i broke one of my own rules today (and a few current obsessions).

top: f21 / belt: f21 / jeans: aeropostle / necklace: peter's path

boots: madison / nailpolish: OPI william tell me about / watch: fossil

i'm one of those weird folks (don't hate me) that dislikes black with brown - unless it's the correct shade of black and brown. like today, the brown belt worked better with the black top than the black belt i had. there. i said. it's out in the open. 

moving along...so i've pretty much been on vacation for over a week now, so my regular current obsessions wednesdays has been a little off. (so i guess that is the 2nd rule i've broken for myself - i will get it off and running as soon as life is back to normal again). though this is not as elaborate a list as my usual obsessions post, here are a few that have been nudging at me.

however, you do know i've been obsessing over the hunger games for the past two weeks. during the winter storm last week, i inhaled the second book, catching fire and during a wal-mart run (the only store open that week - gah), i bought mockingjay 'cause of course i HAD to find out what happened to my Peeta (yes, yes i am team Peeta). i'm almost done and my heart is currently breaking. that's all i will say.

ever since lauren mentioned this book on her blog, i added it to my list of must-reads. it actually trumped a few others on that list because the plot totally intrigued me. i mean, come on: a mix of twilight and hunger games. hellooooooo! of course, it trumped.

and alas, the other day while ryan had to run some errands i asked him to drop me off at kohl's. we don't have one where i live so anytime i visit him, i try to stop by here ('cause i'm in love with the lauren conrad and the simply vera collections. gag me.) well, these babies caught my eye - and i'm still debating in my mind if i'm going to make a run back to kohl's before the road tip home today. i tried them on and they were so comfy (they really were!) - and i think they'd be fun with a pair of jeans or even a floral dress to contrast them.

what are you obsessing over this week, friend?

also have you broken any rules lately?

and today i head back home to family. i've missed them. i've missed pey-pey too. it's been forever since i've seen that dog. oh, and ryan's coming with me to visit, so we don't have to say bye yet. (yipee!!) i might have to teach him how to play just dance 2 now won't i? 

much love.

[happy wednesday, friend.]
