Going Out With A Bang!

 The weekend passed by so quick. I got to see all my close friends and family members. I've truly had so many reasons to celebrate through out the year. I've met so many wonderful people and fortunate to pursue one of many passions. I've been so happy these past few days. One of the many, came as an early Christmas present. I found out I passed my math class which made for the best Christmas present.Along with a few gift cards and leather boots.
My mom treated me to a haircut last week. It's much lighter than in the photo.  I love the look of my hair right now.



Trying to decide on what to wear for NYE. I don't have any concrete plans but I just want to sparkle. (Please don't say any Ke$ha references). I bought this coat from a consignment store for 20 dollars! It's such a great fit.  I'm thinking that I would wear slim pants, white blouse and just add some simple jewelry. Hopefully, this New Year's will be memorable.  May you enjoy the rest of 2011 and happy 2012 from me to all you lovely girls and guys!

Some Kind Of Feeling

Winter break has started off better than expected. I'm done with shopping for next weekend. Today I went to this amazing new restaurant and I ate some spicy fish tacos. Sadly I forgot to bring a camera but it gives me a reason to go back. 
I spent most of the day watching Gossip Girl. I haven't seen many episodes since season 3. It's getting more addicting and I keep on swooning of the wardrobe. I miss watching the drama between Chuck and Blair. So glad I started that I'm considering watching the all the seasons. Do you have TV show recommendations? Anything I've been missing?

Guess Who????

I passed survived my exams! Now it's time to kill time on Netflix and  hang out drinking with my friends. I plan on being a total bum for the next three weeks. Who am I kidding, I'm a workaholic. I guess that's the part of being a Virgo. I love being occupied. I have small list of things I'd like to accomplish.
1. Buy a NYE outfit. I need a dress and some sexy heels.
2. Go ice skating. I haven't tried in years but it sounds like so much fun.
3. Bake cookies with my sister.
4. Buy a gift for my parents.
5. Find a boy to kiss at midnight. Such an ideal way to begin 2012!



Look, I'm wearing cute clothes; the sweater and necklace, I picked up from Forever 21. The ring I bought at a flea market in Spain. I had a few grad parties this weekend. I felt so proud to see my friends walk across the stage. I can't wait for my own ceremony next year! Also, how serious or unamused  do I come off in this picture? I swear I do actually smile.

Bisous for all the comments and support. ♥

I Can't Wait.

Oh, hell. no! The snow finally arrived. I woke up a few days ago to three or four inches. I expected a little bit through out the week. Just imagine, little me running around my university in a parka hood. I can't help but think that I look like shit. This whole week my outfit consisted of heavy sweaters,  skinny jeans and boots. I'm so ashamed of my appearance during finals. I can't wait to bust out of my rut for New Years. I feel like posting my resolutions for 2012. 

I'm almost done for the semester. Words cannot explain my excitement. Although, I wish I could head down south. A beach and a magarita sound like a perfect escape from the freezing ice storms. In between wanderlusting, I dedicate my time hitting the book. Goddamn, final exams! If I survive the stressful nights and pain, I promise to post outfits. Until, enjoy the instagram pictures from this week!

ps. Follow me if you use insta.gram. 

These boots are amazing! No slips on the ice so far.#winte


Snow.

Starbucks and homemade chili.

Look at Me.

So not happy about the cold weather. I try to make the best of winter. Although, I completely loathe the cold and the snow. I'm trying to avoid going all black and making the most of my closet.
My best friend and I check out the local anthropologie. I couldn't afford anything, except a small perfume. It smells like a sweet summer garden. I miss the summer. I would love to escape during winter break. Can I just fantasized about laying by the pool and drinking mojitos all day?
No, I have finals and I sort of need to study. Also some projects to finish instead I fucked around and made a playlist. I wish I had somebody around to listen to some good music and enjoy a simple meal while drinking a bottle of wine.
If the songs don't work, just google them. It's worth a listen. I need to figure out how to make this easier. Have a fantastic weekend lovelies.

Holiday Wishlist

I'm not going to lie, I'm addicted to playing around on polyvore. I haven't used in in forever and all the sudden I'm back to making sets. It's one my favorite hobbies during the winter because I can't handle the cold and I did not have to work this weekend. I had spent such a lovely time with the family. I hung out with the family Thanksgiving day. We had an intense game of Apples to Apples granted the whole table finished 3 bottles of wine in two hours! Later I went out drinking with my brothers and their friends. I went out to store at 5 am during Black Friday. I found boots for my sister. I also loading my cart full of college football items. All the men I know love football.
As for myself, I'm trying to give hints to my own. I think it's clear that I love neon and bold colors, glitter and leather. So many goodies that have caught my eye. I plan on posting more later.
1. Leather coat, this one reminds me of the Olsens, enough said.
2/ 8. Laptop sleeve I hopefully shall get a new laptop sleeve or purse. My backpack is barely surviving the semester.
3/5 Shoes, I swear every list I include shoes. They are my biggest weakness.
4. Lime Crime Lipstick. I want them all!
6. I already mention to my parents the new Nikon J1 camera. My mother loves the variety of colors. She might get one for our trip next summer. The rest is just clothes and beautiful accessories
7. Karen Walker Sunnies, they becoming my favorite brand right now. I love these slightly cat eye frames.
Thanks for reading. Lots of love to you and all your family!

Being Thankful

The year is almost done and it's going to be such an excited time. I have so many plans for 2012. But right now, I've been reflecting on all that has happen this year.

From this weekend
Things I'm Thankful...

