Umm, woah.

Where in the heck did October go? Seems like I closed my eyes and here's November already! I won't apologize for the break, not because I don't care about my readers but because it's just par for the course at the moment. It's weird moving from being a daily blogger to a when-I-get-a-second blogger, and I hope you will all bear with me! I've definitely had moments of just calling it all quits, but something stops me. For now, I'll have to be okay with being a bit sporadic, which kind of sucks for my readers. But I'm not giving up just yet! :)

It's getting a little chilly (finally) here in Dallas, so I've been able to bust out some cozy pieces. My fave so far has been my BB Dakota Branson sweater jacket, (on sale at Shopbop now). I totally recommend-- it's crazy soft and warm and is perfect a substitute for a coat. At least when temps are above 35 degrees! (


And my most recent purchase/birthday gift? New sunglasses (since my Diors tragically broke whilst getting shoved into my school bag. Ooops.) :

Chanel's 5185 Sunglasses!

I love these babies-- not too big, not too small, and the color is just right for my skin tone/hair. The shape is bordering on the cat-eye shape, but it's much less pronounced.  Purrrrfect. :)

What I'm lusting after: Madewell's Last Dance dress. This dress is lit.ter.ra.ly. perfect in person. The picture does not do it justice!

And my smartest purchase? Has to be the AG Stilt denim in 2Y wash... (shown below in the Orlin wash)


For any gals out there like me (ahem, lacking curves), AG is a great fit. Only second to Hudson and the cute triangle pockets, in my opinion.

Have you bought anything splurgey or savvy lately??

Lucky Little Girl

Lovies, my life is good.

Why?

1. I'm getting married tomorrow.
2. My family is hilarious and fun.
3. My mother broke down and bought me birthday presents yesterday (eeeepp!!)

Here's what I got!

Drumroll please........ dddddrrrrrrrr........ The F21 Winter White jacket!! Yay!
As a note, if anyone else is interested, this jacket is (thankfully) more ivory than white in person, which makes it a bit more winter appropriate. In addition, I actually bought a Medium. Although a small would have fit, there was no small in the store, so the Medium was it. And it's pretty nice, so I think this jacket might run slightly small.

I also got this cute dress for going out/parties:


Forever 21 Sateen Lace Party Dress
Very cute on. Short, but cute. With some patterned tights, this will be a cute little number.

I also got some adorable stuff from Anthropologie. I am in love with almost everything this season, but there are a few things I just knew I had to have. Thank God there are loving mothers out there. And birthdays. :) Here's the loot:


Short and Sweet Jacket by Tabitha


Escapement Cardigan by Bailey 22


Two-Birds Romper by Sine
The first two items were full-price, and with my %15 off for birthday, it felt a little less extravagant. I can't wait to rock 'em. The last item is the perfect romper for summer-to-winter. This baby is gorgeous in person and will be amazing with some tights and a chunky sweater. In the summer, all that's needed is a statement necklace, pumps, and voila! Perfecto. (sister loved it so much, she bought the same one!)

Now, I'm off to continue my wedding festivities. I probably won't be blogging for the next week, so I will resume my regularly scheduled blogging in about 1 week! Wish me luck! No twisted ankles down the aisle! :)
