Hello!
It's been really fun seeing what other bloggers have on their wishlists this year for Christmas, so I decided to post my own. My greatest wish is for my applications to be magically finished and submitted though. I can't believe Christmas is approaching so quickly! All the holidays just seem to be creeping up on me this year. With finals this week and Winter Camp at work starting next week, I just know that Christmas will be over as quickly as it came. My family isn't too big on holidays. We just eat and relax. We never had the traditional Christmas tree with presents underneath, but I'm kind of thankful for it this year because I know I just don't have time to find presents and wrap them all anyway. I already gave my dad a sweater that he's been wearing a lot. Just like with my birthday, all I really want for Christmas is good food and good company. I have a work holiday potluck today and a couple friend gatherings soon. That's all I really need :) It was actually pretty tough putting this wishlist together, which is weird because usually my wishlist is overflowing with stuff-to-stalk-until-they-go-on-sale.

Until next post,

Hello!
Merry Christmas Eve Eve everyone! I know my wish list is incredibly late, but I wanted to make one anyway! Can you tell how much time I spend oggling over at UO's website?! I can't believe it's Christmas tomorrow! With all the rain we've been having, I'm really craving some crazy hats (inspired by Jen's owl hat of course) and/or a knit turban to try out. Hopefully I can get in a holiday-inspired outfit post before Christmas ends because when else is the best time to sport my favorite color to wear (red)?

Until next post,
Jasmine

Post-Laundry Day

After over a week, I finally got around to doing laundry. I'm usually on top of my weekly laundry, mostly because I miss my go-to striped tops too much to be apart from them for too long. Despite having my full range of striped tops to choose from, I couldn't come up with a post-worthy outfit today...It's just one of those days I guess. Oh, how I wish I could be as creative as Erin on her laundry days!

I haven't window-shopped online in a while, but after writing down a list of things (aka 5 essays) to do over the next couple of weeks, nothing sounded better to have mini-adrenaline rushes when anything striped or anything with a bow on it scrolled into view.

I don't know what it is about Urban Outfitters that pushes away all reason and allows myself to pay too much for simple items--everything's just so...pretty! I've been on their website for about an hour now, and it has definitely satisfied my inner adrenaline-junkie. I'm completely smitten with their spring clothes. When I saw there was a "Nautical" category on Urban Outfitter's website, I couldn't resist clicking on it! Ah! I'm seriously drooling over that anchor ring! The rest of their new items have made me even more anxious for spring! Oh how I wish I could afford those $79 heart biker shorts...

I think my spring must-haves are the same pretty much every year: florals, and soft pastels mixed in with my usual year-long obsessions of stripes and bows.

Winter quarter is winding down over the next couple of weeks, so I apologize ahead of time if I ever go on a random hiatus. I can't believe it's already eighth week! For those of you who don't know, the quarter system goes by 10-week instruction periods, followed by a week of final exams. It goes by incredibly quickly, which is good for those disgusting required classes.

I also apologize for the malfunctioning of pictures in my previous posts. I've had the same Photobucket account for six years, and this is the first time I've exceeded the bandwith. It took me three tries to re-upload all the pictures from my New York post because my Firefox kept crashing, so...either I'll find some time (and patience) to fix the other posts or just wait until this month is over so my bandwith resets.

Until next post,
Jasmine
