Thanks again!Sorry I promise I haven’t forgotten about you, I just haven’t had a minute to post. Here is something that can hopefully tide you over for a little bit (even though it will throw off my timeline later).
?
Monday:?
I wore this great patterned turtleneck tee from Express that has a cutout in the front. It’s really funky and not my style, but I thought I would buy it and actually enjoy it. My jeans are from Delia’s?and my flats are Charlotte Russe. The flats are actually very comfortable considering Charlotte Russe heels are not! I wore my black pearl necklace and my matching bracelet that my dad bought me from a trip. I think it looked pretty good!
?
Tuesday:?
I had a really cool hippie outfit on but I didn’t take any pictures because I won tickets to the Chicago Fire game and went to that instead of blogging (sorry). It was great. I never turn down an opportunity to see Brian McBride – he’s one of my favorite players to EVER play for the U.S. They Fire was playing Pumas and they won 1-0 with a goal from Conde. To be honest, it wasn’t that great of a game until Brian McBride came in in the last 20 minutes. Did he really do anything? No, but I like my players and it makes it more entertaining to see them. I will never forget the 2006 World Cup match against Italy where he got a bloody nose, changed his jersey and came back to keep playing. I think thats enough about soccer for one post though.?
?
Wednesday:?
Today I wore a plum Express turtleneck (surprise), New York and Company Capris and white RocketDog flats. ?I wore a blue Old Navy tanktop underneath and it makes the back of the shirt look really cool don’t you think? I am also wearing a Juicy Couture friendship necklace my friend Y got me for my birthday last year ( I heart her).?
?
Thats all I have for now. Hopefully I can upload my photos from last week (I have a lot) later.?
?
P.s. Congrats to my friend Dina on her engagement!!!!?

xoxo?
Yes… It Is a giant Elmo cake.
I found this at Target and want to hang it up in my closet.
Sorry for not posting outfits this weekend, I have been moving all weekend!
I have been so busy I am posting from the eL today. My friend Amiga (obviously a fake name) has a job interview tomorrow so everyone wish her luck!! So now with the World Cup over I am sad and unsure of what to do with my time. I understand that they can’t have the World Cup every year (it might be considered overkill to other people), but how about every two years? I think that is a fair compromise. I should contact FIFA President Sepp Blatter about that. So I dislike being treated like an idiot and being lied to by a company. Since I am moving I had to transfer my cable and Internet to my new house… Easy peasy right? WRONG! The technician who came out couldn’t do the job on his own, called his supervisor and scheduled an appointment tocome out the next day (Sunday). Sunday comes without a technician. I call and schedule another appointment for Monday. No one came out Monday. I called again today and found out that they put in tickets but that doesn’t guarantee they will come out. They will be here Thursday supposedly but we will see. Anyway, here are my outfits for the last few days. I’m sorry I do not have an outfit from yesterday (Monday) because I fell asleep before I had a chance to snap a photo. Thursday I wore this lace turtleneck from Express in dark gray. As many of you probably know (or will learn) I LOVE Express turtleneck tees. They are a staple in my wardrobe and can be dressed up or down. I am wearing jeans from Delia’s and my Aldo sandals.Little known fact: I like sailor themed outfits. They are fun and always cute. Friday I decided to wear a sailor themed outfit since I hadn’t put one together in a long time. My blue and white striped dress is from Express and I paired it with a thick red belt. I also chose to wear white tights and white flats to keep it appropriate for the office. Thanks to my coworker for taking this photo of me. To top off my outfit I put on a silver key necklace I bought while in Brasil and my Betsey Johnson Fleur De Lis earrings (not pictured). Yes I know I look a little chunky in this photo but I wanted to show you the full outfit.
Sunday I had a wedding for my friend Y’s cousin. The below photo has my eyes closed but you can see the beauty of my outfit regardless. My amazing green dress is by London Times and I decided to pair it with gold accessories. My gold gladiator heels we purchased from Aldo (on sale) and though they aren’t in this photo I had a gold clutch from Express and wore real gold jewelry. I even wore my favorite gold piece, my kef. It’s an Arabic piece of jewelry that has a bracelet connected to a ring. If you want an awkward vision think of those people who have nose rings connected to their earrings. It’s like that — but not. My mother gave it to me for my 15th birthday and I just started wearing it again.
That’s all I got for today. Did you like my outfits?

