Crazy Beautiful!!

Well I finally got my jacket in the mail and now I can't stop wearing it! Lucky for me its been freezing lately so i've had plenty of opportunities to wear it. I've also added a few other things to my wardrobe that I'm currently obsessing over.



I thought the wording would come out but it didn't so I'll explain. The first two are my new black booties that I got. I love them!! The middle pic is of course my new black faux leather jacket that I now wear everywhere. And the last two are pics of a shirt that I made a couple of days ago. The front says "Rock the Vote" and the back says "There's only one November!" I'm crazy about it!! I wanted to make a shirt that shows that I care about the upcoming election (is anyone else having a really hard time deciding on who to vote for?)

Anyway, here are some of my outfits this week. Alot of them used either the booties or the jacket. (I told you I'm crazy about them :)
This one didn't use either of the pieces but I liked it because the necklace I'm wearing was made my grandmother who died two years ago. It's really cute even though you can't see it in the picture. I really don't think I like this pic because it makes me look stocky. Like a football player lol.
I found this sweater at this store called Bealls for like 5 dollars and I love it because it looks like a sweater a grandfather would wear! It's probably my favorite sweater that I own. To counter out the old personish feel of the sweater I decided to pair it with heels and give it more of a girly feel instead. (If you look closely you can see my puppy behind me in the first pic. haha he loves the camera!)

This one I'm wearing the booties with a polka dot shirt and pink clutch. I actually found that clutch at a thrift store for really cheap! And it's great cuz its huge so I can fit everything in it!

This is my leather jacket. Isn't it the cutest?! It looks great with everything too. Whether its skinnies or dresses or wide leg jeans.

I wore this to church when I woke up and it was really cold out. Oh and guess what?! I got this dress at Charlotte Russe for 99 cents!! I practically skipped to the register I was so happy. Its kind of hard to see in the pic but its actually a black and gray checkered dress. And of course I paired it with my black booties.

I'll be back with more things to blog about soon but I better write this paper that I've been procrastinating on.

Waiting on the world to change...

Okay well it may not be the world I'm waiting on but have you ever just been sick and tired and waiting? I know I have! So I've compiled a list of the top 10 things I hate waiting for.
I HATE...
10. Waiting for...my magazine subscriptions to come in the mail. I get them a couple of weeks early but I still find myself thinking after I just received one in the mail and finished it all within the hour "I wonder when the next one will be here?" Does anyone else think that as well? That is one reason why I hate waiting.

9. Waiting to... get a test back. You know when you think you do really good on a test but you're not sure if the tescher will agree so your hoping and praying that you'll get the test back soon so you can check. Or the other way around you take a test and think you did horrific bad but there's that chance prayer that you may not have failed so your waiting to see what your grades going to be. Yeah, I hate that. I just want to know!

8. Waiting to...go on vacation. I love any chance I can to get out of town and go on vacay. So whenever my family tells me we are going on vacation I start planning what we're going to do down to the outfits I will wear when we do it (who am I kidding my outfits are the first thing I think about). But then I hear that we're not leaving for another two weeks. Why do that to me? I always tell them to tell me two a day before we leave, just because I don't like waiting.

7. Waiting for...Fashion Week in New York. The best thing to happen since sliced bread skinnies came back into style and I have to wait for it to come every year. Why? I mean I know that designers need time to prepare their clothes but the waiting is torture!

6. Waiting at...restaurants. Not the waiters and waitresses because I have yet to have truly sucky service. But I mean waiting for people to show up at restaurants. I went out to eat the other night for a friends birthday and we waited probably 30 minutes for one of his friends to show up before we ordered. I nearly chewed my hand off I was so hungry!
5. Waiting for...next weeks shows to come on. I am obsessed with Gossip Girl and all the other CW shows (to see what shows I tune in to click here) but when they show next week's shows I already want to see them, and then I have to wait forever a whole week to see them!

4. Waiting for...payday. In the words of Rachel Zoe, I only work to support my shopping habit so waiting to get that paycheck so that I can buy some more clothes is awful!

3. Waiting for...the weekend. I sometimes like school but there is nothing like the weekend. Having nothing to do is the best feeling in the world, but waiting all week 5 days to get there just sometimes doesn't seem worth it.

2. Waiting for...movies to come out. You just saw the preview for the best movie but its not coming out for another year. I hate that! My bestie and I are waiting for HSM3 to come out so we can go see it(yes I know that's lame but I love Zanessa) and the waiting is torture.

1. And lastly waiting for...online clothes. I just ordered a jacket online and I have to wait 3-5 business days. It sucks!

So what do you think? Do you hate these things too? I guess all of these things really have a happy ending so I should just wait and be thankful huh?
