happy birthday jen

{Blazer: White House Black Market, Tank: Express, Jeans: Express (thrifted), Shoes: Kenneth Cole}

I guess I am trying something new with my hair... I call this the "is it long enough to cut" look... J likes it as is, I want it more angled/choppy looking (oh yea, and blonder)... either way I need to trim off the scraggly ends.

Saturday was my friend Jen's birthday, she turned the big 2-6. The sweetie pie and I met up with her after dinner celebration at a local watering hole to catch up and play a little pool. The above photo is what I wore. It was a long overdue meet up and hopefully there are more frequent meet ups in the future.

Something that I really want to work on this year as part of my New Year's resolutions is being a better friend to others and making more of an effort to get out and do things with the people I care about.  Jen's birthday was a great start... by the end of the night there were talks of a monthly game night.

special appearance

{shirt: F21, shorts: Marc by Marc Jacobs (purchased from Cara-Mia), shoes: gianni bini}

First of all, say hi to my feline, she felt left out of the blogging world so she is making a special appearance in this post. I am sort of on the fence about this shirt, maybe its too short, not sure yet.

Secondly, I need a little sunshine, wow my legs are super pale! Hello poolside. Even though I am blinding the world with my winter skin, I am super happy to get to wear these lovely shorts that I bought from Miss Cara-Mia. Check out those sweet little side buttons... love that!

Last night my sweetie and I bought take-out and rented 127 Hours, after the movie we turned on MTV only to find that they were showing Garden State, one of my ALL time favorite movies. Overall a pretty amazing at-home date night.

finally friday

{dress: H&M(thrifted), shoes: target, belt: F21}

Inspired by the sweet sisters at The Pretty Life Anonymous I decided to look for some thrift stores in my area.  I found one by my office, so Thursday at lunch I checked it out... MISS :( then I was chatting with a buddy at work and she mentioned Plato's Closet... I cant believe that I forgot that it existed, so on the way home from work Thursday I made a little detour and stopped in.

I found a lot of items that I really liked, and most were in my sizes {which makes me smile} after my session in the fitting room I walked outta there with 2 pair of jeans {7 for all Mankind, $20 & Express, $10} the dress pictured above {H&M, $12} a top {Bebe, $10.00} and a necklace {Express, 3.00}.

But wait... this gets better... back for Christmas my sweet Grandmother gave me one of those Visa gift cards for $50.00... so yes... I hardly spent a thing on quite a bit of stuff. I am a happy camper for sure.

make over

I gave my blog a little face lift, it was starting to feel very cluttered to me and I am way too OCD to be okay with that.  Let me know what you think, should I add or change anything... take anything away?

more online lusting!

Eyelet Trench from the Limited, Online now, $148

Oh my... Spring is my favorite clothing season {and you can see why!} the bad thing is... my spending limits are tight and as much as I lust for cute lightweight trenches, brightly colored cardigans, and pretty little skirts I am forced to only drool over items online, or dare put them on my store credit cards {yikes! negative!}.

So I am thinking of developing a plan to sell some items, I tried eBay, but that seems to be hit or miss for me.  SOOOO... Tonight I will be digging through my items, finding special things that need new homes and posting them here... if anyone is interested in purchasing some very gently used {some times not even used} items comment to the post and we will paypal it up :)

I am also interested in doing a blogger swap with anyone who may be interested... we can share and return items after a period of time or if we dare... just swap for an eternity.... we will figure it out.

style sync

Now that I have a new recently repaired iPhone I have been on the hunt for fun apps... I just recently found a Gap Style Mixer app that seems to be ideal for uploading articles of clothing and creating outfits as well as capturing daily outfits... needless to say, I am really excited to try this one out and see what all the features have to offer.

Are there other great style inspired apps out there that you other lovely bloggers use?
