Shop Now Wear Later -LWD

1/23/2014

I know it is freezing cold here in NYC and the northeast however I cannot avoid wanting to look forward to spring and summer. Now with the winter sales in full swing it is a great time to score some goodies that can be worn when the temperatures start to warm up. My biggest summer go to is the little white dress. This year I am actually looking for a white maxi dress  (does that count?). Here are some dresses I found that are on sale now but would be great for the spring/summer. Best thing is they are all under $50.

A lot of people ask me how I manage to have a full time job, go to the gym, cook most of my meals and blog.  All this while making it to bed by 11 every night. Oh yeah and I kinda have a social life too. I am not too sure how to answer that but guess what. Life has finally caught up to me which is why I have been a bad blogger lately.  I think planning for my summer has pretty much pushed me over the edge. As of Memorial Day Weekend I pretty much have plans for every weekend through mid July. I am pretty sure I am going to spend most of August sleeping. Haha. There is lots to look forward to and although there may be days  when I won't be posting I promise I will have lots to share when I get around to it. In the meantime here is how my week went. 
Picture
The reason why I love my gym so much is because they always have a new class for me to try. (And no they are NOT paying me to write this). Last week I tried a class called surfset. I cannot even begin to tell you how much fun this class was. (Look it up on youtube). Can't wait to try again this week. 
Picture
I spent the better part of Saturday doing some spring cleaning. This is the mess that is kinda still taking over my bedroom. Living in NYC closet space is at a premium which means spring cleaning involves putting away the winter clothes in storage and taking out all the summer clothes. I have waaayy too much crap so it is a bit of a task. Might be done by the end of the summer. 
Picture
We decided to do date night on Friday instead of our usual Saturday.  We tried a place called Cellar 58 down in the east village. It was edible. We ended the night with wine and desserts at Sambuca's Cafe. One of my fav places.


Picture
We spent Sunday playing tennis by the beach. Lots of fun. Only problem is that I have been sore for over two days now because the last time I played tennis was over 5 years ago. I suppose I will survive.

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.

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?

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.

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.

How to Style Floral Pants

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?

I ended the week with a long weekend in Atlantic City with the fam. It was a mostly relaxing weekend. Lots of wine, naps and food. My idea of a perfect weekend. Even though I had a great weekend I am even more excited about the weather that is headed our way. We are looking at 70s and even 80s this week. Cannot wait to bring out my peep toes. 
Picture
Day 91. One reason why I love my gym. "Cycle Karaoke". Great way to start my week. 

Picture
Day 93: Another favorite class at my gym is called "Pound". It is sooo much fun but beware you will be sore for days afterward. Another great workout. 


Picture
Day 95: Another ootd pic. I will be posting about the outfit later this week. Stay tuned. 
Picture
Day 97: One of my guilty pleasures. I eat this stuff about once or twice a year and I just had to have it. Just because I am skinny does not mean I do not eat. I can throw down like none other. 
Picture
Day 92: I cheated on Tuesday with my photo a day. The day just flew by so I decided to capture my post for the day. 
Picture
Day 94: I waited until the last minute to pack (as always) and ended up packing 5 pairs of shoes for one long weekend. Most would think that is excessive but that is quite normal for me. And yes I did wear each and everyone of them.  BTW guess which shoes I only paid $10 for?
Picture
Day 96: I spent most of the day on Saturday laying by the pool and in and out of the hottub. It really doesn't get any better than that.

It's Starting to Feel Like Spring

The temps in NYC came close to 60 degrees this past weekend and even though it was still too chilly for sandals I was inspired to take my white J Brands out for a spin. These are one of my favorite pairs of jeans. Not only do I love the fit but I got these at the Barney's Outlet in Florida for less than $30. Not bad for a pair of jeans that retail for close to $200. Also as a side note DH picked this outfit. I think he did a decent job. What do you think?
