Outfit of the Day: Preppy

(denim shirt-Gap, Sweater-JCrew)

(Jeans-Levi's Outlet)

(Tory Burch-Nordstrom)

(Michael Kors-Nordstrom)
I feel like I should be at a mansion on the east coast with this outfit, maybe playing some croquet on the massive lawn, sipping iced tea, getting ready to hop on the family boat later.  Generally my style is a little preppy but I went overboard today with the button up, cardigan and flats. Not to mention my hair is half up with one of those big tortoise shell clips.  My best friend makes fun of me all the time for my obsession with yachts, I tell her that someday I'm going to own a yacht with my perfect husband and two children (one boy and one girl of course).  First I should probably work on graduating and finding a job.  But a girl can dream right? 



I decided to show you a nail of the day too.  I'm loving this color. It's "bobbing for baubles" by Essie. I was always loyal to OPI until the Walgreens near me started selling Essie and I decided to give it a shot. I fell in love.  This color is a dark blue grey, a perfect winter color.  As you can see its already chipped a little but I cleaned the bathroom yesterday and haven't had time to fix them.  But I must say that for scrubbing a toilet and bathtub the polish has help up very well.

Outfits of the Days

(Michael Kors watch, Banana Republic bracelet)

This is what I wore to class last Thursday, I have retail management so I always feel like I have to look fashionable.  It was perfectly comfy and warm, for some reason the business school is always freezing. Not to mentions it's in the 20s here, but I haven't been able to bring myself to break out the big parka yet...maybe when it gets into the teens.

(Michael Kors watch, Banana Republic bracelet) 

As you can see I'm loving this watch and bracelet combo, I've worn it everyday for the past week now.

I love the super flared jean trend and was so excited when I found these at Gap in an ankle length, only problem is they attract every piece or fuzz, fur, lint and so on in sight.  I swear my lint roller has never seen so much action.

I'm still holding onto my flats, it hasn't snowed yet so I'm going to keep wearing them, to be honest I'll problem still wear them in 16 inches of snow.

November Favorites

I can't believe it's going to be December tomorrow! Where did November go? I feel like we were just celebrating Halloween.  November was a crazy month for me with midterms, group projects and student orgs. I thought I'd share some things that I've been loving this month, it's kind of a random assortment but I hope you enjoy!

First off is Moroccan Oil, this has saved my hair! As you can probably see I've used a lot. The water in my apartment is really damaging plus with the cold weather and my hair being so long I have to work really hard to keep it healthy. If you haven't already tried Moroccan Oil, TRY IT! I know its pricy but a bottle will last you a long time and it makes your hair so soft and shiny. 


One of my roommates, the roommate I share a bathroom with, works at Bath and Bodyworks so we have a lot of soap.  This vanilla berry sorbet is by far my favorite, it;s so smooth and makes me hands feel and smell amazing. 

With midterms and group projects I have barely had time to make myself a real meal, so I often end up eating peanut butter and nutella sandwiches, I mean you can't go wrong with chocolate and peanutbutter. My most recent discovery with nutella, is to eat it with strawberries! I can't wait to go home over break and make crepes with nutella and strawberries, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. 


Along with my peanut butter and nutella sandwich I always have pita chips! I could eat a whole bag of these in one sitting they are so good. 


I've always been a brown eye shadow kind of girl but wanted to try something new for my everyday look and found this wet'n wild eye shadow trio at Walgreens for like $3.  I figured I could give it a shot, and ended up falling in love.  The pink and brown shadows are amazing, the pink is great for everyday and I like to use the brown on my lid for a more evening look. I'm not a huge fan of the highlight color, but for $3 who cares! 


I have been wearing my rose gold Michael Kors watch with my Tiffany's bracelet nonstop for the past few weeks.  I love mixing metals and this look gives a statement without going overboard, people tend to stare at me when I walk around with a huge stack of bangles clanking in the library.  


My hair is stick straight and has gotten so long that I get bored with it easily, I love my Hot Tools curling iron. It heats up super fast and I can do loose curls in about 7 minutes. 


I've had this sweater forever, and it's one of my favorite sweaters I own. I wear it at least once a week and definitely caught myself wearing it 2 to 3 times a week in November. Its so comfortable and oversized which is perfect for those cold November morning walks to the library. I bought it at Nordstrom Rack awhile ago, but big knit oversized sweaters are everywhere right now. 


I've really gotten into the loose flowy top trend. They are perfect for a night out, just throw this on with skinny jeans, pumps and a leather jacket and you're set! The colors in this one are amazing and goes with so much. I bought it at Hot Mama over the summer and have just started getting some serious use out of it. 


You may remember from my tweets how excited I was to get these boots. I made a blog post about them when I first got them. It took awhile to break them in, they definitely were not comfortable at first but now I could walk in them for hours. 


And those were my November favorites. I'm so excited for December, for Christmas, my birthday, going home to see the family for a little bit, and one of my best friends is coming to visit me! I just have to get through finals! I can guarantee I will be living in that sweater and those boots!
