You know you need a vacation when…

Between the cold/warm/completely unpredictable weather and a long string of 14-hour work days, I'm starting to feel like it's time for a break. What does it mean when you start plotting devious ways to break into the CDC in order to contract the Ebola virus just so you have an excuse to stay home and get some rest?

Shirt, Express; trousers, asos.com; shoes, Giuseppe Zanotti; Indian bridal necklace, bombayfashions.com; vintage earrings and pendant necklace.

Got Em!

Due to a larger than expected bonus, I took the unrequited shoe yearning as a sign rather than a test, and bought the slightly trashy, over-the-top, waaayyy out of my budget shoes I'd been obsessing about.Buyer's remorse?  Not even a little bit. Have you ever been unsure about a purchase? Did you regret it or did it work out for the best?
