weekend wear

When: Sunday, February 6th, 2011

Where: Out and About

What: Coatigan (Topshop), turtleneck (Uniqlo), corduroys (Uniqlo), ankle boots (Vince Camuto)

With our recent cold snap, I’m soooo glad I included this jacket in my 30 for 30 round-up.  It’s pretty much like wearing a big cozy blanket all day long… but without looking like a crazy person… or maybe just a really stylish crazy person.

In other news, I’m entering Day 3 of my fruit & veggie detox, and I’m feeling pretty good.  I had a major headache the first day, but that went away after a good night’s sleep.  Oh, and if you follow me on twitter, you know that I’ve gone to the gym before work TWICE this week already!  I’m pretty much a zombie before 10am, so this is a major feat for me.  I’ve also been trying to go to bed by 10:30pm each evening, and it’s proving to be a lot harder than I thought it would be.  What can I say, I’m a night owl!

Anyhoo, it’s about time for this old bird to do a few chores and get ready for bed.  Ta-ta for now!

When: Saturday, February 5th, 2011

Where: Burgers @ Ace Hotel

What: Sweater dress (Gap), tights (???), shoes (Vince Camuto via Loehmann’s), necklace (H&M), clutch (Forever 21)

Wow! I’ve started and restarted this blog post about 3 times now. Don’t you just hate it when the words just refuse to flow? In my defense, I’m still adjusting after just about finishing up Day 1 of a 7-day fruit and vegetable detox program…

Ok, ok, I’ll admit that I’m sneaking in a little bit of brown rice because mama gets really cranky when she doesn’t get enough carbs in her diet. Yeah… I was tons of fun to be around during that whole Atkins craze a few years back.

In any case, after a few weeks of stress eating that culminated in this weekend’s gorge on burgers, fries, pizza, spiked milkshakes (naughty and delicious) and pie (apple and pecan, in case you were wondering) I was feeling kinda gross and lethargic. So, I’m getting back into a healthy state of mind. In addition to the detox, this will include more home-cooked meals, an earlier bed time, and regular workouts (especially yoga, which I miss dearly). Ahhh… I feel happier and less stressed already!

P.S.
