Day 26 & 27- Comfy Chic

What I'm wearing: Forever 21 slouchy tee, Gap Always Skinny jeans, J.Crew flats, Vintage earrings, Forever 21 necklace, Forever 21 ring

I can't believe how soon Christmas is! My goal was to be done with the 30 for 30 by then, so I took some pictures of outfits I wore but never had a chance to photograph. I wore this earlier in the quarter for a study day when I wanted to be comfortable but stylish. I'm kind of in love with this slouchy top; it was one of my purchases from the huge Forever 21 in Times Square over the summer. It's baggy, yet shows the perfect amount of collarbone to look feminine. Jazz it up with some silver accessories, and you have a low-key, cute study outfit.

What I'm wearing: Gap tee, Gifted scarf, Gap Always Skinny jeans, J.Crew flats, Vintage earrings, Tiffany's bracelet (gifted)

I wore this outfit yesterday for just hanging around the house. I've been steadily getting ready for the holidays, wrapping presents and listening to the NSYNC Holiday Pandora station (it's the best!). This outfit was perfect for a day around the house, getting things finished. I'm kind of sad Christmas is so soon, because that means I'm running out of time to watch silly Christmas movies and listen to holiday music. It's always a little bit of a bummer when Christmas is over. Luckily, I still have three days left to use up my holiday cheer, which will include making Rice Krispie houses with the boyfriend tonight and forcing him to watch Christmas movies with me. How are you planning to use up the rest of your holiday spirit?

Day 26- Internship Inspiration

This week is my last in Cincinnati before moving back to school, and I feel like I have so much to do! I have lots of little projects to finish up (like a DIY bow cardigan thats only half-way done) as well as packing. Thankfully, I'm feeling much better today so hopefully I can get a lot accomplished. Currently I'm sorting through piles of dvds, magazines, and books, trying to decide what to take with me. Speaking of books, has anyone bought/read Erica Domesek's book based off her popular blog P.S.- I Made This? I've been experiencing DIY fever lately, so I thought this book might make the perfect addition to my collection of fashion-y books. It got good reviews on Amazon, so I'm definitely considering making the purchase.

What I'm wearing: Love 21 ruffle blouse, Ann Taylor Loft shorts, J.Crew belt (sale), Banana Republic outlet sandals, Self-made earrings

This top had yet to be worn in my 30 for 30 challenge, so today I was determined to find a way to make it work. I wasn't doing anything too fancy, so I decided to dress it down with shorts. This outfit reminds me a lot of the trend/inspiration research I was working on at the end of my internship. It was research for a "romantic" collection which involved light pastels, nude tones, and girly embellishments like ruffles. I can't wait until the collections I helped research for start popping up in department stores and catalogs. It won't be until 2011, but it will still be really exciting and gratifying to see something I was a part end up in stores. On a completely seperate note, who is else is planning on tuning in to CBS tonight to watch the making of Fashion's Night Out? I really wish I had still been in NYC for the big night, but I guess watching a documentary of it will have to do.
