fringe

Huge thanks to my sister for forcing me to buy these leggings. I'm really not a huge leggings person. I'd

 much rather wear a pair of pants or trousers or even a pair of lounge pants, but these are the exception. 

Love the fringe on the sides and their velvety material. 

Doubled up the laziness with this huge Gap sweater, In my opinion you can never have enough gigantic

 oversized sweaters.

It was warm enough this weekend to go a day without tights or thigh highs. It was a nice break from 

keeping my legs covered up. It was hard to find a pair of shoes to go with this dress. So black combat boots

 seemed to do it. I actually like this combination, it turned out to be a good outfit. I like the elbow pads on

 this dress, I always wonder how they were invented because they serve absolutely no purpose to me at all.

 But I do like the style, very Ralph Lauren/Need Supply.

Such a beautiful sunset in El Paso. The pictures didn't come out great, you can't really see much but I
thought the sunset was too amazing to not show you. You can't see, but theres huge mountains to the right.
 Now we're getting ready to go to a new years party at a friend of ours, from the back yard we can see
Juarez, Mexico and New Mexico and Arizona. So cool. Hope everyone is doing something awesome for
 new years, happy 2012!

I can't believe Thanksgiving is already over, this year is going way too fast. It was nice to be around my

 family and friends over this long weekend, and even nicer that it's gotten up to over 60 degrees these 

past few days. I found this vintage dress at a vintage shop in my town, and it just seemed appropriate to 

wear for Thanksgiving due to its elastic waist line. And the color I suppose.

Having a grunge moment. I never really do like to wear tight clothes, I prefer over sized. I'm not that into

 jeans,  I think it's mostly because I despise shopping for them. So it's been maxi dresses and skirts, shorts

 and tights, parachute pants, and trousers while trying to cope with this freezing weather. It's scary to

 think that it's only going to get colder from here, I'm not prepared for winter. I need to find some more

 good trousers and possibly a pair of loose fitting jeans. 

#2 ESSENTIAL 

Nail Polish

I have quite the obsession with nail polish, I don't really have any favorites but I like darks, pastels, and corals the most. Nail polish can finish off any  look and makes you feel and look more put together. The above nail polishes are from American Apparel. My favorite/most recent nail polish purchase from AA is: Rose Blow

Favorites by OPI

Above is the Katy Perry nail polish by OPI. My favorite is the crackel one (farthest one to the right.) First you paint your nails a solid color then use Crackel for a top coat and it looks like broken glass! So cool.

Mad as a Hatter.

This is from the Alice in Wonderland Collection. It's a mixture of all different color sparkles, which makes it very difficult to remove, but worth it because it looks so great on. It was my favorite until it dried out. :(

Favorites by Essie: 

This is their Fall Collection. My favorite is Sew Psyched (the light/dark green)

This color is by Topshop (one of my favorite stores)

Its called Silver Bullet.
