announcement + update

I'M MOVING!!!!!

Except probably not in the way you think I mean... let's just say State of Greyce will be receiving a makeover as well as its own domain name. This means that my web address will no longer be stateofgreyce.blogspot.com but instead it will be stateofgreyce.com. I am giving you guys a heads up before you think I have stopped blogging on this site. As soon as the website is launched, I will post an announcement and let you guys know. For now, I am planning to launch the new website on February 1. 

I am so excited to finally announce this because I have big plans for my new site including (hopefully) posts every single day. My posts will range from fashion to beauty to travel and I am looking to include some video content such as hair and makeup tutorials. Look out for upcoming content! 

Okay now a little update.. This week has been CHAOS. I really wish I could explain everything but things have been so busy lately and I am anticipating for my life to only get crazier in the next few months as I approach graduation in May (ya, still don't know what college I am going to so that's great). I was looking at my calendar the other day and I seriously have no free weekends until the end of February... But hey, I am not complaining because I enjoy keeping busy!

I swear every month there is always an event I look forward to. January/February is the time for award shows!!! aka my guilty pleasure. Currently, I have been trying to watch all the Oscar movie nominations so when the Oscars come around I can justify whether the winning movies deserve their awards or not... I am putting all my votes in for American Sniper, Wild, and The Grand Budapest Hotel. Stop your life and go watch those NOW. 

I recently dyed my hair to where I have dark brown roots and blonde at the end kinda like ombre. I enjoy the change however I wished the blonde in my hair was a little lighter. I have also been bad at recording my outfits so I am hoping to just have like a stockpile day soon so I can post more often. Here are some outfits I have been wearing recently though.

christmas shopping

It feels like years since I last posted... okay maybe two weeks! Good news though, I am on Christmas break at last! I could not be more excited to spend this time with friends and working on my blog. Today, I went to the mall and did a little last minute shopping to grab some gifts for my parents. Surprisingly, I didn't have to fight many crowds. I chose an easy, casual outfit to wear that would make trying on clothes a breeze (except it didn't because these boots are a hassle to pull on and off). These boots are my new favorites from Free People. They have a lace up back and gorgeous ombre detail at the toe. I'm also loving my hooded cardigan from Target because who doesn't like a hood?! Make sure to click the links below to see wear everything is from :).

the road not taken

This week has been one of the hardest weeks to push through. The anticipation of Thanksgiving break lingers upon me. Not only is Thanksgiving next week, but also Black Friday. I haven't decided if i am going to fight the crowds or whether I will stay home and surf the internet sales. Unfortunately, I have a little surgical procedure being done tomorrow, so this weekend I will be stuck in bed recovering. I am hoping to use the time to put together a little holiday gift guide for those of you who are in need of gifts for your loved ones!

hello november

Now that it's November, the holidays are just around the corner. It feels like summer was just yesterday (probably because it was since the weather was 80 degrees last week...). Anyways, I am finally donning a few of my sweaters and pulling on my tall boots. I decided since I am about to go off to college that it was time to invest in a nice pair of riding boots. I ended up purchasing the new Tory Burch riding boot for this season. The boots are high quality and I know they will last me for years. The subtle TB logo imprinted on the side adds a nice touch, making the boot not appear too gaudy. I also did some bargain shopping recently at the outlets in Charlotte and scored this pink J. Crew Factory sweater for 50% off and this leopard skirt at Banana Republic for $20!
