SALT & PEPPA: WARDROBE OF THE WEARY

Now Playing: "We Found Love" -Rihanna

I've gotten pretty boring. Let's be real. I just realized how 

many pieces of my wardrobe are different shades of grey. I have the 

somber, the smokey, the leaden, the ashen, and not to forget the 

granite or clouded shades. (btw gray/grey can be used interchangeably) 

Fall is probably the worst time to try to throw some color into your 

wardrobe but here is my written pledge to add more spice into my clothing. 

Hmm.. maybe i'll try a lavender or a violet. Any suggestions?

Crochet Back

Top: Kohls, Jeans: F21, Shoes: Guess

I've been waiting to find the right time to pull out this little baby. I love the color and im a sucker for crochet. This piece is a little different with all of the asymmetry, but since "high-low" is back in style, I figured I would give it a shot. 

Everytime you try to work in a style piece, play it safe (at least the first time) and pair it with  neutrals.

At first, I wanted to give myself a goal to watch at least half of these movies before the awards... then I realized that I wanted to read half of them before I watched the movie. 

Dear Apple, please release the iPad 3 so I can start reading again.

P.S. I am so into Pinterest right now, follow my boards at http://pinterest.com/snooruddin/

My New Job

Here's to being an adult. [cheers] These are the things that I have learned in my first week of work:

1. The express lane is your best friend. Paying .50 to get out of traffic is beyond worth it. 

2. Everything that you have learned in college has only gotten you through the door. You actually don't know anything in the real world, so listen- a lot. 

3. Make Friends

^ My desk is in an odd spot, in that it is right in front of the entrance to the floor. So I say hello to everyone, a few times a day, and when it gets awkward we just nod to each other. In an effort to make new friends I have devised a plan to make the best out of my situation. 

Cookies. I plan to keep a jar of cookies on the edge of my desk with a sign that says "Take One, I'm Delicious" With hopes that people will come by my desk more often and in turn make new friends. bribery at it's best

p.s. do you love my new shoes? I have a sudden obsession with Mary Janes, these are my first pair. Let me know what you think!
