Fur vest + polka dots

I'm alive!

In the last week I've made and shipped out hundreds of orders, studied and stayed up waaay too late for finals, took said finals, and drove all over the state visiting family and doing fun things this weekend (WE WATCHED THE HOBBIT! AND FOUND AN INCREDIBLE BELGIAN WAFFLES DIVE!). In that madness I totally forgot my camera memory card in my laptop so not many photos to share {insert sad face}.. {insert sad blog}.


Quick photo- and yes, my poor hubs takes my outfit photos for me and when he's not around I have to fend for myself (B is so nice to accommodate my blog needs and I secretly think he likes it because he gets a little too into it..) and I haven't been able to find my remote shutter for my SLR since we got back from Alaska so handy digital camera it is. Also B hates this fur vest with a passion so I'm pretty sure he wouldn't cooperate even if I bribed with snacks..



Just wanted to show you the current state of my dressing room. It's looked like that since we got back at the end of the summer. SUMMER. If you are good at I Spy, you can totally see two suitcases. Didn't I tell you it looks like my clothes are having a civil war?

  3. I love the fur vest & polka dot button up together! I cant believe you found the vest on e-bay, great find my dear! My hubby also takes me outfit photos, but he isn't really into it. HAHA. Makes it hard when I'm trying to tell him what I want a photo of and he just stats randomly snapping. :( which leads to my blurry state of photos on my blog.

    Happy Monday!

  4. I really like the fur vest... though I feel like my bf also thinks furry things like that are a bit "weird" hahahaha. Sounds like you've been super busy; hope you get some rest time soon!

  10. Yay I saw your feature on Rachel's blog! She asked me to post on there too so I think I'm next :) This is very fall and chic I love this outfit. That vest looks comfy and warm, and I am such a sucker for polkadots and colored pants! Great combos.

    p.s. I continue to wear your bracelets literally every single day and still get compliments on them constantly!! Everyone loves them and asks where they're from :)

  13. I love the fur and polka dot combo! I've been looking for a faux fur vest b/c the hubby doesn't like actual fur.

    Btw, you hair is gorgeous when curled.
