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.

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!
