dressed in knit

guess who is as happy as a clam? ... this girl right here! you ever have those moments where everything just falls right into place? ahh such a good feeling. i hope everyone had a great holiday season with family and friends, i know i did. and i can't wait to share some of my fabulous christmas gifts on the blog! if you follow me on instagram you've probably seen a few. 

this outfit was so much fun to wear, i mean only the weather in southern california allows you to wear a dress in the middle of winter. haha i got this dress from free people and i'm so in love it's the most comfy thing ever and was good at hiding all the christmas treats i ate (;

congrats to Erin Guy, the winner of my darling scarf giveaway with Subtle Luxury!

wow, i've missed this place. i can sit here and whine about how difficult school is but you know what, why whine...! okay, so who in california is obsessed with the cold weather? it's finally cold enough to bundle up in the most obscenely chunky sweaters and obnoxious knit scarves, hehe right? i'm sure that's what all the men are thinking. but that's my favorite thing about the chilly air.
recently, i have been on an american eagle binge. i never used to shop there because so much of their stuff was logo-y and preppy but i feel like they have shifted their brand around...and well i'm in love.
the jeans in this outfit are from american eagle and well i can't get enough of them, they stretch, they're warm and not to mention they are the perfect length (finally!)

well in other news, i hope all of you love bugs are well and enjoying the christmas music, chilly air, oversized sweaters and holiday drinks!

delicately daring

so...how was everyone's weekend? good i hope. mine was packed with fun, friends and food! i went to a rascal flatts concert, watched some football, did some shopping and ate. but back to the books it is for me. gosh this week is gonna be a busy one. i'll probably be spending the week in comfy shorts, plain tees and booties.
on the note of clothes...i wore this outfit to school last week. it was perfect because since i planned on being at school from morning to night, i needed something that was comfortable, kept me cool outside and warm inside (since the classrooms are like 50 degrees lol!) so cotton shorts, oversized tops and booties were ideal..and how cute is that print on my shorts! total love.

an urban edge

hey ladies and gents, hope all is well. just wanted to quickly share an outfit post with you!

this look is one of my absolute favorites for a hot school day...its comfy, edgy and cool (in both ways :D hehe). and let me tell you, this style of shorts is by far one of my favorites...they are technically called dolphin shorts because of the scalloped hemline...to put it simply they look a lot like running shorts! is it bad that it almost feels like i'm wearing pjs when i have them on? 

anyways, i hope everyone has the greatest weekend ever!
