Blue Skies

While the rest of the family is enjoying mild temps back east, we are going thru actual winter temps, brrrr... Funny enough, it hasn't been raining that much, and it's been really sunny the last few days. What's up with that! But I'll take whatever sun comes our way...

Got a new fave with the necklace, yay!

Loving the details on the coat as well!

Old Navy coat

... too bad it's not reversible:p

Is it Friday yet?

When All Else Fails...

... I keep returning to a fail-safe outfit.

BR shirt, (no name) scarf, Gap jeans,
Born boots (Winners)

Guess part of my brain is still on vacay mode.

Thanks to my hi-tech camera, pffft, can't see the real color of my jeans. I love its eggplant color!

Is it Friday yet?
HAH!

The Opposite of Technicolor

Slowly working my way towards being in work mode again. I am! Or, I'm trying, anyway! Or, maybe not really... HAH!

Kinda slowly working my way back towards putting more effort dressing for work. Yes, slowly... but surely... I hope...

Daniel Hechter blouse (gift from mom), Gap vest and skirt,
Born boots and tights (Winners)

Maybe some color, for next time. Maybe not... See how I feel...

Is it Friday yet?
LOL

Lounge Wear

First day back at work today, blech! Wasn't even supposed to come in today but I made a commitment to come in and work extra hours. What was I thinking!

One thing for sure, I was not in the mood to get dolled up. I just wanted to be comfy. That's not wrong at all, is it?

Nicole Miller cardi & leggings (Costco), H&M shirt, 

If not for the boots, I know I looked like I was ready to go to bed. Meh!

C'est Chic boots (Designer Depot)

Felt kinda' surreal to be back at work. I always go thru this kind of feeling after a holiday. Not surprising, my brain was still on vacay, I thought. I know I was functioning at half the capacity. O well...

Old Navy coat

Is it Friday yet? heehee

M-I-C, See You Real Sooon...

Last day of trip. Well, actually here til tomorrow but not counting it as it's the day of departure, so no, right?

All day was spent with all sides of the family, again... <3 them all...

Poet shirt & Born boots (Winners),
H&M scarf,
AE jeggings

Funny enough, the weather today felt totally spring-y. Cray cray!!!

Comfort (and Warmth) is the Name of the Game

Can't believe vacay is almost over. Been seeing family and friends non-stop. Translation: eating non-stop. Hah!

So not only did I have to dress warmly, but also comfortably, to hide the caloric sins ingested in the last few days *sigh*

For when I met girlfriends for lunch...



Tristan sweater (hand-me-down from other sis),
Gap cord leggings,
Patagonia boots (Winners)

 For when I met in-laws for lunch...

Gap sweater,
Rock & Republic jeans (gift from mom)

Bully Wool boots (hand-me-down from sis)

Comfy is comfy does:)

How January is Shaping Up, So Far...

Been sick since evening of NYE, blech! Not a good feeling to start the New Year, and while you're on vacation at that, more blech! But it is what it is...

NYE Party was more fun than I expected. I suppose that's what happens when you have no expectations at all, in the first place. Fun!

Daniel Hechter blouse (Fairweather),
H&M faux leather pants,
Born boots (Winners)

Traditionally, we wear polka dots for New Year. Why? Polka dots supposedly signifies coin which signifies money which signifies wealth. Go figure. Never been the type to adhere to such thing as an adult, but this year, I thought it'd be fun:)

And since it's a NYE party, gotta have some bling, no?

... other sis and me:p

By New Year's day, my sniffle has turned to full blown cold so the entire day was spent on the couch, just watching movies *ah, bliss*

By Monday, I probably could've spent the entire day again at home, but this is a vacation after all meant to be spent with family and friends so I did push myself to get dressed and go out for dinner.

Jones NY coat & Patagonia boots (Winners),
Tignanello purse (gift from sis),
AE jeans

Ok, "getting dressed" is debatable, I admit. Hah! Well, I just wanted to stay warm!



Gap knit cap

 All I cared for was that I was covered, head to toe. Besides, winter has now really kicked in, and it's CCOOOOLLLDD!!!

I wouldn't say I'm feeling 100% better, but I think I'm getting over it now. Thank you, Advil, Tylenol for Cold and echinacea! heehee

Tonight was spent out for dinner with all sides of the family. My family, my in-laws, and first sis' in-laws:)

Rafaella buttondown shirt & Aerosole boots (Winners),
BR knit vest, Gap cord leggings

... love the tiny cable knit

Rachel Roy ring (The Bay)

They say it's good to feed a cold. At the rate I'm going since I got here, I think it's safe to say that I've been doing that, since that's all I've been doing, really, since I got here- Eat! eeeek
