Bows and Pink

H&M Bow Print Dress (love this one and this one too) // BaubleBar necklace (old, but similar) // Express tights // Leather Jacket (gift from Grandparents! They're so stylish) // H&M heels (old, but love these or these) // Ban.do bobby pins (can't find online, but these and these are so adorable).

Happy Monday! 
Man, this is going to be a rough one. Between it being the first full week of work in what seems like forever, and the weather being downright awful, I'm pretty sure it's going to be iffy on my mental survival rate this week. The winter blues is real guys (all comments of encouragement welcome this week).
Anyway, what better way to pep up a dreary day than with a super fun outfit? I feel like this is one of those outfits that people would describe as "Nicole". I'm a sucker for this kind of cut dress with a fun print...and well hot pink heels is kind of a no-brainer. Someone recently said this dress reminded them that sometimes I dress like Jess from New Girl. While I'm not sure that is a total compliment, I had to agree with them on the dress. Though, hopefully the added necklace bling and leather jacket made it a tad-less New Girl-ish. She's pretty hilarious though so I'm still ok with it.
I hope everyone survives the continued crazy weather!

Hey there! So my sporadic posting continues. BUT, I'm back with another one!

This past Memorial Day weekend was quite the boring one for me. Turns out, always listen to your parents because they're always right. They told me I should go home upstate and hang out, but of course I didn't listen. Instead I watched a LOT of old ER episodes online and cleaned my apartment because it really is true that EVERYONE leaves the city on holiday weekends. Like, everyone.

Luckily, my amazing cousin and blog photographer lately came back on Monday (just in time for BACHELORETTE night. All I need is wine and that show and my night is made. Seriously). So we took our favorite furry friend, Baxter, for a walk and little photoshoot before our girly festivities. He really is the best photoshoot prop isn't he?

Oh also, Gap has such cute tshirts right now. I'm loving this hot pink checked one for the summer!

Turning 25.

Hi friends! Sorry for the prolonged absence once again, but I come to you with an outfit post!

I've been hesitant to do one of these because well, it's kinda weird thinking "hey, I like my outfit, I'm sure my 5 readers want to see it too!". But, I'm trying to follow the "why not?" mantra this year so here goes!

So yesterday was my 25th birthday. I had a fabulous weekend and couldn't be luckier to have such wonderful family and friends to make me feel so very special on a day when I really thought I'd have a crisis. I kinda did, but it wasn't as monumental as I would have thought (more about this in tomorrow's post).

Anyway, yesterday was pretty low-key after going out the night before (pardon the slight rough-looking Nicole in these photos. No sleep + day 2 of drybar blowout). Part of it was spent with my wonderful cousin Melissa who lives a few blocks from me and her amazing dog, Baxter. Our favorite pastime is taking Baxter on walks throughout the city so part of my birthday was doing just that. It was a beautiful day and on our way back from the river we stopped and did a little photoshoot. I have to say, my favorite part about these photos are my prop Baxter. He's a wonderful model.

So yay or nay on these little photoshoots? Hope everyone had an awesome weekend!
