marc jacobs, i love you

   I often find myself asking the question: am I buying this because I need it, or because it's cheap?
More than half of the time, I generally respond with the wrong answer. Because it's cheap.
But in the case of Marc Jacobs, buying because it's cheap is definitely the RIGHT answer.
   I was trying to pass some time in Target earlier until I had to go pick up my neighbor from soccer practice, so I was aimlessly wandering the aisles until I saw a giant 70% off sign hanging from the ceiling over the Junior's section. I headed over, and it was the Neiman Marcus for Target section that was 70% off. Um, WHAT?!
   This perfect gold leather pouch was regularly $70, and on sale for $50 off. Hi Marc Jacobs for $20, how are you doing? Better now that you're in my possesison? That's what I thought.

SO HAPPY with this awesome find. Outfit post with it to come later!

// school days

There are certain days that I am ready to give up on school completely, and then there are days like today, when I can cozy into my chair in front of the computer with a giant mug of tea and just enjoy being there.
I'm beyond ready for winter break, though, I'll tell ya that.
I'm also WAY over this 80-degree December weather. Not cuttin' it.



Hope everyone has a super-festive rest of your week! December is the best month of the year, enjoy each and every day! xoxo

just little things

Everything in this photo is under $10! I'm such a thrifty, frugal girl. Phone case- amazon, wedges- Target, fur vest- thrifted, DIY lace trim shorts- thrifted (then I added the trim!), sunglasses- Target, ring- thrifted.

detailzzzzzz

DIY lace trim shorts! I'm not entirely finished with them (have to sew up the edges- they look messy). Just use fabric glue and then sew them on!

DIY lace trim part 2- back side.

Was feeling healthy yesterday, as you can see (a rare occurance for me). I already ate all the blueberries...oops.

Salad w/ avocado! Yum yum yum.

Spent the morning out thrifting with my sister and found so many great things (those lavender shorts being one of them) and the rest you'll probably see soon! I'm such a sucker for buying sweaters in the summer because I miss autumn/winter so much....I bought like 5 and I almost regret it but not really because it's better to get them now when they're cheaper!
I also DIY'd some shorts when I got home because I had like 6 cups of coffee and was starting to go insane from a caffeine overdose and needed something to do.
I still need to touch them up a bit, but overall I'm happy with the outcome!
I'm also a huge salad nut (favorite food!) and have been trying to step outside of my caesar-salad-only routine and add new things, so yesterday I tried avocado! Tasted even better than I expected :')
We're also having an unexpected thunderstorm here right now (which is a huge blessing in Texas) so today has been a good day!

vacation via instagram: part 1

Sunrise over the lake

Sunset over the pond behind us

Visiting Circus World and posing with my favorite animal

I hope you know what photo is coming next....

Me and Libby!

Feeding the llamas and goats! 

McDonald's food= gross. McDonald's coffee= good & cheap

Finally! A denim jacket that fits well! Calvin Klein-$4, thrifted

Having such a blast on vacation so far! We'll still be here for a few more days, and I'll post a big photo diary with actual photos from my camera when we get back!
