It’s been another go-go week for me with no signs of slowing down. Last week it was Providence and Boston and now I’m on a train to DC. I shot this in my 2 day stint in New York.  I’m going through a major neutral phase, I even took my forever bold lip down a few notches and have been wearing the new limited edition Gucci Lip Luxurious Moisture Rich Lipstick in shade Lilac, that’s part of the spring/summer collection. I haven’t found my perfect nude quite yet and this shade satisfies that itch. It’s very natural on and the formula is really light and moisturizing with a subtle pop of purple.

I’ve also been wearing my Gigi New York Chelsea Crossbody from last fashion week more now that it’s summer. It’s that perfect size and I’m a sucker for anything with my initials and my new Timex Fairfield Weekender watch in Rose Gold. It’s actually unisex and one of my favorites on both James and me (we share it). It’s a clean design and just perfect — they seem to be sold out of this particular strap — they have more of the colorful ones on their site, but hopefully they are back in stock soon! I’m also not a big fringe person but fell for this faux suede top from Forever 21. I think I’m channeling my inner Pocahontas –either that or music festival season is rubbing off. My jeans are also from Forever 21 and the distressed boyfriend cut is my perfect fit.

For once, everything I’m wearing is new! And I’m so excited to be rocking my latest purchases. Over the holidays I stepped into my first mall in I can’t tell you how long (the joys of being home!) and took advantage of the insane Christmas discounts. I picked up the earrings for $9 and coat on mega-sale for $22 from Forever 21 (unfortunately, it’s back to full price but still a steal at $42.80). And because there’s nothing better then stalking people on Instagram with all that holiday downtime, I saw this awesome Wow Beanie on Christian Joy’s instagram page and immediately went on her site to get it. While I was there I fell in love with everything and also got her signature Logo Sweatshirt (aren’t the colors just fabulous?).
