My Best Friend and I

Meet Haley :) She's one of my best friends and I love her to death!

We decided to do a BFF photo shoot and here are the pictures!

We always have each other's back :)

 

"Things are never quite as scary when you have a best friend."

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive."

"A loyal friend laughs at your jokes when they're not so good, and sympathizes with your problems when they're not so bad."

Thanks for being there for me and being my best friend <3

Mocha: My puppy

Merry Christmas from Mocha :) I put her in a little reindeer outfit and she was really good! I fed her treats while I took pictures.

Merry Christmas!

Santa Hat Strawberries

I love the Christmas season :) So my friend, Haley and I made Santa Hat Strawberries! They were super easy and cute! And our families loved them!

You will need:

• 1/2 cup White Chocolate Chips (any brand is okay!)
• Strawberries
• Spoon
• Knife
• Small bowl
• Wax paper

The steps are really easy!

1. First, wash your strawberries.
2. Pick out the strawberries that have a pointy top and get rid of the ones that don't!
3. Cut off the ends off the strawberries and throw them away. Then dry your strawberries with a paper towel.
4. Melt your white chocolate in the microwave. To do that just put it in for 30 seconds and take it out every 10 seconds to stir it.
5. Lay out your wax paper.
6. Take a spoon and put a little bit of chocolate in it then make a little blob on the wax paper. Press the bottom of the strawberry on it so you create the bottom of the hat. Do that to all of them.
7. With the end of the spoon or with your finger, dab it in white chocolate then lightly make a little ball on the top of the strawberry. Do that to all of them.
8. Put in fridge for 30 minutes.
9. Enjoy your cute little santa hats!

This is a great treat to bring to a christmas party if you ran out of time and you need something fast and easy to bring. 

Happy Holidays everyone!!!

New Outlet Mall!

A new Outlet mall just opened the other day and I went! I didn't want to spend too much because Black Friday is coming and I want to get people gifts for the Holidays. But I can see myself coming here often! My mom and I drove there and it was crazy! People were everywhere and they were acting a bit chaotic. We grabbed lunch at this 50's inspired diner and then shopped!

While I was taking pictures by this Christmas Tree, a little boy cam up to me and asked me if I was Taylor Swift. I was flattered :) 

The only purchase I made was at Michael Kors and I got this adorable tweed dress below

From a few weeks ago.... (Pumpkin Picking)

A few weeks ago I went pumpkin picking. I got these leather pants shortly before and I'm absolutely in LOVE with them. I decided to splurge a little so they didn't look cheap because sometimes leather or faux leather can look a bit cheap and sometimes not worth the buy. They are super comfy too! They are stretchy and comfy like leggings :)

Plum and Cheetah

I've never loved Cheetah print like I do now! There's just something about that pattern that you can either spice up or neutralize in an outfit. It goes great with many colors and it's perfect for winter/fall season! I had a busy and boring day so might as well spice it up with some cheetah print, right? :)

Jacket: Hazel Clothes | Dress: Yessica | Heels: Famous Footwear (Now on SALE! Should've waited to but them haha) | Purse: Michael Kors | Headband: Karina via Ulta

It's only halfway through the week and I'm ready for the weekend!

I'm actually going to a Symphony with a good friend so I'm looking forward to that :)

Have a lovely rest of the week!

Monday

Ah Monday. The worst day of the week. It's so far away from the weekend and usually the busiest/most boring day. After I came back from school today I did a few things to make my busy day at least a little bit enjoyable :)

Since it's Manicure Monday, I painted my nails "Lincoln Park After Dark" by OPI. It's a gorgeous dark plum color for this season.

I took my dog, Mocha out for some fresh air 

but she was more interested in playing in the snow :)

Pants: TJ Maxx | Coat: Calvin Klein | Boots: Tory Burch | Leopard Belt: Banana Republic | Scarf: Charlotte Russe | Watch: Michael Kors | Long-Sleeved Shirt: Old Navy

I went to a few stores today because I'm working on a few DIY projects and I'll be posting about them soon! Now I have to get back to my homework and watch tonights recorded episode of 90210. I wonder what will happen to Naomi and Max....

Have a great Monday!
