little monsters

A quick snapshot of what I wore today as I was quite literally walking out the door. There's a little monster coming and going on this top, making it all that more awesome, and its drape-y shape inspired me to take a break from wearing all those skirts. I must say there is something quite charming about this creepy creature, and even more so when he is sweetened up with an oversized bow.

coke + skirt

I know I have accosted you guys with variations of skirts this week, but I can't seem to stop pulling them off my shelf in the morning. They are just so easy to mix and match with different patterns, and dress up or down to your heart's desire. This skirt was a v-day present from my mum, which I paired with one of her sweaters (I could envision it with bold eggplants and pinks come spring). I usually stray away from a head to toe brown ensemble, but I dig the surprisingly cohesive textures and patterns here, along with the complimenting pops of red. Plus, matched with an ice cold Coke, this winter look seems all the more spring-like.

scribble

I had a little hair therapy this weekend and added some much needed layers to my do. I became obsessed with the gorgeous, flippy look my hairdresser molded my hair into, so much so that I was actually sad when I had to wash it a few days later. (Lets be serious, I will never be able to recreate this on my own!). And speaking of love, I also kind of love this outfit...I might have to repeat it in the near future.

be mine, valentine

I have wholeheartedly embraced today's holiday in every way. When else can you unapologetically dress up in pinks and reds, stuff your face with the sweetest treats, and write little love notes to that special valentine?

Have a Happy Valentines Day!!

generic cereal

Although this isn't the most fashionable post, this coat has been a savior in keeping me toasty all winter, so I thought it deserved to be featured. I have always been a little hesitant buying pieces a lot of people own, but I am so happy I caved. Actually being warm outside is such a great feeling! This is typically what I look like as of late -- a pair of boots, chunky scarf, fun accessories and said coat of course -- along with some kind of getup hiding underneath. I love photos taken in everyday spaces, and these were so fun to shoot, although my photographer and I did get in trouble for taking these. I think we might have been discovered when we took the picture of us in the security camera monitor...!!

pastel mirror

My boyfriend took this picture of me the other day while I was hiding away and chatting on the phone. He has grown into a huge fan of helping me take the pictures for my blog, and I am definitely not complaining -- this has quickly become one of my favorite pictures. Strangely enough, my apartment's bathroom is also one of my favorite rooms here. It is like a French pastel getaway, with sprays of yellow flowers and pretty cupcake colors.
