My Favorite Color to Wear






Okay, so this was the outfit I was planning on wearing yesterday when it snowed. This is probably one of my favorite outfits. Ohhhh. I love it. Coral is the best color ever. At least to wear. I think it complements my black hair well and it's just such a pretty color. Anyways, the skirt looks pinkish, but it's coral, promise!

I've been curling my hair a ton lately and I love it! I guess it's because I've finally figured out how to do it well and fast with the straightener. It seriously takes like 10 minutes to curl my super straight hair. Amazing. I don't even have a super nice straightener! I like how my hair looks in these pictures too. It's so pretty and it makes me look pretty I think.

Anyways, Sydney from the The Daybook does Awkward and Awesome Thursday, and even though she's not doing it today, I wanted to! I haven't before but I thought of so many great things for it I just have to do it. Ha I'm such a nerd. (Oh and these events are from yesterday and today, as the day isn't over yet, and I wore this outfit yesterday.)

Awkward:
-Having to run to campus two days in a row because I'm late for work. Running in a backpack feels and looks, i'm sure, SO weird.
-Overfilling the steamer at work yesterday, so then I had to take off all the parts and pour out some of the water, which had changed into some yellow gross looking liquid. Ew.
-Making chocolate chip pancakes and having half of them fall apart and look gross (read here)
-Wearing tights with this outfit and then deciding, no, it looked bad and leaving my room (that I share) a huge mess because I was late to work
-My sewing TA helping me measure my inseam....I was wearing a skirt. :P
-Falling down earlier in the week which caused a huge bruise to show up on my thigh and made me walk weird

Awesome
-Katri's post on the ruffled sweater she made. It's so cute and she's SO talented! I might attempt to make one since I'm learning how to sew and I have a sewing machine!
-Chocolate chip pancakes. Delish.
-The bruise on my thigh. I'm really weird and have a thing with thinking bruises are awesome. They're ridiculously cool. Seriously, though.
-Finding out that I get to go with the hip hop club to watch the So You Think You Can Dance auditions in SLC next Thursday and be on NATIONAL TELEVISION! Yeah baby!
-Eversave's deal for Shabby Apple clothing. You pay $24 and then you get $55 credit to Shabby Apple! That my friends, is a deal, and I'm buying it. I love Shabby Apple, and I love Eversave.com for all the great deals they give! I will share next time they have something else good, which is like everyday haha. They also have those cute foldable flats that you can take on the go for half off. $9! Check it out here.
-BYU's amazing win against San Diego State yesterday. We only beat the #4 team (we were #9) and Jimmer Fredette (kind of the nation's top scorer, nbd) scored 43 points in the game and also brought us up to the #1 spot in the conference. That's right. BYU is cool.
-No classes tomorrow. Yay. :)
-My giveaway. You have until tomorrow (Friday) at midnight to enter. So do it! Have a nice awkward and awesome Thursday. :D

There's No Place Like Home








I'm home this weekend! I haven't been home since my birthday which was 5 weeks ago so it feels like forever. I'm so lucky to have home only an hour away from where I go to school. I don't know how people who live out of state do it. Seriously, I'm so grateful! And another good reason for me coming home is the fact...I get to take my car back! I love my parents for buying another car so I could take one back with me to college. I'll have to post pictures with it soon...go to this post to see some pictures of it. It'll be nice to have a car because I feel like I've had no one to go grocery shopping with and also it means I can come home a lot easier which will be nice. Oh and also more options for outfit taking places than just on campus! This could get fun...:)

I liked this outfit because I kind of felt like a hippie type girl wearing it. The flowers, the fringe, the flare...it all adds up to one thing. :) I got this vest for my birthday but I just haven't had a chance to wear it yet. But I have  to say that I loooooove it. It's so super cute and way fun. You'll see plenty more of it in future posts, don't worry. Oh and I know I keep wearing this flower headband but I think it's just that I made it or something that makes me want to keep wearing it. I do think it looks cute too haha :)

Oh and I think I like doubled my wardrobe this week :) My friend Jenna who I mentioned earlier this week left for home and she had way too many clothes so she left a bunch for me to go through and just take the rest of what I didn't like to DI. So my bed in my apartment has a huge pile of clothes on it right now. I don't have enough room in my closet as it is to fit my current clothes so I'm going to have to figure out some better organization and rotation..any ideas? I also went shopping today and bought 3 pairs of jeggings (jeans+leggings) that are super comfortable and as my friend Amy described "like wearing sweats to school." And the best part? They were only $5 each! That's right, Charlotte Russe has a promotion going on right now that all their sale stuff is $5!! So if I were you, I'd head over there right now before it ends...they have cute stuff!

I also bought a billion fabrics today for making flowers and I think I made like 10 flowers. I'll post pictures of them and do another tutorial soon, promise. I would like to do a giveaway for one or two of them but I need more followers and pageviews so it's a little more exciting than a competition between just like a few people. So please follow and like it on facebook...once I get to 30 followers and 100 facebook fans I'll do an amazing giveaway! You won't be disappointed.... :) Thanks! (Sorry for the long post haha)
