Don't you dare badmouth Star Wars! That was all accurate!

Dec 27, 2011

Hi Everyone. ‘Tis the days after Christmas and everything Holiday-wose is starting to wind down. Our holiday was a little interrupted by my having to work Christmas eve, but that’s okay, it was a really pleasant work day. We got to spend a lot of time with my family, and that was really nice. Our nephews are still young enough to get toys for Christmas, so it was fun seeing them open up Star Wars figures. I somehow managed to not take a single picture, so sadly, I have no pictures to share with you of our holiday… wow…

Anyways, today is a day of catching up and comfy outfits. So this is what I decided to wear today as I go and run a few errands. It’s not a very creative outfit, but it gets the job done. It’s been probably the sunniest winter in history here, which I’ve thoroughly enjoyed, so I don’t have to wear a coat today. This makes shopping very convenient, because well… who wants to wear a heavy coat while walking around Target? No one.






Maybe it’s a faux-pas to wear socks with flats, but I really like the color combo here, and while it’s too warm to wear a coat, it’s still too cold to wear just flats. Plus, I got these little grey babies for Christmas and cashmere socks are like the coziest socks known to mankind!

So… that’s about it for me today. I hope your holidays were all wonderful and peaceful. Can you believe the new year is 4 days away? Where did the rest of it go? Oh 2011... I’m actually ready to see you go, I’m looking forward to a new year. Well everyone, I’ll see you soon!

Hello everyone! Hope your week is going great! The weather here has been so nice! It's been so sunny and brisk and beautiful. Oh man, what a great week. Today I actually do have to go into work, but I don't mind it. For those of you who aren't aware, and I dont know why you would care so much, but i've been working at Kohls for the Holiday season. The customers are really super pleasant, even in the midst of holiday craziness. It's really low-stress, and the part I like the best is, unlike school, when I get home, I'm home! No homework!! Weird. It is kind of a weird feeling to not have homework. I feel like I should be doing work, but there's no work to be done!

Anyways, this is what I decided to wear today. It's pretty businessy for just being a cashier at Kohl's but hey, it never hurts to dress for success. I really love this skirt, it's really sure comfy with the elastic waistband and stuff. I was joking with a girlfriend of mine at Freestyle that we are prejudiced again F21 and H&M because we're so tired of seeing our closests filled with it, well... guess what: this striped sweater is H&M and the skirt is F21. Whatevs! If it's on trend, I'll buy it no matter the label. I'm a trend whore through and through.

 Another day of full on make-up. I love having time in the morning! I also love having enough energy at night actually take care of my skin before I go to bed, for once, I'm not totally pooped by the end of the day. Having time and energy... what the!



Well everyone thats about it for me. I'm at shady with Erin, and I'm being totally rude by updating my blog and checking out my etsy activities. I've put a few new things in the store by the way. One thing has already been sold, so thats fun. Anyways, I hope you have a great day, I'll see you soon.

Everything you just said, is MY favourite thing to do, every day

Good morning everyone! Well, I guess now it’s technically afternoon by the time this actually gets online. I have had such a great week thus far. It has been a week of Christmas decorating, Music listening, Coffee Drinking, blogging, and hanging out with my Wubby. What could be better? I don’t know. I really don’t. I’m still waiting on two of my grades to come in, Science, and Developmental Psychology. Both finals of which, were a little bit tough. Especially science, but I’m not going to get into it, because… I never have to take a science class ever again, as long as I live. Praise the Lord!
Anyways, this is what I decided to wear today. I wore this last night to dinner when my brother Chris came into the airport. It was so great seeing him. Seriously, the men in my family are so funny! My Husband, my brothers, my nephews, even my dad! They are all hilarious! My youngest brother Matt comes in today. Can’t wait! Oh, Christmastime.


This sweater vest thing is actually a XXL. I had my eye on it when it first came to Freestyle, because I really love the knit pattern of it, but the size deterred me. I’m so glad I decided to look past the tag and get it. For those of you who know me outside of this blog, you know how much I hate being cold. As soon as I get home from anywhere I throw on this worn-out pink robe (I’ve only had it a year). This sweater feels like I’m wearing a more chic version of my robe! Much to my Wubby’s dismay, I’m sure!




