Birchbox February 2015

Even though it's practically March, I suppose it's better late than never to share my February Birchbox...





I haven't had the time to try out most of the samples, but I am particularly interested in trying the sea salt spray for Friday night. I did like the theBalm lipgloss--I never would have gone out of my way to choose a pink lip color, it's cute.

NPT/NGT/WKD: Find of the Week | 8

No one should be a slave to labels, but I confess that I am absolutely obsessed with Juicy Couture.

When you think of Juicy Couture, the velour sweatpants and hoodie set is probably the first thing that comes to mind. In reality, Juicy has the cutest clothes that you wouldn't wear on lazy Sunday afternoon. My favorite pieces by Juicy are the cardigans and the coats, so naturally every time I see them at a great price, I jump for it.

I went to Crosswynds Traders and found a Juicy cardigan and a Juicy jacket. The cardigan is something I will wear all of the time and the jacket is perfect for spring--I am so ready for this New England weather to warm up!







P.S. I'm claiming my blog on Technorati :)

Find of the Week | 7

It's been a while since I've gone shopping--the last time I had any sort of "spree" was about a month ago when I went to Kristina Richards and Gap.

Lately I've noticed that I am in dire need of new everything--basic tops (both long and short sleeve), cute tops (chambray shirt and regular button-downs), jeans, bags, and a good raincoat.

I finally bought something I could afford at Gossip on a broke girl budget--this Free People poncho can be worn year round:



Today, I stopped by Crosswynds Traders on the way home from work--I was not expecting to score Juicy Couture jeans for only $2.00 and a mini neon handbag for only $10.00. It made my day:

Newport/Narragansett/New York: The Big Weekend Recap; PGC 2012 Days 18-21

I haven't blogged in a few days, and a lot has happened.

First of all, I got my first PGC 2012 prize in the mail! As of today, I have five more prizes coming. It's like Christmas, except Santa is tossing out organic, non GMO foods and riding a Hybrid sled instead of unethically traded, processed candy and a BigRedSled450.

Thank you Teens Turning Green! 

Thursday's PGC 2012 Day 18 challenge focused on technology. One component of the challenge was to take a picture of all the electronics in your possession. When I got out all of my electronics and put them together, at least two of them were faulty or dead. My iPod Nano, for example, has been rendered obsolete, because I have an iPhone. It's weird thinking about how we are constantly shelling out a lot of money for technology that keeps changing every 18 months.

 I could buy the iPhone 5, but I am waiting as long as possible to buy a new phone.

Thursday's Outfit: Cardigan, Old Navy; Shirt, Forever 21; Jeans, Gap; Booties, Report; Bracelets, Primark
All my electronics
 Friday's PGC 2012 Day 19 Challenge was organic cotton. I made a Pinterest board of organic cotton products--I wish I could buy them in real life.

Friday's Outfit: Sweater, Gap; Leggings, Gap; Boots, Coach
Saturday morning, my friend and I volunteered at the Newport Food Truck Festival at the Yachting Center. My boyfriend and I tried to go to the Food Truck Throwdown in Boston (I was told there's a difference between the two events), but it was really crowded. I was happy to volunteer for a little while before I went home to celebrate my grandfather's birthday, but it was so misty and cold standing outside! Of course by the time I left, the sun was shining brightly like a late summer afternoon. After such a busy day, I found it ironic that the PGC 2012 Day 20 Challenge focused on wellness and less stress.


Chocolate cupcake--and if you must know, it really was a "Kick*ss" cupcake


Izze had a booth at the Food Truck Festival and were giving out tasting samples. I asked if they had the Pomegranate flavor, my favorite, and they were kind enough to give me the bottle for free. That made my morning.

I went to New York City yesterday with member of the student newspaper and the student literary magazine. Aside from the fact I woke up late and sped over to Newport at 5:50 am to catch a 6:30 am bus, it was so much fun.

My roommate from Oxford went on the trip and we hung out most of the time. When we all got dropped off at Rockefeller Plaza, she and I went to H&M, Starbucks, Alice's Tea Cup on 42nd St., Laduree, and Central Park. After spending way too much money than we should have, we ate at Subway for lunch. From there, she went to the New York Public library for a tour, and I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see the Andy Warhol exhibit. Afterwards, we walked through the city one more time to get to our bus to leave. 

Needless to say, I did not get any homework completed while I was in the city, so I stayed up late last night studying and finishing up the PGC 2012 Day 21 Challenge, sharing and collaborative consumption






Those are indeed $900 shoes in a fish tank.
After going to the Laduree teahouse in Harrod's I have been wanting to come  here. I want to come here every time I'm in the city...
The only thing holding me back is that this small box--6 macarons--is $21.00. That's French imports for you.


