Insta Lately

So far 2014 has been quit the roller coaster! After only being a week in, both my apartment and parent's house flooded, I am going to my last first day of school (ever), and I've been making some big life decisions! This year is not going to be easy, but I am ready for the challenge! 

Here are some of my favorite ootds I've been sporting in the new year: 

New Year, New Resolutions

Happy 2014! 

I hope everyone had a safe & wonderful New Years! For me 2014 is going to be about making positive changes in my life. Here are my resolutions...

1. Become a healthier me

2. Become a positive me

3. Become a more successful me

4. Become the best blogger I can be!

In 2014 I plan to graduate from my undergrad, get my first "grown up" job, and finally accomplish the one resolution I've had for the past several years: become the healthiest I can be. 

What are your resolutions?

Insta Lately...

Finals and work have kept me so busy the past two weeks! There were points where I just wanted to give up and sleep my life away. As cheesy as it sounds, what keeps me going through the days are planning my outfits! I love clothes so much. It really is a problem. 

So here are a few #ootd posts from my Instagram during the past few days: 

You can find this ahh-maze fur at the best store ever, Juliana's Boutique!

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things...

It is finals week, which means I should be studying... HA! I'm blogging instead, duh. 

There are SO many things that I've been obsessed with the past few weeks... 

I got these samples at Ulta. Let me tell you, these are the BEST beauty products I've used in a long time. The mascara is magic and the B6 spray works wonders!

Better Than Sex Mascara 

B6 Complexion Prep Spray

This fringe scarf has become one of my most used accessories! It's super soft, and I love the unique touch of fringe. Isn't Mary so gorgeous?!

Warm Whisper Scarf

These sunnies look exactly like the ones from Prada...except a MAJOR price difference! I may have a little sunglass obsession... it's fine. 

"Prada" Sunglasses

Who else is excited to watch the Sound of Music with Carrie tomorrow night?! 

Now I suppose I should get back to Pinterest studying

J.Crew Gems

Lama Sweater/Puffer Vest/Plaid Button Down/Bib Necklace Sweatshirt /Fair Isle/Necklace/Plaid Scarf

J.Crew has some amazzing new pieces on their site. I am crossing my fingers that they will have some of these on sale for Black Friday! I'll be hitting up the outlets, and while I am standing in the freezing cold while waiting in line, I also be checking out some deals on my phone. My favorite app for this right now is Retail Me Not. They have all of the best coupons for Black Friday sales!

Juliana's Boutique is also doing an amazing Black Friday sale! You can even enter to win a $25 gift card on their Facebook and Instagram pages!!

Will you be standing in line or enjoying the warm fire while online shopping?

Vintage Florals

This is one of my favorite dresses to wear for this season. I love how it looks vintage, but it's vibrant colors don't make it look old or dull. 

I added an extra pop of color by wearing these maroon colored tights from Target. 

And of course, is any outfit complete without a fur vest?! I bought mine at Tj Maxx last year, but here is my most recent vest purchase from Juliana's Boutique. 

You can find my monogram necklace here, and my tassel necklace here. 

You may also notice my ahhhmazing handbag. This was gifted from my grandmother. It's a vintage Chanel from the 1920-30s. It is something I will keep forever!

What are your staple pieces for this season?
