green rain boots

boots: nordstrom, jeans: zara, flannel: rue21, sweater: h&m, belt: gift

I bought these babies just in time. Yesterday I decided I needed a pair of rain boots, and so I exchanged my red toms I got for christmas and got myself a pair of green rain boots, and goodness was that a wonderful decision on my part. Not only are they incredibly comfortable, they also work quite nicely in Seattle. Today when I left for class it was POURING, and six hours later when I returned home from work, it was still POURING... but my feet stayed warm and dry. So, I am one happy camper, and stoked about my purchase. {hip hip hooray}

I finally mastered a bun I like as well. Which is just wonderful because it is easy to do AND looks cute {if I do say so myself}!!!

Also, today was the first day of class. I was not too excited about the whole, getting up early and going to class, when i've spent the last three weeks lounging around. I really {really} like my new french teacher though, so I'm pretty excited about this quarter.

I am so dang frustrated that I cannot figure out how to make the pictures above ^^ smaller so that they don't expand into my side bars. I will get to the bottom of it, but until then, bare with me please.

Au Revoir <3

new years eve: sassy cheetah dress and black lace up heels

shoes: famous footwear, tights: ross, cheetah dress: small boutique in spain

New years eve was one poppin' night, heck yes!! The theme for me was {sassy}. Is my dress not sassy or what? I felt hyper, energetic and a bit sarcastic in the bad boy, and it was quite the hit. Goodness did we all have an incredibly good time. The Lopez's really know how to throw a party {thank you thank you for the wonderful accommodations} and I'm pretty sure every person enjoyed their night. We started it off with a delicious dinner made by the fantastic Melissa Rockwood, and then friends showed up to prefunk before heading to the Lopez's.

This was the first year that the Levy's all did something different {or at least that was the plan, until my parents followed me to the party} but none the less, it was nice having dinner together before we ventured our own ways. It was a great night and everyone enjoyed themselves quite nicely. It was so wonderful seeing old and new friends all in one place and catching up with everyone on my second to last night. Bringing in the new year with everyone I love was just fantastic and I wouldn't have imagined it any other way.

Here is to a new year. here is to 2012, and all the wonderful things it will bring.

What did you guys do for your new years? Celebrate with the ones you love? I sure hope so!

{not a big fan of taking pictures inside, but it was already dark by the time my "photographer" got home, so we had to settle with the only semi plain background in the house}

Christmas break is almost over and I don't think I am ready to be back to reality. I have fully enjoyed my time catching up on TV shows, laying in my comfy pants and spending time with the family. On the flip side, I am incredibly excited to be back in the city {I am missing my skyscrapers and busy streets} and fairly excited to start school again. I am taking some really interesting classes this quarter and I am excited to engage my brain again. This break has left my brain feeling slightly foggy, considering I have hardly had to lift a pencil or learn something new. Every time I make the transition back and forth for holidays between what use to be my home in Idaho and where I currently live in Seattle stirs up emotions. The moments at home are bitter sweet, but this isn't my home anymore, and I sometimes forget that.

I think it is time to go type up my new years resolutions, so that I can have my goals set, my plans made and be able to look forward to the future.

... here is too the new year... cheers :)
