movie night

I have a confession. I am a movie fanatic.  

As we draw closer to the Academy Awards, I am compelled to post about my
top 10 favorite movies of all time.

1. Forrest Gump, 1994

2. The Shawshank Redemption, 1994

3. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, 1975

4. Gone with the Wind, 1939

5. Paper Moon, 1973

6. To Kill a Mockingbird, 1962

7. Pollyanna, 1960

8. Annie Hall, 1977

9. This Property is Condemned, 1966

10. It's a Wonderful Life, 1946

Any movie night would not be complete without popcorn.  I prefer the "homestyle" pop secret brand with just a touch of butter, just a touch of salt.  If you haven't tried ranch seasoning on your popcorn yet, it is a must and will knock your socks off!  I also recommend Williams-Sonoma white cheddar popcorn seasoning.  Delish!

wear-to-work

Hello Darlings! 

I am back in the swing of my last semester (hooray!) clinical rotations and back to professional dress. I'm still trying to figure out how to incorporate my lululemon yoga pants into my clinical wardrobe so until then, I heart j.crew for my work clothes needs. 

Below are some great pieces that you can mix-n-match. 

1. Schoolboy Blazer, j.crew, $198

2. Lana Cami, j.crew, $70

3. Perfect Shirt, j.crew, $72

4. Martina Wedges, j.crew, $228

5. Pave' link bracelet, j.crew, $118

6. Pencil Skirt in super 120s, j.crew, $118

I love to incorporate a punch of color to a neutral outfit such as pairing the bright orange wedges with a khaki pencil skirt and crisp white shirt.  The pave bracelet can add glamour to a ho-hum office outfit. And if you're feeling really bold, pink & orange together, which I love!  Good luck fellow professionals; don't be afraid to...
