Flecks of Golden Glitter

 I was so excited to show you guys this new skirt that I wanted the day to be perfect. I usually like to save outfits like this for days where I'll actually be doing something, but I woke up today in kind of a weird mood and just needed to wear something pretty, even though all I would be doing was sitting at my computer churning out homework. 

I have been desperate for glitzy stuff because I feel like the month of December is really the only time where it's really appropriate to wear them. Don't get me wrong, I've been known to bust out my more "dazzling" pieces year round, but there's something about glitter in December that just feels right. When I was home for Thanksgiving, I really wanted to bring home my senior prom dress which is knee length and covered in gold and silver glitter and sequins. Alas, I forgot to bring it, which of course meant I had to buy something similar to substitute. I went to Urban Outfitters looking for Christmas stalkings to no avail. However, I did see a bunch of glittery pieces! I tried on probably about seven different gorgeous glittery things, but in the end because I wanted to save my money to buy presents for everyone for Christmas, I settled on this gorgeous maxi skirt. I'm so glad I did. Even though it's not really a piece a person can wear every day, I'm still so in love with it! I love the way light hits in, and shines through the sheer glittery maxi length sections. It's flowy, it's flattering, and it's glittery. What more could a girl want in a skirt? I can't wait to wear it more and more!

Adore-able

 Today is the first day that I only have a little bit of homework to do. (A five page paper isn't too bad, right?) Because I only had a little bit to do, I procrastinated a little bit and now am feeling a little rushed. However my procrastination time was spent sleeping in and picking out my outfit. I had a couple different variations of this outfit in my head, but settled on this one simply because it was the one that best show cased my Adore Me bra. My friend Kacie had a blog post about the store and I bought a set right after reading it. Their bras are a little too perfect to keep hidden, so I feel pretty confident in this outfit because of the little Adore Me touch.

When was the last time a fellow blogger inspired you to buy something?

Bob Dylan's Shoes

I am pretty obsessed with this jacket. I bought it at Nordstrom for $88, and it's super heavy and warm. It's kind of rare to find a really cute jacket (in my opinion) that's still super warm under $100. Trust me, coming from Alaska, I've given that search a damn good try. I'm definitely wearing this jacket back home for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I'm pretty confident I'll stay toasty warm. Not that I go outside for longer than necessary when I visit home in winter - But still!

Speaking of obsessions, I'm kind of also obsessing over these shoes. Not just these shoes, but any shoes even shaped like this. It's not exactly a new obsession, but it's one that gets a resurgence in fall/winter. Shoes like these always remind me of Bob Dylan. I know I've talked about how much I love his music, but I think it's also pretty plain to see I draw a lot of inspiration from him style wise. When I think about it, most of my style icons are boys. Weird? Maybe. Anyways, it's gotten to the point where, if Matt is over and I ask him to get out my "Bob Dylan shoes" it takes him a few tries because about 50% of she shoes I own are referred to as my "Bob Dylan shoes". Long story short, I love a good pair of shoes I could see a male musician wearing from the 1960s-1970s.

Where do you draw some of your shoe inspiration from?

Fall Essentials!

Hey everyone! I'm back home in Alaska where the internet access is limited, so I apologize for my lack of posts! (I wonder how many times I've apologized for that in the last month? Hmmm..) Anyways, it's my favorite time of year here in Alaska, and from what I can see in pictures, it's my favorite time of year everywhere else too! It's Autumn! I've expressed my undying love for the fall season's festivities, fashions, colors, and foods nonstop in this blog, and I figured it was finally time to do a blog post about some of my favorite things from my favorite season! Without any further ado, I give you, my fall essentials. :)

 1. A chunky, thick sweater that's great for layering

2. Thick socks, preferably worn sticking out of boots!

3. A deep red lipstick

4. A cute mug for coffee, tea, hot cocoa, or any other yummy hot drinks :)

 

 

5. A fitted leather motorcycle jacket
6. Cute booties in a fall color
7. A soft leather bag
8. A chunky knit beanie (Especially if you have a pixie cut!)
9. A good book to snuggle up with when the weather gets rough

 

 

10. A plaid skirt (Think "Clueless")
11. Opaque tights. Some in fun colors are always good, but also make sure you have a few in black!
12. Little stud earings
14. Cozy infinity scarf
15. Matte, neutral eye shadows (My favorites are Urban Decay's "Naked Basics" palette!)
16. This may not be an essential for everyone, but it is for me! A record player! There's nothing like keeping warm in your house or apartment, snuggled up with a hot cup of cocoa and your favorite record playing!

 

Well those are my fall essentials. Of course, there are some new trends I'll be trying this year, but this is just a list of things I come back to, year by year! - Is there anything you would have added onto the list?
