With Labor Day just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about transitioning to fall clothing (yay!) and starting to put the summer clothes back in the closet until next year. One of my favorite pieces of clothing for the cooler months is my J.Crew leather jacket so it should come as no surprise that it's the first thing I am pulling out this year. It is such a great staple for transitioning as it is great for layering and warmth during those cooler nights. A leather jacket and a light scarf scream fall to me and I can't wait to keep wearing this combo as we head into September and October. 

Linking up with Tara today.

Black and Gold

It is no secret that I love gold. The combo of gold and black is one that I don't typically talk about but seriously adore. It is so classy and can be worn in such a variety of ways. I wanted an easy way to dress up these mint jeans last week for a day in the office and I figured black and gold was a perfect way to do so. The colors really pop against the white and mint and truly dress up a this simple spring outfit.

End of 2012

Well, today marks the last day of 2012. What a year it has been! 

I want to say thank you to everyone who reads my blog. I look forward to many more posts in 2013. 

Stay safe this evening and Happy New Year!

A Few Firsts

Yesterday was my first day back at work after Hurricane Sandy. After spending the past few days lounging around the house in sweats, it was hard to get ready for work in the office. Waking up early and picking out an outfit was a struggle, but luckily I had two new things to make my routine easier: a new pair of shoes and a new hair style. 

This was my first time trying (and somewhat succeeding!) with a curling wand. I have been looking for fun new ways to style my hair and decided to try this out. It was much easier and faster than expected and I am excited to keep trying out new ideas.

Have you tried any new hair styles lately? Where do you find them? I'd love to hear your suggestions!
