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!

enjoy the rest of your week! 

my maxi...

i am crazy for maxi dresses and maxi skirts.

the problem is, i can never find maxi dresses that aren't about a foot too long on me.

one of the problems with being short is that dresses always seem too fall at the most awkward lengths.

but, i found this one at ross and it is just the most perfect length for me.

that never happens.

seriously, never.

as soon as i found this one, i felt like i was just on a major roll so i started shopping everywhere for more.

 but unfortunately, i can't find another maxi dress that fits.

so ross... thank you.

my new love...

i am finally back to the blogging world after three weeks!

what's crazy is that it feels like it hasn't even been a whole week since i was last on here.

i hate that time goes by so fast.

during times like these when things are so chaotic, you look back and it seems like you missed the whole thing.

and people tell me that it's only going to get worse as i get older.

and i hate that...

definitely cause i'm a year older now.

yep, i turned 22 on the twelfth and it still just shocks me to say the number "twenty" in my age. 

there's just a part of me that wants to stay a little girl forever.

it's probably because i'm so spoiled by the people that love me and i just don't ever want that to go away!

(so if you're one of those people that love me and you're reading this, don't ever let that go away...you know who you are.)

hopefully within the next week or so i can get on here and share some special things from my birthday.

but for now, i have another outfit post- featuring my birthday present...to myself.

ahh these vince camuto boots.

i don't think i've ever loved a pair of shoes so much.

i was so excited when i found them on clearance at dillards.

one pair left, just my size.

it's one of the most exciting feelings in the world.

but that feeling was soon ripped from me when they couldn't find the matching boot in the back.

i was left standing there with one left boot, trying to decide if i should just buy it anyways.

but i decided to track them down online instead of awkwardly walking out of the store with one boot and not much of a plan of what i would do with the boot after that. 

so i found them on the designer's website.

not as much of a markdown but i didn't even care.

i was desperate at this point.

so now i have them and i'm never, ever going to let them go.

my very first fashion post...

so i wasn't originally planning on doing this.

but i went shopping yesterday and found these shoes.

aren't they beautiful?

but here's the thing.

they were orginally $100.

yeah, and i got them for $22.

and that is why i shop at marshalls.

they were on an additional clearance, so they weren't originally this cheap.

but still!

i didn't even think twice before putting them in my cart.

then i thought, i have to tell people about this.

i'm always looking at other girls' fashion blogs, and so i thought maybe i would give it a shot.

so here's what you must know.

my mom and i went out this morning to take these pictures, and the weather, well, it was 27 degrees!

so i was freezing.

i wish there was a word for colder than freezing.

because that's what i was.

so we worked fast.

and i mean fast.

so the pictures aren't perfect, but here's what we got...

outift:

top: downeast Basics

shrug: folio (received from a friend. kayla, where'd you buy this??)

skirt: sans soucci (bought at marshalls)

belt: calvin klein (also bought at marshalls)

shoes: Steve Madden (bought at marshalls, it's the place people!)

accessories: maurices and macy's.

   

ok and this next one i just couldn't resist posting.

here's my photographer.

look at that killer pose.

she taught me all there is to know about modeling ;)
