No more high school football games for me!

Our team lost to this outstanding team from Austin, I believe it was? today.

I just wanted to post and say that I love this article from StyleCaster. I wanted EVERY pair of shoes on that runway, no lie. If I won the lottery, I would buy them all.
So this made me giggle a bit.


Oh and also, I'm so tempted to go into my savings account to purchase this t-shirt:


Anyone that knows me personally knows that I am unhealthily obsessed with Mary Kate. Okay, that does sound creepy, but she is just one of my all-time style icons. She has a page in my style spiral that I should post sometime.
But yeah...loving this shirt to death. I adore both of the twins. (P.S. If you've not bought/read their book, Influence, omagah..just, just go get it already! It's so lovely.)
Also, all other MKO t-shirts to be found are rude or tacky it seems like, sporting sayings such as "Feed Mary Kate." =[

Happy Black Friday!

& belated Turkey/Tofurkey Day.
Hope everyone's holiday went joyously!

So today, I tried to wake my lazy butt up at 7 AM, but ended up sleeping in an hour. School's arrival next week is definitely going to be tough, I already know. I've spoiled myself this week by sleeping a lot.
And tomorrow..our football team is playing in San Antonio at the Alamodome, and being in the band, I must attend. Our call time is 7:45, yuck.
Oh well though. It will be fun.



Anyway, who went shopping this Friday?! I went out and bought a small bottle of Lola with some lotion, a new handbag, and some goodies from Victoria's Secret (I love VS, even if they do get sued by Juicy Couture..)
I need to start Christmas shopping soon, so that it won't be a procrastinated [but always fun] project like years past.

My bargain shoppin', door bustin' outfit for today was as follows:

Urban Renewal shirt,
vintage necklace,
vintage rings,
Silence & Noise liquid leggings,
& Sam Edelman Zoe boots.
Oh, and there is my little chubster, Cat Von D. Our elderly poodle Shadow is in the background.

You can't see the necklace I'm wearing, but it's really neato so I took a close-up.

This is one of my favourite vintage finds (found in my great-aunt's jewelry box).
The eagle is an interesting shade of bronze, different than just about any other piece of jewelry I own, and it reminds me a lot of the Aztecs, or some type of Native American culture. I love the design of it.


I'm off to find something to munch on.
Have a lovely Black Friday, stay safe!

Back in action!

Oh dearr. So after a long, long hiatus I am posting again. After I came home from New York and school started back up, time just escaped me.
I am currently on Thanksgiving break, and I finally bought a car yesterday (my first car was smashed up in a terrible t-boning accident last summer, and it's taken us this long just to get another one.)
So things are really going, and going well!

Today I woke up and was lazy for the morning, reading Eclipse for a bit (btw, New Moon = AMAZING, yes?! Yes.) and watching Will & Grace, as well as What Not To Wear.
I ran errands in the afternoon, which included perfume perusing..I'm thinking Lola by Marc Jacobs is on my wishlist, then took my father to dinner. Then tonight I spent some good time catching up with old friends. It was definitely delightful.

Oh, and my outfit for all of this?
Not exactly what you'd call good quality, but oh yeah, another update: my computer recently crashed and painfully died..all of my things are now on this massive hard drive that is collecting dust on my desk, due to the sad fact that I have no idea how to access the things on it.
Sooooo, my dad actually got a new computer (which is completely bada**, I might add! Touch screen, what?!) and so I am using his webcam. Because webcams, to me, are synonymous with enjoyment and good [clean] fun.
Anywhoo, outfit!
Shirt & skrit from H&M,
tights from like..Walgreens or Wal-Mart or someplace,
vintage rings,
belt from who knows where,
a Scooby Doo bandaid (who cuts their finger with tweezers?!)
and amazing but awfully uncomfortable pink heels from Shoedazzle (Breast Cancer Awareness pumps!)


More of the shoes:







So, I will try very hard to keep this up. I am so inspired by bloggers like Jane and Rumi and Tavi. So I need to get it together!
Goodnight.
