Another trend resurging are ear cuffs, especially those with spikes or delicate fringe-like chains.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As a young profesh in NYC, my everyday work staples start and end with fitted pants, a flowy blouse (my collection of white ones are starting to get out of hand...), a you-can-fit-everything-in-here satchel, and then some bling. These black Rag & Bone pants are my go-to, they're softer than denim and squeeze by the no jeans in the office rule, while still letting me dress for my style. The black and white combo is crisp and classic, and then I can easily switch out whatever accessories I'm currently into- a non-black purse, a metallic or colorful skinny belt (J. Crew has the best selection around) and stacks of bangles and mixed metal rings.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Oh and a fun tip for the stylish-but-money-saavy?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Those gorgeous Rebecca Minkoff earrings: $10 at the sample sale last week. Loeffler Randall pumps: 30% off sale, plus I asked for a discount because there was a pink spot on one and it was the last of my size. They gave me another 10% off. Tassel bracelet: 50% off the sale price at the C. Wonder going out of business sale.</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Shop smart. Be patient and check back for sales. Often. Sign up for newsletters from your favorite brands that will send you discounts and tell you when there are pop-up sales. Investment pieces are worth it, but you can almost always find a way to make them fit your budget.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Being an always-slightly-chilled lady myself, this outfit combo is pretty much my go-to in any season. My comfy skinny jeans, oversized lightweight sweater, ankle boots and some bling.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My latest addition this year has been this awesome thrifted leather backpack. I've been carrying it a lot on the weekends when I'm heading to the park or the farmers market, or shooting for the blog: any time I'll be carrying a lot of stuff. It's unbelievable the different between carrying weight in a purse on one shoulder vs. splitting it between two with a backpack. It makes me feel 10 lbs. lighter! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The 2015 outdoor wedding season has officially started and I've got one down and 4 more to go before the fall! I am so glad I took the plunge and bought this Kate Spade dress (not that I didn't agonize over the decision for days) because (a) it is totally worth the investment to get one designer piece instead of a different $100+ dress for each wedding and (b) navy, I repeat NAVY, is my go-to neutral to start a formal outfit with. I paired the dress with nude heels (with a bow detail to match the dress) and yellow accessories to match Papa G, but I plan to switch it up with all blush pink, crisp white, or orangey red accessories at later weddings this year. If you're looking to invest in a good dress, I can't recommend navy in a thick, shiny fabric enough - it's the perfect year round color - not as heavy as black, but not as summery as a blush pink, and it can be paired with almost any color accessory, making it super versatile. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hopefully the chilly days are fiiiinally coming to an end
here in NYC, but I’ve loved wearing this olive wool jacket on windy days. The
color and lighter weight are perfect for spring and fall, and can even be worn
on not so cold days in winter. It has a great little fur collar detailing that’s
thinner than most fur collars I’ve seen – it’s nice that it’s not too bulky-feeling for spring. This coat costs around $500 from Sandro, but I actually
snagged it for $30 at my fave thrift shop, <a href="http://www.beaconscloset.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Beacon’s Closet</span></a>!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Fun fact: Apparently karma is a b**** for those who brag
about their great jacket finds, because I had an entire venti coffee thrown on
me by a stranger while wearing this coat the other day. I just got it
back from the dry cleaners and spent about an hour brushing out the fur collar
with my teasing comb to get it to look right again.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Good news: it was
successful. Bad news: Beauty is pain, people. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm not normally one to get so excited for Target collaborations, but the <i>Lilly Pulitzer x Target</i> collab is <b>SPOT ON</b> for everything I want to wear to the beach this summer. Lilly is one of those designers that the collegiate-southern-belle in me loves, but cannot usually justify buying because her collections are mainly filled with things I would only wear when vacationing somewhere tropical or tailgating my alma matter's football game </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>(Read as: not very often. Or certainly not often enough to spend $150 on a pair of shorts). </i></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Lilly x Target collection officially launches on April 19th, but you can still check out the lookbook online <a href="http://www.target.com/c/lilly-pulitzer-for-target-brand-shop/-/N-4ymap" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">HERE</span></a>, or browse all the things I'm going to buy for (fingers crossed) the 25th birthday trip I'm hoping to take...</span></div>

