new year's eve dress

(Free People dress, Dalia Collection vest, Me Too heels, Forever 21 necklace, and circle specks from Saver's.)

Happy almost New Year! Heading into Burlington today for some shopping then heading over to Lexii's at six for New Year's. Should be a pretty stellar day. Tomorrow, on New Year's Day I will beginning a new project, which I will explain when tomorrow comes, but until then enjoy the New Year's activities! This is the infamous Free People dress that I've been blogging about all vacation. I know its kind of hidden under the vest, but it will be shown a little more at a later date.

leftover Chinese food

These were taken a couple days ago, when I was one my clothing roll, but I didn't want to upload them in the same bulk as the clothing pictures so...Bit of an uneventful day; our plans to go into Burlington fell through so we stayed in, ate some leftover Chinese food, and watched a bunch of movies. Had a good time yesterday with the cousins. We took a trip to Saver's and surprisingly enough I bought nothing but a children's tricycle (which just happened to gave 4 wheels...not quite sure what to call it) for $1.99. We went out to dinner at a Chinese place near our house and ordered WAY to much food (hence the "leftover Chinese food.") Despite doing nothing today I have some BIG plans for tomorrow. Its freakin New Year's Eve! You have to have big plans on New Year's. A bunch of us are going to a party at Lexii's and staying for the night. Should be fun lots of awesome stuff like barbecue chicken pizza and Twister! WILL be posting early tomorrow about my party outfit which includes my new lace dress, heels, and a vest - excitment!

pilgrimage

(Free People lace slip, thrifted silky robe, Kelsi Dagger wedges, knit headband from Metropark, Forever 21 & Lucky Brand rings.)

Not sure what to call my paisely, silky robey-thingy...I got it Saver's and I was drawn to it for some reason and I don't even like paisely! I threw it on with the slip that I was wearing (which happened to be this one) and I liked the way they looked together. On top of that its from Saver's so if you frequently shop at Saver's like I do, you'll get it. We don't have a lot of thrift stores around here so I have to buy most of my things new, but Saver's is awesome because I find SICK stuff that I can't find anywhere else. The headband was on sale at Metropark a while ago and I never really thought to wear it around my forehead until yesterday when I looking for a thick band to wear.

Yesterday was a good day. BLACK SWAN was amazing! It gave me just the right dose of my favorite things - ballet, insanity, beautiful people, and RODARTE! Being a dancer, myself I now find it odd that I've never seen Swan Lake; this of course will change as soon as possible. I have a new-found respect for Natalie Portman. I'm so glad that I finally got to see it. After seeing a morning showing of Black Swan and got lunch at Panera with some friends and then we played a few rounds of mall hide-and-seek. I don't know if you've ever played this, but if you're ever done with peering in the windows of stores whose glorious contents are unaffordable on your budget try it out!

OH! BTW the black lace Free People dress came yesterday! LOVE!

lonely fur-trapper

(H&M plaid button-down, Zara T-shirt, Dalia Collection faux fur vest, boots from BC Footwear, bomber hat from Saver's, Owl & Black Stone rings from Forever 21.)

I woke up pretty late yesterday morning and...the world was white! We had a huge blizzard last night! I didn't get into photography until early last winter and during that time all I wanted to photograph were grassy scapes, not snowy white ones. But ironically enough when I finally got the chance to photography and springy landscape I wanted the snow! I'm trying to teach myself to live and moment and make the most of the backdrop given to me. Sooo...as soon as I saw the snow I ran to my closet and grabbed the warmest junk I could find and threw it on! I ended up looking like this, like lonely, modern-day fur-trapper. I think that's how I'm going to dress this winter.

Going to see Black Swan today now that its finally playing somewhere near me! Rodarte tutus and lesbian make out scenes here I come! Then I'm meeting up with some friends for a much-needed Saver's run. I'll be sure to come back to all of you with some second-hand goodies! Have a happy Tuesday!

bulletproof heart

(Calvin Klein cotton sweater, Marc by Marc Jacobs slip dress, Kelsi Dagger platform wedges, Free people cross-shoulder bag, Forever 21 & Lucky Brand rings.)

I got this Calvin Klein Sweater for Xmas the other day and decided that it was the perfect mixture of style and comfort. I got the dress a while ago and decided to throw it on. I practically begged my mom to get me the platforms and the bag was on sale at the Free People store in Burlington.

AND speaking of Free People my mom just informed me that she ordered me the lace dress that I've been wanting since I saw it in the Free People holiday lookbook! I can't wait for it to come! Also I have yet to go into Burlington to spend some Xmas dough and go shopping online for some shoes...
