Hi friends,
This is my favorite girl. Ally has been helping with my blog behind the scenes, but we thought you guys might be interested in her style. Sorry about the weird light at the bottom of the photos. A book was in the way and the flash reflected weird off the book cover. Anyway, expect some posts of her looks in the future.
Hi friends,
Merry Christmas Eve Eve! New Years is coming up, and I wish I had a dress like these to go out in! This blue/lace/nude combo seems to be a trend. I like it! Do you?
P.S. I think these Polyvore slideshows are a pretty cool feature to use.
Hi friends,
I wish I knew about this when I was looking for a prom dress. Just wanted to share this really awesome site with you guys! Best part? Real people post pictures of them in the dresses at their events so you can see how it falls on different body types and what not.
Hi Friends,
I'm officially done with my fall semester, so I plan on getting a bunch of posts up/scheduled. I'm really excited. I have all my clothes at home, instead of just the ones I decide to bring to school, so I have way more outfit options. YAY! I also fixed my computer so that my SD card actually mounts, because it was being a bum. That's my big win for the day.
Hi friends,
I came across this website browsing through some blogs I follow. I thought some of you might be interested. Some of it is expensive, but they've got cute quirky pieces, especially for the holidays!
Hi guys,
I have never had a pair of real snow boots, so I'm very excited about this new buy. I don't like the snow, but it's a reality I have to deal with. Silver lining? Sorel!
Hi friends,
Christmas music has started already!! It's getting me pumped for the season. I'm working on my Christmas list. If I was smart I'd just ask for next semesters school books, but I can't help going online and looking at things I might want. It's, also, fun to look at pretty things that I'll be buying my friends for Christmas. Do you guys give gifts during the holidays? If you do, check out this store. I absolutely love their selection.
I'm loving my tights! It's been a little cold, but I can suck it up for cute clothes, right? Haha. Animal prints are my favorite right now, and by that I mean literal animals as the pattern not cheetah print or something. (The website says dog, but those are totally foxes, right?) I think it is a fun, kinda quirky way to add something interesting to my look.
Hi friends,
I know it's been a few weeks, but I thought I'd share how my Halloween went. The first party our apartment had ever hosted went really well! It was so much fun. Great costumes, great people, great food. That's all you need.
Hi friends,
Cold weather means we can start wearing jackets! It's my favorite part about winter weather. I never feel like i have enough. I'm going to focus on some cute winter coats for this post!
Hi readers!
There are a few ways I could do this post, so there might be a few variations of it posted, but for now I'll post about lounge wear. College can be so stressful!! Right now I'm at that point in the semester where I feel like exploding! This blog helps calm me down, so does shopping, going to the gym, and just lounging around. I thought I'd post some fun lounge wear, which I never had a real need for until college. Aerie is the top place that comes to mind for super cute and comfy lounge wear.
Don't these soft, plushy clothing items just make you want to curl up and skip class all day? Haha. Just kidding...kinda. Stay tuned for some more possible "de-stressing" posts!
Thanks for visiting,

Hi friends,
I'm swamped with work, ugh, let's not talk about it. My week was made a little better when I went to my mailbox and saw that the tights I ordered (that said they wouldn't arrive until November 18th) were there! YAY! I got them on Amazon for under 6$, and they're my new favorite thing!
The ones I bought are on the right. Tights are very delicate, so I hate to spend more than $10 on them, just in case they are going to rip. I like this brand, Adrian, because they don't have that weird bar across the thigh, unlike my regular tights which force me to hike them up real high when I wear shorts. I like the ones I bought because of thee line down the back, adds some vintage flare. This brand had a lot of fun patterns, and I'll probably buy more soon.
Keep an ye out for them in my future outfit posts!

