O, wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind?

Greetings from Stockton everyone! I'm sure you've all been made perfectly aware of the fact that Stockton CA has been named America's most Miserable Town. I have to say, that is very inaccurate. Until recently I lived my whole entire in life in Stockton, and I must tell you, I am a very happy person. I'm also happy to be from Stockton. Granted there is a lot of need, and the school system is in the toilet (along with the rest of the state of CA), and there are no jobs, but the efforts being made by people to help others are awesome. The Lord is truly working in the city of Stockton, and I know that there are much more miserable places to live... like... Galt, or Rio Linda! haha. No offense Galt and Rio Linda.

Anyways, I finally went out and bought a Tripod! I have been propping up my camera against books and candles and stuff this whole time. Very inconvient, and very time consuming. It took forever because the camera would constantly fall down and I'd have to try something else... it was silly. So I ran out to Target and picked up a tripod.

SO... in the spirit of my Tripod. Here is what I wore today:) I've worn this sweater on this blog before, it's very unique, so I have to wear it sparingly, even thought it really is one of my favorite articles of clothing. This picture is taken out in my dad's workshop in front my Grandma's (who lives with my parents) sewing stuff. She's pretty crafty. I also did not make the same mistake I made yesterday by wearing sandals. I made sure I had warmershoes on today.

Sweater: Sleeping on Snow from Freestyle, Top: Ann Taylor from Freestyle, Skirt: AA, Tights: DKNY, Boots: Vintage Justin

 It was extremely windy out, so pictures outside were pretty much a no go. I dont mind rain so much, umbrellas can be really great acessories, but wind? there's nothing you can do with the wind

 This blouse is one of my favorite tops that I own. The ruffles are just perfect. I feel like when I wear really ruffley things the bigness of the ruffles make my head to look too small, so I usually I try to stay away from big ruffles. But these are dramatic, and still small. It's the pleatedness that does it for me.

 Look at my little buddy Oscar, he is so precious. I was eating a bowl of popcorn, so it wasn't looking at the camera, he was looking at the popcorn. He's a cock-a-poo which means, since he's part Poodle, he doesn't shed! He and Chico are the bestest of friends.

 This ring is the best! Nothing says "I'm ready for the sun to come out" like a little deer walking through flowers!

The paintings in the background are paintings that my husband did for my parents. Aren't they beautiful? I'm so proud of my wubby. He's such a talented guy. Nathan  has two tattoo appointments today, so we'll be here in Stockton all weekend. ALSO this: I may start working in Stockton on Saturdays at Campbell's in the Village at Lincoln Center... This makes me very excited, I worked there a long time ago, and I am more than happy to work there again. The Managers and the co-workers there are great, so I'm glad to go back. So, Hopefully that works out, what a great thing that would be.

Well, thats about it for me, the time has come for me to go to the thrift store with my mom. Stay warm and snuggle with someone you love.  Harry Potter is on ABC Family so you'll have something to watch!! See you soon

Broadway is a tough, tough arena for singing

Oh World, hello again! I hope you guys are all doing great. I'm actually kind of having and off day. I dont know why, maybe lack of sleep, but mostly because of lack of motivation. I wish I knew why. I have no reason to be un-motivated. Is that even a word? I dont know.

The Title of my blog is a quote from Julie Andrews (my hero). We're doing broadway in the WJU choir for our big spring fundraise. I'm not a very good braodway singer, but I'm working on. If Julie Andrews (My hero) thinks its hard, then it's hard! But I LOVE musical theatre, so I'm really excited about it!!

BUT ENOUGHT ABOUT THAT STUFF!!! Onto more important things!! This is what I decided to wear today. I bought this poncho in December with my birthday money, and I never had anything to wear with it, or I never made the effort to really find anything. Anyways, It has buttons but I dont button it, I'd rather it fall kind of like a cardigan...plus fuller range of  motion, which is always good.



Poncho: Vintage from Etsy (I forgot which store), Sweater: thrifted, Undertank; Thrifted, Jeans: Gap from Freestyle, Shoe: UO, Headband: Anthro

 I took pictures around 7:00 this morning, It was so beautiful and crisp, no weird neighbors out, it was so nice!

I'm really in love with the wide collar on this poncho it's so soft and cozy. It's like wearing a blanket that is socially acceptable in public. I can't believe I never wore it until now! The fringe isn't so bad either:)

I really am in love this little headband. I bought it when I was applying to work at Anthro. I wanted to look really interested. I think it worked because I was offered a position... unfortunately I turned it down for a job that was way lame.

Also, While at school my friend and co-music major pal, Nick Orton was was kind generous to let Alyssa and I to have come of the glory that was his fancy Peet's Coffee. I forget what kind it was, but it was strong, and delious.

Look at the beauty that is the french press. Oh, coffee snobs...

I just wanted a tiny little boost, so Nick poured mine into a cappuccino cup. It was so cute and little. So I documented it. It was a perfect tiny little cup of coffee. The cup had a little chip in it, and it reminds me of Chip from Beauty and the Beast.

Well people of blogworld, thats about it for me today. Take in this glorious weather, I'm gonna go visit my wonderful man of a husband, Nathan. at Freestyle. Get my drink (of chai) on, Get my shop on... Until tomorrow everyone!
