Snow Gypsy

YoOoo everyone! 

I just got home from a nice getaway weekend in Utah. Although the fresh mountain air was lovely, my desert-rat self is happy to back in 80 degree Nevada weather.

As mentioned a few posts ago, i'm now working at Anthropologie, which is more like a source of an expense than an income for me as I've been making use of that employee discount quite a bit lately. This dress is one I bought with my discount at the Fashion Show Mall's Free People last friday. It is sooo lovely and butter-soft. Definitely a must-have dress for this spring/summer. 

The coat i'm wearing is a Roxy one that I bought at a thrift store in Reno last year. It is the perfect thickness and looks so good over everything. You can see me wearing it in the post Nature Walk. 

My mom bought me these fun Betsey Johnson over-the-knee socks a couple christmases ago and the boots are from Target.

Lost Cat

I hope this Gato finds its home!

So, it's been a little while and now here I am, diving into my second week of the new semester. I think Core Humanities is going to kill me; I hate trying to decipher all that ancient text.

My American Popular Music class, however, is going to be the beez kneez.

I'm all layered up in: 

Silver cardigan//H&M

Thermal//Thrifted Free People
Sequin Tube Top//a past "dress up" article from when I was a kid

White long sleeve//On sale from The Gap

Vintage denim-ish skirt//Given to me by my aunt

Shoes//Classiques Entier
Vintage Hat//a gift from Zac

Recap

Beggar

He's kind of a badass.

Breakfast with Grandma.

Black sweater: my grandma's closet

Greenish/teal shirt: Hand-me-down from my sista

Handmade necklace from the Gypsy Den.

Pippa in heaven

 Jasmine Green Tea

free people faux fur jacket, zara top, vintage guess shorts from a garage sale,

 & Marc by Marc Jacobs shoes from Nordstrom Rack

This photo montage pretty much sums up my week: lots of fluffy animals, indulging in delicious food at home (i.e.:Toblerone chocolate), beautiful weather, acoustic guitar listening, and, of course, driving my Bug!

Life is so easy when you've got no responsibilities. This wont last as long as I'd wish, however. I'm back to school in a couple weeks. *sigh* 

Christmas Loot

Some presents I received this Christmas (from top left):

tan sweater and matching scarf, super cozy brown sweater that ties at the front, boho necklace style, faux fur (extremely soft) Free People jacket, tan cashmere scarf,

Canon EOS (!!), OPI polish, Burt's Bees hand lotion, Burt's Bees chapstick,

two Betty Crocker's cook books, and two cupcake books (can't wait to bake), Born Crown boots I actually spotted a couple days before Christmas and decided that my excuse for buying them would be a Christmas present for myself. I've wanted a pair of this style boot for at least four years now and never could find one I liked (or one's I spotted at thrift stores that didn't fit me). Continuing on... a pair of chocolate brown thermal leggings and a cute, 50's style oven mitt.

Oh yes... but how could I forget? Our new puppy, "Pippa".

I hope you all enjoyed your holiday, ate some tasty foods, and spent some good time with family.

Up next... New Years!

Sun Feels Good

I love this wall! 

These photos are actually a day old; yesterday I was so busy trying to get all my stuff organized and ready for my flight home this for the weekend and that I didn't have time to post them. 

I took off this cozy, black circle scarf that I was wearing and, because of my scatterbrain yesterday,  forgot to but it back on when I went to take these photos. Oh well I guess you'll just have to use your imagination to imagine how the black scarf really topped off the outfit.
The thermal is from the Gap, jacket is from Free People, the belt is thrifted, vintage Guess shorts are from a garage sale, and the rocket dog shoes are from a garage sale as well. 

Anyways, I'm glad to be home for the weekend... my mom and I are going to hit up a few shops in Vegas and hopefully stop by the Gypsy Den!

moving up & out

Chinatown! 

I'm wearing a thrifted vintage dress, garage sale sweater, hand me down purse from my mom, and shoes from TJ Maxx.

P.S. I picked up an adorable silk robe and a pillow that looks like a piece of sushi here.

San Francisco

This is a photo of supposedly the most crooked street in the world, Lombard Street.

Here i'm wearing a shirt from a garage sale and a garage sale cardigan as well.

Jeepers was frolicking on the beach.

Northern California vineyards

I would love to introduce you to one of my favorite, most comfortable dress I own.

I picked up this Free People dress about four years ago at a Nordstrom's Rack and have gotten so much use out of it.

The purse is yet another hand-me-down from my momma.

This post is a photo diary of my week's adventures with my family in Northern California before they dropped me off at college.

Thanks for viewing!
