Bonjour, darlings! I hope that this weekend has been serving you well. Mine has been pretty low key, which is a nice change from the past few crazy-holiday-consumed weekends.
There have been some fun happenings, though, such as a trip into the city on Friday and a shopping-filled Saturday with Amanda. And along the way, I was lucky enough to have run-ins with some of my not so guilty pleasures.
For example, neutral tones might be what’s “in” these days, but I will always be partial to wearing head-to-toe black. Maybe being a New Yorker really is my destiny…?
Vintagey lace-up boots are another trend as of late, but I’ll sport my straight-out-of-the-90’s combats with pride.
“Food labeling” is a big no-no, but I have no problem with cookies = breakfast.
(Those would be white chocolate and date-filled Super Charge Me Cookies. Yum!)
Feeding a shoe addiction without remorse? Don’t mind if I do. Two pairs for a total of $38. BOOyah.
I am not ashamed that I really do love the first Twilight movie. And all of the books, for that matter.
(K-Stew and R-Patz, though? I could do without.)
I’ve gotten dinner from the Whole Foods salad bar three times last week. I guess you could say I’m making up for lost time, and enjoying every bite of it.

Dressing in head-to-toe black is great in the winter months. I’m a fan!
Also, the Whole Foods bar is definitely one of my not so guilty pleasures. It’s just soo good.

TJ Maxx! I could spend all day in TJ Maxx.
Harry Potter movies. The husband and I always throw one on if there is nothing on tv.
Also, Smuckers Natural Peanut butter. I put it on everything. Bread, apples, carrots, celery etc.
Love that outfit! You look so so stylish! =) My guilty pleasure would also have to be watching episodes of saved by the bell. You can never get enough of that show!!
That outfit is too cute! I love it!
PS - I feel like I haven’t been to WF in forever! Ugh! 😛
Shoe same = nonexistent. I love shopping for shoes with no regret. It’s a great feeling to score a deal on them. Oh, and the Whole Foods salad bar? Definitely LOVE it! Such variety and excellent quality.
M says
I love your outfit! Are those skinny pants or leggings? What’s the brand?
Thanks!
M
Hey M! They’re actually just super-tight black pants. The have an elastic waist, but the material is almost dress pants-like! I got them at Forever 21, but it was last year :/
Shoes and good wine are my guilty pleasures!
The Real Housewives. I call them guilty, but in reality I feel no guilt whatsoever in making myself feel better about their lives while making fun of theirs. Hey, they do it to themselves…
And dark chocolate. It’s health food in my book
Um so I freakin LOVE those flats!
Kara says
Those shoes are awesome, where did you score them for that price??
My not so guilty pleasures?
Jersey Shore
Bridalplasty (I know, I know, but it’s so funny to watch)
Eating chocolate after breakfast (you know, after you get your metabolism started, right?)
Going to bed at 9pm
Wow, I sound like a wild woman, ha!
Macy’s clearance section!
Amanda says
You have received more LIKES in one day than I have in a month!! Good job Gracie! I officially Liked ya!
Melie says
I always wear head to toe black! Should I feel embarrassed? Or maybe I should just move to NYC as well!
Agreed. Loved the books, but the movies = no bueno! My not-so-guilty pleasure is peanut flour from TJ’s! It’s a diamond in the rough because I don’t have a TJ’s nearby. My friends import them from New Jersey:)
Slash I love eating cookies for breakfast..I have some orange-cranberry ones in the freezer:) But other than that, I love watching Jersey Shore when I workout. It’s fine.
My current not-so-guilty pleasures include:
Trader Joe’s, the Black Eyed Peas, leggings and tights, and anthropologie.
K says
Ditto on the Whole Foods situation — had it for lunch yesterday and couldn’t have been happier! YUM!
ALso — I love me some gum balls from quarter machines. It brings out my innter 4 year old
I am SO with you on the gum balls…I rarely can ever pass by the machines without getting one
Awesome deal on the shoes! I love both pairs!
My not so guilty pleasure right now is buying too many magazines. They’re such a waste of money, but I love reading them!
Oh, I’m 100% with you on Whole Foods, Twilight and shoes. Lemme see, my other not so guilty pleasures: La Croix, Lifetime movies, online shopping and Trader Joe’s mac & cheese!
