Biker Chic(k)

Okayyyyyy I've been sooooooooo MIA totally been worked to the bone at work and tons of holiday events going on! I promise more pictures!!!



I sort of love this skirt, I just feel so annoyed with all my short skirts right now. I know I wear mini skirts all the time, and everyone knows I love them, I mean I have probably 100+ mini skirts but long skirts are just so refreshing and keep my legs warm when its cold brrrrrr. Don't you ever just go shopping and feel so sick that everything looks the same???


And since I'm wearing an Old Navy top, I just have to say how much I HATE those Old Navy tv commercials with the mannequins. I want to shoot the PR team when I see those commercials. Horrendous. Those commercials are so horrible I want to boycott Old Navy.

I'm wearing a leather jacket by BB Dakota, vintage skirt, black tube top from Old Navy, red bandana worn as a neck tie, and studded Promise shoes.

Thank you so much to my kind readers for stopping by!!!

Warm & Fuzzy

I love faux fur jackets, so fuzzy, need to start collecting!!! But they're so bulky that I rarely get around to wearing them. Fuzzy jacket, fuzzy picture!



These very awesome elbow length gloves are perfect for wearing with 3/4 length sleeve jackets. It's way too cold even all covered up to take pictures.



I was wearing the shades and thinking why am I wearing shades in the winter? Sunglasses are such a summer thing, I felt sort of like an oxymoron, like the uggs+mini skirt combo, like I'm wearing a faux fur jacket but I think it's too sunny!!! Really? There isn't enough sun that it's blinding. Anyways, real reason was I didn't feel like re-doing my makeup for these pictures when I got home.



The bag is actually a makeup bag that I decided would make a more awesome purse.



I'm wearing a dress from H&M, faux fur jacket from Forever 21, random flower lace leggings, faux leather gloves from Nordstrom, and makeup bag from Primark.

My very boring life...feel free to skip this paragraph...So L was in town last night, and we met up at Starbucks for a catch up sesh. Do you ever have these update-me-on-your-life chats and you just start talking really loudly just cuz you both are just so into it? Well anyways my friends and I always sort of take over the restaurant/cafe/respectable venue for our talks about life, etc and everyone starts glaring at us and we give the waiter a huge tip for being so nice about not kicking us out. Well last night was one of those. Anyways, you all have to try the Caramel Brulee Latte at Starbucks.

Christmas Party

What I wore to a little Christmas party with my girls. Anyways we took so many pictures for our "holiday card" and me being the hugeeee fan of color coordination made red and black attire the dress code for our Christmas shindig.

AlphaBetaChic, Patty Ann

The best present is me!!! Jk jk well this bow makes me feel like a Xmas present!

AlphaBetaChic, Patty Ann

Anyways check out our "holiday card" with our "family portrait"! Don't we look so festive in our coordinated red and black outfits in front of the tree? We were going to use a stuffed toy as our "pet dog" but no one had a cuddly stuffed dog.



I know some girls hate wearing the same colors/clothes as their friends (*cough* friend in yellow that I banished behind the tree *cough*), but I'm so obsessed with it. It's so much fun when everyone knows you guys are all together and color coordination makes for really nice two-toned pictures. Ok well this picture isn't a good example of what I was saying.



And I love tagging objects as people on facebook. This picture is perfect. We drew those little figures on our cups!

I'm wearing a top from Forever 21, skirt from Primark, belt from Calvin Klein, pumps by Calvin Klein, and waist sash used as an oversized bow.

A Walk in the Rain

Does anyone know how to make a gif? I really want to make a gif of these pictures. I sort of look like I'm walking down the path!



Anyways I was wearing this very short skirt and decided that it wasn't supposed to be a "leggy" outfit so I grabbed some knee high socks.



Andddd totally got these shoes from $2 from Charlotte Russe hahahaha all these summer sandals are on mega sale.



Yes, I'm wearing socks and sandals and I love it. Why do people bash it so? I feel like it probably gets a bad name because ppl try to wear sheer socks/stockings with sandals but pretend that they're not actually wearing stockings and you can still totally see their feet. When you're wearing socks, you should mean it...like look like you're wearing socks.

I mean wearing these huge wedges keeps you out of the puddles anyways and its way to cold to be barefoot.


[[UPDATE 7:54pm]] OMGGGG Michelle of Glisters and Blisters made me a GIF yayyyyy go check out her blog!!! Thankssss <3



I'm wearing jacket by City via Neiman Marcus, a slip worn as a top, random skirt, stockings/knee highs from Nine West, wedges from Charlotte Russe, belt from Primark, and necklace from Primark.

P.S. Brown belts are a closet staple! I need to replace this one, it's crumbling!
P.S.S. Sorry I haven't visited your blogs, so busy! I'm getting my first apartment!!! I will shower you lovelies with comments today/this week!!!
