Sketch #1
Listened to this while sketching my very first sketch for my Drawing Class! It's just a still life of some fruits and a cup. Although I took art in high school, I never took it as serious art lessons. So I'm really excited to take a college level course to improve my skills!
'Till Later!

A Shopping List
Plain Cotton Long Sleeve T-Shirts
I've just realized I have no sleeved t-shirts, only sweaters. Which is just insane, considering it's clearly a staple especially during winter.
Forest Green Chunky Loop Scarf
Another staple for winter. I've seen plain black, grey, and white loop scarves but I want a subtle color pop, hence the forest green.
Cashmere Brown Scarf
For when I want something simpler. I never thought I would like the color brown for a scarf, but since the boyfriend lent me his, I realized i really like how it brings out the brown in my dark brown, almost black, hair. I'd have to shop for this only if the boyfriend doesn't realize it's missing! So hopefully I get to keep his. Hehe.
Medium-Wash Denim Button-Up Shirt
Denim made a comeback a year or two back and I was unsure whether I liked the idea of a denim shirt. However, I couldn't doubt the chic casualness it gives to an outfit.
High-Rise Medium-Wash Denim Shorts
A little unrealistic for winter but I have been on the search for this type of shorts since summer now.
Black Leather Jacket
Something to transform any outfit into BADASS.
White Jeans/Jeggings
Another item I have been searching for since the summer. I think white looks so gorgeous against bronzed skin.
Nude Patent Flats
I love the color nude. Instead of wearing black flats, it would be a cute touch if they were nude. Plus they still would match any outfit!
Faux Leather Skinny Pants
I just think it's sexy with a casual plain t-shirt.
Suede Black Wedge Booties
And of course you need these to go with the outfit mentioned above!
Small Black Patent Chain Crossbody Bag
Did I mention I like shiny? Hence the patent! I already have a cream crossbody bag, but it's a little to wide for my liking. A smaller black one would be much better.
Leather Black Riding Boots
I already have a pair that I love. Maybe love a little too much because they're looking a little worse for wear. So I'm seeking a replacement.
Brown Leather Handbag
For when I'm not too lazy to carry something.
DKNY Eau de Parfum Spray
I've wanted to get this for a while now, but never had the chance. It's got a great citrus, clean, and chic smell that I love.
YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick in Exquisite Plum
I prefer a dark plum than a red lipstick, considering I just don't think I can pull off a red lip. However I do love a gorgeous purple. This dark, vampy color is perfect for winter.
Red Tight High-Rise Shorts
And now finally, the ever elusive shorts that I have been searching for in stores and online everywhere since I watched the UK TV show Nearly Famous and the spectacularly dressed Kate was donning a pair the first episode. I have yet to find the ideal red shorts but I will definitely keep looking! I mean, do you see how fabulous it looks?!

Hope everyone had a happy holiday! As for me a smile has been on my face ever since I got home. I've been pretty busy lately mostly spending as much time as I can with family, friends, and the boyfriend! It's been absolute bliss and I'm dreading the fact that I only have about a week and a half before I have to go back to college.
Anyway the song above is a new discovery! One of my best friends, Nina showed it to me. We both have the exact same taste in music and whenever we hang out we make sure to trade new music. I hung out with her and Demi, another best friend, last night. We had dinner at a sushi place and chilled out at my house afterwards. It was so much fun being with them again, i couldn't stop laughing the entire night.
Monday was a blast too. The boyfriend and I went ice-skating at Bryant Park. He hasn't been since he was small, but he was a complete natural! I was able to semi keep up with him thankfully. I finally remembered how to skate properly again! What a miracle! After skating we got some yummy hot-dogs (nacho for him chili-cheese for me) to regain energy from the vendors around Bryant Park and for dessert we shared a banana, strawberry, nutella crepe which I will make sure to always get whenever I visit the park. It's that amazing!
As for the Christmas and New Years, it was spent with close friends and family! During Christmas day it was just the family and I. It was spent unwrapping presents and making delicious food, including cornbread! Something that my mother, brother, and I have tried to make before but it never turned out right. This time, though, it was delicious! Later on that night my mom's friends came over to sing carols! It was really sweet and kind of amusing, I admit. After Christmas I got to exchange Christmas presents with the boyfriend! It was our first Christmas together and the first time I was giving him an official present so I was really nervous he wouldn't like what I got him. I bought him a travel book and placed little notes in them. We both love to travel so I thought it was a sound gift. Turns out he loved it, and he can't wait for us to go to all the places together :)
For New Year's we all went over to Queens, NY like we do ever year for a party. I got to see, who I consider my "cousins," Geneve and Katherine. It was nice seeing them again because I haven't since Halloween. We all catched up and took pictures, cooed over all the adorable babies in the house, and enjoyed each others' company.
All in all, my holidays were wonderful! Hope yours' were too!!!
