♡ MASSIVE HAUL ♡

Hi, guys! Here's just a short post things I got for Christmas! This is really delayed, but enjoy! (I'm still figuring out how I should take pictures for this blog, so this set up may be temporary.)


URBAN OUTFITTERS

I'm obsessed with flannels, and I loved the colors of this particular one so this purchase was a no-brainer for me. I hate how some "flannel" shirts are made of stiff cotton, but this one's super soft and comfy! I could wear it out or to sleep.

H&M

I haven't gotten around to hanging this top up yet, so it's a bit wrinkled, sorry! I loved how simple but pretty this plain black top looked, so I figured I could wear it by itself or layer it up.

This pull-over sweater looked so comfy that I had to buy it. I'd pair this with a pretty skirt!

VICTORIA'S SECRET//PINK

I wanted some loose, long-sleeved off-the-shoulder shirts and VS's Pink had some really nice ones! They look really "blah" on the hanger, but they're amazingly flattering and effortless on.

(This is me wearing the black shirt; I know you can't easily see how it looks, but here's an idea!)

TOPSHOP

Obviously I grabbed this sweater because of the gorgeous detailing around the neckline. But besides that, this top's comfortably snug and the material is super soft.

 (Again, sorry for the wrinkles!) This is a cropped, off-the-shoulder sweater that has that mohair type of material! I loved everything about this sweater and planned on wearing it with, again, a pretty skirt or cool bottoms in general. The only downside is that I found an exact duplicate of this sweater in PacSun for MUCH cheaper. Bummer, but I'll just have to make sure I get my worth's wear out of this!

HOLLISTER CO.

I'm trying to stop shopping at stores like Hollister all-together, but I can't resist some good basic pieces (that doesn't have Hollister's logo splashed everywhere conspicuously, of course).  This cardigan is tight in the perfect way and super comfy. I love that the light grey color goes with everything and how pretty the "waterfall" opening is.

AMERICAN EAGLE OUTFITTERS

I've been looking FOREVER for a jacket like this: denim torso with sweatshirt sleeves and hood. I love how effortless this is and how I can just throw it on over anything. Also, it's lightweight! Perfect for spring.

ALL SAINTS

Out of all of my purchases during Christmas, this skirt was the most expensive item. But as you can see how beautiful it is, I had to get it. It's hard to tell from the picture, but the skirt's covered in beading with a leather stripe lining the zipper. I plan on wearing this during vacation (I go to Cancun every year), and possibly even dress this down with some simple tops so I can wear it whenever, not just for special occasions. The only downside about this is how heavy it is.

MISC.




LORAC Pro Palette
NYX Butter Gloss in "Creme Brûlée"
Abercrombie & Fitch beanie
"The Shining" novel

I've heard amazing reviews about both the LORAC Pro palette and NYX Butter Glosses, so of course I  bought both to try out. I have to add to the reviews and say that they're amazing!

The A&F beanie was given to me by an aunt and there isn't much else to say about it! It's made from a soft knit material and keeps me warm enough.

I've been dying to watch The Shining movie but I wanted to read the novel before I did; I finally got around to buying it and I can't wait to read it!

Thank you so much for reading! Please feel free to comment or suggest any ideas for future posts!

♡ My Absence ♡

So, I know that my posts on this blog are super erratic and there are huge time gaps between each post, and I apologize for that. I always say that I'm going to try to update as often as I can and it never works out, much like my many attempts at trying to keep a daily journal (massive failure).

It isn't that I don't have an interest in updating content anymore, I actually really do; I'm just extremely unhappy with my current method of taking pictures to upload onto here. My lighting is awful and I still haven't figured out how to photograph clothing well enough.

I promise that I'll work on it and DOUBLE promise to try to post soon/often! I have so many posts I'd like to do, but simply can't because I don't want to upload anything I'll be unsatisfied with.

Meanwhile, here are some of my recent Instagram posts/pictures I'm in love with at the moment:
