Posted by Cathy at 10:13 AM 1 comments
Sunday was my sister's engagement ceremony! It was a little chaotic but everything turned out well. Congratulations to my sister Sarah and her Fiancé Calvin. I can not wait for the wedding in September. We are going to go shopping for bridesmaid dresses on Saturday. I guess its about time to lose the weight I gained while I was at school.
My sister and I
Fun with family and friends

Rompin' It

Posted by Cathy at 5:42 AM 3 comments
Gotta make this quick before I leave for work. It looks like a beautiful day out and weather channel says its going to be a sunny one! I know I have a hectic day at Express, moving sale and whatnot, so I decided to wear my purple romper!! I wanted to belt it with a bracelet and matching necklace but I could not find the belt...I guess I didn't bring everything home from school yet.
I know its a change for some people and some may call it a jumpsuit, but it's a romper and its super comfortable. Plus, it is one of those pieces that should be a staple in your closet! It is great for everyday wear and if you need a quick going out outfit, you're in the money. Pair it up with some cute accessories or add some shape with a belt.
So here is my purple romper with a great feather flowered headband I got on sale at Charlotte Russe! (Enjoy my fan on the side) I am ready to attack my day of work and errands, only three days left until my sister's engagement ceremony. ITS CRUNCH TIME
Some crash while taking my pictures eek.

Okay, So I wasn't planning to have another post until tomorrow but I couldn't help it. I love the simple layering look and it's great for when you're running around town like I am. (My sister's engagement ceremony is Sunday!!)


My mom just bought me these new sandals, they were on sale at Ross's and I thought they were super cute. Good job mom ;)

Out to run around, have a great day!

In The Grey Haze

Posted by Cathy at 10:52 AM 1 comments
Back home from school! I am back to working at Express, at least until my internship starts on the cruise ship. (Don't get too excited..it is a 55+ cruise ship) Again, I have been lacking on my posts. My sister's engagement party is next Sunday so there is so much prep work to be done.

Unlike yesterday, today is hot and humid. I think the high is 83 and it is supposed to rain too, which will make it worse. Luckily, I will be working tonight and the air conditioner should be on.
I wanted to wear something that will give me a breezy look combined with a night look.
I got the shirt a little while ago before I left for Vegas for Spring Break. It is now one of my favorites, it can be worn casual and dressy plus it is super comfortable.

The owl watch necklace I found randomly at F21 waiting for my friend to return something. I have seen a couple people wear owl necklaces and always wanted one. I finally saw one with cute colorful watch numbers and the best part is it was only $6! The earrings I got from express, one of the many things I accumulated after working there for 4 years.
Have a great weekend everyone, enjoy the beautiful weekend! By the way, I want to purchase a curler, not anything expensive but one that works well with straight hair?

Boston Proper

Posted by Cathy at 3:41 PM 3 comments
Sorry for neglecting my blog, but I didn't bring my laptop to Boston. First! DOES ANYONE SHOP AT LULUS? They are giving my readers 15% off, the code is EXTRATRIMMINGS.

Kevin and I visited our friend Tim in Boston and had a blast! As you can see we went to the Celtics vs. Cavaliers game which was really fun. But I have to say there are some hard core fans crazy people out there.
One of our nights we went to a place called "The Beehive" I would recommend everyone to check this place out if you like jazz, great food and a place to relax with your friends. Here is their website http://www.beehiveboston.com/
While we were there our waitress, who I believe is to be Kevin's beer-mate had a really great bohemian outfit. I love the sequin vest, the back was a skinny racerback and the pattern on her skirt was pretty. She wore a simple two by two tank to pull the whole outfit together and added a pink pearl necklace. It was a lot of different unique components that blended well together.

We also went to the Sam Adam's Brewery. That was amazing, free beer tasting at the end and a pretty great looking cup to keep as the souvenir. We also visited Man vs. Food Barking Crab restaurant. The New England Clam Chowder was amazing and the amounts of food they gave us was amazing. The seafood was so fresh!

Unfortunately, I did not really take pictures of myself while in Boston with the crazy wind and rain we encountered. But I did take a picture when we got home from our trip. It is safe to say that my entire outfit was from express, except for the belt which was thrifted and the shoes which were from F21.