Kate Spade Saturday and Piperlime. All three stores have officially closed
their doors in SoHo, and Piperlime is the only one that remains available
online, but is said to shut down by the end of April (so keep your eyes peeled and your
fingers crossed for big sales to come). Thank goodness Zara and J. Crew are
still standing otherwise I’d be on shopping red alert! Speaking of,

<span style="font-size: large;">Anywho, as it’s still pretty chilly here in the city, I’ve
still been wearing my all black NYC uniform. I’m excited for spring weather to
finally arrive, but is it silly that I’ve been so excited just to be able to
wear lighter wool coats with no scarves? It’s so much more fun than the
hat+earmuff+puffer coat regimen I’ve had to stick to all winter… If you’re an
outerwear fiend like me, now is a great time to score coats on major sale, or
find steals at your local thrift shop. I’ve been trolling my neighborhood <a href="http://www.beaconscloset.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #660000;">Beacon’s Closet</span></a> the past few weeks and scored this Zara coat for $25 (normally $199) and a Sandro wool
jacket (normally <u>$550</u>) for $30. WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA’AM.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Giving a big sigh today while reading all these fashion blog posts showing open-toed heels and floral blouses proclaiming <i>"Spring is Almost Here!"</i> For those of you living in the frozen tundra that is the northeast, you know that spring is most certainly <i><b>not</b></i> here. Spring is still on vacation in Fiji and isn't even thinking about coming home yet. The low today in NYC is 3 degrees. 3 DEGREES. PLUS WIND. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(Shivers at her desk under her two layers of scarves...). </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So stay bundled is the message of this post. And how to do that fashionably you may ask? Well I think a wool beanie is a cute as the next blogger, but my long, frizz-prone hair + a wool straightjacket pressing it to my head, does not for a good hair day make. Enter the earmuff (music of angels singing here). Keeps you warm where it counts, and won't mess up any 'do. Plus now that we're "supposedly" entering spring soon, there are some good sales to be found on winter wear. I'm wearing my favorite Athro earmuffs, I love how the cream color stands out against my hair, but a pair of black or oxblood ones would look so sleek! Check out some of my favorite fuzzy options below!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Ah romance is in the air. Or maybe that's just snow and freezing rain, am I right NYC?? Jokes. I have them. Valentine's gets a bad rap from a lot of folks, but I am such a sucker for the holiday. Valentines/Galentines, what's not to love about a pink frilly holiday where you eat candy and celebrate the people you love? Hallmark, I'm on board. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This year, I took a break from my usual all-black-everything-new-yorker outfits to pair up a few of my most feminine pieces. To keep it updated, I mixed one pastel with one bright color (light pink and cherry red is much more sophisticated than hot pink and red). The soft cashmere sweater and mid-length full skirt give a sweet, classic vibe, and by keeping my accessories all red on bottom and pink on top, the look has a modern color blocking effect.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">So we all survived the snowpacalypse here
in NYC, but it seems like the snow flurries and piles of <strike>white fluff </strike> (oops I meant kind-of-dirty-gray-mush) are here to stay for a while. Enter city-girl’s two best snow-weather friends:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">(1) A pair of classic TALL rain boots. These
have replaced my standard black leather boots for the time being. Going with
black rather than a bright color means my coworkers don’t seem to notice that I
wear them every day, and man is it nice not to worry about jumping over slush
puddles and getting salt all over my leather boots on my way to and from the
office. TIP: BUY THE BOOTSOCKS. They <i>are</i> essentially questionably-pricey fleece
kneesocks, but honestly, they’re worth every penny to keep your feet toasty
warm. Classic boots like Hunters have no real lining without them. Fold them
over your boot (pictured) for one look, or tuck them down into the boot for a sleeker
look while still staying warm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">(2) Blanket
Scarves. Warm and chunky layers, you can’t beat it. And if you haven’t yet
succumbed to buying the Zara plaid blanket scarf almost <i>every </i>woman has this season, it’s time. Nothing beats being able to
wrap your scarf around you and snuggle up when the wind picks up.</span><span style="font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Ho Ho Ho Merrrrrrry Christmahannukwanzica! Yes, I know I'm a tad late on getting this out there in the internet world. Every year I hold two big dinner parties and invite all my New York friends- one in the spring, and one in the winter between Thanksgiving and Christmas. And while the holiday season has come and gone, there are a few tips I always stick to when hosting a large (<i><b>budget friendly</b></i>) dinner party for any occasion.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>WHERE TO SPEND YOUR MONEY</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color: #222222;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">(1) SPEND ON FOOD, NOT BOOZE.
