Holidaze

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I'm finding it more than a little difficult to get back into my old routine after going home for the holiday - all I want to do is run around with my niece and watch movies in bed late at night. Luckily, the beautiful weather (it was 70 degrees yesterday!) and the ever growing number of Christmas decorations and events around the city are helping to break me out of my slump. I love this time of the year, especially when it isn't accompanied with a foot of snow!

Homeward

Sorry to say I have no update on the job situation from my previous post, but I do hope the interview(s) went well. I really think I need to invest in more professional clothes, I've been wearing the same blazer to every interview and clearly it isn't working out too well for me! What do you guys wear to job interviews? I need some fresh ideas!

Also, I'm getting super excited for Thanksgiving! I'm going home for the first time since I moved down to NYC six months ago, and I miss my family (especially my baby niece) SO much! I can't wait to gorge out on turkey and mashed potatoes and watch Caillou. Oh and I'll definitely be going thrifting, I had no idea how amazing the prices were upstate until I moved to New York - definitely a positive of living in the middle of nowhere!

I hope you all have a fabulous Thanksgiving! What are your plans for the holiday?

Currently Craving: Lazy Suit

Free People 2 Pocket Cardigan; Missoni for Target Throw; Black Turband from Nasty Gal;
Panda Mug and Spoon Set; Free People Flare Denim Jeans

The ultimate lazy day outfit, complete with elastic-waist pants and a droopy cardigan. Perfect for watching movies in the afternoon with a giant cup of coffee, eating one of these bad boys (a recipe even I couldn't mess up!). Add a cozy blanket (still searching for this Missoni throw) and a turband (no hairwashing necessary), and that's my formula for the perfect lazy day!

PS - I'd be lying if I said this post wasn't inspired by Lazysuits, the most ridiculous invention in the world that I still might actually want...

PPS - Check out my Guest Editor post for The Closet by eDrop-Off - it involves Chanel and Moschino!

Leaves and Lita

Fall is finally here! I love when there's a chill in the air, the leaves start changing colors, and I can finally break out my favorite leopard maxi dress! Of course it's about 6 inches too long on me (another drawback of being short), but that just necessitates the wearing of my favorite shoes as well. If this outfit was appropriate to wear everywhere, I would!

Also guys, don't forget that tomorrow is 11-11-11! I'm not sure what that signifies but I hope it's something good - I have a job interview that day for a position I desperately want, and I need all the good omens I can get!

The Roarin' Twenties

I always love the Free People catalogs, but their November 2011 "Through The Decades" issue takes the cake. These pics are from my favorite chapter, the 1920's, inspired by Paris, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and jazz, but be sure to check out the 1970's as well - so much to drool over!
