oh,saturday!

dress, f21; leggings,Romeo & Juliet Couture


riding boots, Vera Wang

belt, vintage

With how cold it has been lately in Reno, I've had to forgo wearing most of my dresses for any attempt to stay warm! But this patterned wool dress seemed to be perfect for the weather conditions when I paired it with a turtleneck and leggings. These Vera Wang Riding boots were a natural choice for it with the bow details on the back...a super girly touch, which is why I put on my MAC lipstick in Amorous too. LOVE wearing lipstick now! It is such an instant glam factor to any outfit. I added this thin vintage belt for emphasis and length and then resisted my tendency to layering on the jewelry, by keeping it simple. I honestly felt like I was back in elementary school with this outfit, although then I hated wearing jumpers with turtlenecks that my mom bought me...I couldn't be happier to rock them now!

Spent Saturday morning sharing veggie omelets and lattes with Lindsay at 5th Street Bakehouse. It is the only coffee cafe/ bakery that serves Rice milk as an option for lattes in Reno. You think it would be offered at more places with its gaining popularity! However, I was excited none the less for this find! After breakfast, I spent most of the day in the library studying my life away...only three more months until I am done! But oh can't seem to come soon enough!


love&peace

v-day

over-sized tee shirt,Urban Outfitters

peep toe wedge boots, Deena and Ozzy



rhinestone earrings, Urban Outfitters


skinny grey jeans, Silence & Noise; bag, Big Buddha

It has now become a tradition of mine that on Valentines Day, regardless if I have a Valentine or not, I indulge in a mini shopping spree for myself...this time I was happy to click away on Urban Outfitters. I found these amazingly comfort peep toe wedge boots by Deena and Ozzy for such a great deal that I was determined to make them fit (I hate buying shoes online because of sizing issues) and to my delight they fit perfectly, so much to where they feel like they are apart of me! I snagged this over-sized geometric tee shirt and these grey super skinnies with zipper details too. Again, this jeans are like a second skin and are the perfect length, hitting just below my ankles! A rare thing that happens for me with jeans! Just loved my luck with this order (I feel like I always have to send something back when I order online!!!) My Aunt Michelle got me on the brand Big Buddha for handbags. I have been looking for an over-sized black bag that can be my default bag for awhile now. When I was out shopping with a friend the other day,I was pleasantly surprised to find a Big Buddha bad on sale. There was no shopper's guilt after this purchase and have been wearing it with everything this past week. Love the option for a cross-the-body strap and side zippers for keys and my cell phone!


Reno is definitely known for the rapid changes in weather and this last week proved it! It was sunny, blue skies, no need for anything other than a light cardie to stay warm only days ago...and now?... it's been snowing for almost two days straight!!! So much to the fact that the University closed ( yes closed!) last night and this morning due to the snow! Too bad work never has snow days! Well I do enjoy the white flakes falling and wearing my new Sorel boots, but I could forgo the driving! There are already crazy people on the roads and adding snow doesn't help! Anyways, I am ready to dig up some more warm weather finds and post them soon!

peace&love
