SIDEWALKS FOR PARKING GARAGES

Button-Up: H&M | Pants: XXI | Boots: Chicwish | Coat: Chicwish | Hat: Chicwish

Lately I've been the busy person that ever was. I've started school and an internship, add in the early sunset due to daylight savings, I never have time to shoot my outfits. Trust me, I've been dressing up everyday for the past few week. You should definitely follow me on Instagram because thats where I always seem to snap a bit of my outfit (mirror or FWIS style).

BUT! I've taken a que from my blogger friend Amber, who seems to shoot her looks no matter what. Amber inspired me to snap these in the parking structure after my internship. She's always shooting at night (which I've been dying to do) and is no stranger to parking structures. Definitely check her out. She's a babe and has awesome style.

Any who, these pieces (the hat, coat and boots) have been my personal favorites all month. Be prepared to see a lot of these worked into my looks for a while.

TOP OF THE MORNING!

The only reason this is considered top of the morning is because I've scheduled it to be so. If I posted my morning it would be in the middle of the afternoon. But I wanted to give you a glimpse of my morning and talk about two of my resolutions.

This mug of oatmeal is a representation of my diet plans for the year 2k14. I picked up a big container of old fashion oats in order to replace the sugar packed instant version. The first day I tried them was actually a hot mess. I went by the stove top instruction and it was not good. The oats didn't cook all the way so I tried heating up water like they do at Starbucks -- NO. It eventually came out right and I enjoyed this serving sooooo much. I know I've got to try out so many new things this year that wont be too tasty at first but I've got to keep at it.

The new layout is also a part of the new year. First off, I hope you guys like the new Roses are Red homepage. I've decided to incorporate the Roses part of the blog. I didn't want something cheesy or boring. I came across this print and thought "This is pretty trippy," which meant it was a perfect fit. Also my social network links on the side match the header so feel free to give them a click. But the layout is a representation to do more, try something different, and evolve the blog so you guys enjoy it more.

Thank you guys for reading for all this time and welcome to those who are just joining us here!

Jacket: Thrifted - Jeans: XXI - Shoes: Nine West - Bag: H&M

Today my friend Caitlyn called me up for a coffee shop lunch date before she headed to work. I planned on spending the day in bed but took the opportunity to get up and out. I decided to put some pep in my step and put on these Nine West sling backs. I bought them for a one time purpose for an event because I didn't have an updated nude shoe. Surprisingly they went well with this look and weren't a pain to walk in.

The place we ate at was Portfolio. A cute and very popular coffee house in my city. It actually has the titled of number one in LB. They had a total makeover since the last time I've been and the vibe was nice. After chowing down on paninis we ventured down "Retro Row" to walk it all off.

Hopefully your day is going great!

Happy New Year!

And the year has started. These rings are my first obsession of the year, so I guess you can call this post a late Weekly Wednesday. I saw these and had to have them. They represent the rings of my dream: chunky, shiny and stackable.

This post is a short one but I'm excited to accessorizing these babies and excited about the new year.

Resolution post coming soon.
