Update!

Hey guys, just a quick update! I'm finally able to get back into blogging, so I'll do a post in a few hours. I need to run out and do a few errands but once I get back I'll get to posting! I have SO many things to update you on: DIY projects, my license (finally, yay!), new life goals and new style inspiration! Thanks for hanging in there with me!

Hello my lovely followers! Between school and skating I've barely had a minute to breathe this past month, let alone blog! It makes me sad when I come up with a cute outfit for school and don't have time to snap a few pics because I'm rushing out the door.

Luckily for me this week is my spring break! I plan on resting and taking lots of outfit pictures so I have a stocked supply. Also Misfits.

If you haven't seen the show Misfits YOU MUST. It's one of my absolute favorites and I had a marathon the other day, reigniting my obsession. All 3 seasons are on Hulu right now! GO WATCH.

[cast of Misfits, Nathan is my favorite]

In other news, I have to share my recent purchases with you! I recently bought a beautiful black Herve Leger dress that I am dying over. It's so beautifully made and comfortable, the perfect LBD! I'll post pictures soon.

The next thing I need to buy is a new iPhone case....mine is destroyed. Here are some of my favorites! Help me pick!

Also, a few weeks ago I took some self-portraits while I was playing around with my camera. These two are my favorites! What do you guys think?

I'll do an outfit post soon! I promise!!

A Few of My Favorite Things.....

Things are actually looking up for me right now. Skating is going really well, and I'm going into my third week of school so things are exciting right now! I feel like all my hard work is finally paying off. I'm planning on keeping this uphill swing for a LONG time. Since I haven't done an "inspiration" post in a while, I figured it was time. Let me just say, if you don't have a Pinterest account you need one ASAP. Leave your email in the comments if you want one! I'll send you an invite and you can thank me later for taking away your life. :D

My Pinterest account consists of style inspiration, food, amazing travel photos, girls with pixie cuts, my future Paris apartment, movies/books/tv, and of course anything Disney because I seem to be regressing to my childhood.

(must take a self-portrait like this.)

Black Patent

Well, so much for my 'one post a week' goal. As I start my last week of winter break I realize I've spent most of my 2 months off watching old Disney movies, Netflix, going to Disneyland, and hanging out with my best friend Nick. Blogging? What's that? I barely even decided on any New Years resolutions! It's already sixteen days into January and I'm just now doing my first blog post of 2012. So I'm just gonna go ahead and add "blog" to my nonexistent resolutions list.

However, the good news is I'm finally doing a post about my favorite shoes! I hardly ever wear them because they KILL my feet, but it was my brother's 21st birthday so I decided to suck it up and suffer for fashion.

My glorious Christian Louboutin black patent Feticha pumps. So beautiful, but so incredibly painful.

We're silly.

I wore a new NastyGal dress that I got specifically for the holidays! It's covered with strips and pieces of black fabric with gold metallic paint or something. It's the coolest dress ever.

I'll post again soon! Promise :)

Texture

Ok Ok I am officially making a promise to myself to do at least ONE blog post every week. I have about 2 months off for winter break and I am going to be productive! Thanks to Pinterest my life has zero social time......if anyone wants an invite let me know! I'm obsessed.

Does anyone have trouble taking their own pictures? I use the self-timer on mine but lately I've been noticing I'm out of focus.....I focus the lens where I want it and then jump in at the last minute for the picture! It ends up with the background being really clear and me blurry.....any tips? My friend recommended I use manual focus but I thought I'd ask my fellow bloggers :)

How was everyone's Christmas?? I love Christmastime...I've spent so much time at Disneyland this month! It's so beautifully decorated during the holidays.

Aren't the textures cool? I love this skirt it's SO comfy.

AllSaints

Happy after turkey day! I hope all of my lovely followers had a great Thanksgiving. Did anyone go Black Friday shopping? I've NEVER gone and I actually went this year. But I waited until 8PM....so can I really call it Black Friday shopping?

I can't believe it's almost December already! Time has gone by so quickly. School is almost over for the semester! My last day is December 7th....thank god it's almost over because I've been trying to write my research paper for 2 days now and it just isn't happening. I thought I'd take a break and do a blog post :)

This All Saints dress is probably my favorite piece in my closet. I love the draping and the detail on it, and it's super comfortable! I wore this outfit to school one day......and did my best 'Birds Ate My Face' impersonation in the last picture.

Invisible Monsters

You know that moment when you put frequently worn pieces together and have the 'AHA!' moment where they look perfect together and yet you've never thought of wearing them that way?

I had that with this outfit. I always wear this shirt but I've never worn it with this skirt, and the cardigan is one of my favorite pieces in my closet! Lately I've been obsessed with wearing this belt knotted.

P.S. On a side note, if you catch the Palahniuk reference in the title then high five! If not, Invisible Monsters is one of my absolute FAVORITE books by my favorite author. I highly recommend it.
