TGIF eve!

All of this Corona business is terrifying.  

'Stay calm, don't get crazy!'

'This is only the beginning!'

'The Flu has already killed far more people this season!'

'The fatality rate of the Flu is .05-.1%, where The Corona Virus is 3.6% and climbing'

'The media is blowing it out of proportion!'

'We aren't taking this seriously enough!'

Guys, my head is spinning! 

Between the current political climate, the corona virus and the Bachelor finale, I am barely hanging on.  I don't even watch the Bachelor, but I read all the articles (insert eye roll emoji), so I was invested. 

Anyway, I feel like today's post may be the last of any cool weather looks. 

Don't quote me on that, but it already feels like Spring and is anyone buying anything for cool weather that isn't on sale at this point?

Speaking of which this Rebecca Minkoff tangerine sweater IS in fact ON SALE!

Well, Happy March! 

I have been a little M.I.A. with a crazy schedule. 

Nolan has had basketball playoffs, track meets and a ton of Bar Mitzvahs. I have been going to the gym every day attempting to get my toosh back into shape with the warmer months steadily approaching all while fighting off a cough and cold leaving me with little time for much of anything else. 

This past weekend one of my favorite things occurred, we pushed the clocks forward for daylight savings. While so many people complain about the hour we 'lose', I think  it should be a national holiday. Granted trying to wake Nolan for school in the dark has been challenging, but everything is worth the extra sunlight at the end of the day!

Next Tuesday is St. Patrick's Day, one of my favorite days of the year.
I have loved St. Patrick's day since I was in elementary school and my very Irish teacher, Ms. O'Brien would decorate the classroom with leprechaun foot prints, green glitter and treats for all her students. As I have gotten older the celebrations are not more, or less fun, just different.  Having graduated from wearing kiss me I'm Irish tees and green plastic beads, I now usually go with a more subtle green themed look.

So regardless if you are heading out to drink green beer at your neighborhood bar, attending a shamrock ball, or just feeling a little festive peek at some green inspo below.

Happy Thursday!
Tomorrow is Valentines Day, which really means we are half way through February!
I am not going to complain about winter, because it has been so mild but I am counting the days until March.  Although March is still very much winter in the Northeast, there is definitely more day light at the end of the tunnel.

Recently, when hanging out with friends we keep saying 'oh when the weather gets nice we should do this... and that... and the other thing', so I have decide I am going to make a Spring/Summer bucket list and try to check things off throughout the season.  Stay tuned.

On to this look.
I have never met a leopard print I didn't like, I am drawn to it.
If I see a leopard top, heels, accessory ,etc, I am all over it. 

I truly believe I have enough in my wardrobe, but when I saw this I of course was instantly attracted.
It is soft, cozy and it has been on repeat this entire winter.

Still debating about what to wear, but this Express cutout jumpsuit is definite;ey in the running!

How do you celebrate Valentines?

Happy Friday Eve!

Tomorrow is the last day of January and I could not be happier!

On to February, which means Valentines Day!
I am a minimalist when it comes to Valentines Day, not a huge celebration. I believe in telling and showing the people you love, that you love them throughout the year.

Cards, candy and a festive look is how I like to spend my day.
I loved this adorable candy conversation hearts sweatshirt when I saw it. The pastel colors and monogrammed heart are just too cute!
