Long time no see, am I right?  I didn't realize just how busy I was until I saw that it had been over a month since I posted!  The reason that I'm so busy is because I actually don't have any finals during finals week but before.  At my school, finals week is right now, but for me, I had to do almost everything last week.  In a sense I was lucky because I only had one exam (and it wasn't even cumulative), but I had a ton of projects.  So for the past two weeks, I had to give a Pecha Kucha presentation (if you don't know what this is, you are incredibly lucky), turn in my photography final, and finish my drawing final.  It ended up being very overwhelming to get everything done and handed in in this amount of time.

For this look, I was clearly channeling the 1970s.  Even though it was warmer than it had been the past few days, I still got pretty chilly wearing thing (as seen by my red nose in the last picture).  I was especially cold after in the evening as I went to see a local performance of "White Christmas."  I ended up wearing my coat through the entire second act.  All in all, though, I really like the look of this layer from the turtleneck and the dress.  I know I'll be wearing this look again.

Oh, wondering about this title?  Two things: 1) 2015 has gone so fast!  Who can believe that it's already December?  and 2)  A car from the parking lot was driving way too fast and almost hit my photographer (a.k.a my mom)!  It was especially unsafe considering how icy the roads are right now!

Wishlist: Summer 2015

Glamorous Belted Shirtdress
H&M Asymmetrical Top
White Midi Skirt
Adidas Superstars
MAC Red Lipstick
Smashbox Step by Step Contour Kit

Do you ever feel like you get into a summer slump?  Right now, I'm really feeling it.  I sometimes find myself staring into my closet, just waiting for inspiration to strike.  Because of this 'slump,' I decided to create this wishlist, even though I know most of these things I will probably never end up owning (*cough* the $300 skirt *cough*).
Since it's summer, I've realized that I really don't own any tanks or light dresses.  I love the asymmetry of this top from H&M.  I discovered the dress from Emma Walker and just absolutely fell in love with it; the length and the pattern are right up my alley.  I've been thinking about these Adidas since I went to the Teen Vogue Fashion U in March - so many people had them and just looked so great.  The white midi skirt, even though it's rather pricey, it's exactly what I've been looking for.  The MAC lipstick I already own, but it's getting to the end of its life (in fact I just featured it on my favorite lipsticks post).  Finally, this Smashbox contour kit is suppose to be amazing.  Oh, and the Elle UK, you ask?  Well it's my favorite magazine, BUT since I live in a small town in the US, it can be pretty hard to find.

These are the summer items that I'm currently wishing for, but what about you?  I'd love to hear; comment your links below!
