Black and Gold

black and gold mary janes- gift from anthropologie

I've been in search for a pair of dressy flats for such a long time, and I'm so happy to have added these to my small collection. Quite the unexpected gift from the parents:) 

Comfort excluded, one of my favorite pairs of shoes now. 

What should I wear these lovelies with? 

Merry the night

just a peek into my first week of winter break...

gorgeous star lanterns from an antique shop in the mission. definitely on my wishlist (of things to treat myself with one day haha). random brick wall with lights from tumblr. pretty little ornaments recently purchased from pier1 imports:) 

Uncharted: 

Sara Bareilles 

words cannot describe how amazing an experience this concert was... 

Winter Inspiration Board: 

1- simple glitter french manicure 

2- snowflake ornament also from Pier1 

3- lovely new find camillestyles

4- old time favorite cherryblossomgirl

5- tumblr

First of all, Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!

This post turned out to be more similar to a previous post (December Inspiration Board) than I had intended... Ah well. Who doesn't love a little extra glitz during the holidays? I've really been enjoying reading everyone's holiday posts, so its hard not to feel inspired during this time.

I truly hope you all have a wonderful winter break and
New Years! Here's to another year of spontaneous ideas, new experiences, and uncontrollable laughter. Well that was really vague... but where would we be without these  things? :) 

life in technicolor

 Kate Spade,  New York 

-All images were found on Kate Spade tumblr-

 Literally had to force myself to stop pulling photos off their page...

Check out their tumblr and blog  for bright, colorful, and festive inspiration!
Lot's of fun, modern images as well as mod & retro photos. 

& don't you just love the quote? I'm sure we could all use that little reminder sometimes:)

Look out for these upcoming posts:

Sara Bareilles concert, fuschia platforms, sf street inspiration, winter break photo diary, and other spontaneous ideas! Original content will be back as soon as finals are over.

December is an inspiring month- the lights, the colors, the celebration... Friends returning home, visiting family, creating wish lists, unique wrapping paper, peppermint bark, exchanging useless but perfect secret santas, hot cocoa and burning tongues, skating, skiing, granny sweaters, plaid blankets, pink noses, ornament hunting, old films, reading by the fire, wishing for butterbeer, christmas music (well I've been listening to that since before Halloween), icicles, frosty windows, furry caps, peacoats with too many pockets... so many things to look forward to. 
I've got two weeks left of school (final exams) to get through, but in between I've got a very special concert to attend- Sara Bareilles anyone? So excited:) Good luck to everyone with finals these next few weeks& Happy December!
