Happy Thanksgiving weekend! This weekend has been filled with homework (sad), food and family. Simple comfy outfit because the weather is getting grayer day by day. Hope you've all had a good weekend and are ready for the leftovers and the work week ahead.

"You're not just a pretty face" an #ootd

One thing that I've heard a lot over the past year is the phrase "So, you're not just a pretty face!". There are two ways of taking this and I obviously take it as a compliment seeing as how i'm an optimist. I think it's really easy with compliments like this, to be put of because someone may see you as being not as intelligent for a certain position....but that's all the more reason to show them that you're more then what they know. 

 Take a look at the old tale about the Scorpion and the frog. It's just humans' nature to make assumptions. 

You should probably be somewhere where you want to work hard, work successfully and gain confidence and I think that this saying or phrase (or anything that's said like this) is just a way of showing your smarts and having them recognized.

Not sure if that even made sense.

Late post. 

It's great to be working in the showroom again.

A penny (or nickle) for your thoughts?

Where are you going an #ootd

Wilfred Wool Hat, H&M Maxi Dress, XXI boots

I did a little shopping on the weekend because my amazing 2.5 year old Forever 21 booties had completely fallen apart. They were a suede-ish material and were basically the only shoes I used to wear. After coming to the realization that they were completely battered I went to Forever 21 and found these babies. (Post coming soon) Faux leather and heavenly.

This dress is lovely and long and there are 2 slits *oww owwww* ;) its so comfy and effortless and the hat is literally just decoration. I couldn't wear it the whole day because it was so HOT and my head was dying. But it added the extra shade of cool.

What do you think about maxis? Yay or nay?

Last weekend was an interesting one, but any excuse I get to dress fancy I'll take!

My family visited my Aunt and the view where she lives is amazing. Though the town is tiny and I much rather prefer the city life, is was a calming(ish) trip. I loved my outfit, I seriously felt like a princess, it's probably one of the funnest parts about having a diverse culture, playing dress up.

The mountains looked beautiful & I attempted to take a picture of my fabulous nails but it turned out slightly too dark

"Oh my legit god"

I say a lot of random things. This was my outfit yesterday. All black everything.

Spontaneous hang sesh with ANG a.k.a. www.behance.net/angelaest, was much needed yesterday. She literally lightened up my mood and she always knows the right things to do and say to make me laugh.
