Wanting: Flowy Skirts

Hello all, I hope you had a good Christmas and have some exciting New Years Eve plans! My Christmas was okay, I woke up sick Christmas morning though, and I've had a cold ever since and can't seem to get rid of it. I feel like Im always saying Im sick, probably because I do seem to get sick every couple of months, its ridiculous! I have no immune system. It has been cold but its not like im running outside in shorts, trust me Im a bundled/layered person!

I guess its not practical that Im loving the sheer/flowy skirts right now, but lately I've been really drawn to them.

Song of style blogger, I love the way she wears this!

Free People, I know this skirt or dress isnt long and flowy.. but I just really liked it with the sweater, its kinda short and flowy-ish?

Normally I dont pay too much attention to Free People, but today I was looking around their site and liked a lot of what I saw, I guess what kept me away for so long is the prices.

I also bought a new ring, im thinking of it as a belated bday present for myself, I will definitely have to take pics within the next couple of days, man I cant believe 2010 is almost over..

Look-a-like Alert!

Looks like our friends at the Gap were inspired by our friends of Proenza Schouler, pretty close wouldnt you say? Except Im liking the Gap price a lot more =)

1. The Gap, CA$198

2. Proenza Schouler, $1595

a little bit of anything

School is finally done! I can breathe in fresh freedom to read magazines guilt free and sleep in! Or anything else that doesnt involve some kind of gross formula or graph =) It will definitely be nice to have a couple of weeks off even though I will most likely be working for a good chunk of the time. But still, its very nice not to have to feel guilty about procrastinating assisnments. Only thing now is I cant believe how close Christmas is, I feel like I've spent so much time thinking about other things I really haven't gotten a chance to get into the full spirit.

I saw these photos the other day on studded hearts and thought this is definitely the spirit I want for my break, random, fun, maybe a crazy pillow fight with feathers?

Pyrrha Jewelry!

I wanted to share this really awesome jewelry line with you if you've never heard of it. I find it really different than a lot of stuff out there right now and Im always drawn to unique lines of jewelry. This is really starting to become my obsession, for so long it was just rings and now its definitely expanded! Jewelers anonymous please help me before Im broke!

Anyways its a handmade line that really stands apart with their unique wax seal design, they have other stuff too but the seals are definitely my favorite, and there is soo many meanings and symbols it would be so hard to decide. Im possibly thinking early Christmas present to self, but I also said that about so many different things already!
Oh and I saw on their website that they use recycled silver and gold which I always think is a really awesome concept, being green and getting to recycle and re-love some old silver thats possibly been around for a very long time.
Plus wouldnt these be great gifts!?

Heres a couple of my faves:

^Something different for a special someone.

^Reads "Mon Ami," for your BFF!

^Carpe Diem, latin for "seize the day"

A little inspirational, symbol for optimism, reads "still have hope"

Check out their website for soo many others!

Decemburrr

Hey guys, as you may have noticed I've been a little MIA lately, I didnt plan to be but you know how school and tests and everything get piled on. I really dont know how time has been going by so quickly! Its already December and Im wishing for my classes to finally be done, but then I know its going to be Christmas before you know it. I need a slow motion moment or something to get all caught up! This time of year always feels like crunch time. My mom and I finished all the Christmas decorations this weekend, now I just need to start on the shopping!

So anyways regular posting is back on the agenda, I've been having stuff I wanted to post but just never got the chance too! How are you guys doing with everything? Started any shopping yet?
