Christmas is coming - only 6 days away! 
I've compiled some of my favorite things from Modcloth for stocking stuffers - most of these gifts are under $20! 
As you can see, there are many coastal-theme (read: anchors and lighthouses, my favorites) items as well as flasks/drinking items, which I know my friends would love! 

What are you hoping to find in your stocking this Christmas?

An extremely belated {Halloween Costume} post!

This year, I decided to dress up as my favorite Disney character - Minnie Mouse! 

It was a relatively cheap costume because I already had all of the accessories; I found the dress and knew I could throw together my costume in a snap. 

Where to buy:

Dress - Forever 21, $14.80

Shoes, Modcloth - similar: Cube Your Enthusiasm Heel in Mustard - $69.99
Minnie Ears, Disneyland
Pearls, inherited

This was a simple but fun costume to put together that everyone loved! Especially me:

Hope everyone had a fun Halloween! 
Tell me what you dressed up as in the comments.

Outfit Idea: {Bonfire}

Beach Bonfire

Anchor top / Long sleeve sweater / White racerback tank top / Striped racerback tank / LC Lauren Conrad bootcut jeans / LC Lauren Conrad skinny jeans / LC Lauren Conrad low rise jeans / LC Lauren Conrad boot cut jeans / Flojos oxford shoes / Blue beaded jewelry / Charm necklace, $32 / Nordstrom black hat / Passigatti beanie hat, $41

Tonight, I'm going to my first beach bonfire since moving to Santa Cruz last summer! I can't believe I haven't had a bonfire yet but I'm hoping tonight's goes well! It's going to be a pretty small group but I'm still very excited! I'm about to curl my hair (it holds! Even with wind! Amazing!) and then pick out a cute but (hopefully) warm outfit for tonight! 

Then it's time for firewood and s'mores!

{Valentine's Day} LOVE

For a romantic or fun evening out!

Happy Valentine's Day! 

I hope that you are enjoying this day with people you love - a significant other, friends or family - and enjoy your Friday and the three-day-weekend ahead! Above is a photo of a dress I found that I would absolutely love to be wearing this Valentine's Day - it's so cute and festive, (buy it here: Poppy In for a Visit Dress from ModCloth) and would be perfect again in the summer -  but I already bought the cutest shirt!

Here's the shirt: 

It's from Target! So cute, right?

I'm a bit owl-obsessed so this shirt was perfect!

I had a wonderful day at work, and I was more spoiled today than I was at Christmas! It left me feeling very loved (and sugar-filled, but in a really good way). I even received a red rose from one of my students! Cutest thing ever.

Happy Valentine's Day, everybody!

xoxo
