Today's

Hello everyone! I'm just going to give you a quick update of how my day has been so far. I woke up today around 10 am feeling a little tired after going out with some friends last night :). So I did my laundry (finally) haha. I was so good about doing every week last year But I've moved up to about every week and a half to two weeks. I guess that really isn't bad compared to some people, but for me it's weird. Then I had to get ready and look super cute for my sorority's Sprite Date today at 1 pm (Sprite Dates are where the girls who are considering going through rush can come and just casually chat with some of the girls in the sororities). That was a little bit rushed with curling my hair and doing more makeup than I normally ever wear haha. But I think I turned out looking relatively decent, so all was well haha. The theme was Bonnaroo, like the music festival, but we did a play on words and called Bonna Mu (because we're Phi Mu soo punny haha). But it was super cute theme! We had brightly colored and crazy patterned tapestries hanging on the walls, a bunch of pictures hanging from twine like you see on pinterest, and my cake pops were a huge hit!! I was sooo excited! The few of my sisters who got to taste some were so complimentary. It just made me so happy :). Totally blushing haha. Tonight is date night with my boyfriend. It's been awhile since we have been on a really date, so this should be fun. I get to look all nice and pretty :). I might take pictures we'll see. But have a great rest of the day! Hugs <3

Vanilla Cake Pops

Hello everyone! I totally meant to get this post out yesterday, but these little cuties took waayyy longer than I expected. And this is only one tray of them! So this was my first attempt at making cake pops. And to be honest, I think they turned out pretty well. I did a lot of research on them before I made them, so that probably helped a lot. There is a lot waiting for things to cool and waiting until the cake balls reach room temperature that took longer than I anticipated. But the final result is super cute! These are for an event tomorrow for my sorority. I can't wait! I used a really simple yellow cake recipe, the buttercream would've been way easier if I had a mixer haha, and then dipping chocolate from the grocery store. So nothing super fancy. Hope you guys enjoy!

First Day of Fall Outfit

Good morning everyone! I decided to take pictures this morning again. I think I will really start doing this more often, at least on my busy days. There is no one walking around, so I don't feel awkward posing in front of a tripod haha. I have just enough time to get ready, take the pictures, edit them, and get a post out to you :). This will be especially great for Wednesdays because I have almost no time during the day to even eat.

Here is the outfit I decided to photograph for the first day of fall. I honestly don't think it gets much more basic white girl than this haha. But this outfit really is super cute! I absolutely love this color for fall, and I cannot wait to be able to wear these boots again!! I seriously think I wore them almost every day last year throughout the fall and winter.

Dress from American Eagle, Scarf from Aerie, Boots from Francesca's Collection.

Casual

Hey hey! So today is going to be a little bit hap hazard as far as my schedule. I really have no idea what I want/need to do today, and how I will fit everything in. But hey, sometimes playing things by ear is good. So this morning I skipped the usual workout to take these pictures. But I will definitely need to fit that in at some point, otherwise I definitely go crazy. I'm actually considering going to the gym right after I write this post...we'll see haha. But taking pictures in the morning is something that worked well today, so maybe I'll do it again :). It was pretty chilly out this morning, so I took these inside. That's the only that I don't like about this time of year; when you wake up you need pants and sweater, but as the day goes on you can put on shorts and t-shirt because it gets so warm. But the lighting actually wasn't terrible, so I was pretty happy with that :). And the great room I was using has some pretty, old furniture and a grand piano, so I would definitely love to get some cozy pictures there in the winter.

I hope you are all having a great day. Hugs <3

Business Casual

Good morning! So today I thought I'd give you an outfit post that's a little different than normal. I had to dress up this week for some interviews, so of course I took some pictures. I actually really love when I get to dress up in business casual or business attire. It makes me feel like I'm an actual adult and in charge haha. I get to dress up for the second round of interviews again today, so I'll be sure to send you some pictures of that later this week :). I'm actually a little sad right now because I am unable to go to my sisterhood retreat today :/. I was really excited for it. They are having it a camp that is close by and has a huge zip-line I really wanted to try! But it'll be okay because I can get some blog and school work done now. Forcing me to be productive :/ haha.

Have a great Sunday! Hugs <3

Rise and Shine

Good morning! Gosh it feels so good to say that again. It's been a very long time (or so it seems) since I have been able to say that to you guys. I just finished some abs and yoga, so I'd say that's a pretty good start to the day :). It's been awhile since I have been able to do yoga, and my legs have been super tight lately. So it was definitely time to get some stretching in. Today is Friday!! Finally!! This week has been super long and busy and crazy. I'm just ready for the weekend already :). I have a bunch of fun activities planned with my sorority this weekend. We're going to a camp for a day. There will be zip lines and a whole bunch of other outdoorsy fun, so I'll bring you guys along and get some great pictures, hopefully. We can also print them out and post them on the wall in our suite too! Phi Mu Phun...lol. Anyway, have a great day everyone! Hugs <3

The Essentials

Good afternoon! So this week has been super long and busy with just everything. But finally I have some time to breathe today. So that means getting some blog work done :). I say blog work, but really this is my fun. I love writing to you guys, getting my thoughts down on paper, and I love taking cool pictures haha. Blogging is just something that allows me to be creative, play with outfits, and look back on memories. I just love it :)

So today I have a meeting with the study abroad office! I am soo exited!! I seriously cannot contain myself! One thing I absolutely love is traveling. I love seeing new places, experiencing different cultures, eating every kind of food (seriously put almost anything in front of me and I will try it haha). If everything works out, I'm hoping a trip to Europe??!! I absolutely love European fashion. Actually, all of the other bloggers I follow are European haha. It's so clean and classic, but unafraid of new trends. That's the one thing I find Ohio is terrible at doing; adopting new fashion trends. I seriously get weird looks when I go out around campus in my boyfriend jeans. And I'm here like, "Guys! These are trendy and way more comfortable than skinny jeans!" I love my comfort haha. But anyway, I hope I get to travel places :) Hugs <3
