The bright pink definitely brightens up any day!</div>

Another post of work outfits... the weather has been wonky lately here in NYC and I've been dressing in a lot of knits to stay comfortable. It also doesn't help that my office is absolutely freezing, so I also have to take that into consideration. I do keep a cozy cardigan at my desk that I pretty much cover up whatever I'm wearing anyway. At least today is Friday. Happy Friday!!</div>

Can you tell that I'm obsessed with monograms? I'm not really sure why I love them so much, but it may have something to do with the fact that when I was little, it was really hard to find mugs or keychains with the name "Rosa" on them. And then I discovered etsy and it's inexpensive personalized items. It's a sickness.</div>

Noticing a pattern? I've been wearing these amazingly comfortable (yet cute enough) aerosoles sandals because my ankle with the healing stress fracture has been bothering me, and normal flats don't have enough support. And I just can't bring myself to wear sneakers to work. Not sure why, it wouldn't be against the dress code, but I just can't. I've been itching to run and it's killing me. Especially when I walk through Central Park and see all the healthy runners. Well, I am still grateful that I can still walk, and have only a minor injury.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05826460611885208779noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-130958210465676160.post-36349313215927320502012-06-26T17:40:00.002-04:002012-06-26T17:40:47.030-04:00Bunny Re-Mix<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This dress is yet another one of those items that have been languishing in my closet. The bunny print is whimsical and fun, but I feel like I've been reaching for simpler looks lately. I'm currently trying to make the storage situation in my teenie tiny studio more efficient, and part of that is taking a long hard look at the many, many clothing/accessory items that I've accumulated over the years and figuring out what to keep and what to sell/donate. I do like this dress, but it may be on the chopping block!</div>

These photos are from last week but I have been terrible about posting. I think I've just been feeling uninspired, and not wanting to take the time to blog. Hopefully I'll be back to posting, since I still love clothes and blogging here on Love at First Shop. As you can see from my accessories in this post that I have been thoroughly enjoying the neon trend. I also can't resist anything in this fun minty color, so this knit dress had to come home with me. I need another knit dress like I need a hole in the head. Oops.<br />

I’ve been MIA for a few weeks now, but I’m back! Hopefully
back to regular posting from here on out. I love that neon is everywhere right
now, it’s super trendy but that means that there is more fun neon for me to
lust after! Picked up this skinny patent belt back in GA a few weeks ago at
Target, I’d been eyeing one from J.Crew for a while but the Target one is a
less costly alternative. The dress is my sister’s that I borrowed ages ago and
never bothered giving back (oops), figured I’d get a few more wears out of it
before the weather gets too hot for sleeves. It was so warm out this weekend, I
loved it. Spent some quality time in Central Park and on my roof (yes, the very
same roof where I take these photos) and think I got some color back into my
winter pale-ness. Can’t wait for full on summer, although I’ll probably be
singing a different tune once I start sweating the minute I step outside. <o:p></o:p></div>

Lately I've been feeling very uninspired and lazy. I either hate what I'm wearing because all I want to do is be comfortable, or even if I like it, I don't have that motivation to get up a few minutes earlier and snap some real photos. To be honest, I haven't had a chance to take a vacation or personal day since Christmas, or see my family, and I've been feeling very burnt out. As much as I enjoy living in Manhattan, sometimes it's nice to get out of the city. So I finally headed down south for some much needed me time. This past weekend I ran the St Jude Country Music Half Marathon in Nashville, and now I'm spending a few days in sunny Georgia before heading back up north.<br />
<br />
It's been very warm in both Nashville and Atlanta since I've been down here, and I'm loving it. After a long winter of pastiness, I'm excited to get some color. Definitely got some sun during the half marathon, and I've been trying to find excuses to lounge around outside. And also dress like a Florida retiree.<br />
<br />
This summer will be the summer I truly embrace maxi dresses and skirts. I never realized how cool and comfortable they are! I picked up this floral number from Old Navy (while it was still freezing outside) for a mere $15, and dreamt about the day that it would finally be warm enough to wear. Well that day has come. Even though this dress hides any suggestion of what my shape is below, and I know that floor length is not the most flattering length for shorties like me, I absolutely love this dress! I think it's so fun, and the fact that it was on clearance in the dead of winter and brought me hope for warmer weather doesn't hurt.<br />

<span style="color: #1f497d;">Was running late this morning so I didn’t have a chance to take a photo of my outfit! Luckily, I was able to eat lunch outside today (was able to take more than 5 minutes for the first time in AGES) and I had my co-worker snap these pics before we headed back inside. I bought this skirt after seeing my 17 year old sister wear it in a different color in one of her photos. Yes, I was inspired by my high school age baby sister. I’ve been loving maxis lately (wore one on Monday too even though I didn’t blog about it) because they are so comfortable. This one is light and airy (or should I say aerie) and I can see myself pairing it with tanks this summer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

It is absolutely gorgeous out today! What a delightful way
to kick off the weekend. I knew I wanted to wear something comfortable, but
instead of reaching for my leggings, I deemed it warm enough to break out this
maxi skirt I got on clearance a while ago. I never gravitate towards longer
hemlines, but I loved this print and it was a bargain to boot. The maxi skirt
is surprisingly comfortable (and feels a bit freeing too). I will definitely
reach for this this summer, but paired with colorful tanks and fun sandals. <o:p></o:p></div>

I know I've done the "tie your shirt in the front" thing plenty of times, but I love it for several reasons: 1) I'm terrible at keeping my shirt tucked into whatever skirt or pants I'm wearing and 2) It's great layering for dresses that may be a bit big. #2 is the reason for today's tied up shirt, I love this printed dress from a few years ago but it's currently loose on me (which I won't complain about). Definitely a bit chillier out, so I changed into tights as soon as I got back inside. Can't wait until I can pack away my tights for good!<br />
