Hey spring, thanks for stopping by New York today. I guess you read my post last week! I was thrilled to wake up to low 50′s weather (similar to how a child is thrilled to wake up to snow.) So much so that I decided to take on a Closet Challenge: Out of Season (Wear Spring Now!) I went right for my green patterned dress. I love this dress in

The honest truth, is that sometimes I just don’t feel like over thinking an outfit, dressing up and fussing with lots of accessories. I suppose that is why you follow Practically Spoiled, so I apologize if this post is lackluster. But I figure why not be honest? Why not bear it all, on the internet, in front of strangers, friends and family? Now that I’ve managed your expectations, onto the

I’m gaining winter weight. Ugh. It happens each year like clock work. January hits and all the holidays did was get me craving warm comfort food rather than lean, healthy things like salads and fruits. As my pants are getting tighter I need to remind myself that I’m in a wedding in April and I need to fit into the dress comfort foods don’t have to be covered in cheese

I always get jealous of the fashion bloggers I follow in LA, Texas or anywhere without these cold northeast winters. My jealousy level rises when I see them rocking peep toes in December and dresses sans tights in January. That’s when I begin looking at real estate prices in San Diego… But cold winters or not, I love New York City, so I guess I’ll trade year-round sandals for faux

It seems that the bigger the purse the more I put in it. As the bag gets cluttered and heavy, my shoulders and back start to hurt and I think, “What the heck is in here?” Then I look and wonder why I feel the need to carry around an extra pair of socks, 5 to 6 varieties of gum or breath mints, a bottle of Advil, an array of

If you’re a Practically Spoiled follower, then you’ve probably realized that I’ve been away from blogging for nearly a month now. Why, you ask? Quite frankly, I blame it on winter. It gets dark at 4:30pm, it’s freezing cold outside and all I want to do is dress like an Eskimo, eat mac ‘n’ cheese and watch Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (can you blame a girl for that?) But

This week felt so long, but I’m happy to share some good news with you: It’s (finally) Friday!!! With the thought of two consecutive days off just hours away, I was quite excited. So as a personal celebration, I had some fun with my outfit. (It’s the little things in life…) The outfit began with red denim. I bought these babies with my blue ones (seen here) at Marshalls for

Have you ever woken up and wanted to dress to match the day? I’m not talking about wearing rainboots when it rains or a sun dress when it’s sunny. I mean taking a look outside at the sky, the clouds, the fog, the colors and using it as a basis for your outfit. Well as abstract as that may be, that’s what I did this morning. And today was quite

After a long weekend (filled with shopping and eating leftovers) it was pretty hard to get back in the swing of things. I found my morning routine dragging a bit, so today I reached for an easy outfit composed of basics. I started with all black. A simple black sweater and black tights were my base. I tried on a few skirts in different pattens, colors, etc., but wound up

2011 has been quite a rough year for me in many ways, but despite the bad, there has been some good. I’m very blessed and have a lot to be thankful for this year. To pay homage to all of the things I am thankful for, I assembled a symbolic outfit that I’m wearing this Thanksgiving. No, it’s not a pilgrim or native American costume. Each piece represents something that
