Time to Fall

Hello all!

i absolutely love october for many reasons. the main reason being PUMPKIN! i cook with pumpkin all the time...and it always makes me happy when october rolls around, because it's now considered "season appropriate"...lol that's super off topic...but, i just wanted to share my love of all things pumpkin related with the world! 

anywhoo, i'm currently on fall break...it's just 10 days, but much needed! :] i flew back to texas on saturday, and now i'm just enjoying this time and resting as much as possible. i didn't realize how tired i was until i saw my queen size bed! then suddenly, the entire semester caught up with me and i realized i was about to take the best nap ever....and by that i mean that i have been napping on again off again for the past 2 days...and it has been glorious! my friend, harper, flew back with me as well! we saw a fantabulous movie last night, "7 Psychopaths" and it was really quite lovely! :]

what i wore:

top: my mothers from the early 90's

skirt: wholesale dress

boots: Bakers

purse: borrowed from harper

bracelets: Target and Brandy Melville

rings: Forever 21 and John Hardy

i'm in love with this skirt. it has such a romantic feel to it, which makes it extra fun to mix with edgier items! :]

HARPER!

the classic jumping picture. always necessary.

TRIED to get a fun walk/jump picture :]

hope everyone is having a super cuddly october so far!

more later! :]

Back in Black

Hello All!

it's so good to see you all again! i assume you are all doing quite well and enjoying this fine november, which makes me happy! this past week has been pretty normal (for me...), and since i didn't have any interesting halloween plans, i don't have any interesting costume pictures...how interesting! i just answered the door to trick or treaters dressed as a penguin from madagascar...and by that i mean that i was wearing my super amazing/wildly comfortable penguin feety pajamas!!! fact: I LOVE FEETIE PAJAMAS A TON! i wear them in public any chance i get. they are the best invention since the wheel! :]

anywhoo...here is what i wore to work a few days ago:

dress: forever21

-fun fact: i wore this dress in my high school production ofR+J a few years ago, which was a modern day version of Romeo and Juliet (the play) and the style was european high fashion. it was worn differently in the show.

legging pants: express

jacket: forever21

heels: steve madden

necklace: forever21
pearl bracelet: "off the cuff" by imperial pearls

and now... THE PICTURES!! WOOT!!!

just looking off into the distance....very normal...

oh wind...you are so cruel to my bangs!!

and...THAT'S ALL FOR NOW FOLKS!!!

Outfit Post

Hello All!

I'm back again!

as you may or may not have noticed, i've really taken to posting more than once in a day, and then going a week, and then repeating...

and on that note, i'm going to try and be better about posting more often/regularly :]

YAY!!!

anywho, here is a short outfit post from...*da da da da!* TODAY! :] (except that now it's past midnight, so technically it was yesterday...but let's not be picky, ok?)

today i wore:

a sheer, light pink top from Forever 21 (it had little bows and polka dots on it! very girly!)

a faux leather black skirt i got from Blue Door Boutique! (how edgy!)

black opaque stirrup tights from Forever 21

and...MY FAVORITE HEELS OF RIGHT NOW, my black steve madden heels! they are so darn comfortable! for real! and they look all retro! #iminlove

and now for some super funky picturoos!

it was ridiculously sunny out, so i tried an umbrella on for size. SPOILER ALERT: it DID NOT help the sun issue. at all.

can we all just take a moment to bask in the glory of this disaster of epic proportions. (major hyperbole) the sun effected me so much i couldn't even get my eyes to open. really quite a painful situation.

what's this? a brick wall? i MUST pose by it!

oh brick wall, you cast RIDICULOUS shadows. seriously, is that not the most outrageous shadow ever?!?!

oh look! a fence! i'll pose by that too!!

well, i suppose that's enough for one night.

i shall post more quite soon! :]

follow me on the twitter, if you dare!

reunited

Hello All!

last friday was homecoming at the high school i graduated from, so a few of my friends and i went to the game and then got a really late night snack after! it was super weird going to the game as "alumni" and not a "student", but it was awesome to see everyone again! not that it's really been that long, but still...

the weather was nice (or as nice as texas weather can get) and we won the game by a lot! so overall, it was a pretty nectar evening! 

on the "nectar" note, anyone watch "New Girl"? funniest. show. ever. i seriously love that show. all of the characters are wonderful and full of interesting quirks! woot!! :]

anywhoo, here are some funsical photos from the evening!

side note: "funsical" is the best word i have ever invented!!

another side note: i did not take any of these photos, they were taken by my friend, Lindsay Meredith. :]

ladies and gentlemen, the wonderful Lindsay Meredith :]

zim and i

the whole gang!
dress: style house
tights: forever 21
boots: maddengirl
necklace: http://www.thegivingkeys.com/
