My life in reverse: week 3

Bonjour and happy Monday! Monday's are starting to become one of my favorite days of the week particularly because I get to share some awesome moments with you from the previous week. As you can see this blog is evolving a bit and becoming just as much about me as it is about the MME brand, but I've been keeping a secret...and it's a big one a huge one! I promise in just a few weeks I'll be ready to share all of the awesome details that are happening behind the scene at MME, and in the meantime I hope you enjoy learning just a little bit more about me.

Back in the day (meaning during college), I worked as a retail associate for companies like Brooks Brothers, Ann Taylor, and Ann Klein. Looking back that was such an amazing experience and one of the lessons that I took away was that every piece you wear should say something about you and your style.  My style is sophisticated yet youthful and flattering to my shape, but playful enough that it can go from work to cocktails.  I love high heals (you know the super high ones) but I tend to rock a kitten heal and a peep toe as much as possible and I save my high heals for those really special occasions. I don't buy a ton of jewelry, I have what I love and I work with it and it is fabulous!

So here it is, this is what I wore for my 31st birthday dinner with the beau. Simple-Chic-and I will wear the heck out of this tulle skirt!

Skirt: Anthropology 

Shirt: Ann Taylor

Shoes: White House Black Market

Belt: Ann Taylor

Earrings: Ann Taylor

How cute is the back of this shirt? Absolutely love the low back!

Hello Sparkly belt...

Here's a little snap shot of my favorite jewelry, and while I do have a pretty mirrored case for it it's nice to put it in a little something different from time to time.  

My life in reverse-week 2

I loved every single second of last week, and I'm finally starting to feel comfortable picking up my camera and taking pictures.  Last week was filled with yummy food (some of which was even healthy!), lots of camera time, and even a little design time dedicated to our new bedroom.  The biggest news of the week, I finally got rid of my "carry" couch aka my sex and the city couch.  A few years ago when I was entering adult hood...ok more than a few years ago but please humor me, it was my first piece of furniture.  My girlfriends and I would pile on the "carry" couch watching endless episodes of sex and the city, eating pizza, and drinking lots and lots of red wine. It was the best time of my life, but that couch started to see better days and as we got older my "carry" couch seemed more like my ill-fitting college jeans than the beloved couch I used to know.  I no longer blogged on it yelling out carry quotes like "if women were ready, then what are we waiting for"? It was time, and for $50 bucks out it went!


Now let's talk bedroom design!  Now that we are "moving on up" and getting a king sized bed that means an overhaul of new bedding. I absolutely have color commitment, and I need to be able to change things up every couple of months to keep things fresh.  I went with a black & white color palette and a few romantic pieces like mercury glass vases, black frames, gray throw pillows, and even a mirrored jewelry chest.  Here's how I'll put it all together, I'll start with sheets (likely a bright color, perhaps even a purple), euro pillows, standard pillows, a light quilt, a comforter which has been covered by one of these beautiful duvets, and finish with throw pillows.  It's going to be beautiful!

Ok lovelies enjoy a few of my favorite pics/moments from the week!

My life in reverse: week 1

Last week was busy, bananas! Monday and Tuesday I spent the day around so many great minds in Rhode Island and the rest of the week was so busy I could hardly keep my head on straight. Even with the busy/crazy life I had last week it really was a blast, I have the greatest of friends who make sure that we're living life through experiences and not just reading about them.  I've come to the realization that I'm probably never going to be an every day blogger, but I am going to be an every day doer-believer-dreamer. Living a part of my life away from pins, tweets, likes, and updates doesn't mean that I'm not doing anything awesome, it just means that I'm too busy living in an amazing moment!

So here it is friends, my first post in a new series that you'll see every Monday, my life in reverse. Some of my favorite moments last week, a lot of fabulous outfits, yummy cocktails, and even a painting project I did Saturday afternoon (yay stress reliever!).
