Here are three videos that got the tears flowing last night before I went to bed. The first one is a beautifully done wedding video followed by an engagement video. If you didn't want to get married before, you will now. The third is an inspiring story about the love between a father and son that makes me want to ask, "what's my excuse?". Grab a box of tissues, and enjoy!<br />

It's "Jade is the New Black" by OPI and was my favorite color to steal from my friend Maura while I was home for winter break. I made the Starbucks connection while hanging out there one night and holding the famous holiday cup. I'm finally getting around to posting the picture, I hope you like the color!<br />

Oh my WORD it has been snowing like crazy in Seattle. I can't believe how much snow we've gotten so far and how much school we've missed! We already had a long weekend because of MLK and then we got three days cancelled in a row! At this point I'm just not quite sure what to do with myself. I took up knitting yesterday and finished my first scarf this afternoon! I'm totally hooked. I don't see myself making anything other than scarves mostly because they're the easiest and most mindless things that I could possibly make. Here's a pic of the first one! It's about seven feet long and I can triple wrap it. I just need a tapestry needle now in order to finish the seam. I used a super thick and chunky yarn and a 10mm needle so it came out a little thicker than the template which is fine with me.<br />
<br />

The pattern, if anyone is interested, is called the "mistake rib knit" and I took it from <a href="http://www.purlbee.com/easy-hand-knit-scarf/" target="_blank">this site.</a> It's a K2 P2 stitch repeated until the last three stitches, which are K2 P1. Until noon yesterday, I had no clue what that meant. Let me know if you need some helpful videos to get started, or, just Google away!<br />

Well the next step is getting more yarn, hopefully I can get out of my apartment within a few days! I think this will be my next challenge...I'll need a circular needle and a lot more knowledge about knitting, but who knows, maybe we'll have another huge snow week!<br />

I can't believe another great season has come and gone once again. It went by so fast! I spent Christmas eve in Salem with my dad's side of the family and Christmas morning with just the four of us at home. Later we drove down to Coos Bay to spend a few day's with my mom's family and exchange presents. My mom got an iPad! Now that we're home, the attention has been put on how to sync her iPhone with it. It's been quite a challenge but we get closer to figuring it out every day. The next task is going to be finding a great case for it. She has the <a href="http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD308LL/A?fnode=MTc0MjU2Mjc" target="_blank">pink smart cover by Apple</a> and now she's searching for a softer case for storage and travel. Here are some of my recommendations...enjoy, mom!<br />

Hello and Merry Christmas! I can't believe we're less than two days away from SANTA COMING! I can't wait to see family and eat some good food. </div>
<br />
I've been obsessed with a certain type of<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheViewFromUpHere?ref=si_shop" target="_blank"><b> hair tie </b></a>for a while now. Ever since I discovered a boutique in Seattle that carries them, I just have to stock up every other month. Now that <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">I've discovered how to make them, I just had to make them available and affordable for my friends and followers.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">These <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheViewFromUpHere?ref=si_shop" target="_blank"><b>wonderful elastic hair ties</b></a> are soft, stretchy and doubles as a bohemian-chic bracelets when your hair doesn't need to be up.

<br />
I have ten colors to start off with and we'll see how well they sell on my<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b> <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheViewFromUpHere" target="_blank">Etsy Shop</a></b></span> before I go crazy and splurge on every single one. Please check it out and let me know if you're interested in getting any! These are the sets I have so far and I can put together any combo of the below shades to match your style. Pricing is also available on my shop, but is always negotiable if bought in large quantities :)<br />

Lately I've just been hanging out at home recovering from surgery. I finally got around to repainting my nails...they were such a mess! I did a coat of <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/sally-hansen-hard-as-nails-xtreme-wear-nail-color-wet-cement/qxp348813?catid=196092&fromsrch=sally+hansen+wet+cement" target="_blank">"Wet Cement" by Sally Hansen</a> and finished with "Afterhours" by Urban Outfitters (usually at the counter) as a French tip. Paige gave me a bottle of Orly Top 2Bottom finish and, like the name states, I used it as a great base and top coat. Great upside to only doing tips in glitter? Removal isn't as huge of a pain! Now that I finally purchased an iPhone (Yayyy!), I've turned into an instant photographer with Instagram! Here are my hipster-cool pics of the polish and finished product.<br />

Instead of having a family dinner on Christmas Eve this year, we're just doing desserts with my dad's side of the family and then driving down to Coos Bay on Christmas Day and spend a few days there. I'm so excited that we're having people over for dessert! I love to bake and this will give me an excuse to do it in excess. We'll also take packages of baked goods down to Coos Bay. My mom asked me to compile a list of what we're making including a list of ingredients. Here's a rundown of everything we'll be whipping up next week! What are YOU going to be baking this year?<br />

Line a cupcake pan with 18 liners. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">In a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugars on medium speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and pepper into a medium bowl. Add the eggs 1 at a time to the mixer, scraping down the sides after each addition. Alternate adding the flour and milk mixtures, beginning and ending with the flour. Beat in the pumpkin until smooth. Scoop the batter among the cupcake liners — you’re looking to get them 3/4 full. Rap the filled pans once on the counter to release any air bubbles. Bake the cakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 to 25 minutes. Cool the cupcakes on racks completely.</span></span></div>