Reason: potluck dinners are pretty common in your twenties, but it's rare to be
served a fully curated menu</span>. It makes for a
much more special occasion, rather than a stressful one with friends guessing
what to bring. This also ensures all the dishes in your meal complement each other,
since you have control of the menu, and you won’t end up with six servings of store-bought
cookies and pasta salad.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">(2) DON’T BUY ALCOHOL. Reason: ask
your guests to bring a bottle of their favorite wine or beer. Friends will want
to contribute to the party and this is an easy way to ensure everyone has a
drink they’ll love. Bonus, this also is a subtle teaching moment about bringing
a hostess gift to a party, hopefully a lesson your friends will carry with
them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">(3) DON’T BUY EVERYDAY ITEMS YOU COULD BORROW. Reason: well,
that’s dumb. Borrow folding tables, extra chairs, votive candles, serving
dishes, even plates and cutlery if you need to. You don’t normally set a table
for 16, so don’t feel like you need to invest in tons of extra everyday items.
Your friends and neighbors surely have some staples you could borrow. Just be
sure to plan ahead so you aren’t trying to run errands on the day of the
party.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">(4) DO BUY CLOTH NAPKINS AND CHARGERS. Reason: while
apartment 5B definitely has some extra wine glasses you could borrow, they
probably don’t have linen napkins and metallic chargers in a matching color
scheme. I own 16 gold chargers (I purchased my first set of 12 at Target for $2
each, and picked up four more at Michael’s when they were on sale for $0.69!)
and a mix of plain white cloth napkins (aka the cheapest you can buy) and gold
chevron napkins (bought on sale at C. Wonder). Even when my chairs are
mismatched or the china isn’t all from the same set, the table looks pulled
together and polished because of the uniformity from the gold chargers and
fancier napkins. Going with gold or silver means that you can use these items
year round, another money saver.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">(5) DON’T BUY CENTERPIECES. Reason: it’s way too easy to make.
Unless you find a killer deal on flowers, forgo them for greenery that’s in
season and CANDLES. Candles are the key to great ambiance. Borrow as many
votives as you can and scatter them in random groupings down the center of your
table. I also used bunches of holly (free: picked from my neighbor’s bush) and
pine boughs (tipped the christmas tree salesman on my block $5 and got a whole
bushel of leftover branches) as accents on my table and mantel.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">(6) MAKE NAPKINS RINGS & PLACE CARDS. I always make my
place settings out of something natural to decorate my table. This year I used
the pine boughs I already had on hand and oversized gift tags that I hand-lettered with guests' names and tied together with twine.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Still waiting on those snowflakes here in NYC, but it's blue all the time here with the hottest (pun?) colors this winter - cobalt, navy and gray. I absolutely adore this statement wool coat from J. Crew - it's worth investing in more coats than just your below-freezing-marshmallow-man-standard-black-puffer-coat. Your outfit may be exquisitely styled, but no one's going to see it beneath your coat and scarf when it's this cold out. Make sure you love your outerwear just as much.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">In an effort to declutter my desk space at home, I recently built a handy little shelf to (a) cover my ugly old radiator and (b) store my paperwork and craft supplies somewhere <i>away</i> from the top of my desk. It was looking pretty bland so I DIYed my own Kate Spade striped folders (cost = zero dollars!.. because I had all the materials already on hand) to replace my dingy mismatched manilla ones.