A Taste of Spring .. Almost..

Hello again, I hope all of you survived Monday and Tuesday!  My week has been all turned around as I drove a few hours to visit my friend for a long weekend.  I was so glad the weather was incredibly warm, it felt like spring was on the way.  Here is one of my looks I wore over the warm-ish weekend. This coat is my all time favorite and my go-to for dressing up in a pinch, I scored it at Marshall's for 1/4 of the original price, it fits like a dream, has an over-sized collar for those cold days, and cute, yet chic, bow details on the pockets and back. How do you all feel about the short hair?!

Hat - From Modcloth several years ago ($15)
Coat - STS Blue (Marshall's!! - $35)
Purse - Vintage (Thrifted - $4)
Dress - Forever 21 ( $13)
Tights -Vera Wang ($9)
Shoes - Croft & Barrow ($35)
Necklace - Vintage, gift
Ring - Vintage, gift
Thanks to my Dear Friend for taking the pictures!

Back in Action!

SO I know I suddenly left, didn't even write a good bye note, but I have had so many last minute and major changes since I wrote last in August. Where do I start, well a list shall do :

1) Haircut: Cut off 16+ inches and donated it! I've never had short hair before, very strange indeed, but LOVING it!

Not sure what I'm looking at, but it's the only decent picture I have atm...

2) School: After three years and one away from graduating (I know, I know.) I left the university I was attending for a major in education, to take an opportunity to go to photography school.

3) Work: SO, now I am working full time to save up for living costs and new equipment.

4) DIY: Yes, I finished the nightstand, I will post better pictures of it as soon as I can find my hard drive... D:

Can you tell I love dinosaurs? :)

5) DIY 2: Since most of my friends are far away now, I will have to find things to do, so I have a bit of an interest in perusing some DIY projects I have come across recently. (Mason Jar cakes anyone?!)

6) Stuff: Picked up some lovely outfits and accessories which I can not wait to share with you all!

Annnnd that just about covers everything, phew. My life has been a crazy whirlwind lately and it's on going to become crazier! So bare with me and I promise, and if I have to go away for a bit, I'll leave a note. :)

Nightstand Update!

I've been working so much the last week, so I've yet to spend a whole day on my project or up together some new outfits. But just wanted to let you know that it is sanded and ready to be primed! I decided on Valspar's "Fresh Mist" color.

  I also have several things planned for future posts that I am super excited about, like showing off my delightfully tacky mug collection!
