weekend

via

• I made coffee every morning and felt good to wake up early to the aroma of brewing java...this week, we've been enjoying Peet's Coffee  
• I read my all time favorite book East of Eden and nearly finished it, but I can never get enough of this classic, it's a book of life - so many great lessons and thoughts to ponder about...I love it!
• Finally, went to the post office and mailed our long-overdue Christmas and birthday gifts to both of our families...
  
• Renewed our apartment lease for another year and scored a free carpet cleaning!
• Browsed through shelves of World Market and ended up with Biscoff cookies, which taste delicious with my morning coffee as I type this...
• Next in my agenda, is a trip to Trader Joe's....very exciting, right?!

What were some of the highlights of your weekend?

Soft greys and lots of coffee...

{ 2}

Today is such a grey and gloomy day out that it will take me not one but two cups of coffee to stay awake...

In honor of my beloved color, I am posting this collage of my favorite shades of grey...hope your Monday feels brighter than mine at the moment...

Keep it simple...

{1,2,3}

I've been trying to keep it simple when it comes to my outfits recently.  And I've even managed to streamline my morning makeup routine to just tinted moisturizer, eyeliner and mascara - a much-needed time saving solution to my stressful mornings. I wear mostly neutral colors, such as beige, grey and cream and accessorizing with chunky scarves. For a pop of color, I paint my nails with dark maroon nail polish to add some brightness to my neutral outfits.  I hope these pictures inspire you to doll up in cozy/stylish outfits that can bring comfort and confidence to your gloomy days at work (or maybe not so gloomy days, depending on where you are).
