Some September Activities

Let's catch up on what's been going on lately.  We first of all let's just state the obvious, IT'S FALL!  Which means the heat wave in San Diego has officially ended and I can actually wear sweaters and boots without feeling like I'm gonna die.  I have been taking advantage of that this week by pulling all my cardigans out of my closet and putting them to good use.  My favorite fall outfit so far has been the one pictured in the middle.
Cardigan: Old Navy
Dress: Forever21
Earings: Forever21
Glasses: Warby Parker
Phone case: Ebay

Last week was my friend Miranda's birthday and we celebrated by going out to In Cahoots, a country bar in San Diego, for drinks and dancing. Happy Birthday girl!  Also, that was probably the most exciting thing to happen to me in a while because I NEVER go out.

Back to this week, although I'm excited about the weather, this week has been extremely hectic.  I had two midterms on Tuesday; French and 19th century European art history.  I worked Wednesday night so I stated up late studying after I got home then rushed to school early the next morning to study some more.  After a bit of a stressful day my work called later that evening to see if I wanted to pick up a five hour closing shift, which I couldn't say no to, need the money!  So I worked till about 1030, and let me tell you, after that day, I don't think I've ever been more happy to see my bed.  But then this morning I went back to work for a little shopping since it's employee appreciation weekend!  As you can see I got a lot of maroon colored clothing, 1. because its the perfect fall color and 2. because my manager says it's my color and she helped me pick out half of it.  Cannot wait to wear it though, with my new boots!

And in between all of the midterms and work this week I got a cute little snapchat from my sister, it made me smile.

Tonight, to relax me and the roomies ordered pizza, made some margaritas and started watching American Horror Story (which is crazy, have any of you watched it? Creepy and addicting right?)  

What have you all been up to in these first few weeks of fall?

Tell me about it, Stud.

Allow me to please talk about how excited I am that big studs seem to be back in.  For a while it seemed like I could not find a good pair of study earrings anywhere.  Now, don't get me wrong, I love my dangling earrings and all that but sometimes a girl just needs a good pair of studs.  For a while I thought I could only find stud earrings I liked at thrift stores and such.  I like my studs big, and old fashioned (coincidentally also how I like my men).  Now these vintage inspired studs seem to be everywhere.  Here are some of my favorites.

Which are your favs?

Fall is Coming!

Anyone who knows me well knows I am obsessed with fall and winter.  Basically the time from the start of fall to Christmas is my favorite time of the year.  After this terrible heat wave here in SoCal boy am I ready for fall and fall weather.  Lately there have been a ton of fall inspired pins on Pinterest and it has been making me more excited for the season than ever.  Here are some of my favorite fall inspired pins as of lately.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 

Reasons Why I Love Fall:
  • My birthday is in fall.
  • The smell of cinnamon and pumpkin spice.
  • Fall Starbucks drinks.
  • Big scarves and boots.
  • Cold weather when you're at home with a cup of coffee.
  • Thanksgiving food.
  • Baking Thanksgiving cupcakes and cookies.
  • FOOTBALL SEASON!
  • Starting to shop for Christmas!
Reasons Why I Don't Love Fall:
  • Finals.
What are you favorite things about fall? Are you all as excited as I am for the changing seasons?

Back to School Style

We all know the inevitable is approaching, there is no more hiding, school is starting my friends and you better be prepared.  I start school again a week from today and I am half excited and half dreading it.  I'm excited to get back into a routine and of course be at a new school, however, I know a couple weeks in I will be counting down to winter break.  Now, I don't know about the rest of you but a new semester always makes me want new stuff!  I have to fight the need to shop for a new wardrobe every semester.  That doesn't stop me from lusting over things online though.  Here is some back to school style that I hope to acquire this semester, after I find a job of course.

1.  2.  3.  4.  5.  6.  7.  8.

What are your must haves when you start back to school?  Or for just fall in general?
Also, I am all moved into my new house and I'll be posting pictures of my room all decorated in the next couple of days.

June Favorites

1.  Black wrap with gold studs: I got mine at a local boutique but this one pictured is very similar and can be found here.  I have seen them all over though. It's perfect to add a little edginess to an outfit.

2.  Sparkle nail polish:  I am obsessed with sparkle nail polish lately, whether it's ombre sparkle nails or an sparkle accent nail.  I get most of my nail polish front the drug store or Forever 21.  I cannot afford to constantly buy expensive nail polish and at only $2.80 I've found that Forever 21 polish lasts pretty long. The polish pictured as well as other colors can be found here.

3.  Two Faced Shadow Insurance:  I had been looking for a shadow primer at a reasonable price that would make my shadow last all day and this one has worked out great so far!  It's under $20 and the tube has lasted me quite a while, you do not need to apply too much for your shadow to stick.  This primer helps my shadow and liner not to crease, smudge, or fade which is perfect for long days. I got mine at Sephora, you can find it online here.

4.  Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream:  OH. MY. GOD.  So I have incredibly dry skin and get eczema when I stress out so it is very hard for me to keep my skin moisturized, especially my face. Between wearing makeup and washing my face every night my face dries out very easily.  I have tired moisturizer after moisturizer and this is by far the best I have ever found.  My mom has the same dry skin I do and she had bought it for herself; I tired it out and after one night my skin felt ten times softer. I cannot believe I lived for so long without this product.  But, like I said I have incredibly dry skin so I can't say how this would work for someone with oily skin.  You can find Cetaphil at pretty much any drug store, here it is at Target.com.

5.  Knit Fedora with Bow:  I got my knit fedora with a black bow on it at Forever 21.  I am fedora obsessed this summer.  It's the perfect summer accessory.  The fedora pictured is the one I have however it is no longer available on Forever21.com although there are tons of other fedoras at Forever21 as well as other stores for summer.

6.  Suave Professionals Dry Shampoo:  Unfortunately if I don't wash my hair everyday it gets incredibly oily so I have been in search of an affordable dry shampoo that wont leave my hair feeling gross.  This product is only $3.00 at Walgreens! Can't beat that! And it works great!  I just spray a little on my roots and brush my hair out and it's like I just washed my hair.  It can be found here online.

7.  Billabong California Love Shirt:  I recently went shopping for some summer clothes and after stalking this Billabong California love shirt online for months I had to go into Tilly's to see if they still had it.  I am proud to announce that I got the very last one in my Tilly's!  It's no longer at Tilly.com either although if you like the shirt, you never know some stores may still have it in their sell section!

8.  Silk Elements Heat Protection Spray:  I went on a bit of an online shopping spree on SallyBeauty.com and I bought this heat protectant spray for $7.99.  I've really loved it, I spray it before I do any heat treatment on my hair and not only does it protect my hair but it makes it incredibly silky and smells nice.  When I first used it I thought it was making my hair a bit greasy but after brushing my hair and styling it my hair didn't look greasy at all, it was just super soft.  I would definitely recommend it.  Not to mention it is now on sale for only $4.99 at SallyBeauty.com.

9.  H&M Bird Print Jersey Top:  I bought this top at H&M a couple weeks ago; the number one reason I bought it was because I don't have anything that looks like it.  It's not exactly something I would normally buy but I've been feeling like I should branch out in my style.  I just walked past it when I was first looking around the store but then when I came back to it I though, "I could make this work" so, I bought it and I'm glad I did.  Like I said, it's different than anything I own and it's a perfect, light, summer top.  I did not see it on H&M.com currently but it still may be in some stores.
