July 14, 2010: Rain Drops Keep Falling On My Head

Yesterday's overcast state was just a preview of today's mess. The continuous and unrelenting rainfall adds an extra challenge to getting dressed this morning since I have work, a big presentation, and reservations for dinner with BF (who continued my culinary adventure and made me lasagna last night. Yum!) at The Russian Tea Room with no time to stop at home and change. Normally, that would mean a casual yet chic jersey knit dress but, in this weather I'd rather not. What is a girl to do? Enter classy black pants! These are the same kind of pants from New York and Company that shrink (and I am still going to fix) except for the black ones, wierd...

• Top: pink dipdye sleeveless blouse, Trulli for LOFT
• Bottom: black knit pants, New York and Company
• Shoes & Accessories: black pumps, Steve Madden; coin pearl necklace, V'ta; coin pearl earrings, mom then modified; silver L.A.M.B bag via Loehmann's

July 13, 2010: Sky Might Fall

Asia de Cuba was delicioso, as expected! If you can get a reservations during NYC Restaurant Week I highly recommend it. The next stop on our culinary adventure is The Russian Tea Room tomorrow night. I've never been there before but, I hear great things and am excited to try it out.

It is crazy overcast outside today but, still hot and humid. There are supposed to be thunderstorms all day and I am just waiting for it to start. Hopefully I can get to work before that happens, since I'm running late that might not happen...

• Top: purple ruffled sleeveless top, New York and Company with a tank top underneath for the modesty
• Bottom: black and white tweed pants, Mandee
• Shoes & Accessories: black Dolce Vita sandals, via Nordstrom (similar here); coin pearl/stone necklace and coin pearl earrings, borrowed from mom; gray Balenciaga Le-Dix/motorcycle bag
