Unfortunately, due to the stress of school and the academic pressure I’m putting on myself (graduating college in 2.5 years is not so easy), I just don’t have time for blogging, as of the moment. That’s not to say I won’t be reading all the lovely blogs I’ve stumbled upon in the past few months – I’ll still be reading those daily, and I will definitely still be dressing up everyday. :) I know I’ll miss the blogging world a whole bunch – but we all have to make some sacrifices sometime, right? Best of luck to all you ladies with your blogs, you are all amazing inspirations. :)

Finally 19

It doesn’t feel that different being 19 (especially since i kept on forgetting if i was 18 or 19 for the past few months haha). My birthday has been amazing so far and I’m so grateful for all of the amazing friends i have. I love surprises and can’t get enough of them :D

Black Friday Madness!

So after the Turkey and indulgence in fat last night, I thought it’d be appropriate to walk all that fat off by shopping! I mean, pushing through people to get to sales, moving racks and racks of clothes back and forth – that’s some serious calorie burning right there! ;) I decided to abandon my trusty heels for this occasion, because let’s face it – there’s no way I’ll walk fast enough in those.
gray dolman sleeve shirt [charlotte russe - $5], black and white striped silk scarf [china -gift], black tights [target - $6], blue corduroy shorts [walmart - $5], black studded braided skinny belt [wetseal - $3], black flats [wetseal - $7]

I bought a boyfriend blazer and denim a-line skirt at 5-7-9 for a total of $10 – a totally sweet deal. My sister got me some cute green tights for christmas that I’ll be debuting soon. Lastly, I got these plum colored moccasins at Payless that I’ve been coveting quite a while now. I promise pictures in the near future. :)

Beautiful November Day.

it’s finally thanksgiving break! it’s amazing being home and taking a break from college. there’s been way too much drama lately (thanks a lot, boys :P) and too much work. i still have a sore throat but it’s getting better. hopefully i’ll be better by thanksgiving.

these pictures were from an photoshoot expedition that i went on the other day with my friend Monisha. we’re pretty big camera whores (she’s a better poser than i am). it’s always fun having these photoshoots since when we usually see each other we’re sitting in class.

It’s getting chilly here…

…and chilly, by Houston terms, means about low 60s. Nevertheless, you’ll find natives around here wearing big heavy jackets, prepared for the “winter”. I decided to give this furry hoodie a second chance – I was just about to give it away until I realized that it was one of the few “transition” jackets I had. I was impressed that it managed to go well with some of my more fashionable items of clothing – and the fact that it managed to match my hard to match heels.
hunter green faux fur hoodie [joujou - $17], cream embroidered tank [wet seal - $5], brown beaded necklace [charlotte russe - free], teal woven belt [forever 21 - $3.50], boho print skirt [wet seal - $4], brown tights [target - $6], hunter green mary jane heels [payless - $10]
A close-up of the heels. I had to make my photographer practically lie on the ground to get a pic of these. She’s absolutely wonderful. Also, Kristania of monochromachic has the same pair – be sure to check her out, the girl’s got great style. :)
A closeup of the necklace. It came with a top, so I guess it’s technically free. ;)
