Shopping!

     Whilst at school, I was forced to discard too many shoes. They had been worn out beyond reasonable repair, due to age and much use on a hilly campus. Naturally, I took advantage of this ill happening and bought new shoes when I got home for Christmas Break. Behold what I bought at Rack Room Shoes:





  Superhero boots! I love boots. Speaking of which, here is a bit of Gloria's advice concerning boot wearing: If you want to tuck the hem of your pants into your boots, please only do it if your boots come at least halfway up your calf. If you wear ankle boots with slim fitting pants, it just makes you look top-heavy and disproportioned. Also, ensure that the heels of these boots are practical, being neither too high nor to skinny. Wearing pants inside of boots with skinny and/or high heels nearly always tends to look a bit too provocative. Skinner/higher heels can, however, be worn with a skirt.
     What's funny is that I didn't plan on going to this store, but when I went, I found what I wanted, and I found it on sale! (Unfortunately for my wallet, I forsee that I still have a tad more shopping to do before May cometh along.) I have to say that my mother is to thank for that; she suggested going to the store, and I'm glad I did!

Coffee...

     Mmmmm... Coffee..... I love the stuff. Coffee is just plain amazing; provided, of course, that is has milk and sugar in it. :-)
     Besides being the ambrosial drink that many people love, coffee is also a color. There are loads of pieces (especially cold-weather ones) that have that rich, warm, coffee color.

     I really like the skirt on the left. Very autumnal. Jewelry made with wooden beads also has the warm, mocha effect, and goes nicely with a simple, white blouse. For some people, brown eyeliner or eyeshadow really works. It's great for a natural look.
     Now go get some coffee!

Snowflakes Roasting on an Open Fire

     Yes, the title makes so much sense. If you can't understand, it's because you are neither wise enough, nor educated enough. You, as my good buddy Socrates would say, "cannot see that you do not see, and therefore cannot see what you do not see"-- or something like that.
     ...
     Allright, FINE. I made it up. Today I thought I'd share some pretty snowflake findings with you. Snowflake pieces are great for the winter. They're pretty and Christmasy.

I'm usually not one who paints her nails, but this nail job is really cool.
And the shoes look like they're from Ever After. Awesome.

     I just wish it would snow here. Alas, it's usually too warm here for that. At least it snows at school:

(I'm on the dock, and my girlfriend is on the river.
It didn't snow feet, sadly.)

     Since I'm on Christmas vacation, I will actually have time to post. Yay! So stay tuned. :-)
