These Days: Evolution

 Life has been really relaxing lately. School just started back up again, which means there are no big projects to date. (Yet..) I've met some new nice people, I've been holding strong to my resolutions, and I really feel like I've been growing as a person. I'm a very adaptable person, to the point where I crave change; so for me, there's nothing more refreshing, exciting, or natural than feeling yourself grow and evolve. I always think of everyone having their own individual evolution, and the final evolution is to be a full, complete, true, and kind person. Not everybody makes it there, but I'm damned determined to.

That's my insight for the day. Here's some random photos of my life and stuff. Love to you all. 

Christmas Wishlist: 2013

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a long time. I've been so busy with school, but I took my last final yesterday and am feeling so relieved. I also haven't been posting because I'm leaving back to Alaska for the Holidays and won't be back until January 5th. If I were blogging this month, I would really want it to be for the whole month and all Christmas related posts, but I know I won't be able to blog much, if at all, when I'm back home. It makes me really sad, so that's why I haven't posted much so far this month. However, I've been thinking a lot about my blog, and when I return in January I plan on changing some things! I'm not sure what yet, but I've been blogging for a while now and feel my blog needs to be revamped; whether it's in design or content or both! Hopefully you all will be as excited about that as I am!

I couldn't bring myself to not post a Christmas list though, so I threw my wishlist together through Photoshop for you guys! Comment below and let me know what you've been asking Santa for this year. :)

Geek Squad

Finally, a cloudy day! I was so bummed that out of all the days that it has been sunny and I've been miserable in sleeveless tops, the one day it's overcast and I'm not feeling well and have nothing to do for the day! If I had class today, I would have been so excited to wear this outfit out. I bought this sweater a few weeks ago but haven't had a chance to wear it. It was still kind of muggy today, but I didn't even care. I'm that desperate for sweater season!

I really liked the way the photos came out today in this weather, too. When it's really sunny outside, it creates harsh shadows and they're harder to correct later on in the editing process. Overcast days give out even shade and I love it for taking photos! It might not be pretty outside, but the photos look pretty, and that's what matters to me when it comes to blog pictures!

I love it when I go shopping and afterwards when I'm looking through what I bought, I find pieces that would go great together. That's what happened with this skirt and sweater. I bought them both at the same time, and when I got home and was unpacking my shopping bags, I envisioned this outfit! The looseness and length of this sweater makes it perfect to wear with a skirt like this. It gave off a nerdy vibe to me, so I definitely thought it was a day to skip the contacts and bust out the antique-y clock necklace I've had for years but haven't worn in forever! Gotta love old favorites. 

Do you ever come home from a shopping spree and realize you had a perfect outfit picked out and didn't even realize it?

Tangled Up in Blue

Hey guys!

Today, I woke up and just wanted to feel "cute". Cute, to me, translates to peter pan collars, and lately it also translates to the color blue. I am in love with peter pan collars, and always have been. I've had this top for a few years now actually, and still love it. Which is a feat for someone who buys new clothes as much as I do! It's such a pretty color blue and it is so versatile. I've worn it with hot pink jeans and gotten lots of compliments, and dark wash jeans and a black cardigan. Today, because I'm not doing anything but grocery shopping and homework, I thought a casual look with rolled up straight leg jeans would do just the trick.

Trendy Tuesday: Statement Sunglasses!

Hey everyone! It's Trendy Tuesday! I'm going to keep it brief this time around, because I think today's Trendy Tuesday subject is really something you either love or you don't. For me, I would love to be able to rock the statement sunglasses trend right now, but unfortunately my eyes are horrible and as of right now, I'm stuck with glasses on all the time! I think sunglasses can be a fun way to add a bit more personality to an outfit. As far as over the top shades, it's a personal decision on how comfortable you feel with the more outlandish sunnies. But there's something for everyone!
What's your opinion on the statement sunglasses trend?
