weekend wears

this weekend was a lazy one. anthony and i did a whole lot of nothing. and it was awesome. in between lounging on the couch and watching endless amounts of gilmore girls (we're almost done the fifth season!), we did manage to squeeze in time to go tour apartments. we're looking to move closer to dc this summer, so the apartment hunting has officially begun! it's so exciting look at potential places. we are trying to find somewhere in a nice area, that isn't too expensive, so we have our work cut out for us. already the first place we looked at was amazing! so i think we're off to a great start. 

friday night we stayed in, ordered pizza, and played monopoly (typical night for us, ha!) and it couldn't have been more relaxing. my weekend laziness made me want to escape the leggings and sweaters and put on a nice outfit for our apartment adventure. i ordered this new coat from h&m after seeing pale shadow wearing it in a post a few weeks back. it's just so pretty! and i love the fit. it was on major sale, so i only spent $30! not bad for a stylish winter(ish) coat.

these little booties are also new from a shoe shopping extravaganza i went on at charlotte russe a couple months ago. i hadn't worn them yet (oops!) and now i don't want to take them off! the heel is just right for a tall gal like me and they're just plain comfy. paired with my favorite denim cuffed skinnies i was ready for a fun day out and about.

i won this necklace through a giveaway delightfully tacky hosted a few weeks back and it's just so beautiful! it truly is a statement necklace, and i thought pairing it with dark, solid colors would make it the focal point of the outfit. sometimes, simplicity is key. i love the chic, preppy feel of this outfit. it's a little different than what i might normally wear, but i liked trying something new!

i hope everyone's monday is off to a great start. i'm eating korean bbq for dinner tonight so basically today is going to be awesome. thanks for checking in!

xxoo,

happy monday! and for once, this monday is actually a happy one ha. it's the first day of my week off (!!) for thanksgiving break. i couldn't be more excited to spend the day with anthony. we plan on watching movies, going on a frozen yogurt run, and eating leftovers. we have lots because yesterday we decided to make a little thanksgiving feast. we are both going home to celebrate thanksgiving with our own families, but still wanted to celebrate together. we made so many yummy things. check out my instagram for some pics!

a little while ago, this great website chicnova reached out to me about working together. after browsing their site, it was pretty obvious that they were right up my alley. fun prints, cute sweaters, etc. i couldn't wait to get my hands on some of their items!! my first pick was this geometric patterned cardigan. it's quirky and light and the perfect thing to throw on before i run out of the door to class. 

i'm in love with all of the crazy shapes and the cool sleeves. it goes great with a slouchy tee and some simple jeans. i wore this to the mall the other day with anthony to get a head start on some christmas shopping! i can't believe that it's exactly one month til christmas! how crazy is that? have you started your christmas shopping? so much to do, so little time!

i won this great black & gold necklace in a giveaway through delightfully tacky! giveaways are so fun and i won five awesome pieces from juicy dealz. they have new items all the time and at great prices. i felt so lucky to receive so many awesome jewels. and again, i couldn't resist from my favorite combination, black and brown. although i love color, sometimes i just want to wear all neutral colors. and of course no comfy outfit is complete without glasses. (they're fake, shhhhh...)

hope everyone has a great week. happy almost thanksgiving, y'all!
