Happy Vday to you....

I hope to get back into more regular posting soon!

My Valentine's Day gift. From myself, to myself.

Best 22 bucks I've spent in a while.


Happy Friday all!

Wishlisting....

It's a snowday here in Chicago, and while I've been busy on calls (in my world, snowday means work from home, not no work/watch a toddlers and tiara's marathon), I've also had a few minutes to peruse JC's new arrivals. There are a few tops and cardi's (god, I love cardigans) that are going to have to be mine - thank goodness I have my Spring Rewards card burning a whole in my pocket.


JC, you had me a "smoldering brick" and "button-back"!

This week kicked my ass.

The (Chicago) weather was frightful, work was so NOT delightful. I deserved a treat.

I worked my tail off, and honestly, I was productive and responsible. So who got a treat? This girl!!

This Black Druzy ring made by Andara a little outside of my typical style, but I've realized (a little sadly) that I have kind of a schizophrenic style when it comes to clothes/accessories - I like classic, vintage, but also am drawn to trendy (ah militray-chic I love you!) and in rare cases even a little quirky. Druzy stones are so sprakly and I tried to keep this wearable by going with a black druzy!

PS - I just discovered Max and Chloe a few months ago, and while I've only bought this and one other necklace, I'm really digging it. And with ebates, I scored 2.5% cash-back. Like!

Glee Me!

I found and plucked this sweet vintage enamel Pin off Etsy last weekend and can't wait for it to arrive.

IMO it's perfect combo of classy-yet-quirky. And of course, Emma P. wore a similar Red Poinsettia Brooch on a recent episode (image courtesy of lovely blogger WWEPW).


I actually saw a red poinsettia brooch at a vintage store around the corner from my house, but was pleased when I stumbled across the white version since it'll fit into my wardrobe with a little more ease.


I can't wait to wear it over the upcoming holidays!

OMG. I die.

I saw the On the Job dress on Modcloth and had to have it. It so Mad Men and the color is so up my alley.


Swoon.


And I can't wait to wear it with my new Kate Spade Bow studs.
I'm on a bow-bender, that's for sure.

Love at First Site

I saw the adorable Fuchsia Rhododendron Flower Heels made by Miss L Fire (an Anthro brand I adore for her quirky but classy vintage designs!) on Modcloth, and just had to have them. Nevermind I'll be wearing nothing other than snowboots outside of the office in the near future (dear Chicago, your weather kills me!), but nevertheless, the image of me wearing these with black skinnies and a ruffly black top to NYE was enough to make me click purchase. The heel is short and thus super comfy, and the shoe fits TTS in my opinion. I'm quite pleased with these, and would love to get my greedy little hands on the black version, but appears I can only buy them from a boutique in the UK (uhm, yeeps on the shipping!!). So Modcloth, please release the black version? Stat. Grazie.