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The difference isn't that dramatic, but the space definitely looks more pulled together because it all fits in my white, gold and pink theme... rather than looking like the rainbowed craft room of a child. Keep reading for the easy how-to!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(1) Start on one side of the folder and place a strip of washi tape flush against the vertical edge. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaR14zPohBI3HFSGwY5y7aaXsqQBwqZKWxS3uAsCPrbI1gm7-08H-RRvDQLdB20ksmr2qvzlEM97WYh-kRZQJovICVgwtiR2QmSlsUEdBS8e3I961qjqtSRNhW8u44qTbpDa-AJtemVUet/s1600/DSC_0009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaR14zPohBI3HFSGwY5y7aaXsqQBwqZKWxS3uAsCPrbI1gm7-08H-RRvDQLdB20ksmr2qvzlEM97WYh-kRZQJovICVgwtiR2QmSlsUEdBS8e3I961qjqtSRNhW8u44qTbpDa-AJtemVUet/s1600/DSC_0009.JPG" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="text-align: center;">(2) To make sure your stripes are evenly spaced, cut a small excess piece of tape and place it next to your first stripe, with the edges touching. Then adhere your next stripe touching the other side of your tiny tape spacer. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>*I only put a spacer near the top of each strip and then eyeballed the spacing at the bottom. The beauty of washi tape is that it can be pulled up and placed again if you're not happy with your line, but if straight lines are not your forté, just put a second set of little tape spacers at the bottom of your stripes as well as the top, and your stripes will be perfect!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">(3) Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the whole folder is covered.</span></span></div>
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(4) Flip the folder over and carefully trim the excess tape from your edges. I experimented with both scissors and my xacto knife for this, and they work about equally- the xacto knife was a little easier to use around the curved corners and label area of the folder, while the scissor was easier to get a perfectly straight, close cut on the straight edges. Use whatever you prefer, but if you're using an xacto, be sure to put something underneath you to protect your work surface! (cardboard works just fine)</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(5) Remove your tape spacers and discard. Or if you're going to make more than one folder, stick them to the edge of your desk or work surface and then re-use them when putting together the other folders (it will make your washi tape last longer if you waste as little as possible on the spacers!)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I always have jars and jars of pens, pencils and markers floating around my workspace. I can never seem to cut down on the amount of writing utensils I own. And while it screams <i>Look! I'm artistic!</i> It definitely doesn't contribute to the simplistic clutter-free aesthetic I'm always striving for. Easy solution? Stop displaying your pens out in the open like the artwork they're not and hide them away in a pen-sized drawer!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Another easy update? Swap your 20 year old collection of random paper clips, binder clips, safety pins, what have you, and just pay a couple bucks for some all-gold supplies. I recently spent three whole dollars on a box of assorted gold binder clips (link <a href="http://www.supplygeeks.com/Products/OIC-Assorted-Size-Binder-Clips__OIC31022.aspx?channel=APLA&gclid=Cj0KEQiAtZWkBRC9ibSfhoKEyLYBEiQA5fDxkVtehzxNgOQJaQqff6BwB-f4d6zXPWEdffHFfNDVNa4aAiY48P8HAQ&kwid=productads-plaid^77870268603-sku^OIC31022-adType^PLA-device^c-adid^51560146083" target="_blank">HERE</a>) and a whopping $1.74 on cute gold paper clips (link <a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/19310645?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=3&adid=22222222227016198200&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=40941370952&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=78878758232&veh=sem" target="_blank">HERE</a>).

