About Me

My photo
Lately I've felt as if my life is in an unorganized jumble. One minute I'm on a workout kick and the next I'm obsessed with fashion and beauty. Honestly, I think I've been so worried about keeping up with everyone else instead of just doing me. I figured I would begin a space where I could post outfits I wear and enjoy, recipes that are delicious, and general things I do on a daily basis... in other words, I'll post my life.

Fall Essentials...Yes, Already.


So the other day I glanced at the calendar and realized it’s already mid August. Two months of summer flew by me and now I’m left with less than a month before school. Before I let myself get all miserable, I tried to remind myself what few things I enjoy around this time of year... like back to school shopping! So I set myself on the job to present you a list of fall essentials for preps. Back to school clothing, backpacks, shoes, you name it. Everything and anything a preppy girl like me would consider important for the fall time, and I’m revealing it to you! Here are some things you should consider checking out:

School Essentials:


Vera Bradley BackpackSo even though about everyone and their mother has one of these. For those people who actually care about doing school work and worry about being able to carry around your books, get the campus style backpack. For those seniors or slackers like me out there, get the smaller one. Everyone wins!

Monogram Coffee Cup or Tumbler

For those early mornings when you just want to take a crack at your period one teacher in the face, drink from your styling coffee cup instead! These are fun because their all yours and can help you get your day going in a positive direction when people constantly compliment your cup :)

Tumbler: http://www.marleylilly.com/Monogrammed-16oz-Hot-Pink-Double-Wall-Acrylic-Cup_p_2111.html


Fashion:


LL Bean BootsDepending on where your located, these boots can be a savior or way too hot on your feet. (Either way they look cute) I was born and raised in Maine before I moved to Chicago, so LL Bean is basically what I grew up wearing. These boots are great for fall but especially winter, and are so much cuter than uggs. (I am so over that trend)

Colored CorduroysIn the summer, everyone whips out their bright colored jeans. In the fall, I whip out my fall toned corduroys. Plum, navy, forest green, cranberry. Any darker colors look absolutely adorable tucked into that number three up there ^^. An array of colors to choose from can be found at J Crew.

Quilted Vests *MY NUMBER ONE ESSENTIAL!*
Believe me when I say I am completely and utterly obsessed with the J Crew Quilted Vests. I have one in navy that I have worn to death. I’m dying over the forest green and the nude one, so those will probably be my next purchase at J Crew. If you are edgy, they offer a hot pink and a black and white patterned one. I might even buy the hot pink for those days when I’m looking to stand out :)

Well that's all for now, folks. Thanks for tuning in! Let me know if you purchase any of these things.
