When: Friday, May 14th

Where: An Off-Broadway show + Ethiopian food

What: Dress ($40 Zac Posen for Target), belt (H&M), ankle boots ($40 Vince Camuto via Century21)

Ever since I braved the Zac Posen for Target Party I couldn’t wait to unleash this dress.  I usually consider myself more of a lioness, but I thought this pink tiger print was way too cute to pass up.  I originally styled it with the belt that came with it (in the same print) and a pair of black patent pumps.  But then I decided to edge it up a bit with black ankle boots and black belt.  And boy did my feet thank me later after we walked 4 avenues to get to the theater!

The play we saw, Killing Women, was a comedy about female assasins trying to climb the “corporate” ladder and the perils they face.  Some of the acting was a bit off (but got better in the second act), but overall I thought it was pretty hilarious.  I’d recommend checking it out, especially if you can score discount tix.

Shopping Hiatus Update: 14 Down… 17 To Go

It’s payday y’all!

Now usually that would mean a new dress or a pair of shoes to reward myself for making it through another two weeks on the job.  Unfortunately, my self-imposed 1- month shopping hiatus has put the kibosh! on that plan. 

Man, this is tougher than I thought it was going to be!

In order to curb my shopping appetite, I’ve been staying away from sites like RueLaLa, HauteLook, Gilt Groupe, and of course… eBay!  I’ve also restricted my window-shopping to the ridiculously expensive like Bottega Veneta, Prada, Chanel, etc.  The only trouble with that approach is that it’s kinda hard to get excited over a Forever21 sundress or a pair of shades from H&M once you’ve been exposed to the real deal.  Know what I’m sayin’?

In any case, if I were shopping, and if I did have a whole lotta cash to burn… I would totally get this outfit:

Polyvore Outfit

Dress (Alice+Olivia), Shoes (Karen Millen), Clutch (Marc by Marc Jacobs)

It’s so cute, it hurts!  No… Seriously… It really freakin’ hurts, lol!

When: Sunday, May 2nd

Where: Window-shopping in Soho + dinner at Balthazar

What: Dress ($20 H&M), sandals ($20 Michael Kors via eBay), glasses ($40 Dolce & Gabana via Loehmann’s)

Yeah, so I’m posting this outfit way late.  The funny thing is, I love this dress and was so excited when it finally got warm enough to wear it.  So excited in fact, that I forgot to post it!

Anyway, it was a scorching 87 degrees that day.  But I felt so breezy and comfortable in this dress.  I got soooo many compliments that day that I really felt like a million bucks.

Fast-forward a week and a half later and the temperature has barely reached 60 the last few days.  Bummer… I WANT MY SPRING BACK!

P.S.

I went ahead and numbered this post because I can be pretty forgetful at times, and I’m sure I’ll repeat this mistake again.  Apologies in advance.
