Happy new years, everyone! Let’s hope 2009 will be a great year to remember! Will I miss 2008? Kind of. It’s been a year of tumultuous pros and cons, but what year isn’t?

I wore this today as a pre-new years celebratory outfit. I really just raided a Salvation Army and ran some errands today. I got this really nifty blazer from Urban Outfitters, and it was a leather-lookalike jacket so I just had to have it! (And for $20, I can’t really complain.) I feel like I’m due for a hairtrim soon, so I hope that comes around before I go back to school in San Diego. And stuck with this mane for another few weeks, ick.

Oh and those pumps are killer. Literally. They look terrific, but after 4-5 hours in those shoes my feet could hardly handle it. Curse you, wide feet!

Oh my! I haven’t posted in so long! Well the holidays has been a crazy rush of events and gatherings for me, among other things. I really hope that everyone out there has enjoyed this season with the ones they love and cherish the most! (Even if it doesn’t turn out to be as ideal as it may originally sound.)

Christmas for me was uneventful. But it was almost exactly how I would have preferred it to be. A nice relaxing night with my siblings (and my sister who flew in from New York!) making a gingerbread house and mulling by the Christmas tree.

This is actually the first time I’ve been able to wear this lace number out despite owning it over most of summer and having it over around my closet. Generally the sleeves are very detailed and sequined in typical vintage fashion, but because I thought they may have been a little too much for this look, I just folded them inwards and went out with a “sleeveless” lace dress.

I’m still deathly in love with it. The length is perfect, the condition is AMAZING, and I got it at Salvation Army for a keen under-$10 deal. What more could I want?

Bringing out a blazer I haven’t really touched in a couple of months. It’s been too hot, and today was actually no exception, but it was slightly cool enough for a blazer.

An old photo just to appease.

This was dated during my trip to Manhattan. At some point any other pair of shoes was utterly out of the question. (Yes, they hurt THAT much!) Of course, I made do with the only pair of boots my feet could handle.
