Weekend Update

 It's been a prepster weekend filled with history.

Tonight we will drunkenly frolic around the monuments!

Friendship on 3.
1...2...3, FRIENDSHIP!

Single Girl Habits

So it's a Friday night and I decided to cook myself some dinner 

and stay in.  Today was crazy.. running around to all three of my New York stores

plus all of the department stores that carry us to refresh the floors.. all in 6" platforms. 

MY DOOOGS ARRRE BARKIN!

So I watched an episode of Sex and the City while cooking some breaded chicken 

and lemon grass dumplings.... naturally those go together... and it was the episode

where the girls go around the table and tell each other  their "secret single girl habits."

Carrie eats the saltines in the kitchen reading magazines, Miranda lotions her hands 

in those gloves watching infomercials, Charlotte studies her pores.... Samantha's a slut.

Now.. for the first time in years, my single girl habits have resurfaced.

One of which is... because I'm a true Cancerian.. reflecting on my past.

I know that sounds really "deep" and a little too general, but what I mean is I use 

to love getting in my bed after a nice shower and reading through my old diaries.

I've kept a diary since I think the 4th grade?

My last diary ended something like 2 years ago... 

and now I have my blog to keep track of my life.  So here I am..

it's a Friday night.. just me and Buddy Bear.. reading through my old blog posts.

Some of them make me sad and nostalgic for my old life in Southie.

Some make me happy that my life has grown and changed so much.

But what was kind of cool was that the {20 things about me} from my very first post

over a year ago pretty much all remain the same.  Except for the chocolate part.

I've grown to like chocolate a little more than I use to.

I'm going to continue on reading now.. then I'll go to bed so that I can wake up early, 

go get a Swedish massage, get my hair done, meet the girls out to celebrate the engagement of one of my sorority sisters and then end the night getting drunk at a bar watching the Syracuse game.

I'm looking forward to it.

Night.

Spring sprang onto Fancy Desk.

Fancy Desk

My coworker and I merged desks in a recent office renovation,

 so now we have one laaarge desk with one laaarge window over looking Midtown.  

It's almost like when Dwight creates "mega desk" in one of The Office episodes...

Then.. because we are both materialistic and vain we decided that our mega desk

should be the prettiest desk in the office... thus Fancy Desk was birthed.

It's almost like "The Finer Things Club" in another Office episode. 

Mega Fancy Desk Club.

Jealous.

We make Fancy Desk fancy with colorful treats and floral and everyone is jealous.

Every week we will have a new floral element and season appropriate treats!
Woo!
 

LWD

This is the Little White Dress that haunts my dreams.

I am absolutely obsessed with this little kerchief that's adorning my friend lil k.

(To see more of her fantastic wardrobe visit itsnevertoo.blogspot.com)

This piece is the perfect little boho "let's go sit outside an grab drinks downtown" dress.

I've had LWDs come in and out of my life in the past..
 but nothing that has really rocked my world.

This summer all I want is to be really tan and... maybe to go blonde again..

and to own a white dress that changes my life.

Ya I know.. dramatic.

But lately I feel pale, dowdy and washed up.

I need a new look asap.

I've been doing yoga, drinking more water and now all I need is a makeover.

It's coming soon... I can feel it.

In the mean time I've been checking out these dresses by Free People.

The only color I love more than the color red.. is the color poppy.

Poppy is such a bright fun color and it's perfect for spring!

I've been sporting my Nail Lacquer all week.

Last weekend when I was home, my mom and I went shopping.

We hit up our usual spots ie J.Crew, Neimans and Anthropologie.

I fell in love with every poppy shirt and dress in Anthro.

I can picture myself throwing on that cotton eyelet dress in the summer

with some cute flatforms or sandals.. grabbing a drink with friends after work.

Can't wait!

I have to say, the actual flowers are my favorite.

With their dark centers... so beautiful!

Maybe that will be next weeks desk floral arrangement...

if they even exist right now.  Here's hoping!

Cut..Paste..Wear: Floral Jeans

Sometimes I wish I was an actual doll

so I could just simply cut these bad boys out 

and place them in my wardrobe!

Garden Party Floral Skinny Jeans 

by 7 For All Mankind

Tried them on this weekend.

Need them more than anything right now.

Key words: right now.

If you know me well enough, you know that

"what I need" changes every day.

I blame it on my ADD.
