Back from another long blog break, and it's a whole new season! Leaves are changing colors, there's a chill in the air, and my diet consists solely of pumpkin-flavored foods... it must be Fall!

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?

Ah, the sun. I can't even believe that these pictures were taken last weekend! Now I look out my window and see inches of snow and a grey sky - how quickly things can change! But hey, it's almost Friday so I'm not going to complain. Plus, every day that goes by we get closer to Summer, when (hopefully) every day will be as sunny as it was for these pictures!

vert d'eau

The color of January is vert d'eau (sounds so pretty in French, doesn't it?)! I've recently acquired a vert d'eau Balenciaga (used, but in amazing shape!) and American Apparel nail polish in office, and I'm falling in love with the contrast of mint green against blacks and greys. Next up I'll be ordering some aqua-colored eyeliner from Urban Decay - I can't wait to see what that looks like on! I am definitely not a bright makeup kind of person, but I really want to try it out. Have you all experimented with colorful eyeliners before? I'd love some tips on how to make it work!

I had to include the blogger-fav YSL arty ring, but for those of us who can't afford $200+ rings, definitely check out Michelle Roy - adorable stuff for around $35!

Got that holiday spirit

Jacket and Shirt: American Apparel
Cardigan: Rodarte for Target

Boots: Report
Jewelry: Same as always :)

I wish I could say that I'm standing in front of my own house in the picture above, but no, my family doesn't have quite this much holiday spirit. This is the house of one of my neighbors, and it's been written about in the newspaper and everything (there isn't much to talk about in suburbia!). This is just the front of the house, and there are also lights all over the side and back, as well as moving reindeer and sleighs and tons more ridiculousness. I kind of love it!

And I think this is my dog Zoe's first sighting on this blog! She's ancient old, pretty much deaf and blind, but so lovable :) I want to dress her up in this santa dog costume I found at work, but I'm not so sure she shares my holiday spirit...

Oh and also I'm wearing my second piece from the Rodarte for Target collection, the lace cardigan. I am so glad that I stumbled upon this in the dressing room restocks at my store, I thought for sure they were all sold out! I also ordered the tights, socks, and wrap dress from Target's website, and they should be delivered tomorrow. I may have gone just a little overboard with this collaboration... Did you all get any more Rodarte since we last spoke?
