Holidays

December

via
How fun is this watercolor illustration?! My adoration of Caitlin McGauley’s work continues (I last featured it here). I sure want to attend a holiday party with chic and dapper people like these! 

I feel like I keep saying this, but I seriously can’t believe how fast this year has gone. Literally my second-to-last-semester of college has flown by! Funny though, the temperatures here in Austin have hovered around the 80s all weekend…feels more like spring if you ask me. Have you begun your Christmas shopping yet? Unfortunately for me I have one last, hellacious week of school and tests ahead, but hope to start soon. 
Don’t forget to enter the Escapada Living giveaway for your chance to win an adorable Charleston tunic dress! Hope you have a wonderful start to your week!

    That illustration really is pretty! I feel the same way – this year has flown by. For me, it’s crazy to think that graduated over 6 months ago..it makes me feel like I’m getting old! Good luck with the end of the semester – finals are the one thing that I don’t miss about college haha.
