Shopaholic Tag and OOTD.







Random outfit of the day:

Blazer: H&M
Top: Cotton On
Skirt: H&M
Shoes: Aldo



Would you consider yourself a shopaholic?

Yes, 100%.  You get to the point where if you shop every single day you pretty much have to consider yourself a shopaholic.  To be honest with you though, its better than being addicted to almost anything else.  I wouldn't really want to give up my addiction to shopping.

How would you classify your style?

I love fashion all together so it would be really hard to classify my style to one specifically. I love to wear things that are classic and that look put together.  At the same time, I am really girly and then at sometimes I can be super bohemian.  I love a cute maxi dress/skirt with my hair down and a headwrap. It's virtually impossible to classify just one style for me.

What store can you not leave without buying at least one thing?

For me this is a no brainer, Target or H&M.  I'm sure that you have heard a million people say this before, but there are so many things in Target that I sometimes convince myself that I need when I know I really don't.  Sometimes Target just sucks you in and it's not only in the clothing section but with the candles, cosmetics, shoes and jewelry sometimes.  I love that place, it's like wonderland.

Where do you find the best deals?

To be honest with you, I love shopping for deals.  With that being said, I can find a great deal anywhere that I go.  I love Old Navy and have seen some really good sales there lately.  When things AREN'T on sale there though, they have gotten fairly expensive, I can't believe it!  You can also always catch something for a great deal at Forever 21 or even Target.

What designer are you willing to splurge for?

When I am shopping, I usually just look for things I love.  I don't care if they are designer or not, I buy it if I like it.  If I had to pick one designer, I would chose Longchamp.  Now I know what you're thinking, some of the bags aren't really that expensive.  While thats true, I love to make an investment in a Longchamp bag, they really are great.

Do you have a "go to" shopping outfit?

I don't.  I sometimes don't even think about what I am going to wear and end up putting on something that is really inconvenient.  I hate when I get to the mall or something and then realize that I am wearing leggings, two layers of some kind of top and boots.  I hate when I have to take everything off and put everything back on.  Sometimes I get lazy and leave my leggings on when I try something on but pay for it later when I get home and re-try everything on and hate most of it.

What is your guilty pleasure?

Sometimes when I walk into Forever 21, I like and want almost everything in the store.  I also walk into Aldo and like almost all of the shoes that are on the shelf.  

What is one staple clothing piece that you cannot live without?

Definitely leggings.  I say this because I love how comfortable they are and recently with my weight loss, they are what is the best for me.  I don't want to go and buy a whole bunch of pairs of pants because I am continuing to lose weight and it is a complete waste.  I think though, that leggings can be made into so many different outfit creations and there are so many different types of them.

What is a trend that you hope never goes out of style?

Lace everything!

What trend did you love that passed way too quickly?

Hrmmmm!  I don't know.  I think every trend that has gone out, has gone out for a reason but I would have to say the loafers with spikes on them.  I don't know why, but I HATED that trend.  I love loafers but I really don't like the stupid studs!  Hahah, ugh.

Who is your fashion icon?

I like to create looks from things I am inspired by on a daily basis.  I don't really like anyone elses style more than another.  If I see something in the store, I will pick it up if I like it.  If I see someone wearing something that I like, I will try and find it in the store.  My style is a product of my life and the things around me.

Manicure Monday: Reach For The Rising Sun (& a cheeky OOTD).

Call me temper-mental or something but here I am talking about the weather again.  It was pretty nice out today, reaching 70 degrees!  I was really happy about it but now I just want summer a little bit more (okay a lot).  I wore another rendition of my maxi dress from Old Navy with this gorgeous J. Crew cardigan sweater in sea foam green.  Because it was a little windy, this was probably the perfect selection for outfit wearing today.


Back to Manicure Monday's theme that we normally have on a Monday (obviously).  I wanted something pink for some reason so I chose "Sugar High" by China Glaze.  Of course I had to go ahead and do something cute on the ring finger and in the spirit of fab spring weather, I went with the good old shining sun!  Ugh, I LOVE it.



What did you all wear today and put on your nails?  Send me a tweet and let me know or comment below!  Thank you for reading as always.

Overlapping Oxfords.

Of course I write a post yesterday talking about how the weather was warm.  Today.. not at all.  This doesn't stop me from wishing spring was around, so I wear green and coral.  I am off from work today and heading out to do some shopping.  Here is what I wore.


Oxford under: H&M Divided. 
Oxford on top: Old Navy.

Played with some colors.

Poppin' the collar.


I have had these Steve Madden flats since last year and have worn them to death.  I love the coral color and the texture.  My watch is MK 5606, the rings are from Old Navy, the necklace is from Forever 21 and the sunglasses are RayBan Wayfarers.

What do you wear on your day off?  Send me a tweet or leave me a comment and let me know.

Manicure Monday: April Showers Bring May Flowers.


April showers do bring May flowers.  I think this is probably going to be the case here in New Jersey for the rest of the month.  Even though my chosen source of weather is sunshine, I guess I will endure a month of rain just to get closer to the summer.  This famous phrase was the inspo for this weeks Manicure Monday and I am absolutely loving all of the color.  The base color is Zoya's Breezi.  

What are you rocking for this weeks Manicure Monday?  How often do you change your polish?  I love a fresh start to the month.  Leave a comment below or send me a tweet and let me know.  Thanks for reading!
