snake bite.

dress: anthropologie ; boots: urban

I love the mix of vertical and horizontal stripes on this maxi. Pretty much adore these Deena and Ozzy boots as well. The snake and stripe together makes me happy.

day off tomorrow whoooooo! Happy Hump Day everyone ;)

ankle cuffs.

originally from Tuula Vintage but I found on A Pair & a Spare

what an awesome DIY idea. I am getting gold cuffs as we speak!
I can't decide between these two...

both from f21 and such steals at $6.80 and $4.80 maybeeee ill get both. ;)

I'll be sure to post pics when they arrive! If any of you give it a try let me know, I'd love to hear how they turn out!

sweater: h&m ; shorts and tights: urban ; boots: JC Lita via solestruck ; necklace: nasty gal ; bag: Rebecca Minkoff via gilt groupe

while my Sister and Brother-in-law were in town we went to our fav Turkish restaurant for dinner and this is what I wore. I loveee Turkish food and had the best stuffed eggplant ever! I like this place in particular so much because its a smaller family run place, you BYOB (bring your own booze, incase your not the sharpest tool in the shed ;) ) and have amazing food. On an un-food related note, I'm pretty obsessed with these tights. I've been looking for leopard printed tights and I love how these show skin through rather than being colored.

ps. I need a haircut. ;)

insta thanksgiving.

my Thanksgiving. consisting of, but not limited to:

1. 3 dogs (cousins)

2. my favorite cheese dip

3. turkey

4. begging

5. birds (Tito)

6. boyfriend

Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas dinner are my two favorite meals of all time. I have to say I could die happy after eating them, my Gram makes the best food ever.

top and shoes: urban ; pants and socks: f21 ; dove necklace: tiffanyandco

felt a little MJish with my socks and loafers on.

And yes I'm one of those Twilight Saga lovers and Breaking Dawn was awesome. It was my favorite of all the books and I love seeing how directors translate the books into film.

Here's wishing everyone a delicious and joyous Thanksgiving ;)

insta diary: disney world. :)

had so much fun at Disney's Hollywood Studios this past weekend. I haven't been to that park in years so it was good to go back, my Gramma desperately wanted to see the Christmas lights and it was the least I could do for a woman who has done any and everything for me my entire life. And honestly who doesn't want to take a trip to the happiest place on earth? It is amazing, these photos honestly do not do it justice. The entire back area of the park is covered in lights, all donated by the Osbourne family (no not Ozzy) and every 10 minutes the lights "dance" to the music playing, Christmas carols of course ;).

tank: forever21 ; shorts and boots: urban ; bag: Rebecca Minkoff via gilt groupe

i love this tank from forevs and it was only $5.80! The first thing I thought of when I saw it was "Ham" from the movie The Sandlot (hence the post title)

 the colors are spot on! haha gotta love it.

Have a lovely evening all! Orlando in less than 24 hrs!! Yippeee!! ;)

vest: bakers(old) ; shirt: anthropologie(old) ; jeans: zara ; boots: urban ; lipstick: MAC "vegas volt"

my favorite gold jeans.
it finally got a little colder around here so i was able to wear my vest without looking completely nuts. snapped some shots while Rex was outside running around with his bff Zack. They are so cute when they play together! This is the outfit from the Thursday photo diary, my sweet new boots that I wear literally every day now. I'll be going on another weekend trip to Orlando, taking Gram to see the Christmas lights at Disney World :) cant wait!

insta diary - my weekend.

Friday: my fav new boots and sweater.
Saturday: MAC lipstick "Rebel", leopard print boots, Rebecca Minkoff, and Santa!
Sunday: toaster strudel made by the bf, Rex the beggar, and charity bowling game for St. Jude Children's Hospital. :)

Happy Sunday!! I'm pretty obsessed with my new boots from the first set of pics. I never thought I could wear tall boots being that I have chicken legs but they work! I'll post a better pic of them this week ;). So proud of our bowling game for St. Jude, I know we'll raise a ton of money for that charity and it feels so good! How cute are the shirts?! Hope everyone had a fab weekend. Finally having a well deserved day off, spending it with the bf and Rexy on the couch...my kinda Sunday.

All those clever apps come in handy, love this "photo frame" one! my favorite pic has to be the one of Rex with the moustache, what's your fav? So happy tomorrows Friday, almost done with this never-ending/stressful week! I'll post full pics of today's outfit this weekend ;)
