End of Finals Countdown

I was totally feeling the Christmas spirit when I picked out this get-up the other day. How could you go wrong with red faux fur lined leggings, a cream sweater, olive scarf, fluffy pom pom beanie and boots with the fur...WITH THE FUR.

Although, as a college student it's difficult to really feel the Christmas spirit until after finals are over. You have one foot in Christmas and the other is drowning in finals. Feeling the holiday spirit is practically impossible when all you want to do is nap, then rip your hair out while studying!

One more week until I can actually relax, make holiday treats, and watch all the claymation movies my heart desires...one more week, my friends.

End of Finals Countdown: T-7 days.

End of Finals Celebration

Yesterday morning, my last final of the Fall semester was at 7 IN THE MORNING.

GAG.

When I woke up it was still dark outside.

I probably will never be a morning person, it's so heinous.

After I rocked my architecture final, I went back home and roused Ryan from his slumber to run some errands and scarf down some celebratory Kneaders french toast.

Yummmmm.

We were busy all day: gym, errands, gift shopping, family, etc.

Then Ryan asked me on a date :)

Let me first rewind before I continue on with last nights antics...

a few nights ago Ryan went up to Salt Lake with his friend to drop off his friend's sis-in-law at one of her finals, the boys had obviously hit up the mall because when they got back I saw a bag with my favorite logo on it....

Anthropologie.

"Christmas presents??"

"Yes...but I can't wait till then, can you please open it now so I know that you like it?"

I ripped it open and laying inside was this beautiful dress.

"When I saw it in the store I just knew my wife had to wear it, and I got some matching earrings so you can wear the whole outfit on a date."

Fast forward back to last night and here is the outfit!

It is soooo adorable, the perfect size, and I just love that he picked it out by himself.

Makes my heart melt!

We grabbed a smoothie, walked around the Riverwoods, and then saw Lincoln.

Wow, what an amazing movie.

Overall, it was a great day to end my Fall semester :)

Finals Week

For all you students out there, I totally feel your pain of horrendous finals week.BLEHHHHHH.I have a research paper due tomorrow night & 3 tests to take by Wednesday!I'm trying to not be a complete procrastinator and I'm going to knock out that dumb paper tonight.It's so hard to focus when all I want to do is go snowboarding, make my jewelry holder, drink hot chocolate, go to a Christmas party, wear tons of glitter and sequins, make gingerbread houses, go gift shopping, wrap presents, and make tasty treats to deliver to my friends!Welp, as soon as these tests are over & done with....Christmas overload here I come :)

The Final-e

Am I currently avoiding studying for my finals?

Umm yes.

I have four finals that I am determined to take by Tuesday. 

Last semester was a DISASTER when I took finals, I was late and stressed and blah blah blah, 

check out the story here, it's quite humorous if I do say so myself.

Now I've learned my lesson so I'm gonna be a good girl and take finals on the front end of finals week.

No procrastinating! 

This outfit is what I threw together when I saw that it was raining outside the other day.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Why is it raining?!

Anywho, I'm loving the bright colors trend, because that's pretty much all I have in my wardrobe!

So I got some minty polka dots and hot pink going on. 

Loves it.

 Hot Pink Sweater: Loft//Scarf, Cableknit sweater: Forever 21//Jeans: Fossil//Boots: Magic Step//Sunnies: Charlotte Russe//Necklace: gift//Purse: LA Fashion District//Earrings: made by me. 

Welp, I've gotta get cracking on some studying & cleaning.

If I have a guest post I need to write for you, I'll write them on my study breaks :)

Love you all lots, and see you on the other side!!
