Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I had a really good one, aside from the fact I was 1,360 miles exactly away from my family, I was invited to Tegan's family dinner and it was sooooo lovely! They were so much fun to be around and very welcoming. Well it just isnt Thanksgiving with out my moms famous deviled eggs. I had her send me the family ingredients, and I made them for dinner. Lets just say they were a huge success and tasted just like my moms!

I made 18 eggs, and had to shell them... I was up till 1:30 making these.

When I asked my mom how much mustard with horseradish I put in there, she literally told me to make a happy face.

I had just enough stuff to fill all the eggs!

Then you have to top it off with paprika!

My eggs were so great! Momma you would be so proud I really wish you couldve tasted them. Everyone liked them at dinner as well. The best part is I still had 13 left over!!! So Ive been snacking on them. Thanksgiving dinner was so delishious, and the company was great. We drank much wine and played fun games. I also got to see some slides of Tegan's grammy when she was a young lady, photos from 60's, the clothing was so pretty. I was so glad to be around a family and not just a bunch of 20 years olds getting together. I like family traditions and things like that. Well mom, you taught me well.

Oh course I had two before it was even Thanksgiving haha.

(Ps. dont you just love my kitchen, its very fun to hang out in)

Well I hope everyone else had a great holiday and now lets bring on all the Christmas music!!!Xoxo!

The 32 hours t-shirt.

I really love my job, I see clothes all day. Its nice because I dont have a lot of clothing and I can get some stuff from work for cheap. A customer ended up bringing us a drop off and with that she has to donate the clothing we dont take. Well I went through her stuff and ended up taking a few things, but at the bottom of her back was this just simple big black t-shirt. I ended up taking it but made it cheap. I bought it that night, ended up wearing it when I got home to lounge around in, and just ended up sleeping in it that night. Well... when I got up I didnt give myself enough time to really get dressed and eat something before I left for work... SO I just threw on some tights and my waist cincher! Basically, I got complimented a lot on my outfit for the day haha.

Ive noticed when I take photos I always forgot to get the entire outfit. That includes jacket, scarf and purse. The purse, it s real Coach bag I found at a good will up here (the one in Somerville) I paid $5 for it. That jacket, I got it at Forever21 a few months ago on sale, its been a major success. So my mom ended up sending me my waist cincher, smart thinkin on her part, because it really can make an outfit ten times more awesome. I took a plain old t-shirt and make it a sweet dress.

Ive been trying to dress a bit nicer for work instead of black jeans and a button down. This was a good day for me. Work has been going really well, so many good things and Ive been impressing my managers so much! Looks like Ill be staying in Boston for sure. I was giving myself a 6 months grace period, but things are going so well for me that Im defiantly staying. I love it here a lot and am accomplishing so much! Tegan ( my roommate) and I have been doing a lot of fun arts and craft stuff lately! (pics to come) Today was Black Friday, and working retail that usually means a really shitty day... Well work ended up being kinda slow, but we still sold a lot of stuff! I even helped and bought this vintage coat Ive been wanting for a while now. (pics of that soon too) I hope everyone is doing just as good!! Xoxo my lovely readers.

All dressed up and no work.

So Ive been working a lot lately, if you didnt know haha. I was scheduled to work Friday at our Charles St. location and when I got there I was told I wasnt needed so I didnt end up working Friday which was AWESOME! I even got paid that day so I went to the Goodwill in Central square and the art supply store. Well since I was orginally working at a nice fancier store, I decided to kind of dress nice for work. Mind you Im still limited to what I can wear, but I think this outfit came together nicely. Its a sweet top too I bought before I left for Boston at goodwill in Tampa.

I realize its all black, which I get stuck in wearing especially when it gets cold and its practically grey every day. I try not to wear all black but its so hard sometimes. I just like the way it looks and it suits the city well. Over time Ill acquire more clothing, I mean I work at a clothing store haha.
Photobucket

All the rings I wore to work haha. Its getting hard to wear rings though because my hands are colder and I have to wear gloves most of the time. So Ive been putting my rings in my purse and putting them on when I get to work or where ever Im at.
Photobucket

All in all its been good! I opened and closed tonight at work on my own and did such a good job!!! The drawer wasnt over or under! We got so much done today, all consignment appointments and the drop offs! Im doing really great at work. Im doing great socially as well. I keep meeting the best people and having such a good time. Also, living in Jamaica Plain has been AWESOME! Ive got to hang out at the tattoo shop a lot lately and that makes me feel so good. Its been cool getting to hang with Lucky again and now with Alex, Becky and James (Sassy) Its like a piece of home in my new home. Well I hope everyone else is doing just as good. Have a great week everyone!! Xoxoxoxo!

Black and Grey Owl

On one of the many grey days we have here in Boston, the lighting was some what nice for a low key photo shoot. I decided to wear something nice to work, instead of the same black jeans and button down. Since I dont have a hair dryer up here, I just havent bought one yet, my hair hasnt been lookin top notch lately. Ive been wearing hats a lot the last few weeks and this was just a nice outfit to wear for work.

It sucks not having all my clothes! I make do tho. Its kind of nice getting to layer thing up here. I get to wear more scarfs, sweaters with jackets, hats and gloves. I thought this was funny tho. Ive been living out of my suitcase, even with my mom sending me some stuff I have no dresser to put anything in lol. I am literally sitting in all my clothes.

Speaking of work, I work a lot! I have a lot of work coming up especially with Thanksgiving coming up next week. Lots of work means a nice paycheck. My friend Ed-E is in town and Angelo is coming up in December, so Im trying to save up a few $$ to get tattooed, defiantly trying to have my sleeve worked on, because who knows when Ill make it back to Tampa in time and have money then to get my arm worked on. I feel like Ive had tattoos on the mind a lot lately, which isnt a bad thing, except I dont live back home where I could easily get tattooed. Hopefully with time Ill acquire more clothing to mix into my wardrobe. Anyways, hope everyone else is doing good! Im meeting up with a new friend tonight for drinks, crossing my fingers it goes well.

Back after Ive finally found my camera cord.

HELLO!!! I am beyond sorry for the lack of posting. I have been beyond busy since moving to Boston and working 40 hours practically. I finally moved into my new apartment in Jamaica Plain, but I also lost my camera cord for the last 2 weeks. Needless to say a lot has happened. I would love it if all my lovely readers still love me and still continue to check this out.

So I went to Providence recently on one of my days off. Went to visit a friend of mine. When we got there we ended up going to a park and walking in the back woods and drinking. It was pretty nice. The weather was low key and cool. I decided to sneak off at one point and found a tree I could put my camera on and take a few photos. The place I was, was really pretty.

Photobucket

Now I realize it isnt the most stylish outfit, but its defiantly one of my favorites, I had my mom send me my Floor shirt in my first package. Also, I dont have a lot of my clothing so outifts are limiting.

It really is obvious Im not in Florida anymore. The fall here has been so interesting and all the colors are so vibrant. This was a nice trip and break away from being in the city.

I love how its so easy to get to some places by the train. A train ride to Providence is like 45 minutes. Its always nice to pop over some where else and hang out with friends. I have been up to so man fun projects. I have finally settled in and am living in Jamaica Plain. Since I finally have my own space and fun roommates I can do more things and have time to myself as well. Its been really nice but very busy. I am really enjoying things up here.

I hope everyone has been doing great! Whats new in fashion for you?!?
Xoxo!
