Anyway, being in a relationship can't possibly hinge on physical intimacy. 'Cause that would mean our parents are still doing it.

Happy belated Valentine's day, hope everyone had a good one! My boyfriend attempted to be sweet and send flowers to me at work but they never showed up. It explained why a couple of my coworkers kept asking me where my flowers were (he had asked one of them what the address of my work was), to which I replied, he didn't send me any. But it was nice to find out later that he had technically tried to order me flowers and cooked me a delicious dinner, where I gorged myself silly.

I've managed to incorporate some color into my wardrobe! This is always an exciting thing for me! Colored pants are an easy way to incorporate color into a wardrobe for those who want to and don't know where to start. If you're on the more adventurous side, you can create a color block outfit, otherwise just throw on a neutral colored top over your colored pants and you're good to go.

It's not like I ask guys to buy me presents. I merely suggest.

A wide brimmed fedora that may fit my big head? What is this world coming to? I got this hat on super sale at Aritzia (which may be my new favorite store - though only when they have crazy good sales like the current winter one going on). I was so indecisive that I ended up buying it in brown AND charcoal (lack of self control.. I mean really.. if it looks pretty good, and it's on sale.. and it's the only hat that fits your big head....why not!??!?!)

By the way, Happy Valentine's day everyone! This is not a holiday I am used to celebrating but my boyfriend has decided to be a sweetheart and cook me dinner. The question from my coworkers has been "What is he cooking you?" I didn't realize this is something I should know ahead of time...

Sometimes your shallowness is so thorough, it's almost like depth.

I purchased this Zara coat towards the beginning of winter. It is more like a large sweater and I like how easy it is to throw on over my chunky sweaters. Even layered with other clothing, I can still move my arms, which always a plus. My favorite part of the coat is the fur detailing on the collar. It's great for when it gets cold, I just button up and my neck is warm and cozy.

Hmm... lot of flowers. And chocolates. Did you come down with a debilitating illness and forget to share the good news?

I know Christmas is long gone, but I recently got one of my presents from my boyfriend. He was mildly concerned that I carry my camera around in whatever bag I pack my clothes in when staying at his house. Though he had decided that I needed a camera case, he expressed the fact that he didn't trust himself to purchase me one on his own. He knew I'd want one that wasn't too boring (and at least slightly stylish) and he's not a deal shopper. We managed to agree on this simple, yet adorable Pendleton camera bag. I absolutely love it and adore how I have the option of using it as a regular bag.

Can you teach me how to twirl my hair and stare vacantly?

Happy Belated Groundhog's day! A holiday I otherwise would have forgotten had the radio not reminded me yesterday morning. Lo and behold, it's been predicted that spring is coming, which isn't too surprising. Goal for this spring is to utilize all the ankle boots I've collected over the fall/winter into outfits. I have a tendency to convert to sandals the second it gets warm because my toes feel weird covered.

This sweater was a random purchase online at Urban Outfitters because I wanted to get over $50 in my cart to get free shipping.. so I figured that the sweater probably wouldn't work out and I'd just return it to the store. However.. rather than keep the other item I had wanted, I ended up keeping the sweater and absolutely loving it. It's great for winter (and I don't have many proper clothes for winter), it's soft, and it's super comfortable/cozy. I adore the little flecks of color throughout the sweater that aren't overwhelming but give it an interesting look. You'll definitely be seeing it often on my blog. This sweater falls in the stylish and comfortable category of my wardrobe (like my Topshop jacket). Those items are far and few between so keep them when you find them!

I'm not like you! I don't just jump in the potato sack, with the first potato that I meet with diabetes!

January has officially ended. It's crazy to think that just 4 weeks ago.. we started the new year. This month has definitely zipped by. Today's temperatures are supposed to get up to 60 degrees! Mother nature, what are you doing?! Not that I don't appreciate the mild temperatures, so keep it up and I'll stop complaining..

These photos are from the beginning of January. I decided to show off my talents to my boyfriend's roommates one day.. that talent was making snowflakes out of spare magazines. Being that I stay there every weekend, it's my contribution to their house (I would be more prone to calling it a frat house - four boys, four smelly, dirty boys). I'm sure they would appreciate food much more. During the New Year's weekend, his roommates' friends came over and I was just walking into the house. One girl started telling me how well I decorated the house and couldn't stop raving about it. I had to stop and think about what other things I did besides these snowflakes.. which is nothing.. so I guess the snowflakes left a big impression on her.

My new favorite Zara jeans for going out. Love how versatile they are even though they are printed. They go great with any basic top.. throw on some ankle boots and I'm ready to go out. I've already worn them multiple times out and they've been a big hit among friends.. though my friends have a tendency to meow, growl, or rawr while commenting on the jeans.

At the count of ten, I will snap my fingers, and hopefully remember none of this.

I decided to sell the Sam Edelman Petty boots (pictured below). Anyone interested in purchasing them, they are a size 6.5 and are listed on ebay here.

I like the leopard pattern of the J.Crew slipper loafers more than the Sam Edelman's. I ultimately picked the loafers because being a short gir, the leopard print loafers don't overwhelm my small frame as much as the ankle boots do. I think the Sam Edelman's would work awesomely on a taller girl.. damn my short genes.
