Moody Style: Denim and Stripes

Last night, I just realized that I haven’t written anything on my blog yet for the month of June and we’re already on the 9th days.  Yikes, I don’t know where the time went.  I need to get better about that.  Well, I’m flying down to Miami again for another work trip, so I figured I’ll start writing this post during my flight.  I should be doing actual work for my job, but who wants to do that on the plane.  I’ll be down in South Florida until Thursday, so be sure to check out my Instagram for more up to date posts of my comings and goings.  I’m pretty sure there will be another Jugo Fresh visit while I’m down there.  I’m obsessed with their açaí bowls.  I’ve tried to recreate them at home, but my version is no match for their delicious goodness.  Have you ever tried to recreate a drink or a meal at home after thinking about it for days, weeks or even months?  Were you successful with coming up with your own copycat recipe?  Let me know in the comments.

Moody Style: Anchored Down

I just got back in town from a quick trip to Dallas, TX for a work meeting.  I’m literally home for a night with enough time to unpack and repack for another trip.  Traveling for work was fun and a little glamorous the first few times I had to do it.  However, the unending parade of hotel rooms, living out of my suitcase, and standing in long lines for airport security is quickly losing its charm.  I can see how people can get worn down from doing this for too long.  The only way to maintain my sanity is coming home and sleeping in my own bed even if it’s just for one night.  I love feeling anchored down with some normalcy and the comforts of home.  It always perks me back up and gets me going for the next trip. Do any of you travel for work or pretty often? How you do recoup after a long trip? Let me know in the comments.

Moody Style: Flowers and Stripes

This has to be one of my all time favorite outfits so far this year.  I fell in love with the Punk Floral print when J.Crew brought it out last year.  But I wasn't able to grab any of the pieces except for the bathing suit.  So I was elated when the company released a newer version of this print at J.Crew Factory.  As soon as I could make it out to my local store, I jumped at the chance to grab this skirt (here) and this sweater (here).  I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty happy that I can find some of J.Crew’s sold out pieces at the Factory from time to time.  Have any of you snagged some of J.Crew’s best sellers at the Factory?  What have been your favorite purchases so far?  Let me know in the comments.

Moody Style: Coral and Lace

Hiya everyone!  I hope that you all had an awesome holiday weekend.  I really didn’t do too much over the past three days.  I stayed pretty close to home and ate my way through the weekend with lots of barbecue.  I had the most pretty amazing BBQ ribs that I'm still dreaming about.  I’m so bummed that they're all gone.  Other than eating, I managed to make it out to farmer’s market on Saturday and bought some fresh veggies and homemade soap.  I also made it out to the stores for a little retail therapy.  I bought a few things from J.Crew (like this and this) and Banana Republic (a couple pieces from their limited edition Marimekko collection) since they were both having great sales this weekend.  I also ran a few miles each day to help me feel better about all of the food that I ate over 3 days.  Did you all enjoy your weekend?  Did you go shopping?  I would love to hear what you did or what you bought.  Just let me know in the comments.

Moody Style: Day or Night

I hope that you all are having a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend so far.  What have you guys been up to this weekend?  I did a little shopping today, went to a farmer’s market and got a pedicure with a good friend of mine.  I love lazy Saturdays.  Anyways, here’s a quick post of an outfit that I wore a couple of weekends ago to a barbecue birthday party.  I figured that this J.Crew dress would be perfect for the occasion; it’s a great dress for day or night.  I was so excited when I scored this dress for less than $30.  Don’t you love it when that happens?  Have you scored any good deals from J.Crew lately?  Let me know in the comments.
