Over the bridge

(dress-f21, trench coat- old navy, boots- unlisted)

Here I bring to you some of my first outfit shots using my new canon rebel t3 that Dave took. I'm still getting the hang of it, but already the quality difference is amazing! You know, besides me not being able to make a normal face in any of these photos.

I love the location in Huntington Beach where these were taken though. Especially around the time the sun sets. The sky just looks so vivid and that bridge has a certain charm and architectural beauty. 

Next Monday I start up classes again and am already feeling a sense of dread. If only enjoyment and practicality coincided when it came to picking your major. All these business classes are killing me! Maybe I should think of it like a band-aid though. Be quick and just get it done.

Oh, and Winter, where have you gone? It was in the high 80's today in Southern California. Not that I'm trying to be a weather girl. That reports weather after the fact...

But goodness, I wish we actually got to feel the seasons around here.

So, brilliant news! I finally got myself a new camera! I'm infinitely excited about it. It was such a troublesome task to get it though. It was initially shipped to my front door last Saturday, but no one was home to sign for it, so I had to wait practically ages to go pick it up from the post office myself. It was torture! 

But anywho, now it's here, right next to me actually as I type this. You know what else is here? This awesome little cat that Dave got me! Continuing on from that picture, if you have never had these little Hello Panda cookies before, you must. They are the best!

The last couple pictures are actually from the Anthropology store at the Grove in L.A. Took a day trip there with mister Oscar. As far as the Anthropology store goes, when I have my own place, I want it to look just like it! The decor is so pretty and organic feeling all at the same time, I love it. Also, if you are in the mood for some insanely massive breakfast and you're around L.A. do check out The Griddle Cafe. Let's just say I was very glad to have been walking around a lot that day after eating there. That chocolate chip crusted french definitely needed to be walked off!

We meet again

(lace top- banana republic madmen collection, skirt- american apparel, tights- we love colors, shoes- bamboo)

Bye, bye ombre. Maybe one day we shall meet again. But for now, I'm back to my dark roots. It's taking a bit of getting used to though. I mistakenly went with a shade of brown darker than my hair has ever been, but I'm getting around to really liking it. It is throwing off my liking for so much black in my outfits though. I certainly don't want to be giving off a Wednesday Addams vibe everyday. I mean, a couple days a week, that's cool, but let's not go overboard.
And, and! these circle skirts from american apparel are without a doubt my absolute favorite. If they weren't quite so pricey I'd most definitely buy a larger assortment of colors. Honestly, everyone and everything is after my bank account right now. I just know...

I haven't had the chance to put together one of these posts in a while. Enjoy! xx

Glitter, shimmy, shine

Glitter ombre nails, yeah that happened. A bit of a mediocre job, but I honestly feel like it looks better in person. I used a few coats of a light pink O.P.I. Coney Island Cotton Candy first. I then threw on a light coat of O.P.I Rainbow Confetti on the top half of my nails. I did a couple heavier coats of the Confetti to build up the ombre effect.

And this perfume- my absolute favorite!

Wa Wa White Sheep

(sweater- forever21, pants-h&m, mary janes- bamboo, bow- from etsy shop)

So, you see, this sweater has a back story. Actually, no, it's hardly a back story. It's just that when I first saw it I knew it was meant to be. 

I'm a silly person. I'm perfectly okay with making a fool out of myself from time to time. There's this thing I like to do where I put my hands on the side of my head like ears and make a sheep noise. Sheep are just so darn cute, why wouldn't someone want to pretend to be one?? I mean, you know, at least those of us who aren't completely sane. But regardless, this is why when I spotted this sweater I knew I had to have it!

Moving on though, the bow I'm wearing in these shots is actually for sale in my etsy shop right now. I feel like I'm constantly fighting myself not to keep most of the little accessories I make. I've made quite a few more to add to shop inventory the last couple days, (including faux leather bow barrettes!) and just need to take pictures and post them up. Make sure to check back on the shop soon to see them for yourself!

And on a final note, these shoes, goodness gracious, I love them!

Okay, I'm done. Have yourselves a wonderful day! ♥
