So, once again the top part of this post is an acknowledgement that I haven't posted in FOREVER. Between moving back to Pittsburgh, job search, and then a summer class. My summer class was super intense. I figured it was summer and a course essentially on Harry Potter, so I figured it was going to be easy-- boy was I wrong. Imagine putting your regular class (14 weeks) and just smooshing it down into 6 weeks. The class meet twice a week for a little over 3 hours each time. Homework would be like read this whole novel in the one day between classes (class was on Tuesdays/Thursdays)- rather intense. It was worth it though so I'll be able to graduate on time!
Anyways- things are busy here!
We're heading into July and that means my sister is busy and I have to think of things to entertain my brother. He's 15 years old- so any and all suggestions are awesome. He doesn't want to go shopping at the mall every day like I do and he's not too young that playing games at home is cool.
My sister's graduation party is August 11th, so my mom and I are starting to plan! We got her some lovely Georgetown Cupcakes for her party- not exactly the dozen we ordered- we did custom with the assortment to have her favorites and then some party pleasers. So we have those and some cookies from Etsy (we have a few different favorite bakers)-- we still need to order real food, tables/chairs, and everything else! It will all come together as our backyard is being finished.
PUPPY! We're finally getting a dog. Our outdoor cat died a few weeks ago and we've missed his presence every morning. As we get closer to my sister and I moving up to NYC, my mom doesn't want to be alone with just my brother- so my dad agreed to get a dog! We're looking at breeds and then finding a breeder- so it's all exciting. Our friends have a goldendoodle, so we're looking into getting a little girl. :)
So, enough with the update-- onto my weekly obsession.
I'm totally obsessed. I look at them every time I go into Nordstrom and have been wanting a great pair of nude shoes (both flats and heels) for awhile now. So of course, this week they've been stalking me.
1. My mom found a pair at a consignment shop for $45! Worn once. Needless to say- I was jealous (though, I did get a DVF vintage wrap dress- so I had to get it!)
2. My friend from Marie Claire has a super awesome blog and found them at Last Call! A Link to her super awesome
blog!
I'm planning a trip to Boston, so I'm hoping either my favorite consignment stores there or Off Fifth Ave- I'm hoping to get lucky since everyone else is with these shoes!
Have a fabulous week everyone- I promise now that I have time, more outfit of the day posts!
