Don't Overthink It

What I'm wearing: Gap sweater and tee, H&M fur collar (previously worn here), J.Crew outlet toothpick jeans, Aldo boots, Vintage earrings and bracelet

I've had my fur collar for months now but had only worn it twice before this weekend. It's one of those pieces I tend to overthink; I'm never quite sure how to style it. Right now I'm working with a limited closet since I'm home for the holidays, which can make decision-making a little easier. Yesterday while getting ready for church, I threw this cableknit + fur combo together and thought "eh, why not?". I ended up loving it. Lesson of the day: Don't overthink it.

Glamazon

What I'm wearing: H&M faux fur collar and top, J.Crew Minnie pants, Steve Madden wedges via DSW, Forever 21 ring, Lips: Revlon Colorburst in Fire, Nails: Sally Hansen Complete Manicure in Gilty Pleasure (fingers) and OPI's Bogota Blackberry (toes)

There's nothing like a little bit of fur, sky-high heels, and a red lip to make you feel like the most glamorous girl in the world. Thursday night was my cousin's rehearsal dinner, and I decided to have some fun with it and wear something I don't get to wear very often. Lately I've been settling for the boring student uniform of jeans and sweats, so it was fun to step away from that for a night and embrace my inner glamazon. I'm new at the red lip, but I think I really like it. This particular gloss was recommended by Instyle magazine as flattering for fair-skinned girls like myself, and I would have to agree. I think I'm ready to try an actual lipstick next...any recommendations?

Happy (in instagrams)

I was in quite a mood earlier this week, but things are starting to look up. Here are all of the things making me happy right now:

From the top, left to right:
1. This campus is ridiculously gorgeous this time of year.
2. Starbucks has their holiday cups already! Which means the Christmas season is right around the corner!
3. I have plans to debut my new fur collar tomorrow.

5. I'm in the process of packing up to head home for the weekend for my cousin's wedding!
6. I finally updated my iPod in anticipation of getting back to the gym next week. My current favorite on repeat? Chris Brown and Justin Bieber's Next To You.
