five gems

{ asos hush color blocked bow platform in nude and silver }

{ winter crisp nail colors in revlon's minted, blue lagoon, and revlon red }

{ my baby christmas tree with jingle bells and pine cone embellishments }

{ antique ice skates as holiday mailbox decorations }{ forgive the song - but, this guy is the epitome of christmas cheer }
well, i survived finals week once again. i can't believe there's only one more semester to make it through before i have to pretend i know what i'm doing. but, i know i'll never stop being a kid, so i'm not too worried about becoming a cross business lady. i could never. i've been remembering how important it is to take a break and grab a beer with friends. i've been saying goodbye in the early morning hours to a california-bound girl, planning to assemble a gingerbread house, and thoroughly enjoying the comfort of my own home away from the madness outside. i've been running miles away from home to get caught in the rain, i've been searching for stray puppies, and i even had a ridiculous staring contest with a five-year-old. i won. this weekend brings new beginnings, throwback shows, and free drinks. and after this weekend brings holiday cheer and family. there's a reason i love this time of year so much. there's hope in bountiful amounts, and there's peppermint joy on the tip of every tongue.
