Just a quick weekend update post since my posting has been all over the place this week! As you read in my last post, I was having major computer issues. I took my computer to the Microsoft store (which, BTW, has amazing customer service) and they told me that the hard drive was not the problem, it was the OS that crashed. So I’m going to retrieve my data to load onto my new computer.
I bit the bullet and got a MacBook Air. I wanted a super lightweight, super fast machine that was easy to use for what I needed it for (blogging, photos, video). It should be here in the next week or so. I haven’t purchased a new laptop in about 7 years so it was great to hear from everyone in my last post about their Mac experiences.
Here are a few snapshots from my weekend:
Our gorgeous Restoration Hardware Flatiron Collection dining table arrived—but it had a strange black tar stain on it (the tissue shows some pieces I was able to get off). It’s a very small area, but you can still see it since the wood is so light (and once you notice it, you can’t stop noticing it, sigh). Luckily, our RH rep is amazing and he is having them send us a replacement table (should have it in a week or so). I’ve kind of already gotten attached to this one, but when you pay so much for a table it really should be without flaws and the black stuff can’t be completely removed. I will take photos when our new one is here. It’s such a gorgeous piece and works perfectly in the space.
My hair is starting to fade again—but I kind of like how it all blends together. I think next time I’ll dye the roots darker again and get more ombre (lighter color) towards the ends. I wanted to post a more true to life picture since in my outfit photos my hair looks a lot darker than it really is due to having to adjust the exposure and color of my photos. The photo above was not adjusted at all.
And here are my new J.Crew ballerina flats I wore to work Friday. I had to use some of my Stiletto Hardware insoles in them (thank you Kelly!) but they fit perfect with the inserts. Size down in these ones.
My Saturday morning started off with a workout with my trainer.This photo makes me realize I need to self-tan. My workout most definitely involved my friend and I lifting and flipping over a massive black tire 30 times. What a way to kick-start our weekend!
Here I am right before heading out to have my laptop looked at. For some reason I hated everything this weekend, clothing wise, and so I went for a super loose, super comfy, off-the-shoulder top.
IN LOVE with these bracelets sent to me by one of my readers, Rachel. She also sent me a gold one which I will show you all soon! I love this double-decker bracelet…perfect arm candy for your work week or weekend—and super affordable too. You can check out Rachel’s Etsy shop, Amour Couture, here.
My weekend finished off with a lazy Sunday— I got a (much needed) pedicure, went grocery shopping and got some new underwear at Victoria’s Secret—they let me use 3 coupons so I paid for 3 pairs (the lacie) and got 3 pairs for free of the low-rise lace hip-huggers! Score! Thank you VS 🙂
Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!
I love the shorts & loose off the shoulder top combos – perfect relaxed weekend look! I especially love the one with the pink stripes – where is it from? If you don't mind me asking! Glad you have your Macbook on it's way as well 🙂
I commented earlier this week as I had just gotten an Air too. But forgot to mention that you might also want to look into getting a case if you ever plan on taking it out of the house. I got the Speck purple satin case. It comes with a one year warrenty and will help protect the alumium on the Air. Even just taking it out on our deck and putting it on the outdoor table, I'm glad to have that extra protection. You don't want your pretty Air to get all scratched up! 😉
@jayne— the pink and white top is from last summer from American Eagle 🙂
JCHokie- I am looking for a case right now 🙂
I just got the MacBook air two wks ago and love it, great choice! Also agreen get a snap in hard case for it, not a sleeve. Thing is too $$$ to bang up! I got one on amazon for like $20.
You always looks so cute- even when you go to the gym. I love my MacBook. I am sure that you'll love yours! It does take some getting used to at first, if you're not used to Macs…but once you go Mac, you never go back. 😉

Oh wow, gorgeous bracelets!
And.. ahha, lifting tires? Are you doing CrossFit by chance?

@Rubiiee- nope, just seeing a personal trainer 🙂
Love your pink & white striped shirt (was just going to ask where it's from – so happy to see you already answered that!) and the loose shirt that you're wearing in the laptop photo. I need to find some comfy shirts to wear!
I think your hair in that picture is perfect — well blended and the difference in the lightest and darkest colors is right on.
Love the casual outfits. Where is the 1st top from? (short sleeves)
Beautiful in all the pictures, Im also loving the pictures!
I hope you like your new Mac!!! I'm thinking of maybe getting one when my pc is not working anymore…but they are kinda pricey =X

Adorable as always! Congrats on the new computer and welcome to the dark side! What pants are you wearing in the first outfit picture? I'm looking for some legging like pants to wear on a long flight, and those are quite cute!
Lovely pictures! Adore all of your outfits 🙂
So sorry to hear about the table! In an unrelated question, are you still liking the Kerastase Bain Cristal shampoo? I am really interested in trying it but am worried that it might fade my hair color since it contains sulfates.

Just found your blog, where is the green paisley shirt from?
I just found your blog and I was wondering where the green paisley shirt was from? Thanks

Hi Veronika! I have to say, I've been reading your blog posts for a few months and I love all of it! I've honestly never reached out to read any blogs of any kind, but after numerous searches leading me right to yours, I'm hooked! Whether its fashion, product reviews, home goods, I have thoroughly enjoyed everything and I appreciate you style, taste, and input! I can say when it comes to a lot of things we share similar tastes and it is SO nice to have somewhere to go when I need advice or some inspiration!
Thank you again & keep up the great work 🙂
