Goodbye 2011

 Hello my lovlies. This week has been a bit crazy with work. and unfortunately its wear I will be spending my New Years.  What a crazy year 2011 has been! For one, this little bloggy has been wonderful! Its given me an amazing outlet for my creativity and a place for me to grow. I've LOVED getting to know all of you and explore the blogging community. Its been so wonderful to me!

2011 was the year that:
1. My long distance relationship turned into a live-5-minutes-down-the-street-relationship
2. I saw the Canadian border
3. Drove aross 7 states in two days
4. Saw Niagara Falls
5. Saw Boyfriend graduate
6. GOT ACCEPTED INTO NURSING SCHOOL
7. Got a new car (pictures to come!)
8. learned Spanish
9. Visited Graceland
10. Went to the Andy Warhol's grave

Its been an AMAZING year and I cannot wait to see where 2012 takes me and where it will take this little blog. I hope that you will continue to visit, even though my posts may not come as often, and see where nursing school takes me!

I hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving weekend! Did anyone go Black Friday shopping? On Thursday at midnight me and my little sister went to Bath and Body Works and stocked up on smellums and Christmas gifts. I have enough stuff to last me a few years! haha

Did you score any good deals?

Vest

This is what I wore today. I bought this amazing vintage leather vest in Austin last year at the coolest vintage shop. Austin has the best vintage shops. You can find the most unique things there. I feel in love with this vest at first sight.

I dont know about you, but I am crazy excited about Thanksgiving this week!! I forone cannot wait to stuff my face!! Even though I am a vegetarian, on Thanksgiving I still eating my grandmas stuffing. Yes, she puts little bits of turkey in it, but for this one day of the year, I dont care. Its the best. Ever.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I get to see all of my family, and eat and the Chirstmas spirit is just begining. Me and my sisters have the tradition where we all wake up and watch the Macys parade together while we get ready to go to our grandmas.

What are you most looking forward to on Thanksgiving??

Weekend

This weekend has been spent doing the following:

1. Watching Breaking Dawn, which I thought was good, but not what I was expecting.

2. An Engagement party for Boyfriends brother.

3. Freebirds- the better Chipolte

4. Watching Bad Teacher- HORRIBLE MOVIE

5. Cuddling

6. Naps

7. Making a Veggie Pizza!! = fantastic (blog post on it soon!)

8. Spanish Homework

9. Paper for Tech Writing that is due on Monday

10. I went to F21 yesterday to buy a belt and attempt to buy a Christmas present - I had to leave the store. I was so depressed. I love clothes. and with NURSING SCHOOL starting in January, its best that I dont buy anything for a long time to help with expenses. Plus, its not like Im going to have the time to dress up super cute everyday. Its good and bad. Fashion is my hobby. and Im pretty much going to have to give it up for the 18 months Im in school. But its good because becoming a nurse is my dream (along with marrying Boyfriend and babies). Its just a tough situation.

How is your weekend going? 

thank you for all of the lovely comments. Im definately feeling better now.

 :)

I wore this outfit last week when I went out with some friends for drinks. 

The top was $3 thrifted and the pants were $10 from F21! yaa for cheap outfits!

I Do, I Do

This weekend I went to a wedding with Boyfriends family. It was very unique and beautiful and Im very happy for the couple!

I've been feeling a little down lately. Feeling not so great about myself.

I need to get back into my exercise routine and start eating healthy.

I feel like its really starting to show and I feel so down about how I look. Most of my pants dont fit anymore. I know I shouldnt be complaining. I know Im still a healthy size, but I dont feel my best, and I dont feel like me.

I just want my clothes to fit. I like them too much for them to not fit.

How do you cheer yourself up when your down??

What I wore:

Top: Mudd

Belt: Thrifted

Skirt: Thrifted

Clutch: F21

Necklace: World Market - aka- the best store ever!

Shoes: Target

(Im pretty sure CPW on these are amazing, I paid $25)

Grandma Sweater

Last week I was Skyping with little sister and she totally called me out - "What the heck are you wearing? That looks like something a Grandma would wear". Me - "I got it at a thrift store"

Sister -"Good, it looks like it."

Shes blunt and hilarious and I love her for it.

This sweater vest is acutally really awkward. After reading New Dress A Day for over a year now, I've had the urge to wear a sweater vest. So I found this beauty for 90 cents. SCORE. The idea was to wear it over a button up. But I felt that made me feel like a blobbbb. So, I cut the top in to a V neck, folded over the edges and wa-la! This is what I got. It was comfy and cute and perfect for a cloudy day studying.
