"The beating of your heart, baby."

If Marc Jacobs was straight, I would want to be marry him.  However, he's not.  But that's okay because I have such a huge obsession with all the things that he designs, that I don't know if I could carry over any obsession to Marc Jacobs himself.

I'm in love with the fun, whimsical quality Marc Jacobs brings to anything and everything he designs.  His stuff is just so unique, and you--or at least, I--can't help but be in a good mood when wearing anything Marc Jacobs.

I especially love Marc Jacobs' animal lines.  I have a pair of his owl earrings, a mouse necklace and hair tie (as seen above), and I am on the hunt for things from his bird collection ("Petal to the Metal") as well as a pair of his mouse flats that are relatively affordable.

Had another early dinner at Ruby Tuesday.  I love their fries and $5 drinks!

I am also in love with my new Jessica Simpson heels.  I snagged the only pair left of them to the disappointment of this other shopper.  Sometimes, it's like a war zone out there shopping!  I love the zebra print and the red heel makes me think of Christian Louboutin heels (that I unfortunately cannot afford).  They're also rather comfortable; I can last about 4 hours in them compared to my other Jessica Simpson heels.  I can only last about 15 minutes in the Salina style, but I try anyways because I love the snake print heels so much!  But as Victoria Beckam says about wearing heels (via this month's Glamour), "No pain, no gain." 

"I'll leave when the wind blows."

I attempted to get shots of Mount Hood and the sunrise while driving.  They didn't turn out too badly.  Aside from the windiness, it was a pretty nice night out.

I sported my new Zigi Soho boots that day which I fell in love with soon after.  They are fun, versatile, and comfortable!  Plus, they were also an amazing steal!  How much better can shoes get?!  Shoes like these are pretty hard to come by!

Givenchy earrings. Forever 21 ring. Marc by Marc Jacobs tote.

Yet another shopping day for me!  I am in love with this Free People dress!  It reminds me of the Roaring 20's, almost like a flapper dress; it's a really fun dress.  I paired it with my long sleeved black C & C California top (which I pair with almost anything I can get away with) for the still cold weather.  It's a dress that will definitely "show off your curvaceous curves" as they say in the description.  I bought a size larger than I normally wear so it's not too clingy.  Plus, with the adjustable straps, it's really not too bad.

With all the blossoming flowers, spring is definitely coming!  Then I'll won't have to use my C & C California top for so much layering!

"It's a beautiful day."

Seychelles boots. Marc Jacobs earrings. Forever 21 ring.







It was a great day!  The weather was really nice out.  We went out to Ruby Tuesday to eat, and then walked around the lake after.  My boots were starting to sink into the dirt, but I really wanted to be close to the ducks!

"The options and possibilities."

C & C California top.  Gap cami. Converse vest. True Religion jeans.
Dâ -Nang boots. Tarina Tarantino earrings. Forever 21 ring. Coach tote.






I love, and try to take advantage of, any nice days during the Pacific Northwest winter.  Any day with 0% chance of precipitation is bliss!  I took a risk and didn't wear a jacket, choosing a vest instead; it actually kept me pretty warm throughout the day.

I am obsessed with Tarina Tarantino's Pink Head line since I have a love for Hello Kitty!  The earrings are actually not as heavy as expected.

Also obsessed with my Dâ-Nang boots!  I definitely took advantage of the 0% chance of rain to don suede boots.  Dâ-Nang's shoe collection isn't very large so I am really lucky to have those boots!

"I'm gonna make it by any means."

William Rast boyfriend blazer.  Black C & C California shirt.   Joe's Jeans.
BCBG wedges. Nordstrom necklace. Tiffany earrings.  Coach tote. 

I've been pretty sick lately and I'm hoping my Rudolph nose isn't too noticeable.  It was my first big event as an event [planning] intern so I didn't want to miss it.  I tried to look as put together as possible to make up for my grogginess.

It was my first attempt at sporting a boyfriend blazer though.  Do you think I pulled it off okay?  I think I'm going to pair it with a dress or miniskirt next time.

I didn't get a close-up of my earrings but they're heart earrings from the "Return to Tiffany" collection which I absolutely love.  You can get items from the collection for as little as $50 so it's totally affordable!
