december style...

 ok, so first off i just want to say that if anyone happened to be on my blog over the last few days and clicked on any links or pictures and were redirected to spam websites- i'm sorry, it's because i was hacked.

having your blog hacked is a horrible feeling.

so i just wanted to let everyone know who has a blogger account and isn't using the google 2-step verification yet- get it now!

seriously. 

it's so easy and so fast.

but ok- on to better things...
i have been dying to wear red and gold for the christmas season.
i found these shoes at a thrift store last weekend and they are a half size too small but i don't even care!
they are so chrsitmasy...
i love them.
and i thought that this shirt was perfect as well.
i found it at rue21 for only $6!
i have been wearing rue21 a lot lately because it's the only store in my town and so, so cheap.
and i'm really starting to love the place.
and if you are looking for an extra holiday touch- this headband from monroe & harlow is just perfect!

cat lady...

i bought this skirt about a month ago and thought that the balck cats were so perfect for halloween!

unfortunately, i didn't get it posted in time.

but i still love it.

i'm constantly trying to push myself to wear things that will make me stand out.

i adore that quality in other girls.

so when i saw this skirt i knew that i had to get it because i really feel like it will catch everyone's eye.

at least i hope so!

i love target...

i think that most people would agree when i say that target is pretty much the greatest store ever.

{lately their home decor has been killing me}

i have always thought that they had cute clothes but have never really tried anything on more than once or twice in my life.

but the other day i was in urgent need of a dressy outfit and target was the most accessible store for me to find something in a hurry.

i found myself with piles of clothing in my arms, which i had not expected.

and then i was in one of those horrible positions in the dressing room where i had to decide what wasn't absolutely necessary for me to buy.

but i decided on this skirt and top.

{and another skirt that i will be showing you soon}

and i am just absolutely in love and happy with my target shopping emergency.

p.s.

my mom got these two suitcases plus another smaller one that matches, all for $1 at a thrift store.

such an adorable find.

bright prints and neutrals...

last week i ventured into a local mall here in california that i had never been to before.

i only went because my secret reward card from victoria's secret was about to expire. 

so i only planned on spending a few dollars at most.

but of course, i found myself exploring lots of new shops and boutiques that i had never been to before.

so naturally, i bought...

 and bought...

 and bought.

my excuse?

well i have to buy new clothes because i need something to blog about.  

sometimes blogging is just the worst for my wallet. 

but sometimes a girl just needs an excuse to shop her little heart out. 

top: joppa

skirt: charlotte russe

shoes: steve madden via marshalls

bracelet: forever21

purse: gifted

my cute photographer for the day.

this is the california that i love.

not the beaches.

not the fancy cities and towns.

(although i do love those as well)

but these beautiful big mountains covered in green bushes.

this is what i fell in love with when i was a little girl.

and i continue to fall more in love every time i see them.

...

i love to sparkle.

my closet loves...

 rompers have become a favorite of mine this summer.

they are so comfortable and so easy to pair with a cute belt and accessories.

i may be moving very soon to somewhere where the weather is much warmer all year round...

so i am hoping that i will have a few months left to wear these rompers, because i am just not ready yet to put them away yet!
