vintage coach

I've never been a huge Coach person, but I couldn't help but purchase this gorgeous vintage 1974 leather cross body. It's a beautiful creme color and it goes with nearly everything. I'm a big-bag person through and through, but this timeless bag is perfect for small outings and I can't wait to wear it out more!
I've also been living in loose, airy dresses on my days off because the heat is unbearable. When I'm at work all day I get to wear sweaters and cardigans because it's always so cool....but when I'm out on days like this when it's over 100 degrees, the best (and only) option for me is a dress. I really love the print of this one!

striped saturday

After having to deal with losing an hour of sleep from daylight savings + coming back to school after spring break, I am exhausted. This has felt like the longest week ever.  We finished our second to last issue of the school newspaper, prom is getting stressful, I'm rushing to finish scholarship applications, and it just feels like everything is all happening at once! I thought second semester of senior year was supposed to be easy....whoever said that is a liar.
I'm really and truly sorry for slacking a bit on blogging. I'm trying to pick up the pace a bit :')

For everyone who's just starting Spring Break, enjoy! And for those of you still trying to recover from SB like me, get some rest this weekend!!

I'm back from a nice few days in Oklahoma! It was a nice little break from reality, but unfortunately, school starts up again tomorrow. Spring break was nice while it lasted!
The place we stayed at was really neat- we had our own little cabin/ranch house which backed up to a huge field of cows and watering holes (where the cows drank from and we fished from) and there was a nice little hot tub out back on the deck for the evenings. The sunsets were beautiful, and there were two sweet kittens who sat on the back porch waiting patiently for us to come out and visit with them all day! It was so quiet and peaceful up there, I'll miss it!

How was everyone else's Spring Break? Anything exciting? :')

winter wants #1

The temperature here in Texas is dropping down to 50 tomorrow, which isn't cold, but it's a lot chillier than the high 80's/low 90's we've been having the past few weeks, which got me to thinking about cooler weather clothes...
Autumn is here and winter is calling my name! I'm so excited to go winter clothes shopping.

nifty thrifty

Found these two faux fur vests at the thrift store today and fell in love! I've been on the hunt for a reasonably priced faux fur vest for ages and I stumbled upon two in one day! The first one is more of what I was looking for, and just as I was about to leave, I walked through the little girl's section to get to the checkout and saw the white one! I was so thrilled so I ran to the dressing room (2nd photo, as you can see) and was so happy to find that they both fit! I guarantee you will see a lot of these two vests in my posts this autumn/winter!!

A few more things I found whilst thrifting, but these were from yesterday. Two pretty (and big!) mugs, a cozy sweater, and two beautiful leather wallets! I replaced my old wallet with the pretty one on the left, and the other will probably be up for sale on my etsy soon!
