Happy Friday lovelies! This week has gone by SO slowly. Maybe it's because I was working while the rest of the state had Monday off, or maybe because the recent weather makes it feel like we are back in Winter. Whatever the reason, I'm so excited that Friday has finally arrived!!

Viva Las Vegas

Hi! Happy Almost Friday! Does anyone else feel like Winter has lasted forever? I can't wait for it to finally warm up in Boston so I can wear a dress without tights. I would like to apologize in advance to everyone I could potentially blind with my pale legs. Sorry, but these puppies haven't seen the sun since my trip to Kauai. Oh well, for now I will continue to dream about warmer days while I sit bundled up in bed browsing Pinterest!

see-through

Okay, so you know when you see something at the store and you just gotta have it? Well this Free People shirt was one of those items for me. As we all know, I LOVE button down shirts, and this oversize see-through one needed to join my collection.

looking forward

Happy April lovelies! I sincerely apologize for the radio silence over here in S+W land.

chasing the horizon

What do you do when you think you've reached the horizon? Keep on going, my friend.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!! I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing weekend!

Hi friends!! Long time no chat! My (super awesome) roommate reminded me this morning that this weekend is daylight savings, and it's time to spring ahead. I can't believe it! Goodbye Winter, hello Spring!

Uniquely You

Hi lovelies! I'm really excited to tell you about ModCloth's Uniquely You campaign. Each week, ModCloth asks a group of bloggers to style a particular article of clothing or accessory with seven other pieces sold on their site. This week's item is this simple, yet chic dress. 

leather essential

Every fashion magazine, blog, and website will tell you that a leather jacket is a must have for every woman's closet, but finding the perfect one can be challenging. There are so many choices: real vs faux, edgy vs classic, black vs color, and the list goes on. Who is overwhelmed with the crazy amount of choices? This girl is!

Hi lovelies! It's snowing in Boston, again! I know, big surprise...not. I hope you all enjoyed your three day weekend, and of course, took advantage of the President's Day sales!

garage band

There's nothing like an extremely well lit parking garage to make even a simple outfit feel cool and badass. Unfortunately, I can't take credit for this genius location. Although I like to think that I'm the brains behind most great ideas, this one was all Paul. :)

houndstooth

Just stopping by to say a quick hello! I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing weekend. I spent Saturday running errands and spending time with two of my favorite people, Tara and Jill! Oh, and I FINALLY tried bareMinerals makeup! I'm completely in love with it! Note to self: start working on a beauty product review series. :) 

hello weekend

Happy Weekend everyone!! I don't have much to say except that this was a pretty good week. It feels nice to eat delicious food again and to get back to yoga. I'm feeling pretty darn sore and I'm loving it! I really do think that my body is already starting to change. I mean, who doesn't want to feel stronger and more toned? I'm hoping all of this yoga will make me more graceful and less of a klutz. Fingers crossed!!

snow wellies

Happy Thursday! In case you missed it, yesterday Boston was transformed into a Winter Wonderland, and I loved every second of it! Okay, so maybe not every second of it; waiting for what seemed like eternity for my bus to arrive was less than enjoyable, but nobody likes to be stuck out in the cold, right?!

in the mix

Hi, hi! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I heard the weather in Boston was quite lovely this weekend. I say "heard" because instead of enjoying the weekend, I spent the whole time in bed/on the couch recovering from a stomach virus. Although it wasn't pleasant being sick and not eating real food, I'm glad I took the two days to sleep and recover. I don't like going to the doctor's office or taking sick days from work, but sometimes I have to give in and listen to my body. But not to worry! I'm feeling quite chipper now and I'm back to my normal routine!

hello weekend

Hiiii!! I'm so excited it's finally the weekend! This week has been like every other week in January: absolutely freezing! On the plus side, we did have lots of blue skies and sun this week! The sun always makes me happy. On a different note, can you believe that tomorrow marks the first day of February?! This means Valentine's Day is right around the corner! Do you already have any plans for Valentine's Day?

simplicity

Hello there and Happy Monday! I hope you all had a lovely and (if possible) warm weekend! 

hello weekend

Happy weekend lovelies! In case you didn't already know, it's FREEZING in Boston!! I've started lingering in bed longer in the morning because the mere thought of waiting outside for the bus makes me chilly. Oh! Also, I've mastered the art of becoming a turtle. Yes, you heard me right! I wrap my Zara blanket scarf around my neck, and then lower my head down into the scarf like a turtle going into its shell. Don't ask me why or how I started calling this my turtle mode because I have no idea. Let's just blame it on the cold getting to my brain!

seven seas

Happy Wednesday lovelies! This is definitely more edgy than my other outfits, but you know what? I'm really loving it! There's nothing like a leather jacket to make you feel like a badass.

sleepyhead

I've been running on very little sleep lately, and this dreary New England weather is making it nearly impossible to fake being bright and chipper. Soon my coffee induced alertness will fail me, and the inevitable crash from sleep deprivation will occur. Here's to hoping it happens when I'm in close proximity to my comfy bed, and not on public transportation of any sort! The last thing I need is to be woken up by a stranger after sleeping through my stop. Yikes!

hello weekend

Hello!! I couldn't be happier that the weekend is finally here! How was your week? Mine was really busy, but very productive! I even managed to squeeze in some yoga classes. Even though I fit in three classes this week, I'm already feeling a little stronger and rejuvenated, but of course a little sore. It's a good sore though! The kind that makes you excited to workout even more. You know what I mean, right? Although this was a pretty good week, I'm definitely ready for some "me time" and fun this weekend! Do you have anything exciting planned?

happy (belated) hat day

Happy belated Hat Day everyone! My sincerest apologies for not acknowledging the holiday when it actually happened (January 15th), but I truthfully did not know such a holiday existed. I'm all for celebrating every day, but wow, it's hard to keep track of them!

110 in 1,100

As you all know, I love making lists! I find the act of listing to be soothing, stress relieving, and one of the few ways to sort through all of the crazy yet exciting thoughts that constantly dance around my mind. Inspired by both a favorite blogger of mine, Mackenzie, the creator of Design Darling, and one of my all time favorite movies, A Walk to Remember, I decided to forgo a traditional list of resolutions in favor of making a bucket list of sorts. But unlike a bucket list, my list is designed to be completed in a little over 3 years; 1,100 days to be exact! The amount of things I want to accomplish and places I want to visit is endless and always changing, so for now I have drawn up a list of 110 experiences, places, and things that I want to complete in the next 1,100 days. 

plaid addiction

Hi, my name is Kimiko and I'm addicted to all things plaid. If you have a similar addiction or would like to become a plaid addict, then you've come to the right place! :)

hello weekend

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful and warm week. Warm? Ha! A girl can dream, right? I don't know about where you were, but in Boston this week was FREEZING, and I tried to spend as much time inside as possible. No amount of layers could prevent me from turning into an icicle the second I stepped outside. Brrrrr! I'm ready to say au revoir to the polar vortex! 

the best-laid plans

Happy Thursday/Almost Friday/First Outfit Post of 2014!

Happy Tuesday lovelies!

goodbye 2013, hello 2014

Happy New Year everyone!! I hope you all had a wonderful New Year's Eve. My night was very mellow, which was exactly what I needed! Here's a quick look back at 13 of my favorite outfits from 2013!!

coffee break // new year, new resolutions

This post was supposed to go up earlier, but the other night I got into a fight with the staircase at home, and needless to say, the stairs and the marble floor at the bottom of them won. My head and body were just not quite ready to do much of anything, let alone blog. :)
