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.

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!

Dark Lips and Mustard Sweaters

According to me,
I love the color of this sweater. It definitely calls for a deep colored lip. I used A Different Grape from Clinique.  This sweater was among my Christmas gifts. I also got Sperry snow boots, a crock pot and cook book, and a new camera! It's a Rebel T3i and I am IN LOVE with it. My old camera was 8 megapixels, and this one has a whopping 18 megapixels. I absolutely adore it.

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.

A Maje Halloween

According to me,
Halloween was very fun this year. I dressed up as Rachel Zoe, of course. Was there any other option? I used all of my own clothes and went out and bought a blonde wig. A few people didn't even recognize me! And obviously, not many people knew who I was. But I loved it!
By the way, how amazing is the faux fur vest from Forever 21? I adore it.

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.

One Item Three Ways: Indigo Tank

According to me,
looking back at these outfits makes me slightly sad; I really miss summer! Don't get me wrong, I love the fall because I'm addicted to layering, but sometimes it's nice to be able to throw on a skirt or shorts and a top.
Anyways, here are three different outfits utilizing my indigo tank from Target. I love the color of it and the way it fits. As you can see, my favorite colors to pair it with are black, white and gray. This fall, I'm going to challenge myself to pair it with other bold colors and patterns.
Which one is your favorite?

Orange White and Blue

According to me,
I love both this sweater and this skirt. I don't wear this skirt often because it's a statement piece, but I do love to make different outfits with it. It was a chilly day, so I thought this bright orange sweater would compliment the skirt nicely. I topped it off with this huge necklace, and was good to go. This outfit was definitely full of statement items, but I think it worked out well. What do you think?

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!
