Week in Pictures

I see this type of post on several of my favorite blogs, so I decided to try it for myself. I chronicled last week by taking one or two photos every day.

Monday:

I wore a nude lace cardigan from F21, accompanied by a rose gold and marcasite bracelet from TJ-Maxx. I love the way the bracelet layered over the sleeve of my cardigan.

Tuesday:

Winter mani - Essie's marshmellow with a glittery polish by Revlon called Stunning on one nail

Wednesday:

While putting my makeup on for the day, I stopped and smiled at this picture frame that sits on my vanity. My best friend is getting married too, and I'm her maid of honor :)

Thursday:

I picked up three eyeshadows from M.A.C to put into my palette - Jest, Grain, and Phloof. Shimmery and eye brightening. Perfect anytime.

Friday:

My fiance bought me this rolling clothes rack when I moved in. I've always wanted one. These are the outfits that are patiently waiting to be worn.

Saturday:

We went to Supercross in San Diego and the races were amazing! It was cold and rainy but my adrenaline kept my mind off it.


Sunday:

The Nixon watch I bought my fiance for his 30th birthday. He's never worn a watch before, but he loves this and it looks great on him!


Pretty exciting week, huh? ;)

Love, Actually

Skirt - Old Navy, Leopard blouse - F21, Black cardi - Nordstrom, Pumps - Nine West, Bag - Chanel, Earrings - Juicy Couture, Bracelet - J. Crew

We celebrated Valentine's day last night due to work schedules. We went out to dinner at our favorite pizzeria.

 The V-Day outfit was as festive as I've ever been. This bright pink pleated skirt was on sale at Old Navy for $10 dollars and I couldn't pass it up. It was the very last one, and (nearly) in my size. I should take it in a tad to make it perfect, but it works for now. It certainly is a colorful gem in my sea of black and grey skirts. Although the color is a little outside of my comfort zone, I'm a sucker for pleats and the A-line shape, as it helps conceal a little extra junk in the trunk! This time of year is really special to my fiance and I because it's our anniversary. I can't wait to continue the celebration this weekend. I swear we treat our anniversary like a birthday :)

I wish you girls a happy V Day! Thank you so much for reading!

The Plaid Coat

Plaid ruffle coat - Nordstrom (old), Infinity scarf - Express, Grey leggings - Hue, Cognac boots - BP Nordstrom, Bag - BCBG (old)

This is the only "major" coat that I own, and those of you living in colder climates are probably laughing right now. I love coats! They are the epitome of polish and sophistication. But when you live in an area that barely sees even a drop of snow, then you don't get the chance to wear one very often. It does get really cold here at night, so a coat like this one is perfect to keep the chills at bay.

Kendra Scott "Tela" Ring

Ever since purchasing the popular "Danielle" earrings last year in bright turquoise, I have been eyeing the "Tela" ring in green. I actually planned on ordering it for my birthday way back in September, but I was waiting for it to go on sale. Well, luckily it did! LINK!

I love stone jewelry because it's an effortless way to incorporate color into my look, particularly on days when I want to stick to neutrals. Emerald green is one of my favorite colors, and the Kendra Scott Tela ring is absolutely stunning in person. It's a large statement piece set against gold. For reference, I ordered a size 6 and it fits well on my middle and pointer fingers.

It's big, readers! Well at least on my small hands. I was at first taken aback by it's enormity, especially when my fiance laughed and replied, "Oh My God!" when he saw it. But I love it! The color is beautiful and it is well made. Hey, I wanted a statement ring and I got it.  I suspect you'll be seeing this a lot in the future :)

Happy Friday!
