Even though I am wearing nothing from Free People, this feels pretty Free People, no?

I waited seriously FOREVER for these boots to go on sale, so when I saw them on clearance at Nordstrom, with only my size left...it felt like fate.  It feels less special now that they are on 6 PM (link above) for almost as cheap, but still. 

Leather Jacket Twins

On Mal: Zara leather jacket and Crossover Necklace Dress (on sale!), Rebecca Minkoff Flats via Nordstrom Rack, Anna Dello Russo x H&M Alligator Necklace, Vintage bag (another hand-me-down from bf's mom!)

On Whit: H&M fashion icons leather moto jacket, Asos cropped turtleneck top, thrifted skirt (got it for $3!), Old Navy necklace, Phillip Lim for Target purse, c/o Dailylook flats

Doing what we do best: cheesing in matching outfits.  Since we were hanging our jackets off our shoulders, Whit accidentally grabbed Mal's "arm," which was actually the sleeve of her jacket.  We thought it would be funny to repeat the moment, which explains the 4th photo.  

Camel

On Whit: Gap camel crew neck sweater, F21 grid button-up, AG white stilt skinnies, Karen Walker Super Duper Strength sunnies, Madewell loafers via Buffalo Exchange, Zara purse

Can't believe another week has passed already!  I've just been working toward some of my new year's resolutions.  Surprisingly I've kept up with my work out plan (for one whole week, yay!).  Seriously considering training for a 5K now, but we'll see..

My boyfriend's mom is an avid collector of bags.  A couple weeks ago when we visited, she insisted that I take a couple of her old bags that she never wears.  This Louis Vuitton has to be the nicest hand-me-down anyone has ever received...as a bargain shopper, this bag probably costs the same as my entire closet! 

Mosaic Stairs

On Mal: Zara leather jacket, c/o Ross mesh sleeve sports tee, Forever 21 leopard skinnies (similar), Windsor Store lace up heels (crazy cheap...love these too!)

On Whit: c/o Choies woolen padded bomber jacket, Zara sweater dress and flats (both old), H&M spine necklace, clutch from Thailand

Whitney giving directions to the mosaic stairs while Mal drives:

"You can't turn left so make a u-turn"

"What, a u-turn where?"

"You missed it, you were supposed to turn right. I meant right and then u-turn."

Our favorite thing about black and white is that whether it's dressed up or down, it's always chic.

2014

On Whit: vintage sequin sweater via Wasteland, F21 chambray button-up. J. Crew skirt (on sale for $15 in stores!), BCBG Max Azria metallic oxfords (got them on Black Friday, but similar here), Michael Kors Chronograph Runway Watch, Coach crossbody purse

Happy 2014 everyone!  Since Mal did a holiday look, I thought it would be fun to do one too.  I know I'm a little late, but hey, if you're like Mal and me, holiday looks are welcome 365 days a year.

2013 was not the easiest year for me, but hopefully the new year will ring in better memories.  Here are a few of my resolutions:

1. Drink more water.

2.  Shop less.  The holidays made a dent in my wallet, so I need to avoid shopping malls for a while.

3.  Work out, more specifically do Blogilates.  I got a yoga mat for Christmas and Cassey is so funny! Victoria Secret Angel arms here I come..

4.  Work on my posture.  I hunch too much!  This TED talk really inspired me.  I'm gonna fake it until I become it!

5.  Blog more with Mal :)
