365 Challenge 17.0

Can you believe that it is almost May. I cannot. Where has this year gone. I am officially now starting to get excited though. The weather has finally started to warm up which means there are lots of great things to look forward. I am counting down the days until I am at the beach. 
Picture
Day 112:  Not sure what he was doing? Most people think he was trying to hang himself. I'm not that bad am I? 

Picture
Day 114: Remember those photo booths that were in almost every arcade and movie theatre. Do they still exist?
 
Picture
Day 116: The nachos at Yankee stadium are amazing. They are fully loaded with a lot of unhealthy stuff which makes them even better. Couldn't resist. 
Picture
Day 118: After a busy week of baseball games and shows it was great to spend my Sunday relaxing a bit. We took a nice ride around the neighborhood and then settled in with a book. Not a bad way to end my week. 
Picture
Day 113: I was back at the gym in full force this week. Have I mentioned how amazing Pound workout is. If there is a crunch gym near you give it a try. It is the best. 
Picture
Day 115: The highlight of my week was the fact that I got to go to the yankee game two nights in a row. I loooveee baseball so was very excited about. 
Picture
Day 117:  On Saturday we went to see Totem at Citi Field. It was sooo much fun. I definitely would recommend it.

Silver Lace and Lucite

Initially I was not fond of the lucite trend. Every time I see clear shoes I think of a stripper and it is not exactly the look I am going for. I fell in love with the Lanvin heels when I saw them though. Although the heel it lucite it is smoky so to me they don't scream stripper. Well at least I hope they don't. As for the dress it was another great find. I found it at the clearance rack at Necessary Clothing down in the village. Set me back a whole $10. I can live with that. How do you feel about the lucite trend?

Ask Taima: Black Crossbody Bags

4/24/2013

One of the items that I am adding to my wish list is a black cross body bag. Believe it or not I have yet to add one to my closet that I absolutely love. I really would like a Chanel one but don't have Chanel money. I did manage to find some options that all come under $100.  Which one would you get?

The Maxi Skirt

If I wasn't currently on a shopping diet I would go out and buy maxi skirts in every color I could find them.  They are my new found obsession. I got this one for 6 bucks at NY & Co a few weeks back and I absolutely love it. I absolutely love the colors and print and am just dying to mix it up with a few other pieces in my closet. (Look out for a remix post). What trend are you obsessing over this spring?

I cannot even talk about what happened this week. It is almost a blur. I feel like so much happen that it was really hard to keep up. Here are a few snapshots from my week. 
Picture
Day 105:  I started out this week with a bit of print mixing. I decided to go on a shopping diet which means I have been shopping my closet. Both these pieces have been in my closet for some time but this is the first time I wear them together. I kinda like it. 
Picture
Day 107: I absolutely loveee baseball. It is my favorite part of the spring and fall. (I rarely go in the summer because it is way tooo hot). Nothing makes me happier than some baseball and hot dogs of course.

Picture
Day 109: Doesn't Rubi just look evil. He looks like he is going to beat someone's ass. 
Picture
Day 111: Even though it was a bit cold out it was amazing clear and gorgeous on Sunday. I spent the morning in lower manhattan and couldn't help but stop to take this picture. I love living in NYC. 
Picture
Day 106: The Boston Marathon bombings impacted everyone. Despite the tragedy it is amazing how everyone came together (despite rivalries) to support Boston. I am sooo looking forward to going to Fenway this summer. 

Picture
Day 108: Have you heard of this game called Candy Crush Saga. Let's just say I am addicted. Not only am I addicted but so is my husband, my mom and most of my friends. Soooo bad but at least it is keeping me distracted from shopping. 
Picture
Day 110: Saturday night was date night. We checked out this new spot in White Plains that was not soo bad. DH looks soo happy about me taking his picture. Can you tell he is annoyed.

Getting dressed has been such a challenge lately. We are hovering between 40-60 which means most days it is too cool to really bring out the spring and summer pieces. I'm looking forward to when I can throw on a dress, a pair of heels and keep it moving. Until then I will be shopping my closet for bright pieces that will keep my spirits up.  At least it is not snowing. I am thankful for that. I've had my fill for the year.

Banana Republic at POPSUGAR Shopping
I am trying to get better at the impulse purchases. I just need to get better at my purchases in general.  I have decided to go on a shopping diet which means that I am going to really have to shop my closet. I recently purchased a pair of gingham print pants and I have to say there are not the easiest to style. When I was trying them on I had a million ideas of how to style them and pooof all those ideas are gone. Here are some ideas that I have managed to come up with. How would you style a pair of gingham print pants?

Golden Globe Style

When I first saw Amanda Seyfried in a lace Givenchy Gown at the Golden Globes I fell in love. I mean the dress is amazing. I love everything about it. I was on a quest to find a copy cat and was lucky enough to find one from Asos  and on sale no less.  Now I know I am a bit late in posting about this dress but honestly  I was waiting patiently for a reason to wear it. I cannot wait to wear it again. I got a similar one in pink as well and will definitely be wearing it this spring/summer.

I cannot believe that weather has finally decided to cooperate. It is actually feeling like Spring. There were days this week that actually felt like summer. I am soo over the winter so I will take anything right now. Here is to another great week. 
Picture
Day 98: Hello Summer. Temps reached the 80s this week and Mister Softee made an appearance. Even though I am not a big fan it was nice to see an ice cream truck. 

Picture
Day 100: Greek Chicken Pasta. This is my new favorite dish. I can eat this everyday and be ok with it. I think this will be my go to summer dish. So quick to make and yummy too. 


Picture
Day 102: In anticipation of a busy weekend we decided to wine and movie for date night. Sometimes it is amazing to stay in on a Friday night. 
Picture
Day 104: We were on the road at 6am on Sunday on our way to Rhode Island. It was amazing to see the sun rise. It won't be happening again anytime soon though because I really like to sleep. 
Picture
Day 99: Look ma. No stockings. Haha . It was soo nice to throw on a skirt with my ballet flats and keep it moving. I don't mind the cold most of the time but I do hate having to pile on layers upon layers of clothes just to stay warm. 
Picture
Day 101: Thursday night was book club featuring The Devil in the White City. I really want to like this book but we are currently in a love hate relationship.  Let's just say there was a lot more wine drinking and book discussing this go around. I am still determined to finish the book btw. 
Picture
Day 103: Took a ride to Queens with DH for his foosball game. I always appreciate Manhattan that much more when I am looking at it from across the river.

Dorothy Perkins at POPSUGAR Shopping
A few weeks ago I bought a pair of Floral Pants from H & M similar to ones above and almost returned them. I had a moment where I just stared at them and wondered what I was thinking and how I would even be able to pull them off. Even though I have since worn them twice I am still bouncing around ideas. Here are my thoughts on how I would style them.  How would you style Floral Pants?
