Navy and Black.

 

Turtle-neck: American Apparel, Skirt: American Apparel, Tights: Wal-Mart, Boots: Hunter

I love this turtle-neck so much, and I got it for $4 at AmericanApparel.com just so I wouldn't have to pay shipping (I try to always find a way to not pay shipping). I went browsing in their "cheap" section and found it and thought I would give it a try! I mean, would you rather pay $4 and have a turtle-neck you may or may not wear, or pay $7 in shipping?.....Exactly. And luckily I ended up loving it! Even Jacob loves it!

And my Crystal June brought me this umbrella! Isn't it adorable!?

Petit Jean Mountain.

 

Jacob and I spent the past few days at his parents cabin up on Petit Jean Mountain. It was so much fun! I love being able to spend time with Jacob without anything to worry about or anything to do, it's so nice!

The first whole day we were there we went hiking down down to Cedar Falls to see the beautiful water-fall pictured above. It was extremely cold and we got wet from being so close but it was worth it! The next day we went hiking on the trail with the Turtle Rocks (don't they look just like turtles!?) and then we went hiked to the "cave" where there are Indian paintings, very cool!

The follwing day we were planning on going horse-back riding but we got snowed in! Ah! Wouldn't have been bad at all if we had bought some food....but we hadn't! Luckily Jacob's dad came to the rescue and brought us some pizza! (It's tough roughing it, let me tell ya).

It was an amazing week with the man that I love, we got to hike, enjoy sunset dinners, and sunsets on the side of the mountain. We got to talk, relax, sleep-in, play, dance, and drink lots of hot chocolate.

 It was also a lot of fun to watch Jacob building a fire....haha, men and their fires!

I love that guy.

Christmas Sweater.

 

Sweater: Abercrombie and Fitch, Shorts: Abercrombie and Fitch, Tights: Target, Boots: Hunter, Denim shirt: J. Crew

So this is Reindeer (or are those moose?) sweater #2. If you follow me on Instagram (tinysailor) you have seen Reindeer sweater #1....but if you don't you will see it soon enough when I do a my life through Instagram post again! Anyways, I am a sucker for them...aren't they adorable!?

I struggled styling this one because it is cropped and looks super awkward with almost anything. But I have been able to wear it twice in different ways (as shown above!) and I really like these outfits. :)

Christmas time has been wonderful so far. Jacob took me to see the Nutcracker ballet last night, and it was so magical. I was in awe of the beautiful dancers. We are definitely going to go to more ballets now! Also we did our Christmas early and he got me some amazing things! (Will share soon!) 

I have to work tomorrow....bummer. And then we are headed to see my family. I miss them so much and I can't wait to spend Christmas with them!

....and Jacob bought us mistletoe and hung it in our apartment, super cute. I had to take that opportunity and take a mistletoe picture! :)

Plaid and Polka-dots.

 

Sweater: Forever 21, Shirt: Abercrombie and Fitch, Necklace: Forever 21, Pants: Abercrombie and Fitch, also not pictured...worn with Hunter rain boots!

I'm loving mixing unexpected prints together these days. What's better than polka-dots with plaid? Not much!

Exploring.

   

Sweater: Abercrombie and Fitch, Shorts: Abercrombie and Fitch, Rain-Boots: Hunter

On Jacob: Shirt and Shorts: Abercrombie and Fitch, Sweater: Thrifted (Polo)

So I'm pretty much obsessed with my Hunter rain-boots, I want some more...possibly the bright green ones or the orange ones!

Jacob and I ran errands today, explored down by the creek (and took some pictures, while sliding all over the slippery rocks). 

 And tonight, Jacob is cooking me dinner, then we are carving pumpkins, and then....watching Casper! (Can you believe that Jacob has never seen it? Crazy!!) 

We are in Halloween Mode!
