January 2k15 Faves

Hey Ya'll!

Even though it's not the end of january, I wanted to post a blog about my faves before I get sucked into finessing the colors for my thesis. 

This month's favorites include but are not limited to:

Nars Sample Size Blush and Contour Pallet

Because i'm too poor for the full size one. 

Make Your Own Luck: A DIY Guide to Graphic Design and Illustration

Super great guide for those about to graduate and move into the freelance world. 

My Job at Purl Soho!

Symbolized by this ball of Purl yarn I picked up this morning.

Anthropologie Volcano Candle

Every girl ever has one of these. We huddle around them for warmth. 

Lavender Roses

From my smooch on Valentines. He's a keeper. 

Bitch Planet Comic

Absolutely in love with the three issues out of this series. 

Good Walking Boots

Because snow.

Warm Socks over Tights

Because snow. 

Super High Waisted Black Topshop Jeans

Loving these pants, and I'm not a lady who likes pants very easily. 

January Least Favorites

Buying watches that don't work by the time you get home (pictured above), Endless winter, and computers that crash while I'm trying to watch the bachelor. 

Hope you guys like this wrap up for the month and are keeping warm!

Life Update: Working for the Weekend

Hey ya'll!

Just wanted to provide a little life update and provide more information on what you'll find on this blog. 

I recently started working at Purl Soho, a yarn and fabric store in soho. You may know them from the Purl Bee, a blog that posts diy tutorials based on their products. I'm super excited to work here and hope it will up the production quality of my tutorials on this blog. Expect to see more knitting sewing and embroidery, along with updates on my thesis work. 

The first tutorial i'll be trying to get a better grasp on my knitting is this ribbed scarf from the bee for my boyfriend. I'll post updates on my process as I go!

Hope to have more interesting updates on this blog soon.

Style: Retro Rodeo Mom

 Hey ya'll! Long time no see. Sorry about that, I've been getting back in the brooklyn groove and several yucky snowstorms have gotten in my way of cute outfits. Normally I'm viscerally against wearing jeans but these high waisted puppies make me feel like the hottest mom in town.

 Also I've been experimenting with bumper bangs, which i'm becoming addicted to. If you want I can post a tutorial!

Outfit Specs:

Blouse- Modcloth

Necklace- Modcloth (sold out)

Jeans- Topshop

Glasses- Rayban

Currently working on getting a job, finishing thesis, and basically figuring out the entire rest of my life. It's stressful, it's scary, and it's exciting. 

Wish me some luck!
