As happy as I am to see my Dawgs secure the SEC East title this weekend, I was even happier to have a few more days of nice weather before the harsh New York winter makes its presence known.

| I can’t believe I forgot to share pics of my Halloween costume! Though I usually throw a party, I took a year off since the holiday fell too close to my housewarming party. Just because I wasn’t hosting the festivities doesn’t mean I took a year off from the holiday as a whole. When it comes to Halloween costumes, I always make my own. They are typically more cerebral (lots of wordplay) and always done on the cheap. This year I went as 50 Shades of Grey. The only thing I paid for was my manicure (a french tip with two different grey polish). I used a skirt I had at home and then made a top out of paint samples pilfered from Home Depot. Loved the result! |

| Before the power went out during Hurricane Sandy, Danielle and I started a Homeland marathon. I am now obsessed! Sadly, I got rid of my Showtime so I’ll be finishing Season 1 via Netflix. Lots of intrigue in this one! |

| Turns out, if you ignore the cold seasons, they still come anyway. Not buying appropriate clothing in protest will not stave off the chill. This weekend, I gave myself a budget of $250 and went out in search of Fall clothing. I found two dresses at Coup de Coeur, a boutique by my apartment that carries trendy clothes at a reasonable price, a great pair of peeptoe snakeskin booties at Second Time Around, and the above pictured shirt at Pookie and Sebastian. Pookie is usually a little too pricey for me, but I splurged after coming in under budget on the other items. I’m so glad I did because this shirt is absolute heaven. It is the closest you can get to wearing a sweatshirt and still looking cute. It doesn’t look super special in the pic, but when paired with bangles and cute ballet flats it made the perfect brunch outfit. |
