New Bling, Fall/Winter Wardrobe Craves, and Another Tag

Hello everyone! Sorry I've been kind of M.I.A. - school has been keeping me extremely busy with all of the essays, test, projects, etc. :(

Well, I went shopping a couple weekends ago and bought some new jewelry - a ring, a necklace, and a bracelet.

Love the necklace because it's very practical and can dress up any outfit.

The bracelet was just too cute to resist - it's actually one of the few braceletes I've tried on that actually look good on my skinny wrists (I did have to take off a few links, though).

And then this ring. Usually I'm not the most adventurous with big rings since, hence the small wrists, I also have skinny fingers. But the ring is actually not too overpowering and adds a very cute touch to an outfit.

I have already worn each piece with an outfit, and am also planning to do some outfit posts with them, so look forward to those. :)

And of course, as you all know, the cold and blustery days are approaching (or, in some cities, they are already here!), but in L.A. it is still warm and sunny - in fact, today it's going to be 84 degrees.

Anyway, I've already done some fall/winter wardrobe shopping, but there are also many things I'm still craving for:

-A gray, black, or cream colored sweater dress, possibly a turtleneck. I have a sweater dress, but it's in teal and I would like one in a classic color.

-Jet black jeans. I have jeans in black, but not black-black. They have some fading/whiskering, and I am really wanting jet black jeans! Today I am planning to go shopping for them.

-Some slouchy turtlenecks. I, actually, do not own a turtleneck - I am still trying to find the perfect cotton one that is plain and isn't too tight at the collar.

-Plain patent leather flats. I blogged about this a long time ago, and still have not found a pair. I do have patent leather flats, but I have outgrown them, and thereforeneed a new pair.

-A purple scarf! I am in love with purple this season, of course. J. Crew and Aqua have really cute scarves, am thinking about buying...

-Other miscellaneous accessories, such as gloves, legwarmers, skinny belts, etc.

This season I'm trying to buy more basics, instead of really specific things (like, say, a purple and cream colored argyle sweater), because, not only for practically, but because I'll have more to build on when creating outfits.

And lastly, I got tagged by the fabulous Ane from FeedMeBerries!

So, I am to list 6 unimportant things that make me happy:

1. Drawing or painting. I find a great comfort in this, and even doing a quick 5-minute sketch can make me feel great. :)

2. Listening to music. It always calms my nerves, and it's the first thing I go to when I'm upset.

3. Cutting up magazines for my decoupage box.

4. Creamy macaroni and cheese - not the out-of-the-box Kraft kind.

5. Looking at a new buy that I've been craving (like a new pair of boots).

6. The smell of cookies (especially Snickerdoodles!)

And
Here are the rules.

Well, I'm just going to make this tag open to anyone who wants to do it! :)

And, before I go, one last thing:

Are any of you guys using Google Adsense?

I'm interested in trying it out, but kind of uncertain about it. Do you think Good AdSense is worth the trouble? About how much do you earn?

(I know it depends on you site traffic, but do you earn in cents or dollars? Is the profit worth getting it? And do you have to have a LOT of traffic to get a reasonable amount?)

Sorry about all the questions...answering any question (if you use it) would be fantastic, though!

Thanks!

Bye for now! ♥

xoxo,

Tina :)
