Current Obsessions
Apr 19, 2014
I saw these shoes on Zara.com and knew immediately I needed them. I needed them soooo badly that I put myself on the waiting list to get them. On Thursday, I got the email saying they were available but I decided to wait until Friday to purchase them (payday duh) and to my dismay they were sold out! SOLD OUT!! So I cried on the inside for 1-5 minutes and then decided to call the ZARA down the street from my job and they had them in stock! Im so obsessed with these shoes!!!! They're studded and black aka the epitome of all things Melanie!
I also swung by H&M and picked up this decorative container for my desk/vanity (the one I don't own yet). I am finally getting around to sprucing up my bedroom. I cant wait to show everyone the final results.
Little Black Dress
Oct 28, 2013
Not too long ago I bought this dress to attend a charity event here in DC. I searched high and low in ZARA to find this dress and I absolutely looooove it. I love the way it hugs my curves and of course the sexy back. The only issue I have is I bought the dress too big and it adds a bit more chunk to my frame. (oy vey!) I am now in search of a seamstress to take the dress in.
Every girl should own a little black dress.

My Kimono Skirt
Oct 2, 2013
I picked up this amazing Kimono wrap skirt from Zara over the summer and I am totally obsessed with it. I have been trying to force myself to be comfortable wearing skirts again since I packed on a few pounds. *coughalotofpounds* I could not take wearing jeans in the hellish DC summer anymore so I whipped out the skirts. While I am busting my butt in the gym to shed the weight I am trying not to mentally restrict myself from clothing I love because thats just plain dumb. [ sidebar: Im so happy that it is finally Fall! Bring on the cool weather.]

"Leather" Pants 3 Different Ways
Dec 8, 2012
I got these killer faux leather pants from H&M last week and I have pretty much been living in them.
Are you loving the leather trend as well?
A Night with Dior
Jul 28, 2012
On Thursday I went with Jess and Max to April's (MyDCStyle) fall preview event at the Dior Boutique in Chevy Chase! I must admit that I never really thought much of Dior. I thought Dior stood for gaudy and over the top a la the monogrammed saddle bag. But boy was I wrong!
All of the pieces were stunning and well constructed. I learned that M. Dior was not only an architect but an esteemed gardener as well. His love for both architecture and gardening are often referenced in the house's clothing. M. Dior believed the flower held the perfect silhouette and was once quoted as saying "I make flower woman".
I seriously lusted over everything I saw. Dior has won me over without a doubt. Once gain thank you April! I thoroughly enjoyed the event.
I was clearly overwhelmed by all the lux and beauty. (LOL)
I wore a ZARA lace blouse, H&M pencil skirt, and I finally wore my Sam Edlemen shoes!

I was sent the Different Strokes Shorts and I heart them. They totally scream summer...summer...summer time (oooo sumertime). Uhhh did I just age myself?! Anywho... Sugarlips is located in California but they have an online store stocked with amazing pieces that are affordable. Check out there website HERE.

I paired the shorts up with a collared button up blouse from H&M. I love this shirt it is so versatile and it was only $12.95. Winning!

About Time
Jun 25, 2012
So I FINALLY found a watch! I've been searching forever for a watch that didn't over power my pathetically small wrists. I picked up this Marc Jacobs watch today (courtesy of the birthday money provided by my Aunt. THANK YOU!!!!). Its perfect for the girl with tiny wrist as well as a timeless piece. I am obsessed with it lol.
Icecream Social
Jun 21, 2012
Yesterday was beyond hot here in Washington DC! I decided that only ice cream could cure my agitation due to the heat. (LOL) I dragged my BF out of the house and we headed to Coldstones in Downtown Silver Spring. My Aunt gave me a gift-card to Coldstone back in December and I was delighted to finally use it. I dug out the strapless dress my mom sent me a while back and paired it with my Michael Kors studded flats. Twisted my hair into my "signature" bun and kept it as cool as possible.
How are you all managing to beat the heat?
Stay cool y'all ;)

Date Night
Apr 25, 2012
So I went on a date the other day (I know right!) and after toting my whole closet to my BFFs' house and damn near canceling due to lacking outfit choices. I finally came up with this little number. I revisited my old crotchet knit sweater, basic black tank dress form H&M, and a random black braid belt. My date was pretty cool. (i'm playing it cool in case he discovers my blog LOL)
Casual Friday
Apr 19, 2012
LOL! I totally thought today was Friday it was not until I started typing this did I realize it was Thursday. FAIL...like major fail. Any who I got some awesome white pants from H&M the other day and paired it with my fave shirt I got from TJ Maxx. I also rediscovered a piece of jewelry that I stole from my friend Maxi. (sorry Max). I believe it came from H&M...its pretty dope. I'll be off to work where supposedly there is a surprise waiting for me. Hopefully that surprise doesn't come in the form of you're fired. LOL!
Typical
Apr 16, 2012
Its a whopping 90 degrees in DC today and I cannot get enough of it. The weather totally reminds me of Texas :( (home sweet home). Any who today I just bummed it. I wore my favorite sheer button down (I call it my typical shirt), boyfriend jeans, and sun glasses to class. Classes end next week and I couldn't be any more happier. However finals loom right around the corner so its a bit bitter sweet.
