Hello again! Long time no see, eh? I feel as though I say that too much lately... I hope your New Years was lovely, mine certainly was. I just relaxed, played League, baked, and slept. It was. Beautiful. Now I find myself watching episodes of Merlin, Catfish, and playing Jenga. (Not by myself, guys.)

Although I would like to post more often, I feel like lugging a DSLR everywhere isn't exactly optimal. So I give you the ultimate solution: 

Follow me on Instagram! :) I update a bit more frequently, and I'm in need of a few followers and a few to follow! 

As for now, I will keep updating this blog with outfit posts and writing and let's keep in touch, yeah? How are you guys doing anyway?! How did you spend your Winter Break, and what are your New Year's Resolutions? Mine is to be a more sympathetic person.

party like it's december 20th.

Happy Holidays, and a big congratulations to the surviving members of the end of the world. We did it, guys! 

But yes, finals are over and relaxation has commenced! As you can tell I've already started on the gluttonous consumption of sugar: I made the infamous Jacques Torres cookies and they were hands down THE BEST COOKIES I'VE EVER MADE IN MY LIFE LIKE EVER. Everyone loved them, and it was so fun to wrap them up in wax paper and make little gifts out of them. I also bought a special Christmas cupcake from Caketini (did I mention that I totally use my friends' employee discounts wherever they work?). I'm a glutton, I have a problem. 

But it's so very nice to be taking pictures and blogging again, I kind of forget what to do when I'm not in school, does that happen to you? Like I always take up hobbies over the break to keep me busy. This year it's baking, knitting, blogging, and playing league of legends. Yes, you heard me correctly. I'm not proud of it, per se, but it keeps me busy and it's addicting. 

PLEASE HELP ME. 

I hope your break/holiday season is going amazingly!!

Finals. Finals, guys. With Thanksgiving around the corner, I've been so stressed about finals and all that comes with it. I cannot wait for Christmas- relaxation, food, Christmas music, food, presents, the new year, and food. 

Did I mention the food? Can't forget that. Hope all is well with you, and that you're taking whatever stress you have waaay better than I am!

Collared top: Charlotte Russe

Leggings: H&M

Skull necklace: H&M

Happy Monday, my gorgeous popsicles! Also, happy Election Day's Eve! I'm kind of psyched about the season- fall drinks at Starbucks (you can say they're stupid and frivolous, but their sea salt only comes around so often), elections taking place, and the mid-semester mark with all of my classes. I've got the proper motivation, made a schedule and everything, and am going to be an efficient, ochem-passing MACHINE.

Also, can I take a second to tell you how much I love these leggings? I love them so much. Like, way more that I should. It tears me up inside knowing that I don't have a lot of tops to match, so I had to borrow my roomie's. But oh, you will see these babies again. I assure it.

sunday mornin rain is falling

Phew! Has it been a week since I posted? I'm trying to keep it updated as much as possible, and this week was filled with awesome food. Those are the best weeks. I celebrated a friend's birthday with a trip to Joe's Farm Grill and some gelato. Also, I made some homemade granola with a recipe from Katia's blog over at Kittysnooks and it turned out so well! I never made granola before, but it tasted fantastic! Thanks, Katia (: 

Outfit Details:

Dress: Self made

Belt: Goodwill

Purse: Savers

Flats: F21 

I made this dress over the weekend instead of doing homework, on a Saturday night. There were two things wrong with that sentence. I shouldn't do homework on a weekend, and also, it was Saturday night. Whatever happened to a college social life, huh? Not that I mind, I much preferred it! I improvised on the skirt, and I got the bodice pattern from the Selfish Seamstress for her Coffee Date Dress. It was a little tighter than I'd prefer for my size, but other than that it worked out pretty darn well! I've always loved brocades/upholstery fabrics for fall and winter. I feel like I'm a walking curtain though, which is just great.

Something tells me I'll be procrastinating on homework a lot more though...

we are the tide.

Outfit Details:

Totally rad cableknit sweater: H&M

Shoes: urbanog.com

Purse: Savers or Goodwill? I'm gonna say Savers.

Let me just start this by saying that it was nowhere near cold enough to wear previously mentioned rad sweater, which made me sad. And sweaty. I can't help it- I got way too excited about Fall that I forgot I lived in Arizona. Sweaters in 80-90 degree weather? Let's be real. Le sigh. 

But I'm totally in love with this sweater. The color and the size (I got one a size bigger) are just perfect, and I can totally feel like a hobo and look stylish AT THE SAME TIME. Those are my priorities in life.

fall break.

Outfit Details:

Coral top: Free People (Nordy Rack!)

Tank:F21

Skirt: Self-made

Belt: Charlotte Russe

Shoes: Nordy Rack

Oh, Fall Break. How I needed thee. How I yearned for ridiculous amounts of sleep and shopping. Even though it's technically just two days of break, I will take it. I've done more social things over the break than the start of the semester. Sad? Yes. Is it even sadder that I spent a lot of time making clothes instead of hanging out with friends? Also maybe yes. But I missed it so much. It's certainly handy if you don't have the money to buy something brand new or want a one of a kind item you can't find! I've also vowed to take more photos and post more, now that I've gotten a handle on my class schedules and whatnot. 

 And now for some naughty food pics:

Rolled tacos and carne asada fries? Yesh. Yesh ma'am. 

I also saw Looper last night where my future hubby JGL was covered in prosthetics and ridiculous eyebrows. It's okay- I'll still love him no matter what obstacle. Have any of you seen it, and did it resemble a Skrillex music video for you too? Let me know.
