"I can make any kind of a balloon animal, as long as it’s a worm or a snake."

Cold days need shearling coats for warm coziness with fashion.  I feel like I'm in Game of Thrones when I wear this coat!   I got it a couple of years ago, but it's served me well for winter.  This outfit coincidentally has the same base as my last outfit, Madwell t-shirt and Citizens of Humanity jeans.

Didn't get a chance to get many photos outside, so I had my boyfriend snap a couple while we were at the hardware store.  I spent my time stalking aisles that didn't have people and taking quick pictures with my phone.  My new Samsung Galaxy S3 takes some pretty good pictures, which makes it easy when I don't want to drag my large SLR camera around.

I'll be leaving for South Carolina on Wednesday so I'll be MIA for the next couple of days.  I get to attend a wedding of my boyfriend's cousins.  Can't wait for my mini vacation, see you guys when I get back!

How did you become friends? Was it an accident? Did you hit him with your car and you became his reluctant caretaker?

Being away for the holidays always means more work when you finally come back to reality. January is turning out to be a relatively busy month starting with New Year's Eve. NYE was a fun night of debauchery with friends, drinks, and music. Food at 3 am is always a good way to end a night of partying. I'm booked with volleyball tournaments, birthdays (including my boyfriend's), and my first official wedding.

 This past year or so, I seem to be surrounded by people getting engaged and married. I begged my boyfriend last year to get my invited to one wedding so I could experience one and now he's gotten me invited to three out of state weddings. I urged him to get more engaged friends in the state so we can stop bleeding money.

I've been throwing blazers over everything lately, especially casual t-shirts.  I love wearing t-shirts by themselves, but adding a blazer is perfect for the cooler weather.  It also adds a bit of classiness to an otherwise casual outfit.  I can even get away with wearing a t-shirt to work if I layer a blazer over it which makes for a more comfortable yet appropriate outfit.

The jeans were a find on Ebay, I've been obsessed with the Citizens of Humanity Avedon jeans because the ankles of these jeans are skinny enough for my skinny ankles (a problem I have mentioned before).  I was just stalking Ebay for some more Avedon's and came across the Citizens of Humanity Avedon  in Beowulf, which is what I'm wearing in these photos.  I thought they would be an awesome addition to my fall and winter wardrobe.  The pattern helps add a little bit of interest to any outfit I wear them with.
