bits of my room // new buys

corner

my parents brought this neat little camera home for me last night, anthro catalog just came in, & my favorite tea: sleepytime vanilla

found that white/black/red vase at a thrift store for $4, and the tag on the bottom says it was hand-painted in a native american village. so pretty!

dead flowers and skulls everywhere....

ok so...this is the only drugstore foundation that i've been able to find that has a shade light enough for my skin. (slightly embarrassing)
i love it! it makes my skin look SO nice. and each is only $6. b a r g a i n.

found these while out thrifting and i looove them.

Heads up: Cyber Monday deals you should be taking advantage of!

If you're like me, you decided to skip out on the craziness of Black Friday shopping, and hold out until Cyber Monday.
I dragged my lifeless body out of bed at 5:30 am to try and get clothes in my size (small ALWAYS sells out first) and thus my CM was a success!

dallassssss

My sister convinced me to pick this up at Anthropologie because she uses it (and loves it) and I'm so glad I did! Not only does it work on your lips, but you can use it anywhere. Body/cuticles/face....it's all purpose. It is wonderful.

This was on sale at H&M for only $1 and smelled heavenly, so I thought I'd grab it. Now that I've used it, I'm kicking myself for not buying more. It's much too small :(

Found these sunglasses online and fell in love. But they look awful on me.

I wear this bracelet everywhere!

Although I live super close to Dallas, no one in my family really likes going because the traffic is so awful. They have the best mall, though (NorthPark) and it has all of the really nice stores that my local mall doesn't have (H&M, Urban Outfitters, American Apparel, Free People, Anthropologie, etc). My mom bought me some really nice leopard jeans while she was in DC at H&M, but they didn't fit so I needed to return them, and thankfully my sister agreed to drive me to Dallas (too scared to drive in that awful traffic). I was really sad when they didn't have my size left in the jeans, but I found some other nice things! The black and white pants above are what I got as a replacement, as well as a bodycon striped dress (which is basic and boring and didn't deserve a photo) and a delicious body butter. I also picked up a really neat newspaper by Design Sponge and Rosebud Salve from Anthropologie.
I have got to stop spending money, though. Really.

"coffee is never a bad idea"

Vanilla latte at Cafe Brazil (so good!)

DC today, New York tomorrow!

Georgetown Cupcakes (they have a show on TLC- DC Cupcakes; season 2 airs this Feb)....so cute/crowded/tiny/delicious!

Shirt&Snood from H&M. So many nice neutrals for fall in stores!

Got this really yummy goat milk bath soap from Anthropologie. It smells so good, I can't wait to use it!

Small shopping in DC...saving it all for NYC! We leave tomorrow morning early early to take a train and we're staying there for two nights, then back to DC for another night, and then home! More photos to come (the internet in the hotel lobby is awful)! xxxxx

too much walking for one pair of legs

Tried on (and purchased) the cutest sweater with a frocket (front-pocket for those of you who didn't know) and the back is button down! It's so comfortable, too! And the icing on the cake: on sale. I can't wait to wear it this fall!

I can't get enough of these boots! (For those of you who aren't super cheap like me and will actually pay good money for shoes/clothing, these are from The Gap).

La Madeleine's has the best caesar salad, mmm.

J. Crew has the best clothing, really.

Went out for breakfast at Corner Bakery and then out shopping with two of my beautiful cousins Hope and Lauren today. I felt like my legs were going to fall right off afterward, but we had such a nice time! And for the firs time ever, I actually found a pair of sunglasses that fit my face (this is so, so rare)!!I'll try and post photos of the things I actually bought soon sometime!
