Thanksgiving weekend in review.

What a great two-day break from school, I'm being serious here. Exams are quickly approaching and so is the moving date! So, naturally, I've been shopping non-stop for things. Especially clothes! I have no idea what shopping will be like in Columbia (it's a pretty small town) so I've been stocking up on anything worth buying here, purses and shoes have been the main items but I've also become balls deep in tops due to our downtown Goodwill Outlet where you can get a pound of clothes for 80 cents! I went there two days in a row last week and spent $14 so you do the math and thats how many shirts I bought, along with 3 or 4 purses and 2 pairs of leather heels (Italian! One of my favorites) what a steal!

Before my families Thanksgiving started, my mom and sister and I decided to go on a little hike. Perfect weather for it and to take pictures, haven't really done an outfit post in a while but I figured it was well past due that I make one. Some new purchases seen in pictures below are my studded t-shirt, long cardigan sweater, and red leather purse which by the way is a beautiful shade of red, I bought a similar bag but it had a blue undertone in the red and I've been looking everywhere for a red bag with orange undertone, but then, viola! Found it! Thanks goodwill :)

Susie wearing my Chloe sunglasses, not bad :)

My eye makeup, haven't really been into much other than just mascara and black eyeliner lately, decided to switch it up for the holidays but hey who knows maybe i'll start using more colorful eye shadows for a bit.

WHAT I WORE:

Studded T-Shirt, ANA

Black Leggings

Combat Boots, Steve Madden

Vintage Cardigan Sweater

Sunny Day Snapshots.

Still really busy, but I finally got a new phone so I'm officially out of the stone age! My old Blackberry didn't even let me take pictures :( But my new Samgsung Exhibit does and I took some quick snapshots the other day while at a friends house.

 Loving these new fold-over boots I just got!
My whole outfit was giving me a Chanel vibe, and while playing around on my phone I found some cool Chanel pictures, look below...

Is it proper for one to jingle?

Loving these new sandals I picked up while thrifting. They jingle with every step I take and I've been wearing them a lot lately, they go with everything! :)

Sandals, Old Navy

Rings, Forever 21

Sunglasses, Chanel

Tweed Jacket

I'm pretty sure this is another great find from one of my trips to Chicago, and I promise I don't go to Chicago as much as it may seem like I do! I'm always saying I found this in Chicago, I found that in Chicago. Chicago just has some great stores, ALRIGHT?! 

p.s

Extremely shitty weather we are having this week, I swear I'm about to just drive to a beach, any beach I DON'T CARE WHERE! 

jacket, F21 and the bow necklace, a gift from a great friend!

I hope everyone is having better days than I am because I have been stuck inside for the better part of the week! But for now...

Spiked, please and with a drop of sound.

 Christian Louboutin heels, Forever 21 Tutu 

I love these Louboutins I found on ebay, they were a 19th birthday gift from my mom! I usually lean more towards different brands that aren't as popular (to me, at least) not like Christian Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik, and Jimmy Choo. Their shoes are amazing don't get me wrong! It just they are very well known so a lot of people have the same shoe and they are also very easy to knockoff. But I love a good spiky heel and have been looking around for some nice ones forever so these are here to stay!

This weekend was beyond perfect! I got to see all my friends who visited from college and had a little get together at my house Friday and Saturday. Now I'm working on redecorating my room today! Oh, and heres what I was listening to this weekend, basically a lot of songs by Animal Collective, Black Moth Super Rainbow, and one by Lionshare showed below.

Animal Collective - Peacebone

Black Moth Super Rainbow - Sun Lips



Lionshare - Trip to Feza



I hope you all had a fun weekend! I'm still enjoying this nice weather we're having.

Perfect Weather

Wow! Guess what? It's really hot outside today! I'm very excited, this couldn't be more perfect of a weekend! I had some friends over last night and today I spent the day cleaning the house, drawing a couple of new designs (I came up with a bunch of new ideas last night!) and photographing some awesome shoes that arrived in the mail last week, a late birthday gift but I'm not complaining!

I've been starting to put a lot of different braids in my hair, YouTube and fashion magazines are really a great source for new hairstyle ideas and I just love putting braids in my hair as the weather gets warmer. I recently purchased a clip-on braided bun! Only $5 and works and looks great especially with bangs and some big earrings. 

Perfect to wear on a hot day!

Wearing this awesome purple chiffon dress that's from Forever 21, but I found it at a thrift store! great find and I'm pretty sure I did another post with this dress before. I've been wearing this long dress with a black camisole all day but every once and a while I get super hot and throw on a tutu, also from Forever 21! Why I have so many clothes from that place I'll never know! They seem to be very popular not just at the mall but at thrift stores around where I live.

Hope everyones enjoying this perfect Saturday!

Just hanging out in my back yard.

Or what you can try and call a backyard, seeing as I live in a apartment complex. I painted these chairs with my mom over the summer and just never really got around to photographing them until a couple days ago! Im wearing some pants I got for Christmas from Forever 21, some Ann D's and my new House of Harlow necklace, I really adore Nicole Richie and her jewelry line! They are both so amazing. I bought a couple more House of Harlow pieces off eBay and I hope they get here soon because I can't wait to photograph them!

Super Glittery nailpolish, a great birthday gift from my sister Susie! From Milani makeup line!

Well, thats all for now! I still have one more exam to study for and take, work, and I woke up to it snowing this morning even though a couple days ago I was wearing tank tops, sunglasses, and open toe shoes, and *gasp* even getting a little too toasty! Mother nature is so bi-polar.

Times New Roman?

I love the collar on this Oscar de la Renta shirt I found while at Platos Closet. It was weird finding it at a Platos. They usually only have those trendy teenager brands. But recently I've found a lot of good stuff there!

Worn with some jeans and Forever 21 shoes. I usually don't find such great shoes there but I'm glad I found these!

Now, I have to get back to studying and what not! Wish me luck on my exam! Its on Tuesday!
