Happy Weekend!!!

The weekend is officially here! After an insane week of work, I’m incredibly thankful for some downtime.  My job has been so hectic over the past few months that I’m starting to redefine busy.  {Image via Mary Ruffle} On the schedule for this weekend?  Lots of crafts, catching up on some reading, seeing the Oscar nominated films that I haven’t seen yet (King’s Speech and Fighter,) a bottomless champagne brunch with the girls, and (natch!) watching the Oscars.  The bf is back from LA, so we’ll get to have a little quality time together..  I miss him.

Kenneth Jay Lane.

I think I need this (or at the very least, to find some huge chain links and try and recreate it.)  Perfection in bracelet form.

Designer Obsession: Issa

I blame Kate Middleton.  When she showed up wearing that amazing engagement dress (you know, the slinky blue, deep v jersey number that was featured on pretty much every tabloid and/or celebrity fashion blog?)  I died a little bit (in a good, Rachel Zoe sort of way.)  That’s how I found out about Issa.  Of course the dress (pictured below, center) sold out immediately.

Found: The Perfect Spring Nail Polish.

Spring is coming, and thanks to Chanel, before you know it, everyone will be rocking neon yellow nails.  I highly recommend stocking up on Sally Hansen Salon Effects in Electric Shock the next time you’re at the drugstore.  They will give you the most opaque, shiniest, and longest wearing neon nail color possible.  (Trust me on this one, I spent a little over a year as the marketing manager for Sally Hansen nail color… I worked on this launch and I know my nail polish.)  In the meantime, I think I may have found the perfect interim color from Ginger & Liz.  It’s called “He’s So Into Me.” At first glance,  it looks nearly white, but two-three coats later, you have perfectly lavender nails.  It’s pale enough to give you visions of Spring as you look at your nails, but the color is rich enough to warm up pasty hands.

Want. Need. Love. Striped Wrap Dresses from DVF.

Got home tonight and decided to indulge in a little fantasy online shopping.  I was just beside myself when I found these two striped wrap dresses from Diane Von Furstenberg.  I die.  Too bad I’m on a shopping hiatus… so obsessed.