<span style="font-size: large;">To celebrate my 2 year anniversary in New York last month, I went shopping in Soho </span><span style="font-size: large;">(naturally)</span><span style="font-size: large;">.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Can I just say, if you are in the NY area, go to the Anthropologie on West Broadway and Broome Street. I would live in that beautiful beautiful store if they would let me. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But I digress... while there, I scored my two favorite trends of the season- felt hats and faux fur vests my friends! I also might be slightly obsessed with the 'luggage brown' color for fall (could that have stemmed from my favorite MK purse?) - it's just the best color to pair with the oodles of ivory tops and blue jeans in my closet. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We all know it's layering season, and a vest is my #1 layering fave. It keeps your essentials warm without hiding the cute top you've got underneath, and (pro tip, listen up) if you have one with a big faux fur collar, you can pull a layering whammy and pull the collar to the outside of your jacket or outerwear, and voila it now looks like you now have a coat with a fur collar as well!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The Coveteur (<a href="http://www.thecoveteur.com/"><span style="color: #999999;">www.thecoveteur.com</span></a>) is my latest daily-web-reading obsession. While fashion-blog <strike>stalking</strike> perusing is probably my #1 internet pastime, it's closely followed by health food reading, DIY, decorating and travel... I like to get a little taste of everything. So when I stumbled across the "EASIEST HEALTHY LIVING SWAPS EVER" article on The Coveteur and thought "this is exactly the type of article I'd like to do for sxsoho!" I realized they already did it so damn well it wasn't worth writing my own. So shout out to The Coveteur for this awesome article, and for <i>ahmazing</i> photography that pairs beets with their corresponding Belle Siegerson flats. Art, people.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I actually love Piet Mondrian paintings. I also love Kate Spade, so this skirt was one of the easier splurge decisions I've ever made. Because I already own an almost indeterminate amount of solid colored blouses in black, white, navy, etc, I'm really liking patterned skirts this fall. It makes a bold statement outfit, while keeping the pattern away from your face (that can often feel too busy), and you can easily rotate solid tops and blouses you probably already own with one funky skirt.</span></div>

My old apple case was getting pretty ratty, and I was so excited to get my new UChic case recently! Cute pattern? Check. Fave accent color? Cheeeck. Good cause? Check. UChic is a brand new company that's helping to fund $1000 scholarships for deserving young women through these awesome back-to-school accessories. You guys know I'm all about buying from new fashion brands that give back, but this seriously raises the bar. This case is called the "Gracie" and was designed by Gracie Schram, a 16-year-old singer/songwriter and a recipient of the scholarship. Cool, right? You can buy it here on their indiegogo page: <span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 19.6000003814697px; margin: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><a href="http://igg.me/at/uchic" rel="nofollow" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: magenta; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;">igg.me/at/uchic</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">.<span style="color: magenta; font-weight: bold;"> </span>I've talked a lot with some lovely ladies at this company recently, and besides having an awesome cause, let me tell you, customer service is not dead!

Thankfully, it's still been warm enough in NYC to go without a coat, but a lightweight blanket scarf is my absolute must-have in early fall. Lightweight so that you won't feel bogged down if you've got it wrapped around your neck, but big enough that you can open it and drape it around your shoulders if the wind really picks up. The one pictured is a Furla scarf that was a gift from Momma G, but <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/collection-xiix-blanket-wrap/3793605?cm_cat=datafeed&cm_ite=collection_xiix_%27blanket%27_wrap:496317&cm_pla=scarves_wraps_ponchos:women:scarves&cm_ven=Google_Product_Ads&mr:referralID=a5afdbba-4f2b-11e4-a1c0-001b2166c2c0&origin=pla" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">Nordstrom</span></a> has a similar one too.

I use it as a lip gloss all year round, but it's especially great now that the air (and my skin) is drying out. Apply it to your lips with your finger (there's the slightest hint of peachy-pink) and then wipe the excess on the back of your hand to moisturize your scary knuckles yo. Two-for-one.</span></div>

As if I didn't spend enough time in the Soho Paper Source store already, I'm now constantly carting around envelopes and stamps and color samples and bothering all their employees as I test out my ideas. Their blush pink envelopes & flat cards are hands-down the prettiest color I've ever seen. My blush pink phase might be getting out of control this season.

