StyleDiary: Disappointed AGAIN

Once again, the house we wanted got another offer on it. Needless to say I am disappointed and frustrated. So I took my frustrations out on some retail therapy :)

When:

Wednesday (sad, I just typed Thursday), July 8th, 2009

Where:

Work, lunch with hubby and our mortgage lender at Brixx, then Zumba with TheChicLife

Took the train (ie. lightrail) to lunch, so decided to whip out the camera and take some pics. I was getting bored with the locations around our apartment complex!

What:

Blue Ruffle Top – F21

Yellow Cardi - Old Navy

Skirt (w/ POCKETS!!!) – Express

Shoes - Report

Belt - Target

Bag - Banana Republic. My other bags were getting jealous, so I gave Lou-Lou a break :)

Thanks for your suggestions on the blog…I have some ideas up my sleeve and hopefully I will be able to work on them this weekend! Stay tuned…

StyleDiary: Time Warp

IMG_0673

When:

July 7th, 2009

Where:

Work…I have had this vest sitting in my closet for a while and kept trying to think of what to pair it with. I totally felt like a hippy or a middle schooler all day and didn’t like the look, but ah well I will post it anyways.

What:

Top – Banana Republic

Vest - F21

Pants - Limited

Shoes - Nine West

Necklace - F21

In other news, I have been pondering ways to diversify the blog as I have gotten stuck in a rut of just doing StyleDiary posts. What would you like to see/read about that you might not see on other blogs? I am hoping to do some updating this weekend and would love to have input from you!

StyleDiary: Just Another Manic Monday

…wish it was Sunday…cause that’s my fun day…

When:

Monday, July 6th

Where:

Typical Monday at work…half my coworkers are still gone on vacation and the other half are slowly getting back into the swing of things. Makes for a pretty uneventful work day!

What:

Dress – Diane Von Furstenburg, Vintage

Shoes - Nine West (I finally found my lost sandals…I have been looking for these all summer and found them in a whirlwind cleaning spree this weekend!!)

Blazer – Isaac Mizrahi for Target, I wasn’t really loving this blazer but it’s cold in my office and better than my NorthFace :) Unfortunately at work sometimes function wins over fashion, boo.

Earrings – Luna of Charleston

When:

Friday, July 3rd

Where:

Enjoying a day off from work, looking at houses (do we see a common theme to my spare time?) and lunch at Panera (Fuji Apple Salad…yummy!). We actually went back to look at a house that we had seen back in the spring. It needs some updating and the price has dropped enough to justify putting money back into the updates. Perhaps we can get our ducks in a row and we will be fixing up a great home for ourselves!

What:

Shorts – Express (two-ish summers ago). I wear shorts as little as possible, but it has been so hot and muggy here that they are necessary!

Top – F21

Headband – Knit Belt from another top

White leather sandals and earrings – Express

(Doesn’t it look like fall in this pic, weird!)

When:

Sunday, July 5th. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my brother (even though I am pretty sure he has never seen the blog!)

Where:

The usual Sunday errands, lunch, groceries, etc.

What:

Jean Jacket – GAP, so old it is getting close to vintage ;)

White Sandals and Earrings – Express (yup, same from previous day, sometimes convenience wins over thought)

Dress - F21

Belt/Scarf – Thrifted,  Charlotte, NC

Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!
