As a self proclaimed scarf lover, I was really excited to be a part of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Scarf project from Scarves.net. The wonderful Kelsey sent me this scarf last week and as a part of the project I'm passing it on to another fashionable blogger, Linley.

When I opened the package, I felt like I was getting a glimpse into the lives of the girls who styled the scarf before me. Each blogger has added an emblishment to the scarf and an interesting fact about where the scarf has traveled to {unfortunately for me, the most interesting place the scarf visited was the dentist...whomp whomp}. Can't wait to see how Linley styles the scarf next!

When I started this blog, I never thought I would participate in cool opportunities or work with such great companies! Today is one of those opportunities and I'm really excited to share the details with you. A few weeks back, I was contacted by OnlineShoes.com to be a part of their Shoe Styling Competition. As a part of the competition, I received these adorable Rockport shoes for women to style and another pair to giveaway!

As you can probably tell from the contest named, the competition is to style an an outfit around this cute pair of cream and yellow shoes. On this particular day, I was going straight from work to the airport {remember that California trip?} so I wanted a travel friendly outfit that was work appropriate and comfortable, but still fun and easy going. I immediately went with my favorite Anthropologie tunic and started from there. I added a pair of ponte leggings for comfort and my trusty gray cardigan to ward off any cooler temps while traveling. Lastly, I grabbed my trusty Ray-Ban avaitors which I figured would be perfect for sunny California.


Now on to the giveaway!
As a part of the contest, OnlineShoes.com is giving away a pair these shoes {color of your choice} to 1 lucky reader.

Entries are simple
1. Head over here to check out the styling contest and vote for your favorite look!
{when you vote you also get $20 off a pair of Rockports}
2. Report back here and leave me a comment letting me know you voted.

Entries are open for a week. Stay tuned for a winner!

Well look what I found - colored pants! After ranting a bit about the lack of colored pants for work/my shape I stumbled upon these lovelies at Ann Taylor. Maybe I should start writing blog posts about all the spring essentials I can't seem to find more often. But back to the pants. They're work appropriate, not made of fabric that resembles toilet paper, and are Kentucky blue {go Wildcats!}.

That's a win/win/win if you ask me!

Home sweet, home!

Although I've been home a few days, it's nice to finally get back into the swing of things. Hit snooze a couple times, destroy my room while trying to figure out what to wear for the day {solution: new favorite sweater} make a quick stop at the park before heading to work - I'm back to my old ways!


Also, thanks for all the words of encouragement for my final exams! I'm glad to report I survived. Now my my #2 mechanical pencils? I can't say the same for them.

While I Was Out


Collage

...traveled to the west coast and back
...went from private plane to MegaBus
...drank lots of wine and had too many desserts
...there was also lots of green beer
...speaking of green, I saw a river go from a nasty puke green to awesome neon green - it was cool
...witnessed a Duke loss and Kentucky & Cincinnati victories - it was amazing
...took a day off to stroll around my neighborhood and recuperate


Back to normal programming tomorrow!

Imagine a frizzy, slightly frazzled, big-eyed gal behind those suitcases and you would have me.
Today I'm in California.
Tomorrow, I'll be taking my final exams.
And then on Friday, I'll headed to Chicago!

I've been wearing pants a lot lately. And while I've been searching for a few colored pants to add to my closet, I just haven't been able to find ones that are...

A. Appropriate for work
B. Flattering

So black pants it is. As much as I am getting a bit tired of wearing them, I'm sure you're probably just as tired of seeing them. But being that I'm in a pants kind of mood, I suppose I'll have to stick to what I've got.

So that sweater I mentioned I've been wearing everyday for the past few days? Well this is it. It's colorful and comfortable {two of my favorite things}! What's not to love? If an outfit can get me through a 14 hour work/school day then it's a winner in my book. Speaking of 14 hour days, I thought this sweater would be perfect to wear while I'm in Chicago next week for St. Patrick's Day.


Before you start thinking I'll be standing out in burnt orange on St. Patrick's day - luckily this sweater also comes in green!

Day{s} Tripper

I've been a little light on outfit posts lately. Between battling a bit of a cold, the emiment doom of final exams and an upcoming business trip - slepching my tripod hasn't been the highest on my priority list {that would be watching The Voice}. But I assure you I am, in fact, wearing clothes.

Whether it's been the same LOFT sweater for the last 3 days, I'll never tell.

But speaking of that work business trip, I've been saving a few recent purchases for the trip. Here's a look at the few of the dresses I picked up recently.
