Some days work truly feels like work; And no matter how many pep-talks you give yourself, or how much caffeine you consume, finishing that one task just seems so difficult. 

Today was one of those days. 

However, I've noticed that since sprucing up my home office, I've actually been more productive. Perhaps its the calming colors, or the physical order of the space that calms me and allows me to stay on task. Who knows! Either way, organized and chic is better than chaotic  and bleak! hehe ;)

Have a productive day, Plummies!

On My Radar: Ann Taylor

The other day, I wandered into the mall searching for some new heels. Not just any heels; But some very comfortable, not too tall, easy to walk in, can-go-from-the-office-to-a-cocktail-party kind of heels. 

I had always heard (around the blogosphere) that Ann Taylor's "Perfect Pumps" were the way to go, yet I managed to steer clear of them because quite frankly, I had somehow equated the Ann Taylor brand with an "older", more "mature" woman. In my mind, I was "too young to rock the AT". 

Ummmmm...I was surprised to find that not only are their clothes ah-dorable, but AT's heels were just what I was looking for. I purchased a pair of their "Perfect Patent Pumps" in black.  I can definitely rock them in the office with slacks, as well as with a cute LBD. The kicker, I got them for 30% off because they are currently having a massive sale. Cha-Ching! The Perfect Pumps totally live up to their name. 

Take it from a girl who loves heels, but typically only finds them bare-able for the first hour...AT makes me wanna wear heels on a daily basis! (really.)

The Perfect Bag

People! I hate to get all giddy over material possessions, but would you look at this bag! Like, really...it's kind of everything I was hoping for. 

My typical work day keeps me out of my house from 8am-8pm. I go from seeing clients at the school in the morning til late afternoon, to seeing clients at my office in the evening, with little to no break in-between. So, carrying around my daily essentials is crucial. I need to have my laptop, tons of healthy snacks, and various office supplies and clinical forms on hand. For awhile, I've been lugging around 2 canvas tote bags (not the most polished-looking by any means). Now, I may only need one sleek little bag! 

Cheers to convenience and mobile organization! All you busy, on-the-go ladies know what I mean!

*Also, this could work as a discrete uni-sex diaper bag! (Wow, now I am just getting ahead of myself.)

PS. Happy day of birth to my twin sister and I! Yippy for another year of blessings <3
