Over the past few weeks every-time J.Crew had a 30% off I picked up one or two items-Most of them are very summery both in terms of color and cut. J.Crew Schoolboy Blazer in Herringbone-Pink I have this Blazer in chilli and blue as well-Now that I have had it and worn it – I [...]
Pairing a simple muted gold sheath dress with a black blazer, kitten heels and soft dewy makeup is a no-brainer work outfit.Both the dress and the blazer are from Talbots.In person the dress is not as bright as it appears on the model-its a lot more muted.The belt is from J.crew-I would pair this with [...]
A couple of days back I met an intern from my graduate school for career advice and interview prep -We had lunch together and amongst other things we talked about office appropriate fashion.She had just graduated from college in May and was on a fixed budget-that conversation got me thinking about what are the absolute essential items you should [...]
Check out part 1 of this haul here J.Crew Schoolboy Blazer in Eyelet. The way I wore this blazer last weekend was, with a pair of crisp classic navy shorts and a white tank.The blazer instantly dressed up, what was otherwise an extremely causal outfit and added form and structure to a very neutral simple [...]
Lately I have been loving the fitted form and structure that blazers provide -They instantly transform a simple plain jane outfit into a polished ensemble which can effortlessly transition from day to night. For causal dinners and those evening’s where you are up and about- pair you blazers with the basic pieces of the wardrobe like shorts and denim to [...]

The long memorial-day weekend brings with it the opportunity to unwind,relax and recharge. My plans for the weekend include attending an outdoor jazz festival, a hour long lesson in portrait photography, finishing the final few pages of a cliffhanger novel and of course some scrumptious meals hopefully taken alfresco. Lately all I have been craving is sandwiches-it might be cause I only ate [...]
For awhile now I have been thinking about writing this post but between taking the GMAT,the craziness that is life and finding the right words to convey what I wanted to say, this post kept getting pushed back.But now that the GMAT is behind me and things have stopped being so crazy, I have a feeling that [...]