Sunday's Outfit: Jacket, Bebe; Pants, Gap; Belt, vinage; Tank Top, (from Oxford); Bag, (from a NYC vendor); Flats, Nomad

Want: Fall 2012

As much as I love sitting on the beach and living in a bikini, I miss dressing myself in layers-on-layers-on-layers. With fall's fashion bible coming out soon (Vogue's September Issue), it is an appropriate time to lay out what I want this fall. 

I enjoyed Burberry's ladylike and playful touches. In recent seasons, there has been a peculiar toughness, so it was great to see the Brits lighten up with a grownup graphic tee paired with the fashion house's signature tailoring. The booties are also a noteworthy touch. I am not really a bow person, but I love the leather bow belts worn on the runway. Whether I would actually wear them myself is debateable.

I love the lighter tones in this outfit. Black, white, and dark grey compose the majority of my fall/winter wardrobe, but I like how this jacket looks against denim. Again, the booties are awesome.

Because my current fall palate is tonal, I want to add color. Wearing more color is a personal goal in general, year-round. I love the bright yellow and the navy and white scarf, because it has the cheeriness of summer, but still muted by fall updates.

These smoking slippers are everywhere. What I like about them is that they are cooler and more comfortable than ballet flats. 


This look is impeccable and is a great example of transition from late summer to early fall. She wears the bones of a summer outfit, but wears a heavier knit cardigan and leather shorts. It never hurts to wear a Chanel handbag.

Jessica Alba is one of my favorite style icons and this year she has never looked better (maybe thanks to stylist Brad Goreski?). She has recently been photographed wearing a ton of colored jeans, like below. I am not so crazy about the turquoise glasses, so I would probably wear tortoiseshell glasses or black cat-eyes.

It should be noted she is also wearing killer booties.



Kryz Uy is my favorite fashion blogger. This look is perfect for fall for a variety of reasons--minimal use of color, cool booties, leather, and a comfortable sweater.

To be honest, I am surprised at my attraction to this sneaker-wedge-bootie hybrid. I love the colors and it looks comfortable, but still looks fashion forward. Not convinced? This is one of those things that I would advise to "wear it like you mean it," because it can look like one fierce shoe if worn with the right attitude. 


On the contrary, this bootie is darling. If you want to soften a tough outfit, I would wear these.


What I love about the cut-out booties is that they look great paired with solid tights in colder weather. These red shoes would look cool with a crisp white shirt, khaki-colored skirt, black tights, and gold bangles... as well as anything else in your fall wardrobe.


Juicy Couture always serves as great style inspiration, as well as the gorgeous Magdalena. I love the jewelry and accessories paired with the outfits.

Trend Spotting: Winter 2011

Oh trend-spotting! What is popular this season? I've never done this type of post before, but let's see how it goes:

Boots
Everyone loves the practical pair of Sorel boots when the snow and slush is all over the ground, but there are two types of boot emerging from both the Wellington/Hunter family and the style influencers who found a way to bring their fur fetish to footwear.

The sweater boot looks as if there is already a woolen sock popping out, but it's just a great way to show off subtle layering. Please stop trying to bring leg warmers back and just wear these!

Sweater-Top Rainboot in Purple,  $34.00, Charlotte Russe
Manni Boot in Regal, $99.00, Juicy Couture


I love the new fur boot--it is usually with a wedge or heel and has fur all over the calf of the boot. Sometimes it has a great strap or buckle running across the shaft to avoid looking like a furry beast!
Fur Cuff Wedge Bootie in Black, $45.50, Charlotte Russe

UGG Collection Fall/Winter 2011 Ad featuring Venice inspired boots

Faux Fur Cuff Bootie in Almond, $129, Victoria's Secret


Sweaters


Witness the comeback of the not-so-ugly-at-all patterned sweater:


Whittendale Crew Neck Jumper in  Red,  $119, Jack Wills
Fair Isle Long Sweater in Black, $69.50, American Eagle Outfitters

Gloves

Do you hate it when your hands get cold in the winter but you still like playing Words with Friends on your iPhone anyway? There are more gloves that can still keep you fashionably texting compared to last year.

Text Me Leather Gloves in Heather Prestige, $98.00, Juicy Couture
Striped Texting Gloves (available in  Green, Navy, Pink and Red)
$15.50, American Eagle Outfitters

Of course, these are not the only trends going on this winter. Next Trend Spotting: Winter 2011 I want to go over the scarf-hood hybrid--"the snood"-- and winter jackets.
