Winter Cozies

Unfortunately, I am pretty weaksauce when it comes to the cold, so I've been really thankful that it's been warming up here in Cali. However, it still gets pretty chilly during the evenings, which I guess gives me a good excuse to slip on the winter wear. Nothing like a comfy sweater, boots, and a soft scarf to make you feel nice and cozy! Hope you all have a lovely day, and are keeping warm on these chilly nights!

Life has been feeling pretty mundane these past couple of weeks. I feel like I've been stuck in a rut, and it's been challenging to try to find my way out of it. Since I've been feeling really bored, I think I've also  been dressing accordingly. I really wanted to change things up, and to play around with colors and texture. I think my Wednesday brightened up a bit. Hopefully getting through the rest of the week will be a breeze, and the long weekend will bring some new adventures!

Here is a little somethin' somethin' that I just put together for work. Haha this was definitely a nice change from my usual polka dots and bows. I also really love how this dress has kind of a floating quality to it. I really hope that the hi-low and peplum trends stay current because I keep buying them!

I can't believe the year is almost ending though. It's crazy how 2012 has just flown by. This year has definitely been filled with many ups and downs, but it has also been such a learning experience for me. This year has taught me the value of humility, the necessity of responsibility and the importance of appreciating what I already have. Last New Years, a friend pointed out that people should make resolutions all year long and not just at the start of a new one. I thought that was such wise advice, and will also carry this out in 2013. Here is to getting healthier, finding a better job, spending more time with family and friends, and finally getting to meet one direction (this willll happen!). Hope all of you have a fun New Years celebration! Good luck with all of your resolutions and goals!

 Did everyone have a good Veteran's weekend? I had an amazing weekend! On Friday one of my most favorite people visited, and we went to a One Direction concert. We were so close, they actually looked normal-sized! On Saturday, I went to my childhood friend's wedding. Definitely crazy your friend since 4th grade take such a big step in life, but still so incredibly amazing. Coming back to work was seriously so hard today!=[

On a different note, a couple of days ago brought rain to Southern California.  I'm glad I was finally prepared for it. Usually, I'm the one that  is wearing flip-flops, or without a jacket and umbrella=/. A nice new trench coat makes a rainy day a bit less glum in my book. I really like it because it deviates from the classic trench. Also, it's fuzzy lining makes it feel super cozy:). Michael Kors, you definitely know what you're doing!
