Mimosa Saturday at Brooklyn Industries

Three of my favorite things are coming together on Saturday afternoon: shopping, mimosas, and Brooklyn Industries! I swear a third of the items I own are probably from Brooklyn Industries. I especially love their dresses, graphic tees, and accessories. 

When I saw the sign for their upcoming mimosa Saturday in their Williamsburg store window yesterday on my way to work it made me sooooooo very happy! Now I know what me and my husband will be doing that day (he is as obsessed with BI too!). 

I can't wait to see their spring collection. Will you be there???

Julie Vos- Sample Sale

Start your weekend out right. Julie Vos, who is known for semi-precious stones and luxe gold tones in her jewelry, is having an amazing sample sale that is starting tomorrow (January 31st). You can save up to 80% at this online sample sale. Be sure to check out a preview of the sale here.

Personally, I can't wait to check out this sale. I'm a huge fan of fashion jewelry (especially necklaces), and an even bigger fan of a good sale!

Are you ready to shop this amazing jewelry sale???

Ice Cream Monsters

I've been meaning to take photos here since we moved to Brooklyn. This amazing mural is across the street from our apartment building...and I can't get enough of it! Monsters, ice cream, and the color pink...love love love it. One thing about Brooklyn that I do love is all of the street art. Hopefully when the weather gets a bit nicer I'll be posting more and more of it here. 

Today, with the wind chill the temperature was about 5 degrees when we took these photos. Brrrrrr!!! We rain outside, snapped away, and ran back in. Basically, I just wanted to show you all one of my new coats! I needed a new one desperately. The purple coat which I have featured on here a number of times (see here, and here) has broken. The stupid zipper broke two times on me this week...and now I can't even open it. I've had it for about 5 or 6 years now...and have worn it to death. So yesterday I went coat shopping. Not an easy task since many of the stores have their spring clothing out already. But Zara had some amazing deals on their winter outerwear. I grabbed two coats there, both on sale! This houndstooth beauty was only $49.99 (which was half off of the original price).

coat- Zara 

tights- H&M

scarf- gift from my parents

boots- Hunter

hat- Urban Outfitters

You might be noticing that my bangs are looking a little different. I decided to switch things up a bit and let my blunt bangs grow out. So last weekend I went to the cutest hair salon down the street from me called Head Chop and had my blunt bangs turned in to side swept bangs...for a smoother transition. 

My favorite and most useful gift this Christmas has to be these Hunter boots (in the shade of lipstick). First off, they are adorable. Secondly, with this insane weather we have been having lately I'm wearing them all the time.

Rocko even has booties he needs to wear. With the amount of salt that gets dumped on the streets and sidewalks he cries out in pain if he doesn't have them on. Or maybe he is just being a puppy fashionista!

Today we're suppose to be getting another inch of snow (ugh!) and more brutal cold next week. I seriously can't take this weather much longer. BRING ON SPRING!!! My trip to San Francisco at the end of March can't get here soon enough.

What are your plans this weekend???

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???

Warby Parker: Palm Canyon Collection

I have such exciting news! Warby Parker has just announced their limited-edition Palm Canyon Collection. This new collection of frames come in four styles Winston, Duckworth, Preston, and Wheeler. 

The quality and chic styles are what we have grown to know and love about Warby Parker's eyeglasses and sunglasses...and what makes the Palm Canyon Collection extra special is that not one single pair is alike. This is because they have spent a year perfecting their design and construction. Each frame features a hand-mixed acetate inset at the end piece. So when you wear these great looks you'll be extra stylish, yet totally unique.

Also, don't forget that for every pair of glasses that are purchased, Warby Parker distributes a pair to someone in need. 

Be sure to stop by and check out the collection. Which style from the Palm Canyon Collection is your favorite?

What They Should Be Wearing- 2014 Golden Globes

Award season is officially here! I think the Golden Globes are usually my favorite...mixing my favorite TV celebrities with my favorite movie stars. I'm sure I'll watch some of the actual awards show, but what I'm looking forward to most is the red carpet. It's all about the fashion...am I right???

Right now I'm sitting here thinking about what the hottest celebrities in Hollywood are going to be wearing tomorrow evening. This is what I'm hoping they fashion.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Spring 2014 Monique Lhuillier

Zooey Deschanel in Pre-Fall 2014 Oscar de la Renta

Mila Kunis in Pre-Fall 2014 Monique Lhuillier

Zoe Saldana in Pre-Fall 2014 Badgley Mischka

Amy Adams in Spring 2014 Jenny Packham

Jennifer Lawrence in Pre-Fall 2014 Badgley Mischka

Do you agree with any of my picks? What do you hope your favorite stars wear?

Rainy Day Saturday

Today I was planning on a fun photoshoot out in the neighborhood since the Polar Vortex was gone and warmer weather was on the way (hitting 60 today!)...but that warm weather came with a ton of rain. So, I'm just hanging around my apartment. That's okay though. Getting some chores done, getting some blog work done, and hanging out/being lazy. A day like this is just fine with me. So...an indoor shoot was in order. The first one in my new place!

dress- Brooklyn Industries

tights- Joe Fresh

boots- Nature Breeze via ModCloth

necklace- H&M

This weekend is going to be a busy one. Possibly hitting up a bar tonight, a date with my hubby for brunch in the neighborhood, watching the Golden Globes red carpet (and maybe a little bit of the awards), eating homemade pulled pork Asian style tomorrow night, and the new season of Girls starts tomorrow night! WOOHOO! Happy weekend to me! 

What are your weekend plans???
