Something to be Joyful About

Feb 10, 2013

We should probably all take a minute and hate on me for not blogging for...what has it been? a month or two? ...so yeah, deepest apologies--but, we all need a break eventually. I think I stopped to study for finals, then enjoyed my winter break back in Chicago, then got all caught up on life returning to University. Okay, so hating over! Now we can discuss something a bit more joyous. I've been obsessed with the band Little Joy for quite some time, especially the song "Next Time Around". The music is so incredibly calming and the lyrics so wonderful. I'm so obsessed with this song, it's probably unhealthy. If for some weird reason it ever gets played in the club, I'll be one of those obnoxious girls who cries and screams "It's my song guys oh my goodness!" and insists on dancing like a psycho in the center of the dance floor. But, it wont play at the club. We are all safe. Thank goodness.

Pretty Princess Paintings

Dec 9, 2012
Sorry for the lack of posting recently - my finals have been getting to me. And if you're currently in University or have attended, you'll understand that it's one of the most stressful times of the year. It's more stressful than deciding which shoes to wear with that new dress to a promising first date with some cute guy... Well, if you have time to go on dates, that is. I think the closest thing to a date these past few weeks was sitting in the common room with my friends, then some guy walked in, said hi, filled his water bottle, and left. It was promising. I've already named all our children. 
Anyways, hopefully these incredible Disney Princess paintings help ease the burning pain inside. If not, buy a cat, they make everything better.

Wearing Shorts in Winter

Dec 3, 2012
The chilly weather is finally back for good so I've packed my floral sundresses, sandals, and sunhats and unpacked my chunky sweaters, leather jackets, and boots. Luckily, I didn't have to give up everything that screamed summer - I've still got my sunglasses, flowy scarves, and shorts. Now, I know a lot of people think shorts are strictly summer attire, however rocking shorts in the winter can be pretty simple. Just ignore all the confused looks from everyone. But really that's what fashion is about; your own personal style. And so what if others don't understand it? They're probably in their "warm" sweatpants asking you why you're wearing shorts in which I respond by sarcastically saying "I like to freeze and get hypothermia in my fashionable clothing right before finals."  Little do they know that I'm all jokes because thick socks and tights are warm he-he.
On a more current note, I was doing some homework with one of my guy friends and in the middle of our coffee break he says "so, when can we stop playing games and hook up?" Since when does doing homework with your friend mean you are playing games? And since when do girls find it attractive when a guy basically says to you that your friendship means nothing and that the only reason they hung out with you is to try and get in your pants? Anyways, my response to his annoying, vulgar comment was a sarcastic smile, a "good luck on your finals", and I didn't bother leaving the coffee I bought for him. I threw that in the trash on my way out.

Leather Love

Dec 1, 2012




How beautiful is this notebook given to me by my lovely sister? I've never really been a diary type person but I've always appreciated a gorgeous journal. Plus, this one incorporates all of the amazing things I love - it smells like leather, looks beautifully classic (reminds me of the olden days a bit...), the script is stunning, and its theme is music! Long story short, I love it. Now all I have to do is learn to write cutesy girly diary posts. The first will be a mushy-gushy "Dear Diary" one about how much I love my sister. And then I'll put happy glittery heart stickers and x's and o's all over the page. Or wait...maybe I have this wrong, isn't that what you do when you have crushes in 6th grade? Oh well, whatever.

Ugly Christmas Sweaters

Nov 28, 2012
This week has been pretty hectic as of late. With all the busy class, assignments, and end-of-term essays, it's hard to get 5+ hours of sleep each night. Just this afternoon as I worked on my history essay, I started to doze off and when I woke up, realized the work I had done sounded like something out of a 3rd grader's folder. Meh, whatever! I shall celebrate the end of the week on Saturday by dancing in my new Hello Kitty pajamas. Yeah, I'm cool like that.
Around here it's chilly but not cool enough for my super-warm pea-coat yet, so I've spent a lot of time in large sweaters--large Christmas sweaters, that is. I hope you've all been rocking this look, and if not, head over to your Grandma's closet and pick out the most disturbing looking snowman sweater she has. This is the only time that the uglier the sweater, the cuter it is. Christmas is sho happy yooo guyss :).
Outfits for Inspiration
Outfit 1: The plural of 'moose' is 'moose'

Someone said they saw 'meese' and everyone was like 'dafuq is a meese?' So..I just had to let you all know it's moose! Hope you learned something! I started this outfit with a warm fitted sweater over a basic loose tee. I then added some snowy white skinny jeans and a navy belt and jeweled flats that reminded me of winter snow. I accessorized with a silver necklace, cute pearly earrings and a chunky bracelet. Finally, I added a large nude backpack to fit all your necessities in.

Outfit 2: A Holly Jolly Christmas
I started this ensemble a chunky white holly sweater. I paired it off with a green skirt and thigh-high red socks for a Christmas-feel. I then accessorized with cute gingerbread earrings, gold bangles, and a while purse. Finally i added a pair of festive green flats. 

Outfit 3: Winter Wonderland

 I started this look with an over-sized sweater dress and added white tweed tights. Next, I added nude colored booties. I then added a pair of earrings that resembled snowflakes and snowy-white jewelry.
Your Turn!
Do you wear Christmas sweaters around this time of year? And how do you accessorize them?
