So I saw Wicked tonight and it was absolutely amazing. It was such a cute story and their voices were AMAZING! I even cried a little bit.

anyway, yay for boots and sweaters in cold weather!

What I wore to the performance tonight. It was freezing!

Underneath the coat. I got the dress and tights from my cousin. I love when she gets rid of clothes. It feels like Christmas!

Sometimes I fear that this top looks like leopard print, but otherwise I find it rather artsy.

I wore this on Valentines Day/Chinese New Year. I found this outfit to be a way to wear red for Valentines day without looking like I was dressing FOR Valentines Day and also a way to wear red for Chinese New Year without looking really Asian.

I've been really getting into this neutral oatmeal color lately.

I love this red sweater! I got it at Salvation Army for $1 and its handmade! It made me sad seeing it sit on the rack thinking that a grandma probably made it for and undeserving granddaughter, so I gave it a good home. I've also always had a thing for Sorels. It doesn't snow here, but I still insist on wearing them. They aren't real either. They're little kids boots from Target!

Oh and I did my aunt's hair for an event! I'm actually pretty proud of my work considering I have no training at all! A lot of people offer their hair to me to test out my cutting skills, but I don't understand why. I don't know what I'm doing!!!

As all the new-years-resolutioners sit on all the machines at my gym and make it impossible to work out, it IS a new year and time to improve our lives one resolution at a time. This year, mine was simply to be happy. I have an awful habit of getting bogged down in school. Straight A's do not bring happiness by themselves. As a business student, I think that what I am learning is valid but it's hard to not do anything that I'm actually passionate about. So, as part of my resolution, I'd really like to start blogging again =)

So to start, I went through my phone and took out a bunch of pictures that I meant to post forever ago...here we go!

So I figured out this really cool thing! I've had side swept bangs for a long time now but I naturally have a cowlick where my split is so my bangs would never lay flat on my forehead and would often times not even look like bangs! In order to solve this problem, I decided to flip my bangs to the other side instead and this picture shows the first day I did it. Aha! It totally worked! My bangs actually look like bangs now! I'll admit that the first week or two is pretty horrible and my bangs were always in my eyes and needed a lot of hairspray to stay in place, but now they're perfect! Solved.

I kind of felt like a little kid on this day. I really like those shoes, though. They are completely vegan shoes made by Keep. I love how they're plaid. Oh, and a yellow bow tops it off!

This shirt makes me think of candy and I thought the belt was clever, even though all I did was tie it with a rubber band. haha. I was also told that I look like my mom in it =/

I thought I'd throw this in because I saw it at the car show and its beautiful and I'd love to drive one of these one day! (I wish!)
