Decked in Theory

May 3, 2013 by Lauren Leave a Comment

Happy happy happy Friday! Geeze it’s been a long week.

A large portion of my wardrobe includes Theory mainly because of my Mother. She is the Theory representative at Saks Fifth Avenue and always picks out the cutest pieces for me. A few months back I was leaving on business travel and I mentioned I had nothing to wear for my meetings. She picked out the Theory top below, wrapped it up, and had it ready for me to pick up on my way to the airport. Now that’s what I call the best Mom ever! She is so knowledgeable about the line and has such a passion for what she does.

I wore this outfit to work the other day. I love how this peplum top fits me. It’s a trendy yet conservative enough for the office. I got a TON of compliments on it from my co-workers. The pants I am wearing are a great staple for the office. They are navy skinny dress pants also by Theory.

It was my second day in Barcelona and I knew I was going to be doing a lot of walking. I made sure to wear comfortable shoes and loose clothing for walking around. It was a bit chilly so I wore my leather jacket and scarf to keep me warm. With in between weather in the 40′s and 50′s, the key is layering.

As I mentioned in my last post, I studied abroad in Barcelona back in 2007- my junior year of college. It was so cool to visit my brother who is studying there right now. As soon as we arrived I felt back at home for except I completely forgot how to navigate the city. I had no problem taking the metro (their underground subway) but finding my way around again was more challenging than I thought. One minute I thought I knew exactly where I was and then realized I was walking in the wrong direction. I even had a hard time finding my old apartment! Although it was the first time in 7 years that I’ve been back it was weird that I forgot how to get around the city I once lived in.

Have you ever gone back to visit a city you once lived in and got completely lost? I hope that doesn’t happen to me when I go back to visit IU!

Must Have Monday: Texts from Jan

December 5, 2011 by Lauren 3 Comments

After many months of hassling my computer illiterate Mother (aka Jan) to guest post on Newtrition, I decided to take this matter into my own hands and post the photos she has sent me via text over the past month.

As most of you know my Mom is a personal shopper and stylist at Saks Fifth Avenue. I completely rely on her for all things fashion. Pretty much Jan will send me a text message with an article of clothing she thinks I will like.

99% of the time I usually want it and tell her to charge it to my account. Ok, ok, I don’t have an account but it’s our little inside joke which turns into me writing her a big fat check.

Not only do I plan to purchase or really really want to purchase these items, but they are also some of the hottest fashion items for winter. Sharing is caring.

Theory Crushed Velvet Blazer

I got this blazer to wear to work. It’s perfect for the winter!
