rambling..

In personal news, this is my first post from my new Macbook Pro! I am so happy to be part of the technologically advanced population. I feel so chic and high-tech!

Anywho...

Today was a sad day for me. First of all, I had to come back to College Station early in preparation for finals. How depressing! But more importantly, the time came for me to put away my spring/summer clothes and break out the winter wear. Unfortunately there is no autumn weather here in CStat, only blazing hot or freezing cold, so there isn't really a place for my 14 cardigans or adorable 3/4 length sweaters. (single tear)

I generally never classify my clothes in seasons, but today I realized, it is the true mark of a stylish person to accept the task of putting away cotton sundresses and coral-colored knee-length skirts when the weather gets cold.

Also, I'm etsy obsessed!

Since last year, my family has been practicing a gift-giving habit called "wabi-sabi," which basically means shop local, buy recycled items, repurpose old things, make what you can by hand, and be kind to the earth while you do all of it! I really love Etsy because it helps me fulfill a few of those goals and buy something more meaningful than a gift card or something bought from a chain store. Many thanks to Pinterest as well for all the DIY inspiration. I'd post pictures of what I've bought but it would give away several Christmas gifts for my loved ones! We don't want that now do we?

I DID buy this laptop case though. SO CUTE!
