I also want a black peacoat.  And a camel colored Scarf

Dress:




Not only do I want this dress, but also just Peter Pan collared dresses in general.  Please :)

Camel Colored Jacket:





I need this jacket as well. Also, any and every chunky infinity scarf needs to find it's way into my closet. Please and thank you.

Sequins:





I feel like I need to have at least one moment of sequins in my wardrobe.... :)

Black Mini:





They have these at Forever 21 for like $6.50! Yay!  I can always just get it for myself.  So easy to layer with and make winter appropriate!  The options are endless!!

SO cool...

And finally (for now)...



this one opens up to a clock...There's another one that is like a lock and opens to read "I open at the close". Either one is badass.

So ladies, what do YOU want?

Another Short One

Totes did way worse on my Biometry exam than I thought. Just put it on my tab.

My roommates and I have started a "Selfish Cunt" Tally Board.  Basically you get a tally everytime you're selfish.  I have the least amount with 6, majority of which are highly questionable ;).  Just throwin' that out there.



This looked better in person. Promise ;)

Gotta go read the Importance of Being Earnest now, wish me luck!!

Hola, Mis Amigos!

Long to no see, eh?  sorry about that...I don't have a ton of time to update right now (sorry, school is lame and time consuming, currently trying to save the Javan Rhino, no biggie) BUT I come baring gifts!  Several small posts!  (And you claim I'm not a giver!)

This was my outfit the other day! My key to fall/winter is to layer like a fool.  It also helps becuase currently my apartment has no gas, therefore no heat until Tuesday.  To say it is a bit frigid in here is an understatement.














I was afraid you guys wouldn't be able to see the shoulder pads, which are obviously my favorite part of this outfit.  I feel like such a college kid in it.

Jacket : Thrifted, no label
Shirt: just a plain white one from Lord knows where
Scarf: Thrifted
OuterCoat (second picture?): J Crew, thrifted

xoxo,

Nicky

A Collection of Text Messages

Papa Son: May 13, 5:51

Week in Review

So my first week of classes back is ALMOST done!!!  I only have Stats today from 2:30-3:20.  Not too shabby.  Here's a rundown of my classes so far:

Stats 2110:  My prof seems like a really cool guy, and the class seems really interesting.  I'm just ecstatic to be taking a stats class honestly.  Hopefully this doesn't bite me in the but.

Phil 1010:  Dropping this class.  a little too....I dunno, out there for me I guess.  I feel constantly hated on in it because I'm a scientist lol

Biol 4090?:  Principles of Biometry (basically Stats applied to Biology) LOVE this class so far.  Professor is awesome and once again, it's stats. WOOT

Lit 2010:  I think I'm really going to like this class.  My prof is really nice and the class is really good at discussions.  The books we have to read are pretty sweet too. Oh yeah, and I've already read most of them ;)

PopC2200: Intro to Folklore/Folklife.  I love my prof.  Really funny, very committed to his subject.  He said the first couple weeks are slow because he only covers vocab which i was starting to see in class yesterday, but he also said we're going to be looking at ourselves and our heritage a lot which I think is pretty awesome! Pumped!

Biol 4???:  Conservation Bio.  Taking this class with my friend AND my prof is adorable and SUPER nice.  Like, ridiculously nice.  He made us come up with our own grading scale. 

And THAT'S what my semester looks like so far! Not too shabby, eh?

The End is Near...

** I will work Harry Potter references into any and every post that I can.

So today marked my first day of classes!  I had Philosophy 101 and Principles of Biometry.  Both of my professors seem extremely nice and laid back so I'm very excited about that. 

My biometry class just made me realize how much I would just love to minor in stats though, so I'm really really really gonna work hard at getting as many classes in as I can before I leave.  Which means trying to get into that class that I dropped again....

Clothes plan is doing well today!  I wore a shirt I used to love but  haven't worn in awhile, and realized I still love it! She's a keeper :)

New Beginings

hee hee, long time no see! My fault, I know it!

Anyway, as you can see by my title, this school year is going to be all about new beginings. 

Starting with clothes!!! 

I have a clothes problem.  I can admit that.  It's a problem though that is both costly monetarily and to the health of my body and mind.  Clothes are piled all over the place in my room to the point that I can't even sleep on my bed anymore.  I don't want to sleep on that couch one more night!!!  Everytime I just look at the room I feel overwhelmed and get irritable.

So, when getting ready to move into my new apartment, I tried to pack on the lighter side.  I seriously think I left about half of my wardrobe at home!  (Granted, this still means I brought a lot.)  It wasn't even the funky stuff I decided to keep back either!  There were some pretty painful cuts.  I'm hoping to take a lot out of this though.

I tried to bring some stuff I haven't really worn in awhile.  I think the reason I sometimes gravitate to the same things is because I have SO much stuff that I just go with stuff I know I like.  There's TOO much of a selection.  So this will be their time to shine.  If I still don't wear them, or realize I don't really like the way they look or find it's hard to incorporate them into my wardrobe then away they must go. 

I think the best way to incorporate some of my funkier pieces is to pair them with really cute solid staples to balance out the look.  So I want to try to experiment with this a bit as well. 

I also want to really work on organization.  I actually am pretty organized but I think I need to focus more on maintaining it.  I let things get kind of chaotic then decide it's time to crack down and organize the hell out stuff. 

I also want to work on following through with the ideas and projects I have in my head.  I think if I actually do them and complete them it'll free up some space to come up with even more projects!  I have so many I want to do right now I feel likes they're all backed up.  Maybe focus on one project a week?

Continue reading!!!  I got The Help, and the first Hunger Games book from my lovely coworkers at Dawson, not to mention all the books I already want to read, so I want to really try to keep that up.  I WILL reach my 35 books benchmark this year!!

I know there's more, I'll keep updating this as I think of them.  It'll be interesting when the school year is over to see how much of this I actually went through on.

xoxo