It was kinda chilly out, but warm enough to wear leggings and shorts. Yay! I love being able to get year-round use out of pieces of clothing! Also, I love wearing my faux-leather jacket. $18 at Forever 21. They have a lot of cool jackets out right now, so go buy them. :]
Hi guys,
So I'll probably do a lot of these "Quick Outfit Posts" during my Fall semester. I have a lot to do and I want to keep posting, so I thought this could be a good solution. It can also give you all a better picture of what my day-to-day style looks like. I apologize for my ugly, stereotypical college dorm setting :p
Here's a quick outfit post. Sorry there aren't pretty backgrounds in most of these school ones; I'm crunched for time. Better than no outfit post right?
Hey friends,
I'm only taking 4 classes this semester, so I only spend about 2 hours per day in class. That means I have no excuse to avoid exercise (though, on many occasions I find those excuses). Ideally, I try to workout at the gym at least 3x a week. To not get bored I mix up what I do each day.
I LOVE ZUMBA. My college's gym offers a 45 minute Zumba class every Tuesday, and I make an effort to be there. The time flies by, because it's really fun. Don't worry, you don't need rhythm. Everyone there looks silly, so it doesn't matter. Try it! If you are nervous to do it in front of people or don't have a gym membership, there are plenty of Zumba songs on YouTube.
Another class I always try to make it to is yoga. The one my school offers is on Fridays and its "Relaxation Yoga". It's a perfect way to get in a quick workout, while winding down from your week and easing into the weekend. Yoga is one of my favorite modes of exercise, so I was really happy when I found out my school offered it. If I can't do anything, I try to at least do a sun salutations.
When I'm not doing a class, I usually use the arc trainer, elliptical, or bike. The arc trainer is my new favorite. I don't know why, but I find it less monotonous than the elliptical or bike. I definitely get bored easily working out, so often times, I'll bring flash cards to study on the bike. It gets me to focus on studying and it gets 2 tedious things out of the way in the same 30 minute session.
I switch it up sometimes and try a boxing class or use free weights sometimes, but I mostly stick to Zumba, Yoga, and the arc trainer. I love having a gym on campus, because it's less than a 5 minute walk from my dorm. We'll see if I keep up my good exercise habits when it gets cold out...
Thanks for visiting! What do you do to stay active?

Hi friends,
The weather can not decide what it wants to be! It's hot one day and cold the next, so my go to look has been layering a cardigan with a tank top or tee. This tank top is one of my favorites, and was given to me by one of my best friends. It says "You know nothing Jon Snow", which is a Game of Thrones quote, if you didn't know.
College is keeping me busy, so I kept it casual with leggings (which I hardly EVER wear), a tank, a cardi, my backpack, and combat boots.
My roommates and I are going to host a Halloween party, so I thought I'd make a few Halloween posts. It's definitely my favorite holiday, and this is the first time I've ever had my own Halloween party. Since we're in college, we have no money so we've been scavenging our families' basements, dollar stores, and anywhere else we can find cheap Halloween-themed things. Luckily, one of my roommate's aunt owns a Halloween company and the other has a bunch of Halloween decorations, because of all her Halloween birthday parties. I'm so excited!!!
Every year my roommate brings a large bin of female costumes for us to choose from. This year, I'm skipping the bin and going to try to make my own. My girlfriend and I are planning on being 50s greasers (pictures to come). In the mean time, keep reading for some cool DIY costume ideas I found!
Hi friends!
I've been bargain hunting for my Halloween costume. Just got a belt for my 1950's greaser look at Good Will. On the subject of good deals, check out this sale going on at Charlotte Russe. $5 Halloween accessories?! Awesome!
1. Bear ears
2. Flapper head wrap
3. Bunny ears
There are a bunch of tights, knee highs, and accessory sets, too. All these fun costume things makes me want to be like 20 different things for Halloween! Have you found any cheap items for your costume?

Hi people,
I intellectually understood that with short hair, my neck would be bare and therefore be cold. BUT DAMN MY NECK IS COLD! I don't think I was mentally prepared. In the wardrobe department, though, I'm very prepared. I've always loved scarves and have a bunch. My least favorite part was spending money on them (which I'm sure is everyone's least favorite part), but now I have a reason to buy more! I gotta stay warm, right?
Here are a few cool Etsy scarves that I'm in love with!
