Don't forget to enter my big giveaway HERE! And can I just say how much fun it has been reading about everyone's geeky secrets? You guys are amazing!

Last weekend, my brother finished building my brand spanking new computer. If you don't remember, the Great Wine Spill of 2010 rendered my old laptop relatively useless. Sigh. But it was time to let go anyways, and ooo, and my new desktop unit is sexy, readers. It's got a 23" monitor, lightening-fast speed, and 596 GB of hard drive space. 596 GB! Coming from a laptop that had a measly 70 GB worth of space, this is like upgrading from Long John Silver's to beluga caviar. True story. I have a feeling blogging will be a much easier task now that Photoshop will no longer take 45 minutes to, you know, open. Excited!

Boy oh boy am I ever excited to bust out these adorable little heels again after its winter hibernation. I got them from the JCA Exchange last year and tramped around in them like nobody's business, despite the fact that the heel straps are a wee bit too loose. Maybe it's time I got those things adjusted.

  1. Sweet outfit – and I admire your wearing the shoes for a normal day...I never wear nice dress shoes unless it's a super fancy occasion, which is a total waste. The mix of casual crops with the shoes is really nice here.

  2. gahhh, I almost bought that Loft top a few months ago, now I'm regretting it :( I love how it looks with the DVF jacket...

    I've been rockin a side braid a lot recently, but maybe I'll switch it up to pigtails, you look adorable (and totes not in a childish way)

  8. You look so cute today, omg! Love the hair, it's way too adorable. And the outfit. And your necklace that I've been trying to find a suitable knockoff of for the past several weeks. Love this look!!!

  9. Aww... you look so cute! I adore those shoes! I can't run photoshop on my mac. It kills my computer. I have a 300 GB disk in my laptop, but it just store music. (Steve and I combined have over 500 GB of music). I'm thinking a new laptop might be in the future for me especially if I ever want to play with editing my photos. I got a trial version of Aperture I still need to try out.

  10. Congrats on the new computer! This is waaaaaay back in the day now, but it is funny to think back to my first computer ever, which was a 486 with WordPerfect! How far we've come. 1mb used to be BIG SPACE!

    You look great today, BTW, I do adore those shoes.

  15. Those shoes are adorable. You have great style. I would have never paired everything with those pants but I like it.

  16. Congrats on your new computer! It sounds super powerful, very exciting.

    Love how you paired the very ladylike shoes with tougher pieces--the military jacket and dark skinnies are the perfect contrast.

  17. Your haiiiir! I would do mine like that if I wouldn't look like a student. Funny story: I am now THE TEACHER THAT WILL BRAID YOUR HAIR. Every white girl asks me every day to braid her hair into french braided pigtails. Luckily, there are only a dozen of them or so. I have girls who aren't even my students asking for it! Geeze!

    Anyway, I love your top- is it recent? You are ten million bundles of adorbs today.
