Post Food Baby

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great thanksgiving! My Thanksgiving was spent with my wonderful family at my sister's new house. Probably within fifteen minutes of arriving into my sis' home I fell into a deep food coma from all the turkey, yams and stuffed mushrooms I crammed into my mouth. Still, it was a fantastic time and made me sooo excited for christmas :D.
Today when my cousins and i walked downstairs to play with my puppy Toto we were surprised to see a brand new 40 inch plasma tv waiting to be opened and adored. My parents got a head start on Black Friday shopping around 4 am and bought me the tv as an early christmas gift. Gossip Girl will never look the same again (in a good way of course ;D).
Anyways, I found this cute beige dress in my mom's closet a couple monthes ago. Oh how I love my mom's hand me downs.

I'm BACK! Sorry about being mia it's just that I've been really busy moving into my new house which until today, had no internet. But, in all honesty there was nothing even remotely inspiring in any of my outfits that I wore this week anyways...my attire mostly consisted of sweatpants, old hoodies and flip flops...yes I can tell your yawning with boredom.

Anyways socal has FINALLYY provided us with some rain and I'm lovin every minute of it. I went to campus today for my only class of the day and was surprised to see my whole campus deserted-- I guess people were more excited to chow down on turkey legs and cornbread stuffing then be lectured about the hermeneutics of religious mythical paradoxes, hm? After class I came home to find my house taken over by house painters who have turned my stark white walls into that warm beige color you see in the pictures. Now it is finally time for me to decorate my room....hmm note to self: google cheap room decor ideas.

This sweater is absolutely the comfiest thing I own. It used to go down to my knees but then I shrunk it in the wash and now, well, it's practically tshirt length. All well. And these boots have got to be my favorite thing in the world right now. The platform makes these 5" heels feel like comfy slippers.

If I don't get around to posting tommorrow, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Veterans and Dinosaurs

Happy Veteran's Day everyone! I woke up bright and early today to help setup for a good friend's surprise breakfast at a local cafe. The rest of my day was spent browsing the dinosaur museum with my boyfriend and then stopping by a little bakery for some macaroons and orange zest cookies. All-in-all it was quite a wonderful day =)

Lazy Sunday

Ah, the end of a relaxing weekend, and the start of a hectic week! My Saturday and Sunday comprised of: shopping for random misc. things for the house (toilet paper, chips and dip, shampoo...), picking out new furniture for my sister's new house--then scoring a cute leather-seated dining table for my new house, and finishing up an assignment for my religious studies class. Sometimes the most uneventful weekends end of being the most fulfilling, don't you think?

It's All A Blur..

I wore this outfit a couple weekends ago while running a few errands and doing a little shopping. This black shirt is probably one of my faavorite pieces of clothing. of all time. I bought it at urban outfitters on sale for about $10 and have definitely gotten my money's worth. The picture does not do my sequiney piece of cloth justice. The detailing is silvery flower sequins and beads and bordering around the collar. Sigh. The perfect amount of sequin to pull of wearing it in the daytime. I couldn't find my small silver bangles so I borrowed my favie bestie/roomie's silver hoop earings and used them as bangles instead and it worked out perfectly!

Today We've Made History

I am proud to be an American.

It's Raining, It's Pouring, the Old Man is Snoring

Finally the rain has shared it's watery goodness with my dry little town! The only problem was that I had not prepared myself for the appropriate rain attire, but my trusty old windbreaker worked just fine--and only $5 from Old Navy! I also haven't gotten the chance to wear these knee-highs yet so I was pretty excited to whip these cozy little puppies out. Perfect Sunday afternoon: lunch and a movie (Zach and Miri was very funny) with my boyfriend. Oh, and of course the extra hour of sleep thanks to daylight savings wasn't too bad either ;)

All Hallows' Even

I know, my costume is so off from the Susie Q, 50s soda pop girl idea I was going for..but the skirt is kind of cute, no?

I wish I had a full body shot of Areli's costume. It was a black jumpsuit with gold sequins from top to bottom. Priceless.

My boyfriend is not really as into the whole costume thing as I am. He never had a costume growing up, can you believe that?! Haha I felt so lucky he put SOME effort into his Greaser costume that night.

Pre-partying. Haha some of us already are starting to get that cherry glow..

My sister spent her Halloween in Vegas at the Palazzo (lucky!), so I get to puppysit cute little Ripley for the weekend.

What a fabulous night of mischief! After too much deliberation and not enough sewing skills I ended up having to scramble for an easy costume I could make last minute. Luckily I was able to create some kind of mini-poodle skirt out of pink felt, velcro, and safety pins. It was way too hot for me to wear the cropped cardigan and pink felt scarf I had planned on wearing so I just stuck with a white ribbed tank instead and some silver and pearl beads I had found in my friend's car. The white keds also belonged to a friend of mine and were about a size too small for my monstrous feet--unfortunately my feet are punishing me today for my cruel uncomfort I put them through last night. I'm so glad I ended up finding the white laced socks for $1 at RiteAid; I'll defnitely be wearing them with other outfits outside of the 50s themed ensembles. Tonight, I believe I must scramble again for a costume..hm time to start googling for more simple costume ideas...
