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!

polar vortex

Two words: 'Tis cold. Actually, it is so cold that I had to choose a location indoors to shoot these pics because I couldn't bear to be outside without a jacket. Yes, I know I am slacking. I haven't been the best blogger for the past two weeks but I am hoping to get back on it soon. On a better note, the holidays are right around the corner and I could not be more excited. I need a break from school and there is nothing better than spending time at home with family and yummy food (and catching up with my tv shows via netflix). I have some exciting projects in the works for 2015 and I cannot wait to share with you guys. As the year comes closer to an end, I keep thinking about how amazing 2015 will be.

October Favorites

Oh my goodness, where has the time gone? October flew by so fast. I will say it has been one of the best but most stressful months I have had this year. Every time fall comes around, I set goals for myself that I will go to a haunted house, carve pumpkins, bake holiday treats, etc. Usually, I never do any of those but this year I feel like I embraced all the fall activities that I could! I went to a haunted house earlier this month and even though it wasn't too scary, I had so much fun. It also got me into this stage of watching scary movies every weekend with friends. This past week I was watching a Chucky marathon and it was hysterical. I also went to the fair recently with one of my friends and we had fun playing with his GoPro camera on all the rides! You can view the video of our clips here. Okay, so on to some of my favorites for the month....

                              

So I was introduce to the Walking Dead this month and I am really loving it. I haven't had much time to go back and watch the previous seasons but I am hoping to do that with all the holidays coming up.  I also caught up on Revenge which has been one of my favorite shows for about 3 years now. This season is mind-blowing and everything is finally coming together. Lastly, I started watching the office on Netflix. O. M. G. It is the funniest show I have ever seen. You have to have a good sense of humor to really get into it. It has definitely cheered me up when I am having a rough or stressful day because I can't help but laugh at all the silly things they do on there! 


Long story short.. I used to be a die hard Taylor Swift fan and then once she turned into a pop star and ditched the curls, I started disliking her. Well I saw her new album on iTunes this week and decided I would give it a try. I am OBSESSED. I bought the whole album (which I never do with any artist). Her lyrics are always on point. Some of the songs I have been loving are Clean, All You Had To Do Was Stay, and I Know Places. 


As far as fashion favorites, I have been loving hats and flannels. I think I wear a hat every single chance I can so I apologize if I post like 5 outfits in a row of me wearing a floppy hat... but they are just so darn cute for the fall! Flannels have also been a go to since I can style them a million different ways. I can throw it over a tee or dress, wrap it around my waist, use it as a jacket, etc. AND they are available anywhere for affordable prices. 

Side note | I apologize for being absent this week. As some of you know, the deadline for early admission at many colleges is November 1st. I have been working all week on perfecting my applications as well as having a huge load of school work piled on top of me. Now with all of that behind me, I will be posting much more in the upcoming weeks!

Indiana Jones

I have decided that fall is my favorite season. The chilly temperatures, the crisp air, and the colors of the season draw me in. Everyone should always have those go to classic pieces to throw on in the morning. Today, mine consisted of a blazer, jeans, and my favorite fall shirt - a chambray button down. These staples effortlessly complement each other and complete an outfit in no time. I love to add some accessories such as a scarf and a hat to finish off the look. Once again, my love for hats this season has controlled this outfit. Sometimes, layering can become pretty uncomfortable if the scarf becomes constraining or the jacket becomes too thick. This ensemble was absolutely perfect and will definitely be worn many more times until the brutal days of winter fall upon us.

Hats Galore

The one thing I have enjoyed the most about fall this year is wearing hats.... every. single. day. I cannot take them off. The one I am wearing, I bought from Nordstrom last year and I am obsessed with it. I swear as soon as I put on one of my hats I instantly feel put together. The great thing is that fall and winter hats come in seriously every color and style imaginable. From beanies to floppy hats, there is a suitable style for everyone's taste. I also felt like throwing on this hat toned down my super rocker outfit. I am also loving my combat boots. These are my everyday boots from November until February. I always look forward wearing them each year! I experimented today with throwing on a flannel over a graphic tee and I LOVE this look. It is seriously the perfect touch and especially helpful with the unpredictable weather of the South since I can just pull off the flannel when the weather is warmer some days.
