Fashion Friday- Recent Celeb Looks

So glad it's Friday!

Got a busy weekend ahead of me, but I couldn't

wait to share these 5 recent looks with everyone...

I usually don't really like what Angelina wears, but here I think she hit it out of the park.

It's something different for her and switching it up is always a good thing.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!

OOTD- Anthropologie Banded Lace Skirt

I love this anthro skirt I scored on super markdown. It's really pretty and the details are beautiful.

2. My greatest weakness is caffeine! I try to keep the addiction in check and I don't really drink THAT much, but I realize how I absolutely feel AWFUL when I don't have it. I think there's something wrong with me, I'm getting sick, etc and then it hits me- " I haven't had any caffeine today." It's a problem, but it does so much for my mood, productivity, and general overall well being.

3. People always compliment me on my smile. Just today at work I was told I had a pretty smile. It made my day!

4. If you found me procrastinating you'd probably find me watching TV, surfing the net, or taking a nap.

5. The most cozy place in all the world is next to a fire on a cold night.

6. Something new that I tried recently was raw sushi with caviar- it was actually good! I usually stick to the cooked stuff but was feeling adventurous.

7. This weekend I would like to get some sleep! I stayed up WAY too late last night and I have a feeling it's going to take me a few days to recover.

Recent Snapshots

A few small things going on in my life recently...

Adding to the owl obsession...

Pinterest inspired wall art done with a ton of help from my S-I-L
(ok, ok, she practically made the whole thing!)
The background is cut up book pages.

Loving this little pic I found in a Warhol book:

(Beauty is shoe, shoe beauty)

The print on a new sweater- my two favorite colors!

Another sweater from Urban Outfitters, I absolutely LOVE the cupcake on it, but the fit was off. Going back to the store, but I had to take a pic first

I scored this awesome mug on clearance @ Starbucks for half price.
I LOVE vespas!

I am also IN LOVE with LINK! Any other Zelda gamers out there?

The new edition is pretty cool- I'm working on my own game, by my little bro had it beat in matter of days. That's why I call him The Wizard.
(If you haven't ever seen this movie- DO IT! It's a classic in my family.)

~Skyward Sword~

Chocolate cupcakes with cream filling and chocolate whipped cream topping.
These were amazing!!! (courtesy of my S-I-L, of course. She's the cupcake wizard!!)

Floral Dress is Back

(See the way I wore this dress last here.)

This dress is so easy to slip on, it's becoming one of my go-to's for all seasons.

Last time the 3/4 sleeves were enough to keep me warm- this time I added a cardi, tights, and some ankle boots.

Gotta love such a low cost per wear when this dress was less than $20!

Happy Tuesday, everyone- hope you're having a great week!

Knit Socks!!

Look what my sister in law made me!

How sweet are these?

She always hand makes the best things, and these are seriously cool!

100% Diamond Ring

Check this out:

This is seriously cool- the ring below is made entirely out of ONE diamond...

It's 150 carats(!) that took a year to
carve out with LASERS(!!) and is expected to sell for
70 MILLION dollars(!!!)

Wowza!

I'm impressed-

I wonder how it feels to slip that baby on your finger...

*sigh*

a girl can dream, can't she?

OOTD- Anthropologie Flared & Cabled Sweater Dress

This Flared & Cabled Sweater Dress is one of those pieces that is so comfy and easy to wear, I wish I had it in every color of the rainbow.

Or at least the three colors it came in.

It took me a while to decide which one to get, since I really liked the choices and they each seemed unique in their own way.

I definitely gravitated toward the mustard, but in the end the cream won out, and I love the color IRL.
Perfect for this pseudo winter we had and will carry me straight into spring.

Pretty little dresses all in a row

Today is Friday,
the day we fill blanks.

1. My favorite color is yellow!

3. Other people always tell me I look good in the color (red...I think a lot of really dark-haired brunettes probably get that too)- I DO GET THAT A LOT- GO FIGURE!

4. The color I detest is brown. I wear it every once in a while- but it's not a fave of mine.

5. If you were to look in my closet most of the colors you'd see would be bright patterns. I love swirls of color and most of my skirts are printed.

6. A color that I simply cannot pull off no matter how hard I try is cream- I love it and keep buying things in that color, but I don't know if it's the most flattering on me (see above OOTD- I keep trying!)

7. The color of my favorite dress is bright blue with bright pink at the bottom. But that's just one of my favorites- I have a lot!