I’m a huge believer in “if I just wait, whatever I want eventually comes into Freestyle”. I’m always right! I never have to look anywhere else! As was the case with this tall slouchy boots.
Well you wonderful people, that’s about it for me today. I’m babysitting the Ruscica kids tonight. Seriously, there are no kids on the planet who more fun to watch than these kids, I always look forward to seeing them. Tomorrow I’m having a coffee date with my dearest dear, Erin, should be a fun post! See you soon!

People wear shorts to the Broadway theater. There should be a law against that.

Hello Everyone!! If anyone else is a full-time student, you are probably in the same boat as me, really soaking up the fact that I didnt have anything to do today. I didn’t have any homework, I didn’t have class, I didn’t have meetings, I didn’t have practices. I literally had nothing. I just woke up around 9am, and laid in my bed for a few minutes! Then, I talked with my mom on the phone, without feeling like I had to rush myself off the phone. It was wonderful!! So, that means I also had plenty of time to fully put together an actual outfit, and actually put on my make up the way I’d like to! Weird!

So what did I do with my day? Well, Mondays are Nathan’s day off, so we went and saw the matinee of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. I love going to the movies. Even if I don’t really like the movie all that much, I still really like just going. I can’t wait for the Muppets to come into the cheap theatre, I want to see it again. I think the Muppets wins best movie of the year for me.

ANYWAYS! This is what I decided to wear today. Out winter in the Sacramento area never really turns into a full on wintry wonderland with snow and stuff. It was sunny and gorgeous, more like a crisp fall day. Thus making it the perfect day for a coat, and shorts and tights with boots.




I have been patiently waiting for a pair of winter shorts, and they finally came into Freestyle in the form or Green corduroy. The color and material make them perfect for this type of weather.





Well everyone, that’s about it for me today. I have to take this top-knot out of my hair. I accidentally pulled it up too tight, and it’s giving me a crazy headache! I hope for everyone that your week is starting off on the right foot. Christmas is Sunday! Crazy!! See you soon!

Night Is Falling, The World Is Sleeping

Hello everyone! I hope your Saturday is going great thus far! Mine is! It’s been pretty low-key. Lots of catching up on the things that really got away from me during these last few weeks. As I mentioned is my last post, it was finals, so that means the weeks before papers and projects are due. So, school got crazy, and as a result, so did my house and my car.
Tonight is the Jessup Christmas concert. Last year the event was totally sold out, so hopefully this year there’s the same enthusiasm. Huge crowds are always fun when it comes to performing. Anyways, this is one the biggest thing the music department does, so it’s gonna be really fun.

Anyways, on Wednesday I did have a little break from finals so I decided to actually put something together. The coat really makes the outfit festive, which was intentional as I was babysitting that night and I brought the kids that I watch some special Christmas treats. I wanted to look like a bearer of Christmas merriment! I think I accomplished that… especially with the cupcakes and hot cocoa. It’s also important to me that those kids like me better than their other babysitters. Hahahaha! Just kidding!! Oh, I’m so kidding. The other girls that watch them are girls that I am good friends with from school
 I think it's pretty evident by looking at my hair-don't that during finals week, even if you make an effort, sometimes you just still just look like a crazy person...

This little brooch is actually a little hair clip that my best friend growing-up made! She has a whole store on etsy full of really super cute stuff! Here are a few more examples of her really fun things! I’ve worn it in my hair before, and now that my hair actually starting to grow, I’ll be wearing this little guy way more!



Are these shoes not the funnest you have ever seen?! I know funnest isn’t a word, but it really communicates what I’m trying to say. When I was in the grocery store a man stopped me, and asked how many karats they were! He was old and funny, not like a creepy weirdo. I liked that guy.


That’s about it for me today everyone! I gotta start getting fancy for the Christmas concert tonight. Should be fun fun fun!! I’ll see you soon!
