According to Pantone, Emerald is the color of the year. In celebration of both St. Patrick’s Day and the first day of Spring this week, I thought green would be a fantastic color to feature. Although it’s still freezing cold outside in New York City, I am hopeful for some upcoming warm weather. I’m looking forward to seeing all the green sprout up in the parks, on the trees, and all the flowers blooming. I am also looking forward to putting away my winter coats for the season, and breaking out some new Spring attire. If we could only get these snow flurries to calm down!

A View From Weehawken

Last Saturday we made the trek out to Weehawken, New Jersey for a good friend’s housewarming party. I have driven through the Lincoln Tunnel many times, and have looked up at the houses up in the cliffs imagining the stunning views they must have of Manhattan. Well, on Saturday I no longer had to imagine as I saw this view for myself! WOW. We spent tons of time hanging out on this ledge taking photos before joining the housewarming festivities…which were also a ton of fun by the way! Congrats to my friends on their new digs and their fabulous view!

Last night we held our final screening for our Race to the Oscars. We saw the Oscar Nominated Animated Shorts program! Most people don’t get a chance to see the films in this category, so I always feel like I have an upper hand when guessing the winner. I am always impressed by the level of talent, and this year was no disappointment.

This post concludes my Flair Accessories Series, and this look is actually my favorite of the bunch. I hope you have enjoyed my little styling adventure! The hubby has been wanting to take me to the promenade in Brooklyn Heights for awhile now. We decided to stop in before a dinner and movie date a couple weekends ago. There is a beautiful walkway along the water as well as a gorgeous skyline view. What’s not to enjoy? Well, I will tell you, I did NOT enjoy the windy cold temps that I felt up there!!! While I displayed a smile for many of these photos, I was secretly freezing my bum off, and could not wait to get off this promenade. I can happily say I will not be returning until the Spring!

Today, I would like to say “Happy Birthday” to our dear old friend Abraham Lincoln. I am celebrating tonight by going to see the movie, Lincoln, on our little Race to the Oscars here at work. I have heard a lot of great things about this film, and I am very excited to see it for myself!

Happy Tuesday everyone. Hope you have a great day!

Accessorize Me {Flair Accessories Series #1}

Here is the first outfit post for my Flair Accessories series. I started off with a simple business casual look — colored button down, black denim skinny jeans, black pumps. Simple right? What brings this look to the next level is the accessories. A little leopard print belt and gloves take this look up a notch as well as the vintage sunglasses. And lastly, the fabulous flair that was added to complete the look. Take note of the purple pop to my ears and the chain bling around my neck. I also added this fun cage style ring. Without the accessories, the look would honestly be quite boring in my opinion. Accessorizing is a key element to my getting ready process and can turn a look from “nice” to “amaze” in a matter of seconds. Definitely check out Carly’s amazing store online. I guarantee you will find a piece of flair you adore!

It’s a busy week here with work conferences, clients in town, movie nights, meetings, photography class, photography homework, etc. Hopefully I can find some time to fit some sleep in there. Right now I’m just whirling on through.

I saw Argo over the weekend and Beasts of the Southern Wild last night, which are two more Oscar nominated films to check off my list. Both were absolutely amazing. Beasts was especially impressive coming from a first time director, and that little girl was such an amazing actress. I would recommend both films though!

In other news, how was everyone’s Super Bowl? I really didn’t have a team to rally behind (since my beloved Redskins did not make it), but being from Maryland, I must say I have a lot of happy friends this week!

Hope everyone has a Happy Hump Day!
