Mood Ring

Had a great meal with some great friends at Tyler Florence's Wayfare Tavern in the Financial District for a pre-birthday meal. I received an amazing piece of jewelry from a friend. I've been wanting this ring for months and this will be something I will definitely wear everyday. This past year has been quite interesting, but yet, I still feel truly blessed for everything that has happened in the last 365 days. Never take things for granted and always be grateful for everything.With that being said, here's to new beginnings and to a new season--Spring!

Recent Purchase: Sequin Mesh Bell Skirt from J.Crew

I have been eying this J. Crew skirt for at least 8 months, and when I saw it on Cupcakes and Cashmere here and here, I wanted it even more. I've been searching for this online and found the oyster colored one (top image) for an additional 30% off. Don't let sequins fool you-they are so versatile you can wear them during the day with a jean jacket (I'll be wearing mine with my Levi's!), brown belt, and gray tee or with heels and a tucked-in billowy top for the evening. Can't wait to get this little gem in the mail!

The Look for Less: Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba was spotted running errands in LA sporting a Topshop floral top, Miu Miu wedges, and a Anya Hindmarch bag retailing at least $1400. Although the overall outfit is great, I opt for the "look for less" and shopped a similar outfit below for a total of $352 (including the bag and shoes!)