<span style="font-size: large;">Oh lovely lovely fall. Long sleeve + skirt weather has got to be my favorite of all time. And my new obsession? Fishtail braids!! Shockingly easy to do, supposed to look messy (aka you can mess up and no one will know) and great for hair that has lots of layers- it's holds them in way better than a normal braid does. I may post a tutorial in case anyone is still nervous to try!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ok, I'm about to divulge a huge shopping secret of mine. Designer consignment. Is. My. Best. Friend. If you live in the NYC/Bklyn area, you must try out Beacon's Closet. It's a vintage + modern consignment shop, but if you're imagining your local salvation army, you are very far off the mark. The great thing about places like Beacon's is they are super picky about what they carry (read: great for shopping, not great for selling... What do you <i>mean</i> you won't take my $300 J. Crew dress just because it's more than 2 years old? Fools.) In order for them to carry a piece in the store, it has to be (a) vintage or (b) a top name brand from within the past 3 (I think) seasons, plus whatever other arbitrary rules they have that basically boil down to whether they like it or not.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The key to places like Beacon's is to go a lot. <strike>Luckily </strike>unluckily for me, there is one <i>literally</i> one block from my house (shopaholics everywhere are gasping in pleasure/pain at this thought). It can be totally hit or miss, but since their inventory turns over constantly, you'll probably never see the same things twice. Like this Tory Burch tunic, I have scored MAJOR deals there (especially on shoes and dresses) - and it allows me to buy more funky, adventurous designer pieces that I wouldn't normally be willing to spend so much on. Would I pay $300 for a designer blouse covered in so many hand-stitched sequins that it's practically unwashable? No. Would I pay $30 for it? You betcha. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So do some googling and ask around to find the top consignment shops in your area. (If you happen to live in the DC area, <i>Mustard Seed</i> in Bethesda is another fave, and was my regular haunt in high school and college.)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Ok, this one's not the most exciting DIY project in the universe, but it is SO easy and it makes your room look much more put together. Like, a "why yes the curated gallery wall complements the drapes so nicely" bedroom vs. a "yeah most of this is my furniture that survived my college dorm" bedroom.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I myself recently moved into a new bedroom in my crazy brownstone of a house. So naturally, I immediately painted it pink and started buying furniture on craigslist to refinish. But while I had all my electrical outlets removed for the wall-painting-extravaganza anyway, it felt like the perfect time to spruce them up.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">EXHIBIT A:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If your landlord is as old and crochety as mine is, you probably also have this issue. Or if you're not OCD about decorating, maybe you just don't consider this an issue. To each their own.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">WHAT YOU NEED</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Screwdriver<br />Glossy white spray paint</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>(go for the 2-in-1 paint and primer, you'll never regret it and never have to prime again!)</i></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">WHAT YOU DO</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Use the screwdriver to unscrew all your outlet covers and light switch covers from the wall. Wipe them down to remove any dirt or dust, otherwise your paint won't stick as well. Lay some newspaper down outside (or in a well-ventilated area, duh) and place your outlets face up on top of it. Spray a thin coat of white paint over the top, being sure to get the edges as well, and let sit for 30 mins. Spray a second coat and wait for an hour to dry completely (or however long is recommended on the spray paint bottle).</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To paint the screws from the outlet covers, especially important if yours were a weird dirty tan color like mine, or just to make sure they match the color you've now painted your outlet covers, punch them partway through the back of a paper plate and lay that down on your newpaper before spraying with the two-coat method. This will keep them upright and prevent them from rolling away never to be found again</span>.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Take the opportunity to wipe down your uncovered outlets. They're probably pretty grimy and you probably won't ever bother to do this otherwise. Then screw your outlet covers back on once dried and voila! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Easy peasy update.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you're looking for a flashier update to your outlets covers, paint them a funky neon color, modge podge some decorative paper or fabric onto them or cover them with washi tape designs. Check out other cool ideas on Pinterest <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/explore/outlet-covers/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">HERE</span></a>.

<span style="font-size: large;">Raise your hand if you're suddenly trying to overhaul your entire closet to put together suitable work outfits for fall? That can't be just me. I've been on the hunt for dark colored casual-but-not-mini skirts to wear with booties or opaque black tights this fall, and I think I hit the jackpot when I happened to start perusing Forever 21's website. We're talking dirt. cheap. It's going to be pencil skirts for days yo. Which brings me to my weirdly named, but mathematically appropriate, "19, 20, 21" post today:</span></div>

For every purchase, Studio 15 donates money to aid women in third world countries starting their own businesses. And get a load of this dress! I was so excited when their Creative Director Jia asked me to model it on the blog.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Since shift dresses don't cinch at the waist, I like to draw attention to two other areas when styling them: (1) my neck and (2) my legs! It's a great opportunity to go bold with the biggest statement necklace you've got. As for shoes, I always always try to wear heels with my shift dresses, even if that means my favorite comfy wedges. Since shift dresses aren't skin tight, you can generally get away with wearing them shorter than most other dresses in your closet, and when paired with heels your legs look skyscraper long! Cheers to that.</span></div>