Gradually add powdered sugar and cinnamon, mixing well until it’s all incorporated. Use immediately or refridgerate. The frosting will harden in the fridge, so plan on bring it back to room temperature if you must refrigerate it before frosting the cupcakes. Either pipe out onto the cupcakes using a piping bag or a Ziploc bag (It works just as well!).</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; line-height: 20px;"></span></div>

14 more days until Christmas! I couldn't be more excited for that magical day. I have to keep reminding myself to appreciate every day leading up to THE day because the closer we get to Christmas, the closer I get to going back to school. I've been sort of down and out lately because of my shoulder surgery. It's been such a whirlwind these past few weeks! I had three finals in one day and every waking moment before my exams were spent with my nose in a book (okay, maybe Pinterest served as an occasional study break). The day after my finals I was scheduled for shoulder surgery and I was also planning on going home that same day. My parents drove me home and my mom has been the best nurse in the world when it comes to making sure I'm as comfortable as possible. I also had killer headaches which kept me away from the computer for a while, hence the lack of blogging.<br />
<br />
Here's an (unrealistic) list of things that I would LOVE to get for Christmas this year and I think most girls would agree they wouldn't mind seeing this below their tree as well. If anyone feels the need to do a random act of gifting, you know how to get in touch with me ;)<br />

I may or may not have an obsessive eye for eyebrows. For some strange reason, they're usually the first thing that I notice on someone. How well shaped they are, the arch and whether or not they're over plucked. They can totally shape someone's face and make them look completely put together or not. I also have a little <a href="http://pinterest.com/emily_oslie/">Pinterest</a> eyebrow addiction...every time a good lookin' brow pops up I MUST repin it! Take a look at some of my faves...they vary a little bit but all of them are so strong and clean.</div>

I hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving--that being said, it's time to celebrate the best month of the year! I look forward to Christmas oh-so-much for a few reasons:<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">1. I get to bake as much as my heart desires without anyone getting on my case about too many sweets around the house. It's perfectly acceptable to have excess sugar in the pantry when the weather outside is frightful!<br /><br />
2. I get to be home with my family! This of course is also an appreciation of the month off from school that we get to be at home and relax.<br /><br />
3. STARBUCKS. Oh my word...the red cups are here. Granted, they've been here for a few weeks, but now they finally mean something! It's socially acceptable for me to listen to Christmas music 24/7 while sipping my peppermint white mocha (if anyone out there wants to send me some Starbucks love, you know how to find me).</span><br />
<br />
4. Do I need more reasons? It's Christmas! Forget about the commercialized aspect and massive consumerism that goes on during this season; it's a time to celebrate the birth of Christ and what better way to do that than with the people we love.<br />
<br />
When I say "part one", that means part one of a possible 500 posts that I could dream up about Christmas baking. This first part is a tribute to the iconic Christmas candy: The Candy Cane. Forget about pulling back the plastic wrapper and getting the sticky red sugar all over your hands...we're doing candy canes grownup style. Whether the red and white shows up in the form of a kiss (Hershey's, that is) or a small peppermint candy, there's no going wrong with the refreshing flavor that accompanies them. Check out these (decadent, wonderful, do-able) recipes that accentuate the diversity of this cane of Christmas joy.<br />

I know I signed up for some showers and year round cloud coverage but not flooding in the middle of campus! I need a serious shoe update, I could probably use a pair of those pants that fishermen wear when they go wading in shallow water. You tell me, <a href="http://www.best-fly-fishing-equipment.com/fly-fishing-waders.html">is it a good look</a>? I think I'll need to invest in a pair of these if the rain decides to keep coming down the way it has been (Yes, I've been in Seattle for a year and a half and still don't have rain boots!).<br />

I haven't posted for a while and the fact that I'm taking Anatomy can be blamed for that. I just finished up the second exam (one more to go!) and I'm taking a break tonight from studying. Right now I'm all about <a href="http://www.pandora.com/#!/stations/play/98303976047093064">Bon Iver Pandora</a>, graham crackers with peanut butter and wearing my <a href="http://www.uggaustralia.com/womens-classic-short-boots/5825,default,pd.html?dwvar_5825_color=NPL&start=2&cgid=women-boots-classic">Ugg boots</a> 24/7. Even though they weren't meant to be worn with sweat pants every other day, that's what my life has come to. Putting on a pair of my favorite Hudson jeans today took some effort. I'm just thankful that I can pull the "athlete" card whenever I feel like walking out the door in a pair of yoga pants for the second day in a row (okay, third).<br />
<br />
This morning I started out in a pair of Toms but then realized that I would not be nearly as comfortable taking my exam if I wasn't wearing my Uggs. Spending my time on Pinterest while getting ready in the morning while I get ready has also made me realize how versatile and adorable a good pair of boots can be. Next on my list is a pair of tan/brown boots similar to this first look.<br />

It's been five weeks in this tiny apartment and all I want is to live in a home with ceilings more than a foot taller than I am. For now, all I can do is gawk at these gorgeous and beautiful rooms that look like they belong in a castle.<br />

