Spring is here?

With the weather reaching heights of 80 degrees in JANUARY, it feels like the start of spring/summer.

Despite the weather, my wardrobe/outfit choices have not fit the temperature!  I'm still wearing my black jeans and sweaters.... I blame it on being conservative for my "job" as a therapist in my grad program's clinic.

If it were up to me, I would be wearing this GORGEOUS dress.  Sadly, it doesn't fit in with my budget...

Joie - Sari Romantic Dress, $278!

Surprise surprise.

 Who knew leather leggings and tartan plaid could look SO CUTE?

I mean, separately they could be horrendous, so together you would think, "Yuck," but wow.

Major kudos to Emmy Rossum's stylist (or to herself?)  Cute booties as well.

Looking hot in a paper bag...

Even though I only see 5'10" skinny girls looking good in this trend, I'm loving the high-waist cropped trouser trend.

I especially love this paperbag trouser from Urban Outfitters!

Kimchi Blue Paperbag Trouser, $59.  Available in yellow and black.

Happy holidays

I hate posts without pictures.... but I was a lazy photog while in Vegas.

This past week has been busy!

I just got back from a 4-day trip to Vegas on Wednesday, and today I spent all afternoon and night baking a cake and cookies, making an experimental batch of homemade stuffing (a success), and taking care of a sick boyfriend.

I had a cold before and during Vegas, and now he's sick after!  Despite the sickness, I enjoyed Vegas, but I did not enjoy the Encore housekeeping.... they ignored our "Do not disturb" sign twice while we were in the room, what the hell?  It makes me wonder what happens while we're away.  It's like they hope that the do not disturb people are out so that they can rummage through their things!

I'm glad we left Vegas early on Wednesday, because after we left it was deemed to be "in a state of emergency" due to widespread flooding.  The weather in Vegas wasn't as bad as it was in LA, but I was behind a car that spun out while getting on the freeway.... pretty scary.  The good thing about slightly bad weather was that I didn't want to walk to the various hotels that have good shopping areas (Caesar's, Palazzo, Venetian, Planet Hollywood).  I also didn't lose any money gambling!  Definitely a rare occurrence.

If I didn't have to rush around tomorrow I would take photos of my homemade stuffing walkthrough, but the food aspect of my blog will have to take a backseat to efficiency!  Pictures of the final product will be taken, though :)

The life of a bum...

I've been SO lazy these past few days, but it has been glorious.  Watching lots of TV (finally caught up on HIMYM), reading lots of magazines, and just relaxing.

I think I took like 2 naps today, which I'm actually not proud of.  I haven't worked out in a week or so, and I've been eating the worst food ever.  My energy levels are just way too low, so I'm thinking about going on a mini version of a cleanse by cutting out bad carbs and eating lots of veggies.  It's tough when my parents decide to cook a huge pot of rice and delicious fatty foods, though...

Finals were pretty horrific, but that's mostly because I'm used to walking out of finals feeling good.  I walked out of two finals feeling like poop!  Thankfully I got an A in one of those classes.  My first grad school A!

I'll try to think of some "interesting" posts later.  Even though I have all the time in the world now, I'm the least motivated to make blog posts.  Sigh.
