What I Wore Yesterday...

Havaianas Alpargatas, Skinny Jeans, Wildfox Couture, Fashion Outfit

Havaianas Alpargatas, Wildfox Tee, Bebe Skinny Jeans similar here, Essie red nail polish



Since yesterday was my day off, I dressed in neutral blues and kept things casual in skinny jeans and alpargatas. I ran a few errands and then stopped by my local Borders to check out the sales, unfortunately all the good stuff was already gone. It makes me sad to see Borders go out of business. That was always my favorite bookstore, aside from Waldenbooks.


Neon Nail Polish, The Relic book

The Relic, Butter Neon nail polish



Lately, I've been reading a lot of mysteries and semi-horror books. Just finished The Relic. I had never read it before and thoroughly enjoyed every twist and turn and dark shadow lurking behind every corner. I've also taken to watching Mysteries on TV. See: Monk, X-Files and Alfred Hitchcock.

Why do I Admire Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen?

I have grown up with the Olsen twins, figuratively speaking. Watching them dazzle the live audience on Full House was where it initially began. And then came their Mystery Detective series, I loved those. Their feature length movies, their songs, and matching outfits were just the tip of the iceberg. Do you remember their song Brother for Sale?

To this day, they still inspire me. From their individual style, to their business mindset. Above all, however, the true reason I admire them so? Is how close they are with each other. No matter the fame or fortune, they are there for one another and the rest of their family. This is what sets them apart from the rest of the Hollywood crowd. Their elegance and poise.

Right now, I'm craving a few pieces from their Elizabeth & James line. My Current picks: Round Sunglasses in Black, White Button Up Blouse, and Olive Suede Wedges

Happy Friday xo!

Most of you probably don't know that I wear contacts. And that before bed, I hang around the house in glasses. This a debut of sorts.



Lately, I've been in love with Netflix. Randomly finding great TV. Now, I'm really getting into Mad Men. Just started watching it this week after tweeting about feeling like the only person on Earth not tuning in.. Don Draper.. sigh. I love the sixties clothing and how adorable the men all look in slick hair and skinny ties. And of course, how the series is mainly set in Manhattan, New York. My favorite city at the moment.


What are you watching? What do you recommend for me to watch? :)



P.S. Do you like my BONLOOK glasses?
