Hounds.


Hello Darlings! Happy Tuesday to you! Thanksgiving is only a week and one day away. How did it get here so quickly?! I have no idea. Anyway, Dan and I went out to grab a few photos at sunset before dinner. It was really breezy out. I am enjoying the cooler days. I finally get to wear long sleeve dresses. This houndstooth number is from Wholesale Dress. I was surprised that it actually fit. I was so worried it would be a let down but it fantastic. And it looks pretty chic. I do believe it will be my last purchase from them though. School life has been a bit busy. I have exams tomorrow and I am so frightened.  Keep your fingers crossed for me. I always get super nervous before the exam. I mean who doesn't? What projects/ deadlines are you working on these days? Do share and don't be shy! ;)

Orange You Clad

Hello Lovelies! Yesterday, Texas finally started feeling a bit more like the REAL November that I know and loved in New York City. COLD! A Nice, breezy, cold front rolled in during the late afternoon which caused me to reach for my peter pan collared baby doll swing coat! I love this coat with all my heart. I feel like a little fancy lady wearing it. Also, on Monday I received my brand spankin' new BonLook frames in the mail. I ordered La Marquise in Tortoise and I have a winner. I've never glasses ordered online and I was so surprised & pleased that my frames fit so well without an actual try on. Also I lucked out on one of their coupon deals and scored a pair of prescription frames for only $75 buckaroos. Free shipping! I am in love with them. My dearest approved them as well which is great since he had no idea what kind of frames I ordered. Anyway, I had a lovely Tuesday and am having a fantastic Wednesday. I have been gone a while so fill me in on what's shaking in your neck of the woods! Cheers to all!

***On a side note, I have been feeling quite a bit of Holiday cheer already. ;)

3 Ways to Rock Your Frock: Style Remix

Hello Readers! This week has been crazy busy! I have been job hunting(which ended successfully :]), completing illustrator projects (which I will share in another post next week), and getting organized.
Today, I am sharing with you my love for this Forever 21 dress and a Lauren Conrad find from Plato's closet. I start with the Forever 21 dress. It's a pretty simple outfit. Hat Sunnies, dress, tights and booties. An easy, comfy, girly outfit on the go.
Next, Throw on a printed cardigan. It's still fairly simple and fun but a little more funky. I chose this coldwater creek cardy I thrifted many moons ago and it is one of my absolute favorite items to wear this fall.

Last is look Number 3! Dress on Dress. I think it is pretty wise especially in the colder states to layer up. Texas is getting really cool outside, almost like east coast weather and I couldn't be happier! I paired my LC dress with My Forever 21 dress with a cardigan and belted it! I personally enjoy this look. Its a print mixing and matching dream! You can also layer this look with some chunky knit socks to fully complete a warm and fuzzy, yet chic look without going too crazy with color. Although, I think the more color THE BETTER!
HERE ARE ALL THE OUTFIT DETAILS ALONG WITH A PHOTO OF MY FAVORITE PHOTOGRAPHER AND I. HAPPY FRIDAY AND HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

A Spider Lurking in the Night...

Hello All! I have been a bit MIA because of school and other things that have been more imperative to my well being. I love blogging and sharing things with you all but my life has become a bit unorganized. So I took some time off to get back to work on assignments and personal affairs that have long needed my tender love and care. But I would like to share with you my growing love for illustration.

 I find that illustration with different mediums are quite the stress reliever for me. I have been working with pen, ink and watercolor. Although, these works were assignments, my professor did not specify what to draw how to draw it or what technique to use. Her words of choice were, "PLAY WITH IT!" And I feel that it truly challenges you to think outside of the box and try different techniques you've never tried. It also ties into my Adobe Illustrator class. Things I create on paper can and have inspired things I create for the web. I am really pleased and grateful that I chose to take these courses this semester because it is that special something that will define my work and set me aside from the rest of my competitors when I get into my field when I graduate. Here are a few of my works and what I've been up to. What inspires you?!





These are some of the gifts I received for my birthday from Dan and his parents. I fell in love with those cateye frames and cannot wait to wear them!
These gifts are from my bestest friend in the world Ashlee Elle! She crocheted the belt, bow and headband from scratch. She is so talented! You should check out her shop HERE! That romper is vintage and AMAZING! It was only $8. Can you believe that? She gifted me that on my birthday. Love her!


 And these are photos from birthday and birthday night with Ashlee and also with le boyfriend. Dan and I watched a crazy 60s japanese film with Sonny Chiba in a wicked role as an expert samurai swordsman. The Fall of Ako Castle is the name. Check it out if you have time.



And last but certainly not least, BARAGON! My bearded dragon friend! He is such a cutie pie and is so sweet to me. He has been really hamming it up lately with me. Maybe its the warm baths and change in his diet but his beard and mood have been less lethargic and more energetic. I love the little guy! <3 If you are still reading at this point I thank you for reading. Hope you had a lovely Tuesday!
