Laugh 'Cuz It's Good For You

Hey Y'all, 

I know the weathers been drowsy but thanksgiving just passed and christmas is right around the corner! 

Don't give up that holiday hope quite yet! :)

Some things to do to lighten up:

1) make a gingerbread house. then eat the whole thing

2) put up christmas lights. outside, inside. I string them around my bedroom

3) bake. food is always good 

4) clean, now is a great time to give away stuff you really just don't need

5) go do some community service! It'll make others happy as well as yourself 

6) get a joke book, I have five and i honestly love them

7) get an art project going, or some extravagant homemade gifts going (post to come soon)

8) be happy :) 

Sweater: H&M

Jeans: Levi

Boots: Urban Outfitters

Belt: J. Crew

Just an update on the boots: I actually did this shoot within the second day of getting these boots but have since returned them. I decided as a holiday gift to myself (as well my birthday) I bought a pair of Frye boots and will be doing a post on them soon :)

Skirts and Ladders

Lands End pea coat, grandmother knit sweater, Pacsun Outlet skirt, Dim tights, Converse, Dad's bandana, BHV necklace, H&M and handmade rings

I had never been to Freeport, Maine before a couple weeks ago. This wonderful skater skirt was found at the Pacsun Outlet for such a great price. Remember my obsession with them? Well, it hasn't gone away. Patience is everything, and it was worth a year of agony (I might be exaggerating just a bit) to stumble up this little masterpiece!

Il y a quelques semaines, je n'étais encore jamais allée à Freeport, Maine. J'ai trouvé cette jupe patineuse à Pacsun Outlet à un très bon prix. Vous vous souvenez de cette obsession? Elle n'a pas été remplacée par une autre. La patience est très importante, ça valait une année de douleur atroce (j'exagère un peu) pour enfin tomber sur cette pièce rare!

Look Before You Cross

Gifted scarf, H&M sweater & jeans, Vans, Pimkie vest

We somehow lost the pictures we took in Boston which would explain the lateness of these. It was so much fun. Miki & I had specific items we were looking for and we both found all of them. This reminds me of my Christmas wish list. I started it over the summer, first time I've ever begun so early. Among various gifts (extra polaroid film, Etsy jewelry etc) figures Alexa Chung's new book IT. I've been wanting to read it ever since it came out. Do you guys recommend it?!

Nous avons perdu les photos qu'on avait prises à Boston ce qui explique le retard. C'était très amusant. Miki et moi avions toutes les deux une liste précise de choses qu'on cherchait que nous avons fini par trouver. Ce qui m'amène à ma liste de cadeaux de Noël. Je l'ai commencée cet été, c'est la première fois que je l'ai écrite si tôt. Le premier article (à part des bijoux d'Etsy et des films pour mon appareil photo polaroid) est le livre d'Alexa Chung IT. Depuis qu'il est sorti je meurs d'envie de le lire. Est-ce que vous le conseillez?
