I found this designer on Craftster about two years ago, and immediately fell head over heels. I absolutely LOVE her style. If ever you want to surprise me, send me one of her jackets. She is amazing and largely self-taught - gotta respect that.

*Anticipation!!! Vacation is coming up, I'll be going to California to visit family and friends and I'm super excited! Also, my first quarter back at school is wrapping up, and while it was great to take the classes, it was a lot to be working on at once. I can't wait to be finished!!!

*Getting Organized: Dorky, but come on, how great does it feel to actually see what you have? I did my craft closet this weekend, and while I'm far from actually being totally organized at least I know what is there.

*Baking presents for far away friends: This weekend me and my friend Sarah are going to be whipping up amazing fatty care packages for the holidays. For once I may have things in the mail on time!

*Going out to eat: It's such a simple pleasure, but I really love it! Trying new restaurants and exploring other parts of town, or sticking with an old favorite, its just one of my favorite activities.

*Thinking about New Years Resolutions: I know no one ever keeps them, but I really enjoy the promise of a clean slate, starting over again. But why wait for new year's? Every day is technically a new year, an anniversary of that date one year ago. Why is January first the only day to make a change? I'm not sure what all of mine will be but I am certainly including financial goals, as well as job search related goals, and of course the ubiquitous fitness and diet goals. I'm also thinking about setting book reading goals, and home decoration goals.

Love his belt buckle & his glasses. Looks like he might be a bit Chad-ish tho. Maybe lose the scarf, or de-pop the collar!

I love her shoe/sock color combo of course, but also love the baggy textures of the shirt and the tucked in pants. Looks kind of early 20th century news-boy meets pirate. I wish she had a turquoise bow in her hair. Or large turquoise earrings.

Wow, that necklace is amazing. I am not even sure if I like it so much as I think it is really vibrant and unusual. It'd be really cool if she had yellow shoes on I think.

This is such a cool dress! It looks so comfy and the color is amazing of course. Also is she using that god's eye as a fan? How interesting. I love her purse and necklace as well.

Those pants are so cool, very 19th century. I also like that jacket a lot. Great stitching detail.

Well, of course the vintage styling on the girl on the left, but the reason I picked this one was because the girl on the right is wearing SPATS. Yes! I totally have been wanting them for about a year and a half. I better hurry before they become played out!