I have lots of not so guilty pleasures, including watching old tv shows from my childhood on Sunday afternoons (today I am watching Who’s the Boss?), reading fashion magazines and US Weekly, and getting flavored coffee from Dunkin Donuts every Friday morning before work.
I ADORE your outfit! I was not expecting the combat boots (I didn’t notice them in the full size picture), but when you showed the zoomed in picture, i was in love with the outfit! Very New Yorker!
I wish we had a Whole Foods in my city, I see so many pictures of bloggers assembled salad, and they all look delicious. So jealous.
I was actually wearing mary-jane-like wedges in the full picture, but I carried them in my bag that day (for an afternoon job-related thing) while rocking the combats 😉 The combats pretty much served as my snow boots, haha!
Not so guilty pleasures? Hm… watching Sex and the City while I lift weights, Amy’s frozen burritos, decaf coffee…lol As far Guilty pleasures? Spartacus: Blood and Sand. I’m almost ashamed to admit I watch and enjoy it!
Cute combat boots! Back in the early 00’s, I had these brown lace-up boots with little blinking lights on them that lit up when you walked. Oh yeah. I was cool.
blinking lights?! hahah!! where in the world did you find those?
Oh, lord…I have no idea.
Wal-Mart?
I love those shoes! What a bargain!
Lets see…guilty pleasures? My coffee addiction, my inability to go to a mall without going into J.Crew, a serious love of Big Red gum, and the new Nikki Minaj song Roaman’s Revenge (I hate that I love it!)
Omgosh! I wish we had a whole foods around here! The nearest one is like 30 minutes from my house!! :/
Apple addiction, baking messes.
Jessica @ Jessica Balances says
I wear all black most of the time, too!
My not-so-guilty pleasures include JERSEY SHORE!!!, terrible horror movies (I own the Scream trilogy and can’t wait for the 4th one to come out this spring) and Panera. I loooove Panera. Just ate it, in fact.
Love the Twilight books! They are so good.
i love wearing black all the time then adding color, i just love it.
I have lots of not-so-guilty pleasures. They include terrible, girly television (gossip girl, bridalplasty, real housewives…etc), online shopping, chocolate, cheese, and nap time. If any single day includes all of these then it is basically perfect.
I dress in head to toe black all the time. I rarely ever wear colors actually. I don’t like if my clothes are too loud. My not-so-guilty pleasures include The Bachelor and coconut milk ice cream.
My not-so-guilty pleasures?
Dressing in complete black when I go to sleep, but dressing with lots of color normally.
Watching Say Yes to the Dress marathons
Being a total foodie nerd.
I’m diggin’ the cookies for breakfast. And very cute outfit!
Love those guilty pleasures.
One thing I enjoy: loving in sweats when I’m at home and eating a late night snack.
Love the shoes! And the all black!! Rock those boots girl
Shannon says
I’ve never been to a Whole Foods, the closest one to me is over 100 miles away…
My not so guilty pleasures include eating an entire can of green beans cold, fuzzy socks, and today it was watching Growing Pains on DVD.
i feel like you live right near one of the WFs! you’re so lucky if you do because we have to drive damn 25 mins to get there! worth it totally but slightly really annoying haha
The Millionaire Matchmaker (okay, maybe this one could be considered “guilty”), food blogs, Michael Jackson (his music), Zumba
SO much of my wardrobe is black! I feel boring sometimes, but it makes me feel like a badass
A stylish badass.
I love your flats! What a bomb deal
Not-so-guilty pleasures: multiple desserts in one day, watching full seasons of a TV show on DVD in one day.
Cookies are breakfast and popcorn is dinner. It’s science.
Jocelyn @ Peace Love Nutrition says
Black is totally my color theme also! I think we both rock it ; )
xo
Ummm, I’m so glad black from heel to toe is in the “not so guilty” category
- For me I would say mine is spending my ENTIRE sunday in the kitchen practicing what I learned that week in school 
Linda says
I love your outfit <3
i am a solid color QUEEN I rarely buy patterned clothing, I dont know why I am always drawn to solids!! if it ain’t broke…don’t fix it!
I am also not ashamed that I LOVE techno for working out! Jersey shore fist pump music? BRING IT ON!
whole foods = death of me.
I can’t be trusted in there.
