Holiday Shopping Day with Momma

Today I had a lovely day doing some holiday shopping with my momma. 14 days until Christmas, and I only have one more present to get for a special someone. I love this season. Things can get a little crazy at shopping centers and whatnot, but there is something special about running around looking for something that will make someones face light up on Christmas day. It's the little things in life that make it so great.

Outfit Details:
Cardigan- Target
Dress- Mimi Chica
Tights- Target
Shoes- Minnetonka Classic Leather Fringed boot

I also made sure that I wore some comfy shoes, because I knew I would do lots of walking on my hunt for Christmas presents. My outfit was inspired by one of my favorite blogger's recent outfits, Tieka from Selective Potential. I love her style and the way she mixes prints! Mixing prints is so much fun. Buffalo plaid is so perfect for this cool weather too! I've waited so long to bust this cardi out of my closet. I also mixed the plaid cardigan with a heart and dot dress. Comfiest dress EVER. Oh and it has pockets! Dresses with pockets are every girls jam.

Well I sure did have an amazing day.
The holidays are definitely happy.

Tights and boots and oversized cardigans! Oh my!

As the weather gets cooler, I see more of my favorite articles of clothing come out and play. I've always loved winter time because of the scarves, boots, coats, and tights. The more layers, the merrier! Right?!

Tights have been my latest obsession though. I want them all! Every color and every print! I just love how much they liven up an outfit. You could just wear a plain ol' dress, but if you slip on a pair of colored tights you have yourself a complete outfit!

Here are a few of my favorite tights:

The first tights pictured, I got from Joann's when they were having a Halloween sale. Who doesn't want to be a ladybug every once in a while? ;P The second tights pictured, I got from Target's irresistible clearance section. And The third tights are from Forever 21. I love all things polka-dotted so I had to have these! I'm sure my fellow polka dot addicts would concur.

Today I sported legs a la pink as well. I was having one of those lazy days (those happen to me wayyy to often) so I just slipped on the first dress I grabbed from my closet. I was feeling a bit blah until "ba-da-bing!" I slipped on these pink tights. They are sweater tights as well. So perfect for today, because it was freezing and raining! If you live in California, you know how indecisive our weather is. One day it could be really hot and the next day it will be freezing. I wonder if this cool weather is here to stay. I sure hope so. I enjoyed the warm weather for long enough.

Dress: Charlotte Russe
Tights: Target (years ago)
Boots: Dirty Laundry (The brand. Not my hamper. :P)

Before I wrap this up, I want to thank anyone who has taken the time to stop by my blog or has written a comment. You guys are the best! I will have to visit your lovely blogs! I know I always take these long blogging breaks, but I really enjoy blogging when I do get to it. I need to work on being a responsible blogger! That's definitely on my to-do list! Well I hope you are all having a colorful weekend! :)

A few of my favorite things: Fall Edition.

It's the most wonderful time of the year.... FALL! Yes, I love, love, love this season! I actually do think that Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, but I can't help falling in love with Fall. Here's why:

1. Pumpkin Pie scented candles. I absolutely love pumpkin pie! I know it's a little bit too early for Thanksgiving dinner, but hey if I can't eat it... I'll just smell it!

2. Pumpkin everything. Who am I kidding right? I can't just limited it to candles! I recently had the pumpkin spice frappuccino from Starbucks, and oh my! It was amazing! I want to try the pumpkin spice latte next.

3. Boots, tights, and sweaters. Fall weather is perfect. Not too hot. Not too cold. Just cool enough for you to bust out the boots, tights, and sweaters and not look ridiculous.

4. Fall colors. Today I was majorly diggin' Fall colors. I don't have much orange in my closet, but I'm looking to change that this fall.

P.S. I love my Minnetonka Mocs. <3
5. Goofing around with costumes at Target. Yesterday my mom, hubby, and I were at Target and I could resist picking up these glasses! My mom happened to start the fun by putting on a masquerade mask, and then the fun started from there. Ah, fun times.

So what are you favorite things about Fall? :)
