shadows.

i'm sorry for having been m.i.a. this past week. my life currently involves a heinous amount of math homework and it's actually quite depressing. i'm desperately counting down the days until thanksgiving because even an hour off would be praised at this point. it's also getting fairly difficult for me to take pictures. now that the days are shorter, i rarely get home before dark and wind up with these unnatural looking things that render me ghostly. short of beckoning the sun to stay, i haven't been able to find a solution. any tips?

what i wore: splendid sweater, agnes b. skirt, aldo boots.

to marissa.

i stole this coat from my good friend marissa back in september and she graciously let me keep it. it's become one of my favorite things to wear during fall and i definitely owe her one. clothes sharing is pretty much the number one way i revitalize my wardrobe when it starts to become a little dull, and i'm lucky enough to have friends with excellent senses of style who are open to letting me borrow (and sometimes keep) way more often than i should. but hey, as long as there are great clothes to go around, i'm positive sharing them is absolutely fine.

what i wore: gap jacket, band of gypsies top, zara jeans, urban outfitters boots.

brisk.

i am overjoyed at the fact that it is finally cold enough for me to pull out my winter coats. anyone who knows me is aware that i love the cold and winter months more than anything. i blame this on growing up in chicago and going through blizzards early on in my life. this coat is one of my favorites because it's thin but warm, perfect for november. it may be a little strange that i'm this excited about pulling my coats out from storage, but if the little things in life make you happy, i'm all good.

knit.

i spent my day with jen of elephant's hide watching grey's anatomy reruns and making these beauties from a pastry affair. besides being incredibly talented, she's also hilarious and her blog is definitely worth stopping by. otherwise, i've been listening to this in its entirety on repeat and tacking more pictures on my wall for the past half hour. tonight is the inaugural weekly family movie night my dad has decided to start, which should certainly prove to be interesting seeing as we still haven't picked a movie. hope you all have a great weekend and i loved hearing about all your halloween plans!

what i wore: gap sweater, urban outfitters dress and shoes, hue socks.
