Winter Wish List

This is going to be a brief post. I'm taking a quick break from writing a paper and I thought I would just post some of the items on my Aritzia wish list. Velvet, burgundy and big sweaters are some of the things that have been my mind lately.

Coffee Shops and Stars

It's been awhile since I've done an outfit post. This is what I wore on a day spent studying and writing papers last week. I usually like to study or write in the comfort of my own home but lately I've found that I'm much more productive when I'm at a coffee shop. Maybe because when I'm at home all I want to do is look up decorating inspiration, or clean and organize my new place.

Lately Vol. 7

The last couple of weeks have been pretty busy and the result is that I've been absent from the blog. With moving, school, and work there hasn't been much free time, and when I do have free time it's spend on homework or cleaning. We've finally started to settle into our new place, and I'm excited for life to get back to normal. Although I've been busy I can't complain. I'm loving life right now. School is really fulfilling and I feel so happy when I'm learning. Other then school and work I was able to sneak out for a bit to the Hillberg & Berk grand opening with KD. Afterwards we grabbed some hot chocolate and donuts and chatted. I also attempted to dye a skirt and a pair of pants black. I'd never dyed any garments before, so I didn't know what to expect. Both items turning a deep purple instead of black, which I ended up really liking. I plan to eventually get around to doing a before and after outfit post. Anyway, below are a few photos from instagram of what I've been up to.

Shoe Obsessed

I'm going through a major shoe obsession at the moment, particularly with anything that has ankle straps or is an ankle boots. Here are a few examples. Not that any of these shoes are practical with the current weather we are having, but I can dream right? All I've been wearing lately are my Sorels, which I am in love with so I can't complain too much.

5. Aldo/Flare Colab oxblood day shootie
