Muted

I hit the books today, sorta. It's been awhile since I've gotten in the zone, but my last final is monday so I'm gearing up to make one last push. I wore a comfy outfit today and headed to Barnes and Noble. I realized when I went to forever21 yesterday that I tend to gravitate towards pale, muted colors. I was playing around with the zoom on my camera today so I look about 20+ shots, a select few were chosen haha.

It was freezing today... I like! I got this jacket a year ago and I still love it! It's so easy to wear, the lining on the inside is super soft and warm.

Forever Heaven

Sweater: Express

Shirt: BDG from Urbanoutfitters

Pants: Urban Behavior from metropark

Still sick, but today I accompanied my friend lynn and morris to the massive 80,000 sq. ft of heaven, known as the forever21 of baybrook mall. See us in the picture below? haha we are tinnyy. 4 trips to the changing room, 2 very full bags, and 4 hours later we left without covering half of the store. JUST HUGE!

The store had everything you could find online and more! It was also super organized, even the sale section was neat and tidy. This probably had something to do with us shopping on a Tuesday haha. It was heaven, seriously fully stocked and we were like the only ones in the whole store. It had escalators.. trust me I was amazed.

Sneak peekery at some of my finds.

This was actually a pic of a shirt at metropark that I fell in love with but it was $51, typically $74 but I found one almost exactly the same but half the price!

Trying to experiment more with prints. Above is a dress, perfect for the beach, can't wait to wear it.

Below a tank that won me over with the chain straps and teal color that is missing from my closet.

Cargo

So I got these cargo skinny pants a while back from metropark on sale and I haven't worn them in a post but if anyone wants them they're still on sale! They fit true to size, I am a 26 but I ordered a 27 cause reviews said they ran small...not true! A 27 is okay but I think 26 would have been better.

Also free shipping for the holidays!

Black

Olive

Online Vs. Mall

This past weekend our family put up the Christmas tree and it is awesome! It totally makes it feel like Christmas when presents start popping up under the tree.

This is an awesome picture my big sis took with my new camera :D

Outfit post! So I browse (shop) online quite often, but I stick to ordering things that I know for sure will fit me. Pants I am more reluctant to order because different brands vary. Shoes I will usually order, bags definitely order. Shipping always gets to me though so I will always chose to ship to the store for pickup if they have that option. Shopping at the mall is more fun though and you really know what you're getting so I try to browse online and then find it in stores. I've gotten very good at finding the same pieces online in forever21 stores haha it makes shopping there much simpler. Hope you guys have good luck shopping online as well!

American Apparel: Circle Scarf

The Loft: Shirt

Zara: Blazer

H&M: Tights

I wore this to school and then to my 3rd interview at VS today -.-

So I'm gonna try to be better about posting the deals I find. Usually I browse online and I don't post things until I actually wear them, but since good deals go quick I will get on it sooner. I found this skirt below from Express for $25, orig. 50, but they always have coupons so I'm sure you could get it cheaper. I used the gift card my awesome lil sis got me :) Thanks Linnie! Anyway the draping is really pretty and it's an olive/grey color which seems to be very popular.

This is another skirt from express thats the same price that I realllyyyy love, but it isn't in stores, only online. Check it out :) I don't know if the belt comes with it or not.

I've been wearing this shirt a lot. I love how it has a silver chain detain and a satin pocket. Instead of buying tee shirts I'd rather buy simple shirts with special detailing that I can dress up or down.

Do What You Say

Went shopping with the cousins of Far&InBetween today and crossed a few gifts off my checklist :) It took a lot of self-restraint to not holiday shop for myself but I did it haha. Anyway I am officially in break mode. I only have 1 final left which I feel pretty confident about. I haven't been blogging much lately because of some last minute tests and papers. I also applied for a job at VS. Working at the mall might prove to be quite dangerous for my savings account but I wanted to try something different and hopefully fun...

I finally sat down with my user manual for my D5000 and figured out how to work the awesome wireless remote my sister got me!!!

These are some of the shoes I've worn this week alone! Seeee I actually DO wear the shoes I buy haha.

Please excuse my swollen, tired, pale face, I think I caught whatever is going around. Darnit and after I was saying how I haven't been sickkkk all year.

H&M: Jacket

Agaci: white thermal

7 for all Mankind: Jeans

Aldo: Shoes

I got these jeans for 40% off, and they FEEL awesome. Sometimes I'm not sure when it is okay to splurge. Bags? yes! Food? yes! shoes? I've yet to try on very expensive shoes so I wouldn't know, but I hear that it is worth it, comfort and quality wise. Jeans?? in the past no I would not dare to spend 100+ on a pair of jeans but after trying on these I probably won't go back. It was an extra plus that I got these for $90.

Impulse

With all of these holiday sales going on I've realized my impulse buying is at its worst very early in the morning and late at night. I shouldn't shop when I'm not thinking straight haha I guess I found some good deals on gifts, but nothing that couldn't be found on any other day if you're a smart shopper.

On another very happy note... I am going to the Linkin Park concert Feb. 15th!!! Although their latest cd not what I expected, its grown on me with a few listens. Waiting for the End is the best track on the cd!

I remember in middle school I had this poser above paper clipped in my planner. Old school linkin park.

I look forward to seeing chester sing his lungs out. He is an amazing vocalist and mike shinoda writes really meaningful lyrics. And Mr. Hahn is so cool :D

The last concert me and David went to was to see Lifehouse, where I got to see my other future husband Jason Wade serenade me :P yup haha

Snapz

Playing with my camera on Thanksgiving. I've been trying to find any excuse to take pictures, but I haven't figured out all of the settings yet. Any tips would be awesome!

The over the door hanger that my sister got me from the Container Store is so cute and there are 10 individual hooks.

This is my fox tail that David got me from the Renaissance Festival.
