Blazer

Yesterday I was doing my typical Marshall's walk through to see if anything seemed interesting.... THEN I FOUND THIS GEM!

Lauren by Ralph Lauren Crested Blazer Black (retail $220)

Well since playing full retail is against my religion, you will be happy to know at Marshall's they were priced $59.99  

They had both the black and the navy styles.

Not a black and white type of girl all the time

So I'm anti-plain but anti-neon... There has to be a middle ground.

For business clothes wardrobe that is blue and gray. I seriously have an addiction to these colors!!!




Sporting my Ralph Lauren blue button down and my Max Studio gray and white skirt. Finished by my gray and black Mary Jane pumps.

Drawing the Line Neon

When I think of summer, its beach, sun, and fun! Of course all of us girls think about clothes, new styles, and bathing suits. I have seen NEON everything pop up lately for the spring breakers and summer lovers. Occasionally I  have dabbled in the neon world for such things as socials or spring break or music festivals... BUT WHERE DO WE DRAW THE LINE??!!  I'm afraid my friends we have entered the neon-never-ending-hole of Lisa Frank world, and its not pretty.



I must admit there are a few things on the good list for neon. Neon does may you look tan and gives off the vibe that you like to party (or just came from an 80s party gone bad).


Things on the good list...

Neon bathing suits - they make you look tan...and thats about it

OPI neon nail polish - they brighten up your toes and nails for a fun look

Nike Womens Running Shoe - Because you need to workout and why not have fun

South Beach - nothing is wrong with a little neon party in your life :) 

Among other things there is a bad list...
1. Spring Break Tees are cool while you are ON spring break, after that you donate them so the less fortunate can relive your embarrassments.
2. Neon tanks and shirts are ALRIGHT if you are going to the gym or out for the day or beach but DO NOT wear them to an upscale club/bar and wonder why the bouncer will ask for two forms of ID.
3. neon flip flops, sure for the beach its great, but thats it...


THINGS THAT HAVE LEAPED (and i mean LEAPPPP) OVER THE LISA FRANK LINE

WTF - did you get these made after your favorite neon stickers? no one will take you serious... 

Neon leopard print.. hmmm isn't that her signature???

The worst part about this, is I see hipster kids in miami where this on a daily basis.....

 Nothing is okay with hot neon pink satin bows and a bathing suit..... it kinda looks like her hair accessories but for a different area of hair! what the heck?!?!? people buy this?

TOMS???????? LISA IS THAT YOU???? BRIGHT GLITTERY NEON HIPSTER (JAIL LOOKING) MOCCASINS..... did I die or did Lisa's design team make these... I do not understand all the rage for these Toms hipster shoes. they look like the jail moccasins convicts get.

Not to mention glitter is her trademark. 

Now the REAL Lisa Frank can re-establish herself from all these impostors..

 

Serious Goddess Syndrome

For the brief moments in my life when I desire to have a huge luxury home on the water in Fort Lauderdale... wait, I think I want this ALL the time. Anyways I have always LOVED greatly landscaped and designed backyards on the water. That goes along with a great pool, and outdoor furniture.

I am in lust with the South Beach look of the white cushion chaise lounge chairs. When looking at it it just makes you think you can lie back read your Skinny Bitch book and enjoy a daiquiri while pretending it has 0 calories. (but that doesn't matter, calories do not count on vacation... its this weird phenomenon)

Corsica Single Chaise - Pottery Barn $1099

I think this just screams south florida lifestyle! minus the foliage in the background and replace that with enormous stucco houses crammed together with massive yachts and cheesy landscaping :)

Spring/Summer Footwear

ITSSSS here!

its FULL fledge springtime and soon to be summer time!! And my favorite part about that is footwear! Bust out those tan, white and neutral shoes! from wedges to strappy sandals :)

My favorite wedge...... Wooden Wedge Sandal BCBG $275

Best summer slingback..... Jessica Simpson - Astor Wedge $79

 Summer pump... Christian Louboutin $795

Sexiest sandal heel - Colin Stuart Braided Platform Sandal $78

hippie sandal - Nicole Peace $73

Wicked

Last weekend we went to see Wicked...






Oh my god it was amazing!!!!

It was the typical cynical story of the prefect bubbly blonde Glinda vs. The brunette witty different Elphaba....

I must say during the play Glinda single handledly won my heart when she had a wall of sparkly shoes but everytime she saw it she bowed down to it. ;)

Unfortunately in real life Elphaba (jackie burns) takes the cake!!! And this is unusual for me to admit a brunette wins...






