The rain keeps coming

I could use a pair of these. This non-stop rain for 5 days straight is too much for me! I do not know how people get any errands done in this weather? On the bright side the weather has really helped me to slow down & actually stay home & relax {I am a busy body & NEVER stop going all day every day} so I am grateful for this opportunity.

Rugby {Ralph Lauren}

Over the weekend I discovered the Rugby collection by Ralph Lauren. I like the classic look & heavy fabrics used through out the line. I picked up a thick flannel shirt {after finding a vintage ralph lauren flannel years ago at a thrift shop I have been on the hunt for another one} the quality of their pieces is what drew me in.  They get better {softer & softer over time}.  It looks like many items are on sale on their site right now!

Whenever I travel abroad I am always drawn to the unique handmade & hand beaded jewelry. So naturally I was drawn to these bright colors at the check out counter of forever 21.

Layering Sweaters {forever 21}

More often than not I find myself shopping {for work related purposes} which gives me the opportunity to stumble upon good deals. Today I spotted these layering sweaters at Forever 21 for a great price as part of their Yellow Tag Deals. They are super soft & perfect for the chilly weather!

The inconsistent weather here makes it difficult to dress each day... I never know if its going to be 42 degrees or 82 degrees! These are perfect the chilly temperatures outside & inside my igloo of an office. Love the pattern!

Stocking Stuffer {lavanila}

Since we have been experiencing some warm weather temperatures these past few days I found this item to be perfect timing. Lavanila has many wonderful smelling products & they are free from many harsh chemicals. I hope Santa drops one of these in my stocking!

83 degrees!

Snapped a quick photo after returning home from running Christmas errands & eating In n Out {my favorite gluten free burger joint}. We sat outside in the sun eating & sweating, it sure felt great. I am in awe of the warm sun, it has been too long since I have felt the UV rays soak my pale skin.
