Fashion Alert - Upcoming Sale!

FYI ladies...I got some really good news today.  I was in my store earlier today and a sales associate told me that they are having major markdowns on Tuesday (about 1000 pieces).  She told me that my Anthro store is opening at 9:00 am (an hour earlier than normal) to help with the sale.  I think I might have to go into work a little late that day  :)

Fresh Picks to Follow: Bows

Take a bow ladies - Happy Friday.  I am so looking forward to this weekend...I feel like I'm coming down with something, so I will be resting as much as possible.   My Fresh Picks post involves anything with pretty bows.  Bows are a fantastic fashion accessory that can take your blah clothes to something a lot more interesting.  Bows never really go out of fashion, although sometimes they do creep into current trends more than usual.  Here are a handful of my favorites with bows...enjoy!

1.  Gift boxes with bows 

2.  Anthropologie - River Bow Necklace  $38.00

3.  Banana Republic - Andrea Bow Tank  $45.00

Working on Columbus Day

Hi ladies!  Hope that you all had a wonderful holiday weekend.  Unfortunately, I am one of the many people who had to work today.  So, I figure that I would post my outfit of the day for you all to view.  My outfit was kind of boring today, but my belt from Anthropologie really did make the outfit more interesting.  The Cylindrical Braid Belt is my favorite accessory piece that I’ve bought from Anthro so far.  I have the black one right now, but I hope to get a couple of other colors, like the brown and the coral.  The belt is stretchy and very versatile.  This belt would be a perfect addition to anybody’s wardrobe.    

Anthropologie Cylindrical Braid Belt $34.00 (see here)
White Button Down Shirt (old) Ann Taylor Loft
Plaid Skirt (old) Banana Republic
Open Toe Wedges (old) Nine West Outlet

miscellany monday

hello from sunny florida!  i hope you all had a fantastic weekend!  mine was filled with traveling, eating, photographing, and attending a baby shower! i have few random thoughts to share with you today. so, many thanks to carissa, i decided to link up (and i'm typing in all lowercase because why not?)

{1} can you believe that daylight savings is just around the corner (november 7^th at 2:00 am to be exact). i always get a little sad when it starts getting dark around seven pm.  what’s even harder to handle is that it’s dark when i wake up in the morning.  is it sad that i’m already looking thinking about springing forward before falling back?

{2} so this weekend i flew to washington, dc for my cousin’s baby shower.  she is having her first baby later this month and i couldn’t be happier for her and her husband.  in my previous post, i posted a picture of a diaper cake that my sister and i made.  the cake came out better than i expected.  i spent most of the day telling my co-workers about my masterpiece.  check it out below.

{3} i try not to watch too many reality shows, but for some reason i do like to watch the real housewives of the bravo channel.  i am watching the housewives of atlanta right now, but unfortunately, i’m not loving this season yet.  i’m looking forward to watching the housewives of beverly hills…i have a feeling that those ladies are going to be fabulous. 

my favorite shows include gossip girl, amazing race, law and order, csi, how i met your mother and project runway (i’ve always had a secret desire to design clothes).

that's all i have for now...until next time.
