Zebra Skirt Day to Night

Open Toe Shoes Time

I am so happy that it's finally warm enough for open toe shoes!  I got a manicure and pedicure on Saturday and then happily pulled out these sandals I found at Marshall's last year.  I love the laser cutting and the neutral color.  I also really like the mule shape, which is a big trend this season.  I definitely will be wearing these a lot in the coming months!

White Blazer

I wore this white H&M blazer with boyfriend jeans and pumps for dinner in Barcelona.  They eat dinner later there than we are used to, generally around 9pm or 10pm.  We ate outside at a plaza off of Las Ramblas, which is one of the most famous attractions in Barcelona.  It's a long street with lots of live entertainment, shopping, and dining.  There was a cool breeze, so I threw on my leopard scarf for some extra warmth and my little pink bag for another color.

Rainy Saturday Dinner Date

It was very rainy this weekend, which made for a lot of relaxing indoors.  It was nice to chill a bit since we're going to be pretty busy in the next few weeks with my half-marathon next weekend and then our trip to Europe soon afterwards.  I didn't even mind the rain because it was close to 50 degrees all weekend!  Way better than snow!  I wore this striped dress with leggings and waterproof boots to dinner last night at Rex 1516.  It was a really good meal and a cool relaxed vibe; we'll definitely visit there again!

Puffer Vest Casual Look for the Movies

Casual look for the movies on Friday night.  It was pretty warm this weekend so I could get away with just a puffer vest and ankle boots.  Note the huge bag - perfect for stuffing some goodies from a Wawa run on our way there!

Blue Coat and Silver Heels Outfit

I wore this outfit for dinner with friends last night.  I decided that I wanted to wear my silver pumps and then built the rest of the outfit from there.  I debated wearing my leather leggings, but ultimately liked black jeans better with the sweater.  It is finally warming up a little bit in Philly! I am happy to be wearing a winter coat other than my super warm North Face.  I am also glad because I love running outside so much more than the treadmill, especially for my long Saturday runs!

Coat:  Guess (same in black, similar)
Sweater:  Ann Taylor (similar, similar, ivory cowl neck)

New Yellow Birthday Bag

 

So excited about my new Botkier bag!  It was an early birthday present to myself during the Gilt sale.  I love the yellow color and it is a really nice leather.  I also love that I can use it as a shoulder bag or as a clutch.  I definitely think I will get a lot of use out of it!  I paired it with my crop coral sweater, faux leather skirt, patterned tights, and ankle boots.  It was a fun outfit for another dinner out for restaurant week.

New Year's Eve Outfit

Here's an outfit I think would be fun for New Year's Eve or another night out!  It's a shimmery blouse but sequins would work too!  I paired it with a skater skirt with faux-leather accents, opaque tights, and black booties to create a long leg line.  I wore my favorite mini cross-body purse.  It adds a nice pop of color and holds everything you need and you can keep your hands free!  I also had a glamorous make-up look courtesy of my sister Anne!  We went with neutrals for my eyes and bold lips!  Check out the next post for more information and to enter our giveaway for the chance to win a $50 gift certificate!