The sun was out and there wasn't a cloud in sight :) The only thing that reminded me it was fall was the fact that our lush green Seattle trees are fading into rustic colors--I think the 45 degree weather was another clue. I so looked forward to coming home and curling up on the couch with a bowl of tomato soup and a cozy blanket. I also could not WAIT to light our holiday scented candle! All that's missing is a blazing fireplace. I've finally come to terms with the fact that it's fall but our tiny apartment needs an upgrade. Here's what my dream fall home would look like:<br />

(sort of...) Lindsey showed me how to do it a few days ago in the locker room and I'm SO STOKED that I have finally learned the secret behind it. I feel like I'm totally over exaggerating this, oh well! The trick is to twist both pieces out and away from each other before twisting together. It's been such a mystery for the longest time and I'm proud to say that I've got it down now!<br />
<br />
I did this today when I was in a hurry to get to the gym for our match and it turned out a little funky...but I still like it! It looks like a braid at first, but don't be fooled! It is indeed a (over-hyped) twist.<br />

For some reason the importance of good sleep has been more important than ever so far this quarter. I was ready for (and took) a nap at 11:00 in the morning. Ahh, life of a college student. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Recently I've been overly aware of dresses fit for a high school homecoming because my (hot/awesome/wonderful) sister is going in a few weeks. I feel like I've found a lot of adorable dresses that may or may not work for a school dance or I can't find where they're from. Oh well, here are some of my favorites that go well with sun, Starbucks and sandals--or boots, I just needed a word that started with 's' :) </div>

This is also my LAST posting with clothes that can't be worn outside of summer in Seattle! It's time to accept the clouds and start throwing on some scarves. </div>

It's over. Gone. Won't be back for 8 months. Bye. Yes, I realize that it's the 10th and it's been fall for almost 3 weeks AND Seattle's summer has been over since August...but I think that everyone can agree with me when I say it's always hard to let go of the sun and welcome in the dark and gloomy months to come. One way to ring in the new season is with autumn's favorite gourde: The Pumpkin. Pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin pies, pumpkin smoothies at Jamba. While the weather outside is nasty, the oven inside is blazing and full of treats fit for fall, Halloween through Christmas.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/libbys-pumpkin-roll-with-cream-cheese-filling/Detail.aspx">The pumpkin roll</a> has been a tradition in the Oslie household for about 5 years and I don't plan on letting this fade out. Ever. Try it and you'll see what I mean! Pumpkin + cream cheese + love=om nom nom.<br />

I know it sounds weird, but the Pumpkin Smash Smoothie at Jamba Juice might be the best drink I've ever had there. I wish they offered this more because it is BOMB. This <a href="http://www.myloveforcooking.com/recipes/pumpkin-pie-smoothie/">recipe</a> is pretty similar, so if I ever get a craving in June I can just whip one up myself!<br />

Do you like cake? Do you also like cups? What about pumpkin? (If you've gotten this far down, then you like pumpkin) Judge these by their looks, because they all look de-LISH. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
My roommate got this at Urban Outfitters and I just now put this up on our empty boring wall right above our TV. I just can't express the joy that I get every time I look at this. Cornelius is inspiring the following pictures because it's about time to give him some neighbors. We're still in the process of decorating so here are some weird photo collections as inspiration.</div>

I talked to her yesterday and she told me that homecoming is coming up! I think every school does their own thing, but at her high school they have a football game on Friday and a semi-formal dance Saturday night. I wish that I was home so I could go dress shopping with her! Here are some of my choices Maddie. Make me proud ;)<br />

Wow, Summer went by fast. This hairstyle is a constant reminder of the hair-lightening power that the sun brings us and I'm so in love. I was a skeptic at first, especially with straight hair, but it has totally grown on me. I think this will be my next hair adventure! <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I get to witness this neurotic, pregnant, stylist turned designer try to manage her stylish and fabulous life. She might be a little cranky and feisty most of the time, but it also a major joy to witness the process that it takes to put a great outfit together especially during awards season. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Switching gears from fashion to being crafty and eco-friendly, I'm also in love with repurposed home furniture! They're building new classrooms next door and have pallets laying everywhere which totally inspired this montage of refurbished wood. Check out these pallets turned headboards/coffee tables/shelves and so much more.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

My favorite has to be Nina Dobrev in her red hot Donna Karan strapless work of art. The texture is gorgeous and lets the simple cut speak for itself. The gathering at the bottom is perfect for this formal event without being too over the top.<br />

I still love maxis! Summer's almost over and this trend is about to fade with it. Here's one last hoorah to the dress that took over fashion magazines for the past 6 months. I can see this dress making a transition into fall wardrobes with the right color, texture, and accessories. My goal has been to find more of these to add to my closet as a go-to look; so far Forever21 and H&M have had some finds. (Jump to the bottom to find Shelby's latest discovery!)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Check out this first dress modeled by the beautiful SPU soccer player, Brittany! I love this dress and even though maxis don't need to fit as precisely as other styles of dresses, this is just the right length for this Cali hottie. </div>
