Heal Me.

I'm not feeling quite as good as I did yesterday, but hopefully I'll make it through the week in good enough health. I did do a little shopping today, which I'm sure helped the healing process.

I bought my winter coat, it's a dark grey Calvin Klein peacoat that is really perfect. My last coat was fairly similar, but not CK and it was red. This one is awesome and I'm quite excited to wear it, especially since it is getting cold rapidly.

There was also an Ulta nearby, so I picked up a few things. I had never been inside an Ulta before, I've only ever ordered from the website. They had a great deal on OPI polishes (buy two get one free), so I got the matte Russian Navy, the suede You Don't Know Jacques, and the regular Royal Rajah Ruby. I'll let you know which I decide to wear for the week. I also got two NYX eyeshadow pencils, it was buy one get one half off. I got them in Yogurt and French Fries because those were two I remembered hearing good things about.

That was about all for my purchases, although I did get a cute little coin purse. I've been looking for the perfect one, and I've found it. I wanted something cute that would hold my permit (or license in a few months), money, and keys.

Time for dinner, enjoy the totally unrelated picture that is full of fringey goodness.

Don't Bet On It.

I'm feeling better already, but just in case I have plans to spend my night with the latest issue of Lucky magazine and a chick flick.

Tomorrow maybe I'll even get out of the house!

Under The Weather.

I've been feeling a little bit ill the past few days, and I'm really hoping it is just a fleeting thing that won't get any worse. We have 4 classes a day at my school that are each 90 minutes long (as opposed to 60 minutes at most schools), which means missing one day of school can really set you back.

I've been trying to nurse myself back to perfect health with a container of Triple Caramel Chunk ice-cream (so good) and I've spent the day (which we had off from school) catching myself up on the new season of Degrassi.

I have to admit though, my worries about being sick do surpass those related to my schoolwork. I really hope I won't have to nix my weekend plans, which involve coat shopping and seeing Whip It.

Hope your weekends are off to a good start! And if you, like me, are behind on your Degrassi, you can watch the new episodes on the Teen Nick website.

Toughen Up.

It has started to get pretty cold here, so I finally broke out my new leather jacket. I've had it for a few months now, but I've been saving it for the perfect occasion. Being the last day before a three day weekend (yippee), with the addition of the chilly weather, made it that perfect occasion I'd been waiting for. A few years ago I probably wouldn't have thought a leather jacket was for me, but today I feel totally different. There is something about pulling on a leather jacket that totally transforms me. I rushed to pull the jacket on before leaving the house this morning, and the rest of the day I felt like I was the perfect mix of tough and chic.

Do you have any accessories or pieces of clothing that can totally change your day?

Only What It Allows Me.

I bought my homecoming dress a little bit last minute (the night before) so options were a little slim, but I found this one at Nordstrom and it did the trick. I wouldn't call it my dream dress, but it's fun, young, and cute and it was perfect for the occasion. I guess it's a little hard to get the full effect with it on my closet door, but I was having a little trouble uploading the pictures we took after homecoming. (We ran a little late and didn't get to take many before the dance.)


Here is the clutch I carried. It was really shiny and perfect, it's only flaw was the size. I fit a few dollars, my school ID, permit, and ticket for the dance inside, but it's so flat that I couldn't squeeze a lip gloss in. I also had earrings and an adorable ring, but once again cameras/computers/emails/uploading/etc. are evil.

I wanted to show the accessories and my hair and makeup also, so if I work out the picture problems, I'll try to show the other pictures this week.

I did notice that my idea to do something involving french braids was not exactly original, they were everywhere I looked. Luckily, mine weren't exactly like everyone else's.

Today Is It.

Today is the homecoming dance, and right now I'm just lazing around, but pretty soon I'll be in full 'getting ready' mode. So, I'll leave you today with my latest polyvore creation! (It's been more than two weeks since I've made anything, it's hard to believe that a few weeks ago I was making multiple sets a day.)


Expect pictures of outfits and hair and makeup sometime soon!
