Black Friday

 On Black Friday, I spent the morning and afternoon shopping with all of the other crazy shoppers of America! I ended up getting some really nice clothing pieces and accessories at great prices! I started my day out with some Starbucks right when we arrived at the mall, and then went to Lilly Pulitzer, Nordstrom, Aerie, American Eagle, Anthropologie, Free People, Sephora, and, of course, J. Crew! I will admit that I did some minor damage to my bank account (woops!) but it was worth it! I can't wait to style the pieces that I bought in upcoming posts! What purchases did you make on Black Friday?

Give Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope y'all are having a great day with your families and friends. I am so thankful for my health, family, friends and for the opportunities that I have had and will have. I spent the day getting ready for and eating a great Thanksgiving dinner and dessert. I will probably spend the rest of the night working on some homework, and getting ready for the shopping madness tomorrow!

On My Nails

I love using glitter and a neutral or dark nail polish in the fall. I am already on my second bottle of this Essie nail polish, it's beautiful!

Tuesday Two {10}

This past Saturday, I received some very exciting news! I was accepted at UGA for Genetics! 

These winter-themed Diet Coke cans are getting me into the holiday spirit!

I only have one more day of school (half day, actually) until my "Thanksgiving break", and I'm very excited to have a break for a few days. This year I am planning on watching the entire parade! I hope y'all are having a great week so far, and be on the lookout for upcoming holiday posts!

Pinterest looks that I'm loving

I love to wear flannels in the fall and winter with a statement necklace. The layered coat with a fur collar is a perfect way to finish off the look.

This Lilly Pulitzer Hera dress is one of my favorite dresses from the fall/winter collection. It's stunning!

I love the look of this long sleeved peplum top and dark pants. Very simple, yet sophisticated.

The Herringbone vest is, of course, one of my favorite pieces for this fall. I love the layered flannel and sweater underneath.

What are some of your favorite Pinterest looks of this fall?

My newest splurge!

I have been eyeing the Tory Burch 'Amanda Crossbody' for a long time. I used to contemplate buying it every time I saw it online or in a department store. Tory Burch is my absolute favorite designer; all of her products have a very classy aesthetic. 

This past weekend I was at my favorite mall, in my favorite five story Nordstrom, and happened to see my favorite bag. Nordstrom just so happened to be offering twenty percent off the original price on most designer brands. I, of course, took advantage of this and finally bought the bag I had been lusting over for a year.

I am so glad I finally bought it. I love crossbody bags, and this one is just perfect! It holds my keys, ID, cards, makeup, phone and more. Definitely worth the price!

I was pleasantly surprised to find this bow belt at my Target after seeing it all over Instagram! I have already worn it once, and it is absolutely perfect for the holiday season!  

I bought this Clinique Chubby Stick in Mega Melon last winter while shopping on Fifth Avenue, and have recently started using it more frequently. It is the perfect neutral-pink for my skin tone!

Fall, Flannel and Pearls

I spent a few hours out this past weekend, and decided to dress up a bit to go do some shopping. The mall was crazy! Lots of people were out shopping for the holiday season! Nordstroms was especially crowded, as they were having 20% off most designer brand names. I'm wearing a comfy flannel with some riding boots and pearls to add a feminine touch.

It is already more than a quarter of the way through my senior year. I've sent in all of my college applications, gotten one acceptance letter so far, and I am excited for the rest! I've started to collect different ideas for my dorm room next year on my Pinterest, and these are some of my favorites!

It is officially the holiday season! Target is one of my favorite places this time of year, and they are already stocked up on Christmas decor!

The Peppermint Mocha K-Cup from Dunkin Donuts is delicious! Definitely a new favorite!

I hope y'all are enjoying your week so far! With the weather changes, it is definitely starting to bring me  into the holiday spirit! What's your #tuesdaytwo?

Sick Weekend

Starbucks Blonde Roast coffee after a trip to the doctor

I went on a short shopping trip and picked up a few things from J. Crew, Bath and Body Works, and Sephora! 

Yummy cupcakes from Sprinkles in Georgetown

Last Wednesday I started feeling bad, and I ended up taking a half day on both Thursday and Friday. Thankfully, whatever virus I had is finally starting to go away, and I was able to go back to school today! Hope y'all are having a good Monday!

Small Town Virginia

Last Saturday I spent the day in Purcellville, VA picking out fabric for my dorm room quilt next year. I found the perfect fabrics to match with my Lilly Pulitzer Sunflower fabric. We ate lunch at Magnolias, and I had the California Dreamin' sandwich, which was delicious! It was the perfect fall day!

Wishlist {2}

After a few online browsing days and trips to the mall, I have compiled my updated wishlist for this fall season! 

I love the look of a cloche in the fall and winter; they have a very parisian style to them. This tortoise cross-body caught my eye in Anthropologie. I have never seen anything quite like this bag. And of course, a shiny statement necklace and a fun gingham oxford!

I finally decided to buy the J. Crew herringbone vest. It's no longer available in stores, so I settled on one from eBay. Although it was overpriced, I still love it!

Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood has been on repeat for the past two weeks. It's just so catchy!

Simple and Comfy

This is just a simple and comfy outfit I threw together one cold morning this past week. You can never go wrong with jeans, a cardigan, and flats! This cardigan is a new addition to my wardrobe and it is such a staple fall piece! And I am especially loving J. Crew's matchstick jeans- they are so comfortable!
