faux fur...

does anyone else love this purse???

i found it at h&m before christmas and it was on clearance!

i could not say no.

anything made of faux fur kills me.

that is another style staple that i hope doesn't go away anytime soon! 

along with my leather leggings.

ohh my gosh i practically live in them! 

i try to limit myself to wearing them once a week.

how bad is that?!

seriously, they are my absolute favorite.

and i got them at a thrift store!

i have never been able to find a pair that i love more than these.

if anyone knows of a good affordable brand though- let me know because i'm definitely in need of some new leather!

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.

dear fall, i will miss you.

 in less than two weeks, i will be living in southern california.

although i am so excited to live just a few miles from the beach where it is sunny and warm year-round, i will miss the changes that come with each season.

especially fall.

in fact, i just found out that i will be spending thanksgiving this year with my california relatives at the beach.

thanksgiving at the beach...?

as wonderful as it sounds, it just doesn't seem right.

and oh man, what am i going to do when christmas time comes around and i can't wake up each morning hoping the streets are covered in snow??

well...

i guess i'll just have to go to the beach and get over it!  

i think i will survive :)

here's to fall...
