Philly's Girl

Happy to report that my trip to The City of Brotherly love was quite the success!  The drive wasn't as bad as I had anticipated and it was great to spend some time with my close friends.

Friday I had my interview and I think that it went well.  Now I'm just playing the waiting game and should hear back in the next week or two. I've got my fingers crossed!

The weather was absolutely gorgeous this weekend and I was able to prance about the city with my dresses and skirts with no tights!  

This was the outfit I chose to wear to my interview:


I wanted to wear something that was colourful and spring like but also kept the "business" side in mind to look professional.  The dress is Fire by Los Angeles and I bought it from Marshalls sometime last summer.  It's super lightweight, breathable and the best part, ladies: IT HAS POCKETS!


Since the dress has a racerback quality I kept the cardigan on during the interview but as soon as I got outside I flung it off because it was so beautiful out. It's just too bad that sun wasn't still shining when I got the chance to photograph the outfit later in the day.  By then the clouds had rolled in, but it was still very pleasant out.


Expect another detailed post later on this week about some of the random adventures that I had in the city and on the road!

David Bowie: Fashion Icon, Rock Legend

David Bowie January 8th, 1947- January 10th, 2016 Although I'm writing this several months after his death, I still wanted to bring forward the importance of David Bowie and his contribution to music and fashion.  I do have to admit, I never was a huge  David Bowie fan,but there has been a number of songs and outfits that have inspired me over the years. In his life, Bowie produced 26 albums, did 14 world tours and appeared in 21 films and television shows. He accomplished so much during his time and his death was a huge loss in the world of rock and roll.  While all of these accomplishments are great, there have been some iconic outfits that have been worn by Bowie in the past years that made some of these moments famous and never forgotten. Life on Mars Some of Bowie's most famous suits were designed by Freddie Burretti , including the suit he wore in the music video "Life on Mars."  Not only did he design the blue suit, but a lot of othe

Polka Dot Queen

As you might of seen in the last post, I really enjoy getting dressed up for special occasions!  This time is was no different.  Usually I end up going out and buying something new to wear to a wedding but in this case I already had a dress in my closet.  A few months ago a girl I worked with at Timberland came by my desk with a dress that she said was a gift from someone but it didn't find her exactly.  She's a little bit shorter than I am and the proportions were off for her.  That's the down side to being a petite girl! (I'm not even at 5'2!) So she was kind enough to bestow it upon me!  I've been waiting for the right occasion to come along and this was it! The polka dot dress from Forever21 has a cute little peplum and also a mesh top which adds character to the dress.  It also has the sweetest peter pan collar and a keyhole back.  The shoes are Carlos by Carlos Santana and I got them for a steal at Buffalo Exchange in Philly a few years back.

Dark Vibes

Hi Everyone! I'm back!....I think. Since I went on hiatus, I've moved twice, got a new(er) position at Destination Maternity and still have been interviewing my butt off hoping that a new job will soon come along. I was really feeling my outfit the other week, so I had my roommate snap a couple of photos when I got home from work.  It's really a shame that it gets dark so early these days.  Don't get me wrong, I love  fall but I don't love how short the days become. The scarf was a gift from an old roommate.  Her boyfriend's mother had given it to her but she didn't want it.  I'm not exactly sure why  but you can never have enough scarves if you ask me! I've always enjoyed black on black on black looks.  The only problem I ever have is my blacks will never match, ever! #gothgirlproblems I got the shoes over the summer from Forever 21. They were the last of their kind!  A lot of women that I work with are also
