Don’t you love this girl’s bright, cheery merigold-colored scarf? And, check out the scarf in the last image. The photograph was shot for Martha Stewart’s Blueprint magazine, where I used to work before it closed (so sad). The scarf is mine actually, and was thrown in for fun. I loved it then and it still continues to be my go-to accessory. I think what I love the most about it is it’s rich, bold color that somehow goes with everything. What do you think about the color marigold, or yellow for that matter? And, need I point out the touch of nerd chic in the top two photos? I didn’t think so… SPxx
Come see!

I just started blogging for this new fashion site called Budget Fashion Report and two of my posts went live today! Check out my post about Foley + Corinna here, and my post about stylish steals here! On another note, isn’t this photo fantastic. I keep going back to it over and over again. I am so intrigued by her, and just adore her outfit. The Sartorialist does it again!
Thanks again for reading, my lovelies. You guys are the best! SPxx
Welcome weekend!
I am so unbelievably happy it is Friday. Maybe by the time next Monday rolls around, I will start to fall back into my normal routine. I always find it so tough to come back and regulate after having a lovely two weeks off. Anyway, here are some of my favorite pictures from around the web today. Enjoy your Saturday and Sunday sweets! (And, if you are in New York, be prepared…it is supposed to snow tomorrow!)

A girl can dream…
As I walked out of the subway this morning little snow flurries landed on my face and hair, and as I hurried into work, hands slightly chapped, I thought, “I can’t even remember what New York felt like when it was warm!” New York is funny that way. The different climates are so dramatic: they’ll throw you head first into a heatwave or an ice storm without a second thought. So, inevitably, whether it is 13 degrees with wind chill or 92 degrees with humidity, each time the weather changes, I become vacant of any memories of what it felt like before. That was the case today. So, I decided to focus on the upcoming warmer seasons; I did a little perusing on J.Crew and began creating an outfit around my very favorite shirt: the Solid Kya Cami. Isn’t it so pretty? Love the ruffles. Anyway, as much as I love J. Crew, it tends to be a little out of my price range at times, and coupled with the fact that it is going to snow on Saturday, I doubt I will be donning these particular pieces for quite some time. But, like I said—a girl can dream.

My love, My Mackage
OMG.
So, it’s nearing the end of the day and I felt like adding this little piece of eye candy for your viewing pleasure. I am pretty much obsessed with Mackage and have been ever since I first got my very own gorgeous cream coat in the winter of 2004. I have yet to buy another but endlessly peruse ebay and online stores looking for any that might be on sale. Today, I went to the their website and saw the Mackage Doddy jacket. Such a little beauty. It may not be made of wool and leather, but it sure is cute and the price tag is a little easier to digest. Don’t you just love the collar and puffed sleeves? And look at that side zipper detailing? I love me some zipper detailing…
Enjoy, my friends! SPxx

Work it.
Today is dreary, rainy and wet, plus it is Wednesday, Hump Day, which can sometimes feel sort of painful. Meaning that, it is the middle of the week, so you know you have made it half way, but then the realization sets in that you still have two more days left until the glorious weekend. Not always a pleasant thought. But, I find that if you are having a hard time pulling yourself out from under the covers when the elements look treacherous, try dressing up in your most favorite or inspiring outfit and it might give you the jumpstart you need, instead of crawling back in for another 10 minute (or in my case today, 30 min!) snooze session. With that said, because this rainy, cold day has made me slightly blue, I decided to perk myself up along with anyone else who is down, with this cute “first week back to work” outfit. Just looking at it makes me want to run home and change into a more spiffier outfit!
I found everything minus the tights and jewelry—which can be switched up with your own accessories—on this awesome shopping website called Pronto.com, where you can find great finds at a better price! Click below!