Here’s my world cup recap!?
?
Spain Wins! Spain Wins! Spain Wins!!!!!?
?
I’m sad that David Villa didn’t score another goal and got subbed out of the game, but they won.?
?
I had to watch part of the game at home, part at the salon, listen to it on ESPN Radio and read the play by play on my cell phone..?
?
but I got through it and i know it’ll be on On Demand so I can rewatch it as often as I like!?
?
Yay Spain for winning! I’m very happy, they deserve it.?
My friend Dina told me this little gem today and I had to share!?

hahaha. I love our weird conversations..?
WARNING: This is mostly a soccer post.
So I can’t believe the World Cup FINAL match is on Sunday. I have been
waiting impatiently for four years for the World Cup. It’s a really
big deal to me obviously.
I have thrown all my support behind David Villa and Espana. Yes, I
admit it- I’m holding a grudge against the Dutch. I don’t want them to
win because they sent home my team (Brasil). No I am not dumb, Brasil
is actually correctly spelled with an S not a Z. Anyway, I still hold
a grudge against France from 2006 and was happy to see how quickly
they went home. The pitch isn’t a place for Divas so France and
(though I hate to admit it) England needed to go home and remember
what it means to play in a World Cup.
It is weird because I have been thinking of the last Cup lately and
how different everything is. I was going into my second year of
college and watched almost every game at my patents store. I would ask
my mom to take me so I wouldn’t sleep through the morning games. I
used to think about waiting another four years for Brasil to be on top
again and how different life would be for me in four years. Would I be
happy? Working in PR? Would I still have the same friends? My life is
different than I expected, but still the same. It’s strange and I wish
I could explain more.
Either way, I hope Espana rocks this final, at the very least David
Villa deserves it (even if he does play for Barcelona). So on Sunday I
will be unreachable by phone, email or text, will sport my Real Madrid
jersey and hopefully will be celebrating all day.
Who are you rooting for on Sunday?

Hello Everyone! As a prelude let me just tell you I am updating from my phone so excuse spelling errors — my phone can’t catch everything.
I have photos to share today! But first let me update you on my Fourth of July weekend. We had a barbeque at our new house on Sunday even though we aren’t moved in yet. I didn’t have work on Monday and my mom, sister and I went to Ikea. There were so many people there I couldn’t believe it! I have never been there so it was interesting. We didn’t even get to the furniture upstairs because we HAD to leave. I feel like I am about to start a new chapter in my life. My internship is almost over, I’m moving and my birthday is coming up soon. My cousins should be coming back from the Middle East soon as well and I’m really excited! I haven’t seen them in months so it will be nice. Anyways… So let’s see first was my maxi from Friday! Yes, I did it and actually wore a long dress. It’s super nice and I actually got it from JCPenney last year but never wore because I have an irrational dislike of long casual dresses. The top was slightly inappropriate for the office so I had to put a shirt on under it. I wore an owl necklace from Charlotte Russe and my Aldo gladiator sandals (not pictured).I didn’t bother to take pictures this weekend because my outfits were tshirts and capris everyday and I didn’t have 2 minutes to take a photo.
My sister purchases these amazing sandals from Discovery and I absolutely had to wear them on Tuesday. In case you can’t see them in the photo, they have little golden balls on them and a scrunchie slingback. I worked my entire outfit around them. I wore a gold tanktop that I think I purchased from JC Penney a couple years ago and pull out every so often. I wore dark jeans from Delia’s (of course). I obviously could not wear a tank top to work so I covered up with a purple shrug I got from the Middle East. I complimented it with purple circle earrings (they are circles not hoops) and my Juicy charm bracelet.
Today I decided to go a traditionally fashionable route and based my outfit on Jackie O or for those who don’t know that’s Jackie Kennedy. Yes, I did explain to my coworker that I was talking about Jackie Kennedy when I said Jackie O.
I wore a black and white dress from Forever 21 with white flats (not shown sorry but I’ll take a picture of them eventually). I wore a white tank top under the dress to cover up the slit inthe front. I also chose to wear my real pearl necklace and bracelet but put on these little flower earrings (not pictured). I have had them so long I have no idea where I got them.
What did you do or wear for the Fourth?
