This week couldn’t have gone any slower but thankfully it’s finally Friday — time to celebrate my dad’s birthday. Happy birthday Dad, I love you! Have a happy weekend!

I am not big into jewelry, I wear tiny studs in my ears and two bracelets that I never take off, but I am always drooling over bright and shiny pieces and this J.Crew bracelet hits the spot. I love the green and bronze together and the fact that it’s substantial looking but not a bulky bangle.

I walk by an Ann Taylor store almost every day on the way to and fromwork. I have been in a few times, and believe I even used to own a pair of yellow A.T. jeans…But these days I am often conflicted about buying things because while some items really hit the mark, others seem to be a Chico’s-inspired disaster! One thing I’m not confused about though are these amazing neon pointy toe flats. I think they’re awesome. Nude so they can be worn with just about everything. Neon to add a punch of color. And the pointy toe gives the shoe a dressier feel than my day-to-day ballet flats. Well done Ann!

It’s too warm for a beanie and too cold for a panama hat…what’s the perfect late winter/early spring hat? I’m really liking this Madewell fedora because it’s not the typical straw hat but it still works with the season. I’m going to keep my eyes open but this is a serious contender. I’m guessing by the time I finally decide what hat I want it will be consistently warm enough for my awesome summer hats…but that’s life!

When I got home from Vegas earlier this week I decided I needed a bit of a blog break — some time to find some inspiration for the old .com and snap out of this funky haze. New York has had absolutely insane weather so I am going to try and use that to snap out of it. I’ll be back in action soon enough.

In the meantime here are a few of my favorite places to find inspiration:

I’m signing off for the week today because I am leaving for Vegas tomorrow! I can’t wait to get out of the city, spend time with friends and gamble! Have a great rest end of the week and a high rolling weekend!

Why is it that my comfy cozy look, which I always envision in my head looking like this, leaves me looking either more dumpy or way too over done? I absolutely love the effortless yet still put together feel of this look. The real kicker here; not even beanie and a scarf takes away from how chic she looks. Call me crazy, it may just be jeans and a blazer but I am totally craving this look!

In addition to not being the best packer, I always have a really difficult time deciding what to wear on the plane. I like to be comfortable, but I’ve long since outgrown wearing sweats on the airplane. Thanks to Refinery29, my go-to for just about everything, has given me a great idea and I can definitely pull together an outfit like –  suitable for the warm New York and Vegas weather.
