OOTD: 100 Degrees???

It has been miserably hot and humid in the good old DC area. So this week I have said the hell with office wear. I am going to dress as comfortably and as light as possible without being too unprofessional. Is not like I get many visitors and I am alone 98% of the time. I have also decided that this will be a no make-up or contacts wearing week. Why put on make-up when it is only going to melt off?

How are you guys handling the heat?

Dress and cover up: New york and Company; Necklace: Made by me; Bracelet: Tiffany & Co.

Weight Watchers Week 4

Technically I am on week 5 of Weight Watchers but I do not count the first week since that was the week I signed up. I start counting from my first Weight in. My first weigh in was on 9/26/09, four Saturday's ago, you can go here to read about it.

As I stated back then once a month I will post my stats, updated weight and an updated picture. So here we go:

(Click on picture to see it bigger)

I gained 0.2 pounds this week. I am not upset over it. That is what will happen when you drink a 12 oz cup of hot chocolate every morning. I bet you are thinking how could that be just from drinking that? Well, this is no ordinary hot chocolate. This is 12 oz of whole milk and melted rich milk chocolate. Yes, it is heaven, yummy and killer for anyone trying to lose weight. So I am officially cutting that out of as my morning indulgement.

Lastly here is my progress picture:

Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell, Dress and Belt: NY and Company, Top: H&M, Necklace: My Perfect Accessory

This is what I wore on Thursday. I am now wearing a size 14, down from a size 16. I had to cut out my head because it was at the end of the day and I looked like hell, so does my dress. I promise it was wrinkle free at the beginning of the day.

Now here is to hoping that I lose 2.2 pounds by the 31st of this month to make the 5% goal for the month.

I love the weekends

I took advantage of some of the sales and free tax DC is having this weekend.

Top from Forever21 (this is part of an outfit I am putting together for a super secret mission), Red headband from Forever21, Gold and black glasses case from Aldo, blue bag and scarf from NY & Company, and I finally got myself the Bamboo tablet that I have been wanting for a while.

I really want to be more Eco friendly and stop using plastic/paper bags from the stores, so I am going to start making shopping bags. This was my first one. I made it out of green and white upholstery fabric and the bottom out of white denim. I forgot how much fun it is to sew. I have plans to make grocery bags but I need to go out and buy more fabric.


A couple of weeks ago Steve Madden was having a sale and I bought the shoes above for $20! I love them. They are so comfy.


When we went to the Eastern Market I bought the cuff below from a local artist. She had them in different colors but ended up picking this one up. More my style.


Isn't it great?


I will end this with my first outfit of the day picture. This is what I wore for my Friday festivities.
Top: Do not remember where I got it.
Pants: Old Navy
Shoes: Rockport Shoes
Sunglasses: From vintage store in NYC
Earrings: Bought at a Native American Flea Market in New Mexico
Bracelet: New York and Company

Today I will be at Merriweather Post Pavillion for the Incubus concert. I am super excited, I have seen them in concert once before and they were awesome.

How is every ones weekend going??

I really do try to venture out and try to put color in my life but for some reason 9 times out of 10 I end up with an all black outfit.

Ok, that is better, I do have a neck.

Top and Skirt: New York & Company
Sunglasses: From street vendor in NYC
Necklace: A Perfect Accessory
Shoes: From an Indian store that was going out of business
Hair bows: Made by Tia
Makeup: Not really wearing much today, just sunscreen, MAC Cosmetics Cult of Cherry Lipglass and Masacara.

Look at how fluffy the clouds looked today. It really was a nice day to drive around with the top down.
