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 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

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

I’m happy to participate in my first Bloggers Do It Better assignment. (Have no idea what I’m talking about? Check out Bloggers Do It Better at Pretty Shiny Sparklyby clicking on the shiny new badge in the right sidebar.) Cadette Kelly reporting for BDIB: Military Chic! When I was planning my military chic outfit (at oh-seven-hundred-hours this morning, in my closet), I realized I had quite a few pieces that

I’m still sick (since last Tuesday.) I finally went to the doctor today and got some meds, so hopefully I’ll kick this soon. I should have stayed home, but I went into work today. Why, you ask? Well because today is the Rebecca Minkoff VIP Sample Sale and no cold, infection or sickness will make me miss that. And I couldn’t go if I didn’t go to work. Partially because

I’m still recovering from my cold earlier this week, so I’ve been happy that the weather has been on the warm side here in NYC. As much as I love layering for cooler weather, it’s nice to simply throw on two pieces that make a good outfit, rather than four (or more.) If you saw my Old Navy Haul then you know exactly where this outfit came from. I’m a
