Petite Panoply

Happy Monday everyone and happy winter break to me! Everyone is making Christmas wishlists, so I had to jump on the bandwagon. Oddly, mine is not filled with clothes this year. Though I wouldn't be unhappy with more clothes... Anyway, here it is. 1. A Burr Coffee Grinder  (like this Cuisinart burr grinder that's on sale)- because I've been enjoying making French presses lately and the more uniform grind would be better for that. 2. Urban Decay Double Ended 24/7 Eye Pencil 3. An External Flash  - because sometimes you have to use flash and the on-board one just is not good enough. (Matt bought me this compact Sunpak flash , but I haven't opened it yet!) 4. Basic Flat Black Boots  (like these boots from Urban Outfitters ) 5. Scarves (like this pretty yellow Cider House Infinity Scarf )- particularly ones in solid colors or leopard print that aren't too warm because it doesn't get that cold here. 6. The Jo Totes Gracie Bag in Buttersc...

Isn't it great that I get to take pictures of Jeanie's outfits and post them on here every once in a while? It sure helps to take two sets of outfit pictures in one day. Especially when I have a week like this one where I hardly got dressed or left the apartment because I had so much school crap to do. So hooray for Jeanie for being a good sport and letting me steal her outfits for the blog. top: forever 21 | boots: urban outfitters | jeans: ? forever 21 ? It's nice to have her outfits on here too because, even though we have a similar style, hers is a little different. She usually dresses more casually than I do and wears more toned-down colors. She has about a billion gigantic sweaters too, which I just can't rock the same way.  In other news, I finished up my last final paper of my first semester of graduate school. After 57 pages combined, I'm about done writing things. There's just one more exam to go until freedom for almost a ...

Since I posted my outfit for the holiday gift exchange yesterday, I figured it was appropriate to post my sister's outfit today! George is looming in these pictures too. He makes pictures so much cuter though, so I won't complain. dress: modcloth.com boots: urban outfitters belt: thrifted I don't think I would've picked out this Modcloth dress if I'd just seen it online, but Jeanie did and I really like it. It's a unique greenish neutral and the lace is really pretty. I enjoy the owl belt she paired with it too. Jeanie is pondering what gift she would end up with at the gift exchange. [It was Christmasopoly. We're going to play it one of these nights. Can you play Monopoly with two people?] It's been incredibly warm here for December. The high today is 71. Yes, 71 degrees. People are wearing shorts. At least, that's what I hear through the Facebook grapevine as I haven't left the house today. I like to place random lazy...

If you look at the date on this post, it will say it's Jeanie's 18th birthday. However, this is not her official birthday time post! (I'm sure she'll accept Happy Birthday greetings here though!) This would be her outfit from August 5th. We did some last minute going-back-to-college shopping as we'll be leaving for The University of Georgia on Sunday. Both of us! She's 18! (According to the date in this post.) This pose is now known as the "thunder thor thrust". dress: urban outfitters shoes: target belt: thrifted sunglasses: 5 below While out shopping, we got hungry and decided we needed to stop for McDonalds Happy Meals. They were pretty tasty and we all got smurf toys. I'm also pretty pumped about my tiny George Foreman grill I got today. I'll be making lots of tasty things in it, I'm sure. Stay tuned for a Jeanie birthday post tomorrow. I'm sure there'll be pictures of tasty cakes and...
