So I've been holding out on shopping for Christmas until Black Friday this year. There's so many things I want to get for people but I want to see if they'll go on sale first before I spend a bunch of money.
The Naked palette is something I've wanted for so long! I keep not buying it because I think it's too expensive for eyeshadow, but hopefully it will go on sale for Black Friday and I can get one for myself and one for my (almost) sister-in-law and maybe one for my mom and cousin.
The printer is not the exact one that I want, but I am in desperate need of a color printer for my new job and I think if I mention to my boss that it's like 70% off for Black Friday she might be more in to buying it for me. Fingers crossed!
Then there's the GoPro Hero camera. This thing is the best gift for a sports enthusiast. You can suction cup this HD camera to anything, surf board, dune buggy, car, bike...doesn't matter and it will record flawless HD video. Perfect for those men who want to show off their weekend at the dunes. It's regularly $300 so I hope I can get a little discount on this one come Black Friday so I can buy it for my boyfriend.
My boyfriend LOVES all white shoes. So I'm keeping an eye out for some good deals this year.
I want to pierce my ears (I know what a loser huh? I've been too chicken to pierce them) and when I do I want some diamond studs. So we'll see if any go on sale for the holidays.
The Dooney cross body bag is for my boyfriends mom. She has one already but it's pretty old so I want to get her a new one. I've seen a few at TJ Maxx, but I'm hoping I'll see more at better prices in a couple weeks.
And the Paris pillow is from Hobby Lobby. I don't want that pillow but it was the only thing Polyvore listed when I typed in Hobby Lobby. I'm waiting to see if they have even better sales than they usually do come Black Friday. Things on my list: Christmas Tree, Christmas decorations, office accessories, lamps, mirror, and candles!
I think I'm going to put together some gift guides this year. I love looking at what other people are thinking about giving their family and friends so I thought I'd join in on the brainstorming.

OOtD: Monday at Work

Top: H&M, Tank & Jeans: Forever 21, Shoes: BCBG, Watch: Fossil, Necklace: Forever 21 I think



Not feeling too inspired for work wear today so I just threw on a go to uniform of skinny jeans, wedges, loose shirt, and a necklace. Today is the start of a very busy week again. And did I mention I turn 25 tomorrow? Nutsssss. xo

Can you believe she JUST turned 16? Umm hi. Was I the only one that looked like the biggest nerdo-dork ever when I was 16? Nuts. Just had to comment on this. Cute outfit though! xo

Kings & Queens

Yay for lazy Sundays. Just woke up and searched the movie channels for a good movie I can roll up in a blanket and watch. My all time favorite types of movies are ones with kings and queens in them. The Other Boleyn Girl, the Elizabeth movies, The Young Victoria, Emma, Pride and Prejudice, Marie Antoinette and so on.

I'm not sure why but I'm completely intrigued by this type of movie and the time period they portray. I think its one of the reasons I love books of the same nature too.

I can't get over how they lived back then and how they dressed and the things they did. I'm totally a nerd and totally into it. This is also probably the reason I still have the entire 7 hour royal wedding coverage on my DVR. I'm enamored.











Cheers to lazy Sundays and good movies! xo

Office Attire

So I mentioned I got a new job right? Thank the lord. I now can wear whatever I please to this jobby-poo of mine. No longer am I forced to wear ratty jeans with steel toed boots and a tshirt to work. Such a girl thing to be excited about dressing up for work, no?

Anyways, now that I have the freedom to dress cute I am constantly looking for ways to wear my closet of clothes in a professional manner. I feel like any thing can be made office appropriate with the right styling.

I hate the corporate work attire. The matchy-matchy suit, office pants, super stuffy looking. That doesn't appeal to me at all. I'm also not much a dress/skirt girl. Never have been. I have 1671646 jeans in my closet. Can't get enough. And luckily in the office I work at we are suppossed to dress business casual which means leggings, skinny jeans, and nice jeans are all allowed as long as you make it look professional. This I love.

So there are so many choices of work wear and I'm trying not to shop for more duds and just use what I've already got in my closet. This can be tough, especially on days where I'm like "I hate ALL my clothes! I have nothing to wear! I look terrible in all this stuff! All my clothes are ollllld!"

So some inspiration is always helpful.

So cute. But I wouldn't wear the duster with shorts, maybe with pants. But I like the idea of a office casual shorts outfit.

Yes to all of the above. Could totally pull this off for the officina.

Perfect uniform. Skinny jeans, pumps, and loose blouse with statement necklace. Easy peezy.

I'm always scared of full on sequin tops like this because I think people will look at me like I'm a weirdo when I wear it, but I like the styling of this. Tones it down a bit.
Decisions decisions. Fingers crossed I get a fat gift card to Marshall's for my birthday so I can enhance my work attire wardrobe a bit. xo

Found

Found this beauty at Hobby Lobby but I didn't buy it. I think the price tag was $200. I'm gonna wait for the 50% off sale on mirrors. I think it will look so cute in my office somewhere. Or over my future new bed for our bedroom. Either or. xo
Again terrible quality photo due to my cell phone...but you get the idea.
