knit fix

over x-mas, my sister-in-law knitted my bro a beanie, and i gotta admit, i got pretty jelly. so i think i'll buy this one that parc is selling.  photo: parc

bloom where you're hatted

if a hat happens to have blooming flowers on top of it, chances are, i'm gonna want to find it (or one real similar to it) and buy it. photo: megan heinl

green day packers

sometimes there's not a thing wrong with going classic and traditional in your makeup --- like say, goin' green for the ho ho holiday, ok? photo: mpd

blue christmas

i'll definitely be having a super blue christmas and christmas eve if i don't try this super cobalt-y eye shadow -- and quickly.  photo: beauty is boring

much too much

like i was saying monday about wanting to put on a bit more makeup for festivities - sometimes it can be too much of a good thing. gif: the coveteur

glitter is better

perhaps just a little blue glitter around my eyes and on my face instead would be best and could look and be all festive, yes?? photo: vogue dot com

face the rainbow

new makeup i'm always thinking is what i should be doing when it comes to new years eve-ing. like i'll even stay up 'til midnight. right. photo: vsco

coats magotes

sometimes a fashion flibbertigibbet-ing and blogging girl just wants an iridescent silvery, puffy and billowy coat, you know?  photo: arts & science

a lace by lace basis

hearing the word "set" in fashion terms, i think of a sweatered twin + matching cardigan. but in this case, now i'll just think of lace.  photo: the locals

oxford university

when mama needs to dress up, she throws on a string of pearls. yup. and now i want to be just like her. but with earrings of pearl.  photo: little priest

royal flush

there is really nothing in this world that is prettier to me than a freshly pinched, flushed and rosy pink little cheek. no. seriously.  photo: abundance

shining time station

i'm not gonna lie, i'm not too skilled with the d-i-y. but if it makes me get shoes that can super sparkle like this -- maybe i'll do it. gif: designlovefest

all growed up

never really worried about aging. the wrinkles seem so gorg and engaging. so um, i wanna look just like her when i grow up. photo: the fashion elder

i'm a naturally dirty blonde, i think. but i wouldn't be minding if i were to go a super in-your-face non-mellow yellow, ok?!  photo: the beauty model

color me mine

don't know what my deal is this week about wanting to paint my eyes shockingly bright oranges and red-pinks, but i dig it, clearly. photo: ryan plett

the time of year has come where i want to (again) chop all of my growing-out hair off and (super short) crop it like it's hot. yup. photo: new hair now

bun and done

there are many, many days when i wake up and wish i had hair long enough to just twirl (it) around into a messy bun and be done.  photo: swandive

the long and short of it

so i am well on my way to growing out these exact kind of bangs and longer crop. should i continue to do so or just cut it all off?!? photo: just super

take a brow

about a gazillion years ago, i had my best friend tweeze + shape my brows pretty thin. but now i wanna marker them in. suuuuper thick. photo: radar

don't leave me high

as much as it pains me (and my poor li'l tummy) i will forever love me a jean waist that is super duper high/uncomfy, okay?  photo: imogene + willie

teddy to wear

maybe it was 'cause on my last shopping trip, my niece tried on a soft, furry teddy vest. because now i think all fuzzy toppers are best.  photo: polder

i just never, ever in a million years thought I could ever love the color orange (especially on a coat so stripey and warm) this much. photo: style kick

this cool chick's whole, complete, entire outfit makes me rethink my old rule of never, not ever wearing mustard yellow. um - hello! photo: hel looks

the green team

i have always wanted to be more eco-friendly and to join 'the green team.' do you think i could do it being checker-y? photo: mumbles and stumbles

true blue

i'm beginning to think everything looks better all sequiny. take this true blue sweater. sequins make it all the better.  photo: nick scaife photography

maybe it's my tribute to the infamous tat on johnny depp or maybe it's because i want to wear an all purple outfit. photo: everything you love to hate

hotline bling

i thought this post title was somehow oh so appropriate and fitting for this beyond pretty bejeweled mask aka this hotline bling. photo: fashion files

beyond beautiful freckles aside, i'm wanting to have way more than one earring reside in my ears again. whatcha think, friends?  photo: dark skinn'd
