new in

Holy cannoli, I feel like I haven't blogged in forever. Finals are finally done and I'm leaving LA tomorrow until 2013! The status of my remote has been demoted from temporarily misplaced to definitely lost. Consequently, no outfit posts until I pick a new one up (self timer can kiss my butt.) I've been debating whether it is better to not post at all, or post rather poor photos. Eventually, I felt as if my blog must have been feeling neglected, and went with the later decision (anthropomorphism whassup)

Soooo here is the booty from my shopping trip treasure hunt from out and about the city. I hate taking photos without natural light, but by the time I got back there was virtually no sun :(



So I first fell in love with this dress when I saw Olivia Palermo wearing it on fashion's night out. I forgot about it until I saw it in person a few weeks ago at Cusp, but still didn't seize the opportunity to buy it. Then lo and behold! It was on sale at bloomingdale's today and it was absolutely necessary that I purchase it. Look at the awesome button down back.

sweater: h&m

Been looking for a solid turtleneck sweater for some time, and this one was love at first sight. The slightly dipped hem line, the color, and the pattern all scream winter! Most definitely will be wearing this a lot during winter in the east coast.

The nail polish isn't new but I figured I would post my nails of the week since I haven't had a chance to.

Sherlock Holmes is one of my favorite literary characters of all time. Imagine my delight when they whipped out this number on tonight's episode of Elementary (if you haven't seen this show-- DO!)
