Pale is the New Tan

During my two week stay in Massachusetts, I must have dropped at least ten shades of whatever skin color I am. I even wore red lipstick basically everyday just to keep myself from blending into the snow completely, ha!

I have two liquid foundations I like to use (one for the warmer months & one for the colder months), and I accidentally put on the wrong one the other night making my face look like an actual orange compared to the rest of my pale self. No one said anything about it, so either it was too dark to notice or people were just being polite. I'll pretend it was the first one.

Donuts

{ f21 sweatshirt, coat, jeans, & hat; thrifted gingham shirt; DSW boots }

A few months ago I blogged about how I was really into clothing/accessories with donuts on them, and then I received this awesome sweatshirt for my birthday! Ahhh I love it so much! I also love all the weird looks I get when I wear it in public. And of course, wearing this gave me a craving for an actual donut! The carbs and sugar were totally worth it for these pics.

I've had these boots for years, but I never realized just how destroyed they were until looking through these photos. I kept hanging on to them because they were so comfy, and I used to always get compliments on them. Alas, I finally decided it was time to say goodbye to them for good. Hopefully someone at Goodwill can find a use for them (or they might have just gone in the trash... depending on what my mom decided to do with them, haha).

This post was brought to you by Dunkin Donuts. Okay, no it wasn't. I just really enjoy their donuts.

Chill Out

It's funny how these photos look so easygoing and carefree when in reality, I'm just trying to look presentable and not freeze to death at the same time. We were right next to this giant frozen river which made the wind chill even more unbearable! Like my face literally hurt, you guys. I'm only laughing in these pics because I was on the brink of going insane from the cold, ha!

Seriously, every other frame looked exactly like this:

That is the face of pure agony.

Menswear

Can we just talk about how in love I am with this scarf? I found it in the men's section at Forever 21 and immediately knew I had to have it. It's HUGE which is absolutely perfect for this weather! "But it's made for men!" Um, no, it's made for me (and any other boy/girl who enjoys a cozy scarf).

I don't know who spoke on behalf of all women that we only enjoy small, lightweight scarves that won't keep us warm, but they've got it all wrong! Guess my only option now is to make the switch over to men's clothing for good. Who's with me?

Winter Wonderland

{ f21 coat & plaid; Old Navy sweater; Target pants, vest, & gloves; Cotton On scarf; GoJane boots }

I'm normally just a "5 or 6 photos per post" kinda blogger, but I couldn't help myself with this one. It snowed so much these past couple of days, and everything just looked so gorgeous outside! I'm trying to take advantage of these snowy backgrounds before I head back to Texas (where it's usually hard to tell exactly what season we're in).

Unfortunately, I wasn't allowed to stay out in the snow wearing this for much longer otherwise I might have froze to death, which would have been a sucky way to end a vacation. So awhile later I put on some borrowed clothing made especially for snow that I have never had a need for in my life and finally went outside to play! And by "play" I mean I made one snow angel and then ran back inside for some hot chocolate. What a day!

Let It Snow

{ f21 plaid shirt & jeans; Old Navy sweater; Target vest, scarf & bag; ModCloth shoes }

Can you believe it?? Actual snow!! I know this means nothing to most of y'all, but this Texas girl was freaking out earlier. "What is this magical white stuff falling from the sky?" I mean, the most snow I've ever seen in my life (not counting when I was an infant) happened a couple years ago in Austin, but it melted within hours. This Massachusetts snow is here to stay, and I love it!!

The cold weather still takes some getting used to. My faux-fur vest has definitely come in handy up here, along with plenty of chai lattes from Starbucks, of course. I can pair it with almost anything! I'm glad I put it at the top of my Christmas list this last year. Most people ask for a new iPad, I ask for a faux-fur vest (thanks mom!).

All is Merry and Bright

So this is what I wore for Christmas! I wanted something that screamed "HOLLY JOLLY", and I think I nailed it with gold and plaid. I love this color combo for the holidays! I was reluctant to take outfit pics indoors, but I really wanted some photos with my parents' Christmas tree. And also, it was way too hot/sunny to be outside, but that's Texas for ya. "White Christmas"? What's that? :P

So This is Christmas

{ Agaci sweater; Target vest & bag; F21 jeans; Payless boots; Icing necklace }

So this morning I woke up with my left eye burning/swollen (it's pretty much blind now) along with a huge pimple on each cheek, but on the bright side, IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE!! Therefore, nothing will bring me down today! I love the day before Christmas because it's the day when my extended family comes over to hang out and open gifts! I'm excited to eat, drink, and (you guessed it) be merry!

Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays! Tomorrow while you're opening gifts, I'll be on a plane along with the other crazy people who decided to fly on Christmas morning, haha! I can't wait to be in Boston again!! Merry Christmas! :o)
