My friend, Minxshop!!

Yesterday in the mail I received from my good friend Minkie, and owner of MinxShop, 2 lovely feather necklaces!

Aren't they lovely?! She sent me 2--one large, and one small. Even my boyfriend likes them & wants to wear one! A great gift for a girl, or a boy!

Up close, the chains & tiny underfeather accents are so delicate!

I can't wait to wear these in an outfit and show them off on LookBook!

I can't emphasize enough how awesome Minkie's stuff is! She's always been a super talented girl, but I'm really loving her new products, especially this vertebrae in a jar necklace!!

Anyway, everyone should check out her Etsy!

My lovely sponsor, Shoppalu!

Received a package from my AWESOME sponsor, Shoppalu!!

They're an AWESOME site that sells new, and vintage clothing at a good price!

I always love getting gifts in the mail, and this time there were 4 items, yay!!

This is probably my favourite item--I already took lots of pictures wearing it, so stay tuned! (Don't you love how it lays on the hanger??)

I love this funky top!

I believe the website said this dress was from the 1950's. Isn't it so deleicate looking?

I love maxi length skirts & dresses!!

I love my new sweater & skirt set from ROMWE.COM!

I really love my new sweater set! The skirt is so delicate, and the top is so warm!

I also think that the design being followed through from the sweater onto the skirt is a nice touch! My scarf from Forever 21 is so warm!

I really do wear these little pink boots WAY too much, but I really love them. I can't help it!!

Also, where is everyone on LookBook today?? It seems so dead! I bet everyone is home for the Holidays, and working on their finals! If you are home, what Holidays do you celebrate? I'm excited for Christmas!

A gift from my friends at SUGAR LIPS APPAREL!

They wrapped up the box so nicely!

I really LOVE my new top! It's so baggy, soft, and sparkly. I can't WAIT to coordinate this into an outfit! I'm really excited to be fashion blogging for Sugar Lips Apparel!

I love my MANGO cardigan!

I got this cardigan awhile ago, but hadn't had the chance to wear it, yet!

I love how it's gold and sparkly. It really stands out, in person!

As always, I LOVE my Jeffrey Campbell's!!

Pink Paintball stained denim jacket

Wearing my shorts from ChicWish!

I really like my old denim jacket! You can't really tell, but it's stained with pastel pink paintballs! I love pink, so I'm not complaining, haha!

These boots are so comfortable!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING~ & Lots of packages!

First of all, HAPPY THANKSGIVING! (To those of you that celebrate!)

Anyway, I always love receiving a package in the mail! (Who doesn't, really?!) So when I arrived home from visiting Jenna in Portland, I was excited to find I had FOUR waiting for me!

One was some makeup from Japan, one was my first order from Chicwish, and the others were packages from ShopLately.com, and from Romwe.com!

I am OBSESSED with this snake necklace from my lovely friends at Shop Lately! I can't wait to coordinate it into a cool outfit! Maybe something darker?

This skirt & oversized sweater set are from my lovely friends at Romwe!

I'm really excited to wear it in the fall, it looks so warm, doesn't it?

This double vest 3-way set is one of the items I purchased from Chicwish! I love how versatile it is. I can wear just the lace piece, just the denim piece, or both together! (Personally, I like them together the best!)

I really like these lace shorts. They're a bit late for summer, but I'm confident I can coordinate them nicely into an outfit.

I am SO happy about this petti! I have been wanting a similar one for some time now, so now I can check it off my list!

It's such a lovely dusty rose colour. And I must note the cute sparkly rhinestone embellishments along the bottom!!

Faded Light of Summer's Might

I wish it wasn't raining QUITE so much out--it's super hard to get pictures everyday!

(I love how my friend Courtney helped me edit these first 2 photos!!)

I really love my feather shall from H&M!!

This is where I use to take our ten French Bulldogs on walks! They loved to stomp up and down on the grass, and hide in it!! They're so cute.

The old growth trees by our old house are so pretty!!

PS: Please stay tuned! Tonight I will announce the winner of my fall sweater giveaway!!

Forest Walk- My new fox tail from ROMWE!!

I visited one of my best friends and stayed for the weekend! We took LookBook pictures, as always!

Some of the forested areas near her house are really pretty!!

I am so SO excited to show off my new fox tail keychain from ROMWE.com , it's so lovely!! I cannot stop petting it, it feels so real, although it's faux fur!! (Even my dog thinks it's real!!)

I think I wear these shoes at LEAST 2 times a week!! I love them.

My boyfriend, Josh, sitting on a giant stump! And my friend's little brother, carving into a tree. (I bet he was carving his girlfriend's name!)

Hanging out with friends is always fun! We all decided to take pictures jumping off the swings.That's my boyfriend flying into the air in the background, haha!

I have literally been looking for white cowboy boots for half of my time on this earth. I purchased these online thinking they were dusty white rather than tan--of course with my luck they were totally tan. It would figure, right? However, I'm still super happy with them! I've heard there's such a think as leather paint out there, so there's always that if I'm feeling crafty.

And I've worn them a few times since receiving them (you can view them worn, in the entry below!) and I'm actually becoming quite fond of the shade, although I still would LOVE white cowboy boots someday!!

But speaking on some intense wants here, what's something you've ALWAYS lusted after and never been able to get ahold of, OR something you've been lusting after awhile, and FINALLY obtained? Let's hear your stories, ladies!

My dad's alpaca sweater!

I really love my new sweater! My mom had given it to my dad for this season, however it was a bit too small for him, and he gave it to me! I think it's really stylish--both my parents have great taste! (I'm glad I get to benefit from it by getting this awesome sweater made from alpaca!!)

If you'll notice, it even has alpaca ON it!! They look kind of silly, but I like it.

I'm really diggin' my new off-white cowboy boots from DURANGO, too! I have a post & review coming about them shortly!!

A shot of my boyfriend Josh's shoes, caked terribly in mud from this day!!

It may not always seem like it from my photos, but it's usually freezing when I take my photos! And I can gurantee you, every blogger you see goes through a lot to bring you what they do. Be it mud, or rain, or freezing temperatures...let's just say, fashion blogging outside in the winter is a cold affair--but I couldn't be happier to do it, all for my lovely readers! Stay warm this winter!!
