BLACKFRIDAY

I'm not a big fan of Black Friday but I did my daughter duty and helped my mom and dad at Target last night at 9pm. I'm so pleased with my experience, because it was super easy to get inside and the crazies didn't show up.  What did my family buy? My dad begged me to grab a 32 inch flat screen.

I just wanted to snag a few sweaters  and a new blender. I'm not a big fan for electronics and couldn't comprehend why people waited so long in the line for iPhones and iPads. My mom grabbed up a few house appliances for my brother, that is moving out next month. He was quite happy that we did this favor for him, while he sat in outside in front of a sporting goods store. They gave out free food and coffee! How sweet for the those poor souls standing out all night.

I had a good night's sleep and I woke up at 7 and went off to buy a few more things at the mall.
I went to JC Penny's, and Express. We were in and out by 11:30  and went home to watch Husker College Football. Now I'm all bundled up in sweats. It's quite frigid and I don't want to leave my house! Time to spend the night with a little reading material and a cup of hot cocoa.

Also so many thanks and hugs to everyone!

Also be thankful ladies and gents for all you have. Remember many are not as fortunate.

Two Things

It's a terrible feeling torn between two things. I've been figuring out which new additions I need buy for my closet for the winter. I finally broke down and bought an adorable double breasted coat from Zara and I'm so pleased with it. It came package so carefully. Not too long for my petite figure either! It only bothers me that it has not been cold enough to wear it outside. I'm hoping it will be cooling down this weekend to put it when I go on my date. But I don't have a freaking clue what else to wear! Also I'm terribly nervous. Please, feel free to give me a little advice or words of wisdom.

Possibly the cutest silk dress I've found, too bad it's getting too cold. I wish I lived somewhere warm.

 

Thanks for reading!

White and Black

 I might be the only girl that is loving this heat. Just spent some time sitting poolside, sadly I did not see any cute guys that qualified to be blogged about. Bummer!

Not lame, was finding a really cute black and white top last weekend at JC Penney. Also I picked up this gray clutch from the nearby Goodwill for a small reasonable price. Summer sales are just starting but I've hit a few a my favorite for deals on some quality items. Have you found any thing special during the sales?
Also only a few more weeks until my next trip! Summer is moving so quick, I feel like I barely have time to blog. LE sigh, I have to go to prepare tonight's dinner.

Transitional Time

It's finally feeling like spring. I'm not one to venture out in shorts right away but I got too excited to wear this outfit. It was almost 80 on Tuesday and Wednesday.  I honestly never wear this shirt but I recently I've been loving the color and it looks so good belted, tucked in or just loosely worn outside with my boyfriend shorts. I'm not quite ready to wear sandals but expect to see lots of my studded flats.

My little dogs couldn't resist being involve in my pictures. They are so lovable and fluffy. Also finally my spring break has come and I couldn't be any happier. One whole week to spoil myself and no worries about class. I'm curious to know what you girls or guys are doing this weekend ? I have a thrift store adventure planned. I hope it's as fun as many claim. See you soon lovelies!

Outfit: Top:American Apparel; Shorts: Forever 21 (old), tank: Target, shoes: Dillard's, bracelet: Shopko.

What I Want Spring Edition

Sigh, February  needs to move along. I have the urge to wear all my light short dresses right now. I have to force myself not to go out in them because I would freeze my legs.
I keep on wanting to buy lace shorts, loose knit or silk tops,  girlie prints and midi length dresses, bright bags for carrying all my shit! I honestly can't wait for spring to arrived to enjoy being outside and all the new items that are in the stores!
So dear readers, what is the one thing you can't wait for when spring arrives?

ps. I'm wishing so much that I could be in NYC right now! So jealous of all you lucky girl who could attend NYFW!

PYT

Sigh, once I get use to something, such as 60 degree weather. I really don't want it to disappear.  Also this little break from the cold has inspired numerous spring outfits. I wish I had sunshine and cool breezes. Stupid, groundhog hid from his shadow and now we have six more weeks of winter. The spring is one of my favorite time, just because it reminds of new life and fresh start.

