The sweetest candle display at Cusp in Georgetown.

Amazing sparkle. [similar reasonably priced option here]

Spotted: Moyna beaded clutches. Yes. Moyna. As they are my namesake I'll take one of each!

The perfect holiday heel.

Winter has arrived in the nation's capitol & while I couldn't be more thrilled for the crisp air, holiday season & smell of log fires drifting through my neighborhood, it also brings  daylight savings. Meaning it gets dark an hour earlier. Meaning my photog & I are chasing the sun on a daily basis in efforts to capture outfit posts. I love you winter however, I'm not thrilled about you stealing my sunlight. It's proven to be a blogging nightmare. Hence, the change of scenery!

Let's get back to [workwear wednesdays], shall we? In my time, I've realized I'd much rather wear dresses than pants [which I'm working on thanks to Cyber Monday] which means tights. Stockings, tights, hos, whichever term you prefer - they are a must in the winter months in a formal & conservative workplace. I know, I know, we can meet for drinks & tell our dark tales about them but there's just no way around this one, ladies.

weekend brunching inspiration

What's more fun than a weekend brunch with the girls? Choosing the outfit, of course. Although it's only Tuesday, I'm already mentally sorting through my closet for the perfect fall pieces. If only all of these fabulous looks could make their way into my wardrobe...

This past Sunday was the most [must needed] lackadaisical day I've had in awhile. Sleeping in, a late breakfast, long walks, a puppy play date, & a stop at my favorite pastry shop in Georgetown were just a few of the things I was able to soak up. So relaxed, in fact, that a bold fall lip seemed like too big of a move to make [the horror, I know]. 

What do you most enjoy on your lazy weekend days?

I'm mildly obsessed with this with this super chic & totally affordable blazer. I blame the sequins.
