Outfit of the Day!

I was very excited about my outfit for work today, so I decided to share it! It's mainly Topshop, with a plain black skater dress paired with my pink blazer I posted a couple weeks ago. I finished my look with black arrowhead Kendra Scott earrings, and black Pied A Terre wedges.

Now all I need is a tan. While I was in the bathroom washing my hands at work, I saw how ghostly pale my legs were. I'm especially ashamed because I live in Texas, land of eternal sunshine! :)

Latest designer obsession...

My current fashion obsession would definitely be Serbian-born Roksanda Ilincic. Her designs are almost always bright, bold, and cheery, with asymmetrical cuts. Here are a few of my standouts!

I have been slaving over a VERY long post as of late, so I apologize for this short one today! :)

Hashtag of the day...

I've come to the conclusion that some guys are simply #lapdogs.

Topshop Thursday

I wanted to quickly share my newest acquisition from one of my favorite retailers, Topshop. I first saw this blazer on an episode of Pretty Little Liars (who is A already?!?!), and have been searching for it since. They just reissued it for Spring 2014, and of course I had to have one. The jacket's material is crepe, so it makes for a lightweight office option (especially in the Houston heat!).

I'm excited to have a second pink blazer!

Outfit of the Day/Drink of the Week!

I have decided to post an outfit of the today! I was in an especially "pink" mood today. Here is what my outfit consists of:

Zara pink linen blazer - I actually got this on sale around a year ago. Believe it or not, this is my first solid pink blazer! I was so happy when I happened to pop into the Zara Houston store, and saw this beauty for $25! I know Zara is very quick to turnover clothes for new styles, but they almost always have pink blazers in stock.

Paige Denim Skyline Ankle Peg in Beechwood jeans - These are probably my favorite pair of jeans, currently. They have just enough stretch to accommodate my larger than normal behind, yet don't stretch out where they become uncomfortably baggy. Very comfortable, and quite figure-flattering. 

Zara gray beaded butterfly top - I know this is the wrong top, but it was the most similar one to my actual top. Mine is gray with a beaded butterfly. Very nice for summer, as the top is very breathable.

Charlotte Olympia fuchsia kitty flats - these are my favorite part of my outfit today. They are super comfortable, and the stitching is an exact color match for my blazer!

Onto another part of this post - the drink of the week! I have opted for a dessert martini, which is the Peninsula (of Chicago) S'Mores Martini.

1.5 oz Maker's Mark

1.5 oz Butterscotch Schnapps

1 oz Godiva chocolate liqueur

Dash of cream

Rim: Melted marshmallow fluff, sprinkled with graham cracker

I cannot WAIT to try this one! Yummo!

Have a great day everyone! :)

Craft Beer of the Week!

Work has been crazy the past week, so I apologize for the lack of updates lately! Without further adieu, the craft beer of the week I have chosen is...

Dogfish Head Tweason'ale!

It's description so follows... Hints of molasses and pit-fruit are balanced by vibrant strawberry notes and a unique complexity that comes with the addition of a malty buckwheat honey. Yum!

I had to include this as my featured beer because I'm obsessed with anything strawberry (even though I must say, I don't care for it AS much as the Abita Strawberry Ale). Added bonus: it's gluten free!

Cheers!

My new favorite lunch spot!

So I've been wandering around the city during my lunch hour, attempting to try as many new places as I can. I had been to Shay McElroy's before for a nice Irish beer, but I didn't know until yesterday that they offered a pretty decent lunch!

I had every intention of sitting outside the other day (with it being such lovely weather before the intense heat of Houston summers), but I just couldn't help but sit inside and admire the traditional look of the pub. The bartender (who was Irish himself!) was very attentive and called me "love" every time he spoke to me. I enjoyed the atmosphere so much, I ended up going to lunch with my mother there today as well! The gal bar tending today was also very attentive, and so much fun! She told my mom she was going to get her to party next time we come in, haha!

Shay McElroy's has a pretty nice selection of Irish beer and liquor, a good amount of regular selections (Bud Light, etc.), as well as some offerings I've never heard of before. As far as food goes, they have a wonderful offering of different sandwiches, snacks, and salads. Yuuuuummmm!

My BLT with home-made potato salad! 

So, if you are looking for a good place with that awesome European feel, I recommend coming here! Good food, good beer and drinks, good fun!
