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  So I was elated when the company released a newer version of this print at J.Crew Factory.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.

Moody Style: A Scattering of Dots

Happy Wednesday everyone!  I’m so excited that we only have two days left in the week before the Memorial Day Weekend.  Do you have any plans this weekend? I don’t have any plans yet, but I’m really looking forward to having some down time at home.  I’m hardly ever home since I travel so much for work.  As a result of my travels, my apartment is in serious needs of a little TLC.  The only thing that I have scheduled this weekend is a 5k race on Memorial Day.  I haven’t ran in a race since March, so Monday morning should be interesting.  I would like to make it to the beach at least once this weekend and I would love to find a barbecue to crash.  If anyone’s barbecuing  just let me know - I just may show up.
