I don’t drink coffee, so why not blog?

I am sooo tired!  I don’t know why my body is not cooperating with me.  “Hello body, I am at work, please don’t shut down.”  I’ve made it a point to go to sleep early every night this week and yet no luck.  The earlier I go to sleep, the more dead I wake up.  The only thing keeping me going is listening to music on the Pandora Radio website.  It is really cool.  You type in the name of an artist or song and the site picks music that you may like based on the musical qualities of your selection.  My Usher radio station is my favorite.  Right now I’m listening to Melanie Fiona’s “It Kills Me.”  Love that song.  I don’t have that kind of drama in my life but I can’t help but sing along when the song comes on (right now I’m singing along on the inside, its casual friday at the office but not that casual ha ha ha).

Work It Out: Outfit of the Day #1

28 Nov

Check out my first work outfit of the day video (above) inspired by The City’s Erin Kaplan in the December issue of Elle.

Outfit Details

Olive green sweater, J. Crew; black and grey striped tee, Banana Republic; black belt and gunmetal circle necklace, Express; tweed pants, American Eagle Outfitters; black pumps, Steve Madden.

Notes

  • The Banana Republic shirt looks black on film but is truly a grey and black thin-striped long sleeved tee. It is not on the website but I purchased this a week ago for about $19.99 in the Soho store (in NYC).
  • My American Eagle pants I purchased ages ago, but I found tweed pants on the Ann Taylor LOFT website. Click here to view. If  you’re not a fan of tweed just substitute with a pair of solid grey or black trousers.
