The day has finally come-- I'm finally going to see Mockingjay Part 1 tonight! If you asked me why I'm so excited to see this movie, I'd say that it's mostly because life is so hectic right now with school finals that I look forward to any diversion. Also, listening to the Catching Fire and Mockingjay (Lorde's Yellow Flicker Beat) soundtrack is certainly revving me up. 

Another thing that has revved me up recently was the surprise purchase of this winter coat. Last Friday afternoon, I decided to check out my usual haunt-- Topshop-- before my work shift. Upon checking the clearance section as I tend to do, I spotted two of these gray coats that I had been eyeing previously. Sadly, I never thought that I would be able afford one as they were a whopping $350 and I have way too many expenses right now to spend that much on a simple coat. 

On this day, however, the coat was not only in my size but had been discounted to a mere $105! This was a deal that I could not pass over; I immediately marched the coat over to the cashier as soon as I had ascertained that it fit me. I was also excited to see that it was made out of wool, alpaca fleece, and mohair-- quality materials that will be sure to keep me warm during the winter months. What do you think of my new winter staple?

If you didn't already know, I had a shopping list that I made earlier this fall to purchase certain quality items: a pair of boots, a coat, and a new every day bag. Now that the boots (by the way, I can't stop wearing these awesome Zara boots) and coat have been checked off the list, I am just on the lookout for a new quality bag. Speaking of potential purchases, I am hoping to find a good deal on a new DSLR Canon camera this Black Friday-- are you thinking of getting anything during this annual sales event?