1. . Family. This whole week my brother from the Marine Corps is visiting before setting sail across the Pacific. I wish my brother best. He's so warm and kind. I hope he comes home safe.

2. Black Friday sales. It's time to suck it up and try to find the best deals around the city. Most stores are crazy, but I'm really love going to small locally own stores. Support Local Saturday this weekend while visiting the family. Besides, I go to the mall and want to leave after one hour. Too many crazies!

3. Holidays. I'm such a sucker for the winter festival's in my hometown. The downtown area is all lit up all night long. It looks so magical. I must take pictures this year. Also I enjoy Starbuck's holiday treats. I wish I could treat more

4.Recently received an honors award from the university. It was such a lovely evening with my peers. I was so excited to received it after working so hard all year.

I'm thankful to be able to express myself. Also for all the thoughtful and clever comments. I  Love all my readers! Thank you all so much!

Have a spectacular Thanksgiving.

Family Drama

Hey readers, I've said how much I love the mutiple choices for dressing during fall. It's so easy to wear an outfit that keeps myself warm and comfortable in the morning. By the afternoon, I don't have to removed any items because it's still cool enough to wear layers.

I'm so excited for Thanksgiving next week. My whole family is coming to Omaha. Also it's my adorable grandpa's 80th birthday during the same weekend. Now to figure out what to wear to both events. I don't plan on dressing up too much. I've been told that over 60 people will attend both events. I'm one of 40 nieces and nephews! My family most likely will be have a variety of worn light colored jeans, ironic slogan t-shirts, aged college sweatshirts, and dusty work boots. I never worry about how they dress but I tend to hear some mocking about my clothes.

My wardrobe is slightly different.I love wearing dresses to any type of event but I considering my family style. I try to tone it down but I can't help but show off my "princess" status. My cousins swear that I am from my mother's side of family, that makes me feel like a black sheep. I don't understand why they call me out for taking time to put on makeup or buy clothes all the time. I don't me to whine. I hate that seems that I only care all about me. I understand that they might never accept my style. I'm proud to stand out of the crowd. I'm not going to stop anytime wearing heels and skirts. Does any one feel like a style snob around the relatives?

Little Things Make Me Happy

Hello lovelies,
I went to my favorite restaurant during the weekend. I get the occasional craving for sushi and I was so stoked to go to Sushi Blue on Saturday night. Besides the few bites of joy, I also drank a superb cocktail. I swear I'm not an alcoholic but I really enjoy  fruity drinks. My family could not believe how fast I drank that  sangria.
What did you girls do during the weekend? Did anyone else go to the stores? I could tell that people were getting a head start on their holiday shopping. I have a feeling it's going to be one crazy Black Friday.

Kiss Kiss

Hello again, this weekend was so fast. I had tons of fun that I forgot all about my camera and never took any photos. Silly excuse but who remembers anything when you are at a party.

I recently bought this lipstick I'm wearing below. It's Fuchsia 030 by Revlon. I love this stunning color. I got while picking up my essentials. Yes, chocolate is an essential. I can't imagine, that




ps. Thanks for reading. Peace and Love!

I Don't Know You At All

Where did this week go? I'm ready for weekend. I plan on checking out a few parties and taking a break from exams and homework. Also, I did pass my math test this week. I tried to hold back my tears, last week after failing two quizzes. I told my family my discouragements about this class. I never felt so relieved after . I really need to pass this class to graduate next spring. I really wish I could take a small trip. I'm constantly looking for good travel deals. I'm surprised how well the photos turned out, I only had a few minutes before running to class.

I felt the need to reward myself after working so hard this month. It's time to go shopping! Now I found two beautiful pieces this week. This gorgeous thick knit striped and metallic sweater from Ann Taylor and these perfect leopard heels. They're not too high to wear to class! This is such a comfy outfit for those cool days that nobody has an idea to wear. I

leopard shoes

I would love to find some more sweaters like the one above. Sigh, any suggestions for around the internet? I already need to wear layers and boots. I already see the snowfall around the country. It's coming soon!
Have a fun Halloween weekend! Be safe and eat lots of candy!

Mermaid Costume

I had a dream about being a mermaid the other night. Sounds like a lovely idea for Halloween, right? Well when I google mermaid, I saw some creative ideas for Ariel, my favorite Disney Princess. I wanted to avoid the cliche. Also, I hate all those cheesy mermaid costume. I decided that I shall find my inspiration via, polyvore. I felt so drawn to this idea of wearing blues and greens. I imagine, draping myself in seashells and sheer fabrics. I might not sew anything but I'm going to find some body paint and glitter to add more dimension. It should be a fun night.

Blue Jeans

Hello dear readers, my goodness it's been a whole week. But I appreciated reading all your comments. I didn't think I would get so many. Thanks for cheering me up!  Oh, I really should be studying for midterms right now. I just have a problem focusing on one topic. Much of my time is spent is setting my books near the computer, so other people think I'm studying. 

I hate being all stressed out.  I was so occupied during the weekend, studying for a math test.  I just had the chance to snap a few photos during Saturday Brunch at Lisa's Radial Cafe in Omaha. I chose their sensational Stuffed French Toast. They filled it with pumpkin and cream cheese. I shared it with a plate of Egg's Benedict's with my mom but I really didn't want to give up the second part. Also they gave me the choice of coffee or hot cocoa. I went with the hot cocoa. I love how they made it. It reminded me when my mom would give my siblings and I mugs of hot cocoa when we arrived home after school in the winter/ fall.

I hope everyone has an amazing week. Time for me to hit the books and study hard.
