girl, interrupted

Belated birthday presents from me to me. A haute pink fashion coloring book and interrupted hoops from Anthropologie. I’m editing down my vast jewelry collection that have been accumulating over the past years and keeping only my favorites. I must be getting older because I prefer classic, minimal pieces these days as opposed to gaudy and bohemian. These hoops are just lovely and you can never go wrong with a great pair of gold hoops to complete an outfit.

I heart…

New beaded necklace that I’ve been wearing too much of lately. And a bursting geode necklace for Cynthia, who collects rocks. I miss my little babies. I’m getting a head start on my Christmas shopping so that I can relax and go on vacation when December arrives.

A few things…

My sister has moved out, so I’m taking full advantage of the mannequin she left behind since mine is all wrapped up with belts and scarves. I’m going to start substituting at high schools soon (and finally! I’m such a procrastinator) so outfits have been on my mind. Ive never been a fan of collared shirts, but I’m beginning to like the classic look lately, especially after I spruce it up with a few pieces. Jewelry is key and classic blazer is very crucial. How to mix school-appropriate clothing with my eclectic sense of style will be a challenge for the next months.

Excited for a jammed-packed month! Crawfish next week with the Phamily and maybe a camping trip in the near future? Just got my new Canon macro lens in the mail. It’s a cheap ol’ plastic thing, but I think I love it! Can’t wait to use it!

My favorite go to pair of Seychelles at the moment. (don’t be afraid of my paasty legs)

A clean, classic plaid with a gold necktie chain. That’s more like it.

New splurges for myself. I decided to go on a jewelry shopping spree this past month. I haven’t bought so much since I used to work at a jewelry store, but I couldn’t resist a few rings that I’ve been eying for a awhile including these lovely rings and a pair of art deco earrings and some more owl necklaces to add to my collection. Also, I’m loving the new collection from Zara, especially this red dress which I wore to the wedding reception. Chic and simple. I’m really holding back the urge to get another one in a nude color.
