Survivor

Very sorry to have disappeared for about a week but felt like I was in death's clutches. I had a terrible kidney infection brought on by kidney stones, and needless to say I was very sick last week. I am back now!
Wow these last few weeks have been a whirlwind of craziness lately. School and work take up most of my days while I try to maintain a life with my friends (and oftentimes my dog).
Trying to wrap up chapter 3 of my thesis for grad school just in time for spring break! That would be lovely! So I can begin working on chapter 4 during my break.... Gotta love grad school!
On another note, here is today's outfit. I am clearly dreaming of sunnier and warmer weather! The rain is relentless lately down in South Texas.

Dress by Missguided, and Clinique red lips with a satchel by H&M. DON'T FORGET: it's Clinique bonus time at Dillard's! You can get all kinds of free goodies with just one simple purchase.
Can't wait for spring!

Leather and texture

Today on the blog, Leather and texture. I have a black biker leather jacket on, that is lighter than it looks and soft to the touch.  Underneath I have it pared with a collared mint green chiffon shirt from Forever 21. It's paired with a split skirt with a texture that you can actually see from H&M. It is comfortable, and it can go from day to night.

For the necklace it matches my red lipstick. I picked it up at a little arts and crafts fair, from a booth called Gemma's Gems.

You can pair with low pumps and wear it to work, or like me, a pair of edgy booties and go out for a night on the town.

Let's Eat

Sometimes in life we can all be so bogged down in our own thoughts, problems, or work that we forget to look around and remember that the world is big. 

I had such an experience today. I was so engrossed in my work both for my job and as a graduate student that I forgot to ask about  simple questions to others. 

True friends will forgive you. I was privileged enough to head over to Hester's for a delicious sammich. If you're in the Corpus Christi area you HAVE TO go there. It's not a tourist trap, but it is quaint. I will let you make up your own mind about it. 

This one is called the Texas Wave! You must try it. It definitely made up for my foot so fun days of late! 

New hairdo, hoodie Columbia, and natural lip from Clinique. 

Wearing my shades inside

I don't know about y'all (yes, I am southern), but when I am sick, under my eyes looks like I took a purple highlighter to it. When I am sick, wearing makeup is about the LAST thing I want to do! My eyes are watery, my nose is drippy, it's like being at a water park in the middle of January-- wet and unpleasant. 

So I decided to review my #Raybans, Wayfarer. I don't have the stereotypical aviators because my face is small and I can't pull them off (no matter how much I try to convince myself I can). If you have a small heart shaped face like I do, I recommend these plastic frames with a pop of color. Paired here with a #Clinique dark lip in A Different Grape.
