New shoes! I love sharing my purchases on here with you guys because (a) it's fun, and (b) it's a great way for me to keep track of when I bought something and to always link back to this where you can find the link to purchase it yourself.
I had my eye on these heels for months and saw I Am Khatu & Rosie wearing theirs--in nude--when I finally decided to pull the trigger...and I'm so glad I did.
When I first purchased these, as I mentioned in my haul video, I thought they were going to be uber uncomfortable as they don't have a lot of give; I was wrong. They are quite comfortable and I can walk for a long time in them. The only qualm is they might be a tad big. I ordered a 10 and maybe could have sized down to a 9.5. It's not tragic, my foot just flops a bit when I walk, but the ankle strap keeps it in my place anyways.
Speaking of the ankle strap, it should be noted it's slightly roomier than I'd expect. I'd say my ankles are average--and I definitely don't have cankles--but the strap is quite loose. I like the look, but for sturdiness, it's just a bit looser. Nothing to prevent one from ordering them though, I absolutely love these shoes!

I put together a new type of vlog for you guys today, let me know if you like this type of video. This vlog includes a bunch of stuff like a dinner party, outfits, a rooftop pool with friends + more.
Things I mentioned:
I started my weekend on Friday night with a workout, which is so unlike me for a Friday night. That said, other than playing beach volleyball on Thursday night, I totally slacked off and didn't get to the gym once all week. So this weekend I made sure to go Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
On Saturday morning after the gym, my boyfriend and I went to breakfast at our fave winter spot (haven't been in months!). I wanted to go somewhere else but by the time we finished at the gym it was almost 1pm and everything else wouldn't be serving breakfast anymore.
Saturday.
Outfit deets: Billabong top, Boathouse shorts, Bamboo gladiators (old), Christian Siriano cross-body bag & Le Chateau necklace.
Saturday afternoon was spent at a rooftop pool (totally forgot to take a shot of the view) with a bunch of friends.
Outfit deets: Ardene bikini top.
Saturday night I went to a (different) rooftop BBQ party which ended up being quite calm and low key but still a lot of fun.
Outfit deets: Walmart sweatshirt (new!), Abercrombie denim mini (old), Vince Camuto sandals & Limite necklace.
Sunday shopping day.
Outfit deets: BCBGeneration top, Urban Planet skirt, Sam Edelman wedges & Ardene cross-body bag.
Sunday night dinner: butter chicken made at home (..from a jar).
Working on this blog post on Sunday night :)
Hey guys, just thought I was pop in and do a life update chat-type post where I just ramble a little.
It's amazing how sometimes I have so much blog content swirling around in my head and in the background and other times I let a day or two pass before I post. I hate not posting on Monday through Friday, but sometimes I just can't come up with anything relevant or worth sharing.
So I just found out that the condo I purchased a year ago--see this video for how excited I was, and still am--has been pushed back, unfortunately. I guess they have not sold enough units yet so instead of being ready in November 2014, it is now June 2015. Ugh. That is two more years that I really didn't anticipate staying living where I'm living now.
While I love my apartment and the location, it is lacking a few things, namely a dishwasher and in-unit laundry. I can deal with having shoes scattered in all areas and that fact that half of my dining room is actually part closet, but I'm getting really sick of doing dishes by hand and lugging laundry down to the basement. I know, I know, #firstworldproblems.
When I was condo hunting last Spring/Summer, I almost bought a condo without a dishwasher. What a mistake that would have been. I really hate doing dishes and since I've been doing them by hand for almost two years now, my patience is wearing thin. I know this may seem trivial to some, and you may wonder how many dishes can one person make? A lot. That's how many, a lot. I cook at home all the time, and in turn produce tons of dishes, add that to lunch travel dishes and shaker cups and Magic Bullet canisters and lids... it's a lot you guys. It's annoying.
So I'm in a transition period in my mind. Do I pull out of the condo and look for something else? I'm not even sure I can, I have to read my terms and conditions to be certain. If I can, do I look for a condo that's ready? When I purchased my car five months ago, I was kind of on a two-year plan to pay it off before I moved to be more financial secure (which means I'm literally paying out the ass for it every month, but, I love it and it was a sacrafice I was willing to make). That would change things if I moved and I would like to own something as I've been renting for almost two years and while it's fine, am I going to continue to do so when I could be building equity instead with the means I have? And on that note, perhaps I should just leave my deposit in the condo and sell it when it's finally ready and hopefully make some money... but on the flip side, am unable to purchase anything else as my money is tied up.
All thoughts just swirling in my head right now and while I'm not quite ready to make a decision, or a move--literally--I'm thinking about it, the future and various other factors and things.
That's pretty much it for now; as always, thanks for reading <3>
I have never given a second thought as to exposing my toes at work, despite knowing it used to be a faux pas.
I personally think that it is completely acceptable now in a business casual environment. What made me think twice about this was seeing a woman's gross looking, unpolished toes in the bathroom stall next to me the other day. Ick.
I think there is something to be said about feet that aren't taken care of and in my personal opinion, those feet and toes should not be exposed. Ain't nobody got time--or the stomach--for that (at work).
Agree or disagree? What are your thoughts?
All of the photos above are outfits and shoes I've worn to work. I noticed recently that I actually own more toe-exposing shoes than not... This was of course noticed on a day where my feet were not up to par and I need to keep them hidden until I had time to give myself a pedi!
Thanks for your comments & suggestions for Let's Chat, I'm going to keep the series and would love use your suggestions in the coming weeks. If you have a topic suggestion, please leave it below. Thanks for reading and your support, love you guys!
