this cardigan cape thing is by far one of may favorite things i own. i never wear it though because i feel like it is such a statement. but its so comfortable and i kind of feel like a superhero every time i wear it!

i needed a backpack. so i scoured the internet checked urban outfitters to see if they had anything cute. they did! so i went to the store and the power was out. so i could not buy said backpack. so i went to forever 21 and i tried to be good you guys, really - i was determined to walk out with something out of the ordinary for me. so i went into the dressing room with a pile of trousers and button up tops but none of them worked. so i walked out out with a boyfriend cardigan, jeans, and a scarf. so sue me. so i went back to urban the next day and bought (a different) backpack. so there.

i feel like i’ve been a little MIA around these parts lately, but trust me, i’m still here. these are things that were happening while i was away.

not much is sexier than a cute hipster boy with a bike. i cant wait for it to warm up a little so we can ride! 

it has been FUH-reezing at work lately. i’m all bundled up with leggings under my jeans, my pig puffy jacket and as many knits as i can pile on. it almost helps. 

trips to the comic book store generally prove to be good little photo ops. 

trying to keep this in mind while things are kind of crazy. 

omg a dog in a basket in the back of a mini car. i died. 

welcome to wisconsin, folks. it. is. cold. if you follow me on twitter, you know i flew home yesterday and it was basically a nightmare. but it is good to be home with my family, despite the frigid temps. this was my airport outfit - i always have grand plans of dressing up for travel, but leggings always seem to win. easy slip on and off shoes are essential for flying, and a scarf for keepin warm on the plane.

wouldn’t it be nice to be one of those girls who wakes up and just gets dressed? this outfit may look effortless, folks, (or not? i cant tell) but let me tell you, it was not. i am one of those girls who stands for hours in front of a packed to the gills closet in a bathrobe contemplating not leaving the house because i have nothing to wear. its a sickness i’ve been dealing with my whole life. in the end though, it usually does somehow pull itself together. 

i did, however, get told today that i gave A+ service. you bet your ass i do. doesn’t hurt to hear it though. 

oh! and see the summer version of this outfit here!

my new nutso holiday work schedule sometimes leaves me scrambling to find a photographer every (dress up) day, but i am LOVING the three o’clock light! it’s so friendly and flattering. 

this is another outfit pretty blatantly copied from someone else (this time from jessica of what i wore). although now that i look back at it, it isn’t as exact as i was thinking it would be, which is good. but that’s why we’re all doing this, right? to share and inspire? plus, she was the first personal style fashion blog i ever followed and my inspiration to actually start doing it myself.

i’m trying to break out of my bubble, but also keeping in mind that its okay to have a routine and know what works. finding the balance and realizing that nobody really gives a shit, when it comes down to it. not in a bad way - just in a do-your-own-thing-and-be-happy-with-it kinda way.

you know those days when you roll out of bed and its FUH-REEZING? and you’re like eff it, i don’t care - i just want to be WARM!? yesterday was one of those days, but somehow it turned out in my favor! the only trouble was staying awake at my desk since i was all wrapped up and cozy-like.

sometimes magical things happen when you leave the settings on your camera from the last time you were taking pictures. yesterday was actually super gloomy - hence the layers - but you would think there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. i love how blown out they are. plus the emo lean against the wall? jordan catalano would approve.

i wish i could have a version of this outfit to wear everyday. its the perfect combination for my life and fall in la: cute enough for a date night but work appropriate so i dont have to think about a new outfit the next day plus comfy and cozy for the chilly mornings but cool enough for the warm afternoons. moral of the story is i need to invest in some more sweater dresses.

i’ve already given you the scoop on fashions night out, so here’s what i wore! i have yet to meet a romper i don’t like in theory, but its much harder to find ones that actually work on me. i borrowed this one from nontra a few weeks ago for a night downtown and knew that it was exactly what i wanted to wear for FNO too.