Sadly, Friday night a ridiculous snow storm blew past and over 10 inches of snow covered the whole city. Saturday, due to hazardous roads I stayed at home.  Sunday, I spent some time out. Checked out Target for the Jason Wu collection. I as soon as arrived, I found out they were not given any thing from the collection! How disappointing to find out only a few stores were selling the dresses. So I guess I missed this one. Oh well, I still wandered around and found these lovely glitter ballet flats and the black hat on sale for 2.58!

I even went over to Marshall's. They had a rather large clearance sale. I love browsing their racks for a steal. You can all guess that I went home a very happy girl, even without any Jason Wu for Target.

Black ankle boots, faux fur vest and bomber hat all found at Marshall's.  Black hat and ballet flats from Target.

 


Thanks for reading loves!  

miss me?

 I already feel better about this week. The weather has been pretty, sunny and kind of warm. I still have to wear coat but I love winter wear. It's all so cozy and I love wearing lots of layers. Although it's not so practical for classes. 
Also I've been working out a lot at the gym. It should help that some of those guys are quite attractive. I'm just too shy to approach any, so I just stick to the free weights and treadmill with my iPod plug in. Maybe, I'll take some time to talk to one of them. Also, I've found that music really does make it seem less tiring. One of these days, I'll post some of my favorite workout songs.

What I'm wearing: tshirt Mango, jeans Jessica Simpson, sweater Target, necklace Forever21, bracelet Shopko.

My Every Growing Love....

I need to write a love letter to Target. I'm not one to denied their recent controversy but this kind of a hard drug addiction.  I want to avoid getting into my sick obsession but let me explain why I will be spending lots of time at Target this fall.

Hello, Missoni for Target. The collection overall is adorable  and all have that 70's vibe, from clothes to plates. They even made one pretty bicycle. I'll be impatiently waiting for September 15th, when this collection hits stores. Until, I'll be flirting with the cute barista at the Starbucks kiosk.

I Saw A Crazy Blonde

So in Nebraska, the people are constantly gossiping about some music chick. I guess she's pretty well know for wearing crazy avant garde outfits and painfully high heel shoes. She's made appearances on tons of international programs, won loads of awards, etc. I'm sort of trying to figure out how to explain my emotions about seeing Lady Gaga.

 



Let me state, that I'm not one of those crazy fanatics that worship her. I'm truly just a humble music/ fashion admirer. I came to support my younger sister and her friends. I took some  photos with them around her.

Also it was super awkward for me. I didn't have a sign, I wasn't screaming or crying. I kept my composure but I did tell her hello when Gaga passed by me. She gave me such a gracious smile, then was raided by a bunch of anxious teens begging her to sign magazine clips or CD covers.

 The only question I wanted to ask her if she could lend me her first dress? In case you are curious, she wore a lace short white cocktail dress inside, then changed into the golden beige full length dress. Simply fabulous, maybe a little too fashion forward because not a single person knew what she was wearing.

Overall, I was so flattered. I hope to see her perform in the future. 

Omaha= Fashion?

I know I've complain numerous times about the lack of appreciation for fashion in Omaha. Let's face it typically would not think anything special about some girl blogging on and on about shoes would not be stuck living in a small city. But this week Omaha, held is third year of Omaha Fashion Week. I find extremely fascinating because finally more people are less interested in bootcut jeans and hooded sweatshirts. 


I seriously did not know much about the designers until recently. I know many of them are my peers and that most will not read my words but I hope the blogging community can see that Omaha does have a presence in fashion.


But sadly I didn't go to the runway show, because I had plans to attend a wedding. I knew months in advance I wouldn't be going.

But here's is my review of a few local designers. I'm sorry if this comes off as catty but I'm just being honest. Also sorry for the length of the post but I still hope you enjoy all the pictures and commentary. 

Jean Genie

Why the hell is Wrangler Austrailia so damn cool? 

Look how sexy those those shorts and bodysuit are from the lookbook. I seriously want to go out and buy a pair.  I checked out the US site, but then I saw some race car driver and knew these were still the same jeans that my father buys for when he does work on the cars. How sad, that they decides to only sell this lovely stuff outside it's country of origin. 


I have the worst time buying jeans. I only have 5 pairs. I recently bought some from American Eagle. I actually like how they fit and the darker ones are so much nicer than the lighter, bleached ones. Please tell me, where do you buy your jeans? 




ps. Thanks for the super lovely comments. You have no idea how much I enjoy reading them.