Actress - Jackie burns..

Some pictures from my viewing in fort lauderdale...

A question to ponder?

Sorry for my lack of word vomit on my blog lately. It's a mix of my steadfast attempts to get skinny and pass law school. Forgive me master.


I was thinking of a recent law firm recruiting event I attended...

REAL LIFE IS EXACTLY LIKE SORORITY RECRUITMENT...

So to get any job or network you will have to be able to make conversation. It's just a fact of life. If you cannot carry a convo you are out! Just as a PNM would be disinterested.




A good convo example, kinda.


Your mannerisms are KEY!!!! So if you look uninterested all of a sudden who ever you are talking to will become uninterested. You should always smile and be engaged in the words coming out of the other persons mouth. This actually is the hard part cause sometimes listening to employers talk about the filing system they use at work is way worse then having to explain to a PNM the breakdown of her dues. Also if you are lucky enough to be a function with food, it gets tricky. So you have to balance eating politely but knowing when not to pick up your fork. Same as the water cup in recruitment. Some girls grasp on to that for dear life, you have to be able to relax and be smooth ;)




Hmm bad - looking bored




Weird





Do not eat with your mouth open


Dress to impress, my favorite topic! Business formal is CLEARLY not as fun as matching floral print for recruitment. But you still need to look sharp. It's important to be put together, if your clothes are not tailored you may reflect a look of not caring.





Perfect of course ;)


The problem is one of adjustment. Yes adjustment and no not your chiro. If your buttons like to pop open, shirts rise, skirts turn around, sleeves scrunch up then FIX it but not obviously. The worst is to keep tugging on your clothes while trying to carry a convo. Recruitment you luckily have this miracle worker called spanx, those babies do not let anything move that's for sure.




Fix yourself




Finally judgment. And not meaning this is any negative or positive way. When you talk to employer you are judging them as well. Thinking to yourself if the office has enough good looking employees, you can be entertained by their personalities, you like what they do at Least a little bit, what is your reputation if you work there and then you judge yourself thinking if you are qualified to be given an offer.




Go ahead judge me I dare you!!!

OMG it's the exact same for recruitment. Think about it.

House Guest

Current house guest.... Alien pup!









What a cutie!!! Not sure exactly what kind of dog and just hoping in a few months she doesn't grow to a full sized circus animal...

(admit it... You know she is cute)

Professional style

My recent Fashion endeavor has been business style clothing. My entire life my day wardrobe has had it's own style.

From pre k to high uniforms were about all I spent money on to wear to school EVERYDAY for about 15 years of my life

Then in college day time clothes were frat tees and sorority shirts. It's still a mystery to me why I actually picked out what shirt to wear in the morning.

Now in law school is a melting pot of random shirts and shorts, there is still this type of unspoken dress code to look cute but semi professional?

Then not for long it will be into the working world of an attorney which will consume my life of business suits and well, the color black. (not like my wardrobe isn't already this).

So my quest has been to find reasonably priced day to day business clothes AND at the same time look SEXY in my business clothes but still office appropriate ;) The next step of course is to start looking!

There are tons of looks that can put together the best office sheek look.

If you already are tall with long legs the best look seems to be tailored dress pants with the tucked in blouse or dress shirt. A skinny belt matching the closed toed heels always finish off the look for me.

My personal favorite is the high skirt with a silky loose blouse tucked in, this can be paired with a cardigan or a blazer depending on the occasion.

The blazer. Those words can mean a lot of things. First you have the traditional suit blazer commonly seen on overly business women and 80's dress suits for the go getters. Second the new age working blazer the doesn't close andis more tailored to your shoulders and arms, the lighter the blazer the more commonly it can be dressed down at work. Then you have the I'm attempting to be fashion forward OR an actually hot blazer paired with a great night outfit.
Don't get me wrong I think blazers are ideal for more conservative events or people, but you will never catch me at LIV rocking a blazer over my mini dress...

My favorite catch so far of all this business shopping: BCBG blazer.

Valentines day

I still don't understand the big deal about this day!

John made star wars pancakes which actually is nothing unusual





And this should be called "Diet Cheat Day" because just for the Hell of it I bought me and my roommates cupcakes







So I don't think we celebrate love is more like celebrating being a fatass!!!!! And who is not in favor of that????? ... And if you say you are not, STOP LYING!!!
