Feeling Spring

According to me,

I'm really getting in the mood for spring. I can't bring myself to buy anything in dark colors, only bright and colorful! I recently purchased this cream sweater from the Gap and these minty green earrings from Fossil. I've never bought a white or cream sweater before, I'm terrified I'll ruin it. But I thought, what the hell, I'll give it a try. It's on sale anyways! So far, so good. No stains. *Knocks on wood.*

This is also the first time you really get a good look at my new hair! I recently died it dark red/violet. I've never dyed it before, so this was a big step for me. I wasn't sure at first, but I've grown to love it! Let me know what you think!

Pop of Plaid

According to me,

this plaid scarf was the best purchase I've ever made. It's incredibly warm, and it lays so nicely. I paired it with a navy fedora and dark brown jacket for a winter to spring transition outfit.

My (not so) Secret Obsession

According to me,

I absolutely love watches. Granted, I only owned one before working at Fossil, but I still wore it every day because I think watches are an integral part of an outfit! But now, I have seven and I love all of them. And trust me, seven is not a lot compared to some people I know!
I love having a large variety of watches too, because I don't always want to look the same.
My favorite is definitely my gold original boyfriend (on the far right). It's classic and simple. I also love my chocolate ceramic (second from right) because it's soooo nice.

My newest addition is my small square and silver one. I don't usually wear smaller watches (as you can see...), but this one really caught my eye. I love it!

Season of Gray

According to me,

I've been really loving gray a lot. Not that I don't normally love it, my wardrobe is actually about half gray. I just love the color in every shade. I think that because it's fall I'm especially loving it, and maybe because of the fact that it looks so good with my new leopard loafies (which, by the way, are definitely the best purchase I've made in a long time).
And, super exciting, I made my own infinity scarf! Admittedly not difficult at all, I'm actually very proud of it. Joann Fabrics was having a sale on fabric, so I had to at least try. The scarf only cost me $6 after I was done sewing it, and it only took me about fifteen minutes to sew. I'll probably be going back to buy more colors in this same fabric to make more. If I do, I'll put up a tutorial so you guys can try to make your own too!

Resolutions

According to me,
I hope you all had a wonderful and safe new year's eve! Happy new year! 2012 is going to be a great one.
Here are my new year's resolutions:

1. Eat better and exercise (but isn't that everyone's? haha)
2. Spend less money on frivolous things, save it for important stuff
3. Cook and bake more often
4. Clean out my closet and give away clothes and shoes I don't wear anymore
5. Have a good time and relax more!

What are your resolutions?

Here's an outfit not from last night, but a few days ago. I love this jacket so much; it's my mom's though, so I can only borrow it. But I love the pattern and the way it fits.

So have a good day! Start 2012 out right!

Christmas Spirit

According to me,
this shirt really puts me in the Christmas mood. I love how bright it is. Not a true red, but more of a vibrant shade. I paired it with gold accessories to make it look more festive.
Are you in the holiday spirit yet? Let's hope so, because Christmas is only a couple days away!

Perfect Booties

According to me,
I never understood the value of investing in quality boots, and multiple pairs of them. Last year I only bought one pair. They were decently nice, but not terrific. I wore them near every day and man do they show it. I still wear them this year, but they look so beaten up and old. This winter, I'm determined to get a few pairs of great boots that will last me a long time.
Here is the first installment in the collection!
These  babies were on sale at Aldo. I LOVE them. They're going to be great for work and daily wear because they're wedges. I'm not worried about the soles wearing out because they're a good thick rubber. I'm really excited to have bought them! What do you think?

Winter Flash

According to me,
we all know that using the flash on our cameras is the worst thing ever. The quality is just not as good as with natural lighting. But what can we do when it's getting darker earlier and earlier? Sometimes there's just no option.
Let me tell you, it was FREEZING when I took these pictures! Obviously I didn't want to wear my coat and cover up the outfit. I'll do a shoot with my coat soon though, I love it.
Sorry I've been posting so sparsely lately. It's nearing the end of my semester and everything is getting crazy. I'm done in a week and a half, but I have a ton of studying to do in that amount of time. But, news! I'm going to be getting two little bunnies for Christmas! My boyfriend is getting them for me because he knows how much I miss my dogs at home. I love animals, they really are just amazing. I can't live without a pet! Their names are going to be Flopsy and Mopsy :)

Non Snow Boots

According to me,
I adore these boots, but I really need to invest in a pair that will actually keep my feet warm and dry. While these ones look great, they do not keep my little feet warm nor dry. But, I do love this outfit. I should be wearing a winter coat in this outfit, but we all must suffer for fashion!
I like the fall colors mixed with the winter grays. We're in that transition state, and son we'll be in full on winter tones!
I'll point out, my eye makeup is rather vivid today. I didn't notice how vibrant it was until I saw these photos. I'll definitely be scaling this back in the future!

Turtlenecks Already?

According to me,
it's so sad when I don't get to blog very often. I've had so many outfits I wanted to share with you guys, but I never have time to get photos or even sit down and post about them if I do. These pictures are from Friday; I wore this outfit for a long shift at work (don't worry, I brought back up flats!). One of my favorite parts about working at Fossil is being able to wear clothes that I love. Plus, I get to sell bags and watches that are amazing. Almost too amazing...I spend way too much money at work!
I'm going to make a greater effort to blog more often, I can't believe it's been since Halloween! I hope you've all been having a great November. Get excited for Thanksgiving! I hope you're all going home to spend it with your families, I definitely am. I don't get to see them often!
Concerning my outfit, I can't believe it's already cold enough where a turtleneck is appropriate! It's been rather cold up here in Ann Arbor, hopefully you're experiencing a warmer November. We've already had snow!
Until next time, and hopefully it won't be too long.

Timeless Neutral

According to me,
I love to wear this blazer. I purchased it about a month ago from Forever 21. I love the color because it goes with everything (obviously, it's a neutral). I've taken to wearing heels a lot more often, and these have been in my closet for years. But really, it's a timeless color and shape to me. A nice and simple pump and a great shade of yellow. They look great with just about everything.
Oh, and look at the ring! I love it. Big rings are definitely one of my favorite accessories.

Channeling Zoe

According to me,
I was very much channeling Rachel Zoe this morning. I threw on a wide-brimmed hat (not as cool as hers), and gave myself a colored lip. Her outfits are always killer. I've been watching The Rachel Zoe Project a lot recently. It's so addicting!

Sheer Light

According to me,
these pictures remind me of a Marc Jacobs ad. I'm not sure why, but the lighting does (not the last one, just the first two). I didn't think I'd like how the pictures with a flash turned out, but surprisingly I did.
I'm in love with this sheer navy shirt from Forever 21. Plus, I'm wearing my latest addition to my watch collection. Rose gold and gorgeous.
