Weekend Shenanigans!

This is my first time linking up! Yay, anyways, back to the weekend of shenanigans....

Saturday: I spent the day shopping for Dustin's birthday and our anniversary.
I bought him a police shirt and Florida Gator gear. I also went to Caufield's which is a really cool halloween store. It also has other party supplies, but it is mainly Halloween gear! That night Dustin, my friend Erin and I went to Fear Fair. If you have never been to this haunted attraction in Southern Indiana, I highly recommend it! It's so worth it!

Sunday: Sunday I surprised my great grandma with KFC. Classy, right? but she loved it. Most of my day was spent on the farm walking through the woods. Afterwards, I went and spent my 5 year anniversary with Dustin. I am so lucky to have him!

OOTD: Polished Jungle

 

Boyfriend Blazer: via Gordmans $14.99 {similar} //  Tank: B. Jewel via TjMaxx $12.99 // Scarf: Kohls $11.99 on sale! // Girl Mia $55

Lately, while shopping, I have been searching for pieces that I can blend with more casual outfits while still being able to wear them dressy. I love this army green shift dress/tank top. I am not really sure what this is. I found it at TJMaxx on the clearnace rack. I knew I had to have it. 1 I am obsessed with this color for fall and 2 it fits my casualy dressy look. I paired this tank with leggings boots and a blazer for a more sophisticated look. Normally I do not dress up this much for class, but I had a meeting at school today. What do you guys think about this outfit?

10 Things my family accidentally taught me

I hope everyone had a good start to their October! So far I have been to 2 haunted houses this month and can't wait for more! Pictured below are some of my best friends.It was raining and gross, but we ended up having a good time.We told Dustin we were making a scary face lol.      Here are ten things that my family accidentally taught me... 10.Grandma's can do it all! Am I right? I have yet to find one thing that my grandma isn't good at. Well besides drinking, but that's another post. ;) 9. You will never be more heartbroken than when your little sibling gets theirs broken. 8. Don't cry; just try. Yes, this is one from my good ole' dad. Anytime I started to get frustrated with something he was always there to add "don't cry; just try", which at the time was very annoying. (learning fractions for the first time. Am I right?) Now it is just something that I can say to my students when they are struggling with something. Thanks, Dad. 7. Horizontal Stripes are a no go. Yes, grandmas are full of knowledge, but this is a fashion emergency! Unless you are stick thin, horizontal stripes are most likely going to make you look wider than you need to be. 6. The fish bite the best at 5am or earlier. Don't believe me ask my dad because I too have yet to catch a fish this early. 5. You can make something out of anything. Be creative! Don't worry about not having the specific items! Improvise! 4. Baseball is boring. There I said it. Sorry, baseball fans.  3. Lefty Loosey, Righty Tighty. Self explanatory. 2. You are not supposed to put ketchup on steak. EVER. 1. You can't love someone out of being a Kentucky fan. Sorry, guys.   Well their you have it! 10 things my family accidentally taught me. What are some things that your family has accidentally taught you?  

September Favorites

I know this post is late, but I've been busy! These are a few of my beauty products that I have been using constantly in September! 

1.  Kat Von D  tattoo eye liner - this literally stays on all day! 

2. Garnier eye roller  - I love this because it covers my dark circles under my eyes from a late night of studying! 

3. Garnier  bb cream - I never really wore makeup but I tried this and it gives you enough coverage to feel not so crumy . (You know what I mean) 

4. They're real benefit mascara - yes everyone loves this & so do I! 

5. Organic  thick & full  -  I love this shampoo. It smells and great and makes your hair feel amazing! 

Have you tried any of these products? What are some of your September faves? 

 

FALL 2013 MUST HAVES: AZTEC SWEATERS

1. Aztec open cardigan // 2. Oversized cable knit cardigan 

3. Chunky cardigan // 4.Black&white Cardigan 

My second fall must have is the Aztec sweater trend! I have a sweater similar number 4. It is soooooo comfy. I can post a pic of that if you guys want. I'm currently obsessing over these sweaters because not only are they comfy, but they are so versatile! They are light weight and breezy so they are really helpful for transitioning into fall.  I have already worn mine to class this semester and I received more than one compliment on it!  What do you guys think of this trend?

This look is so cute! I would wear this outfit to work or a classy evening out. I tried to use pieces that were affordable to everyone. Tights are in this fall. I repeat tights not just leggings! Not only is this a classy look, but it is also timeless. What do you think? Would you wear this look? 

Fall Wish List: Fringe Booties

First Series: Fall Wish List Fringe Booties! Okay so I will admit at first I was sooooo against booties, but now I am feelin em'. Let me explain myself. First off, I have long legs, long arms and a long torso. For some weird reason I thought that I couldn't wear booties because I am so long and the booties are so short. Ugh I don't know, whatevs. ha! Anyways back to the booties! These are just a few of the styles that I am loving! What do you guys think?

These are on sale and I am SERIOUSLY thinking about picking up a pair in the color Mocha. 

Now these are similar to the first booties, but I like these because they are not so "cowboy" looking in the toe.

Jessica Simpson knows her shoes! These could be dressed up or down. Plus the fringe is in the back. Something different?

I LOVE these!

This is more of a subtle look and I am digging it!

 

OOTD: Studded Nautical

 

Dress: Ruby Rox {love this} {and this} // Top: Forever21 {out of stock but easy to find}// Shoes: Mossimo

 This outfit was so comfy and I can't wait to wear it again! This dress was an absolute steal! I got it for under $10 at Peebles. Which in my opinion is a somewhat expensive store for the quality of the clothing that they sell. Like I said previously chambray is my new go to style. Plus the weather here in Southern Indiana is still hot during the day and cool at night it is easy to unroll the sleeves if I need too. I also love this chambray because of the studs on the shoulders. Kind of gives this nautical look an edgier feel. What do you guys think?
