Snowday Chic and Life Lately

Head to Toe: Blouse, Loft // Sweater, Loft (thrifted) // Jeans, Forever 21 // Boots, Frye.

I'm a little late posting this outfit from the other week during our first pseudo-snowstorm. The white stuff had me feeling sparkly so I threw on a bedazzled cardi and forwent jewelry so as not to look like a complete snow-globe. On another note, I got thinking that I haven't been sharing many details about my life these days (besides the fact that I take selfies on sub-freezing mornings to share my sartorial pursuits with you, my dear readers). So I figured I'd recap some Insta-highlights of late to let you know what I've been up to.

Fantasy days of having a "mild winter" are over. I managed to get my butt to the train amidst a fleeting snowstorm the other week. It swept in and out between 8 and 10, staying just long enough to fudge up everyone's commute. #ConnecticutProblems.

I had post-work dinner and drinks with my friend Becca last Friday to celebrate her cool new apartment (two words: exposed brick—I'm jealous). She prepped this pretty spread.

Last weekend, I went to NYC with my roomie Lei, and we visited a few speakeasy holdouts from prohibition days. (That is most certainly coffee and tea in our cups.)

This past Friday, I went to New Haven with girlfriends who also happen to be SCSU college buddies. I lived in New Haven for three years as an undergrad and never tried landmark Loui's Lunch (famous for a medium rare burger with cheese and onions on toast). My honest review? Damn good, but ketchup would've made it great—they'll kick out anyone who inquires, so I sucked it up.

That brings me to today! It's a chilly, rainy Sunday so I am cuddling inside with Monti. I ran out and grabbed a paper before making breakfast (check out those omelette skills). I'll be 25 next week, and I decided it was about time I started paying attention to what's going on in the world.
