5) Snakeskin Pattern Leather Pumps available at Zara- $119

Not that I'm complaining...but we haven't really had much summer weather yet. So when it comes to deciding what to wear, I've been so clueless lately. The middle of the day is in the low 80s...but the evenings have been in the low 60s. What to wear, what to wear!?!?! I don't know about you all, but the crisp evenings makes me want to start breaking out some autumn inspired looks. A perfect way to do this is simply with colors. Mixing light denim (super summery) with some navy pumps (hello autumn!) is a great way to transition and get ready for my favorite season. Fall just never really lasts long enough, does it? *sigh*

Look of the Day- Playing It Cool

1) Moto Stripe V Front Dress available at Topshop- $76 

2) Guthrie Necklace available at DANNIJO- $720

3) Zoe Hat available at Banana Republic- $49.50

4) Gone Boho Strappy Sandals available at Forever 21- $29.80
5) Mimosa of All Bag by Nica available at ModCloth- $84.99

I always say, when you really don't know what to wear, just keep it simple. There is nothing easier than throwing on a dress with a statement necklace and topping it off with a hat. You end up looking chic and it was a look that really took no effort. Such a great look for hanging out on a summer day!

Simple is always better...don't you agree?

Look of the Day- Somewhere Over The Rainbow

1) Wythe Wide Brim Hat available at Brooklyn Industries- $38

2) Rhinestone Necklace available at H&M- $24.95

3) Bardot Crop Top available at ASOS- $15.24

4) Nautical Nightspot Wedge available at ModCloth- $39.99

5) Limited Edition Taffeta Picnic Midi Skirt available at Topshop- $190

6) Candace Crossbody available at Banana Republic- $120

I'm 100% in love with this outfit I created above. Probably because I have nothing like it in my closet...and it's so out of my comfort zone. The hat is also way too fabulous. I might just have to take a walk down to Brooklyn Industries later on and pick one up. I've been looking for the perfect wide brim hat for summer for quite some time. This one is perfection!

Look of the Day- With a Touch of Red

4) Everyday Cami available at Forever 21- $1.80
5) Ninah Pump available at Banana Republic- $128

6) Vevina Houndstooth Pants available at Kenneth Cole- $98

I'm always wearing black. Maybe because it's practical, maybe because I'm a New Yorker. I swear half of my wardrobe is black. What I love about it so much is that you can mix and match it with so many other colors and prints and still look great. Often when wearing a black outfit I like to add a bright pop of color...like the red bag shown above. It just brings it to the next level. Don't you agree???

Look of the Day- As Sweet As Sugar

1) Cross Body Bag with Chunky Lock available at ASOS- $21.78

2) Nutcracker Dress available at Shabby Apple- $92

3) Georgie Cuff available at DANNIJO- $445

4) Cecilie Pump available at Banana Republic- $128

5) My Heart Skipped Tights available at ModCloth- $17.99

On a day like today, looking at an outfit like this puts a smile on my face. I've been in my pajamas all day long, with one of the worst colds ever. What I would give to dress up super girlie right now...but alas, the only pink I'm wearing is my pink fuzzy robe. *sigh*

Cyber Monday (or Sunday?)

Black Friday isn't such a big deal anymore. I mean, not when you have Cyber Monday (which I love. No lines to deal with!) and now Grey Thursday (which I find ridiculous. If you need to save a few bucks on a holiday that you should be spending with family and friends then you probably shouldn't be spending your money on that item! Right?). 

I was going to put up a post to let you all know about some amazing Cyber Monday deals to take advantage of tomorrow, but guess what? They are starting Cyber Monday today...on SUNDAY! So go and shop your heart out. I personally think that Cyber Monday should be on Sunday. I can't be on the computer at work shopping all day and would love to take advantage of the deals on the weekend.

Here are my favorite deals going on NOW...check them out:

~Save 50% on everything at LOFT. Use the code CYBER50 at checkout.

~Stop by The Limited and get 50% off of full price items, plus free shipping when you use the code JINGLE.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I spent the majority of it on the road. My husband, dog, and I rented a zipcar and took a quick road trip to Pennsylvania where I got to see my nephew for his third birthday. Boy is he growing up so quickly! Where does the time go?!?! Thank heavens for turning the clocks back though. I really needed that extra hour today. We had to travel back to NYC, deal with detours/crowds from the marathon, had the best burger, fries, and beer that I have had in years, and saw our new apartment for the second time. SO BUSY! And now it is 8:30pm and I think I'm going to go to bed. Have a great night and a great week everyone!
