A Little Fashion Update

If you follow me on Twitter, you aren't unaware to the fact that I love Downton Abbey. And now that I have Andrew hooked it makes it that much more enjoyable.

Along with my daily need for hot tea now, I have also changed up my wardrobe to be a little more conservative and reflect a little of the 1920s. This isn't just happening in my closet! This Spring we are seeing the skirts get a little longer and the necklines not so revealing. There are also a lot of floral patterns coming in the upcoming seasons, so prepare yo-selves!

But that's in the next couple of weeks. As of right now we are still in the "navy blue phase" of things. So this past weekend I decided to put together a navy number with a combination of Ann pieces and a thrift store find.

Although this outfit didn't get a ton of compliments at work, I loved it so much! The peplum combined with the pleated skirt was so feminine and flirty and then with the riding boots it throws in the English feel.

Getting more creative with the pieces you already have in your closet is so important as we are transitioning seasons. Have fun with it!

Weekend Recap

As usual, I have been MIA for a couple of weeks. I have been talking to some friends about why I've been so anti-blogging lately. I have been very uninspired but I think that I can safely blame it on the weather. This winter thing is just awful.

To beat the winter blahs, Andrew and I decided to do a little bit of an old-fashioned date. Dinner and a Movie. We did the movie first, Movie 43. I wouldn't say that the movie was very "date-friendly" but the dinner definitely was. We tried a new restaurant that we have been wanting to try for a couple of months. 50 West is right down the street from our house and it was amazing!

We got dressed up which doesn't happen very often, and had a little night in the town.

And now for a little food porn...

You can't start out a night on the town without libations and thanks to my mother's friend Jen I have a love for Gin & Tonics.

YUM!

We just had to split this baked Vermont Cheddar Mac & Cheese...just a little bit of heaven.

Needless to say it was a much needed date and we had so much fun just sitting and talking! Sometimes it's just better to get back to the basics. I'm excited to start blogging again! I hope you all had a great weekend too!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year friends! I know we are four days in but I thought it was about time to do a little New  Years resolution post. I've done the usual in the past, lose weight, eat better, but I decided to change things up a bit. Those of you that know me quite well might know that I'm a little bit of a worrier. Ok, I'm a lot bit of a worrier.

It's really, if I don't have something to worry about, I usually find something. This is exhausting. It stresses me out like crazy. Poor Andrew puts up with it but it drains on him too. So here's what I plan on doing, working on my anxiety. I need to let things like money and the future stop worrying me. Living more in the moment and living LIFE.

This will be easier said than done but there it is. As far as the blog is concerned, I haven't quite decided where this blog is going to go this year. I think I'm just going to see where it goes. I really don't want to get to a place where I get super competitive about it. I want it to be fun. An outlet that allows me to meet new people and learn new things through those people.

I hope that you all had amazing Holiday season. It always goes by way too fast.
