Holiday Checklist

Now that Thanksgiving is over, the winter holiday season has finally started! I am the only one in my household who seems to get excited over putting up Christmas decorations: but hey, I'm fine with that- more fun for me! Every year, I like to make a checklist of things I would like to do during the month of December. Some of the things on the list are just for fun, and some are things I need to do.

I thought that it would be fun to share my list with you this year, so here we go!

Holiday Checklist

  • Make "Iced Gingerbread Cookies"
  • Drink Hot Chocolate on a cold day
  • See "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay"
  • Read Breakfast at Tiffany's and Yes Please

  • Work on finding some good statement necklaces
  • Go through closet; get rid of things I don't need/that don't fit
  • Purchase Hunter Boots (!!!)

La Clé Necklace!

On Prep on a Budget's blog, I won a giveaway for a La Clé Key Necklace a few days ago! If you don't know about this company, they make colorful key necklaces- each necklace color meaning something different. When the colors the key fade over time, you absorb the good energies and traits in the necklace!

I was super excited when I found out I won, and the package just came in today! I was so happy when I came home from a rough day at school (someone took my uniform shirt in gym- let's hope it was an accident :( ) to find this lovely package waiting for me on my desk.



Here we go....



I'm in love!!!

This necklace is just too cute, and I can't wait to wear it and show y'all some outfits I incorporate it with! Plan on seeing it some more on here ;) I would like to thank La Clé and Prep on a Budget for this awesome giveaway!

Fall Favorites!


The fall is my favorite time of the year: the air is crisp, there's always a slight breeze, and nature is just so beautiful as the leaves are changing colors and things are getting cooler. Another fun part of fall is all of the warm and beautiful clothing that comes with it. Sweaters, boots, and jeans galore! What more could a girl want? Here are some of my favorite articles of clothing for those of you seeking fashion advice this fall season:

1. Puffer Vests
Vests are, and have always been, one thing that I love about fall fashion. They can go with a polo, a button up, or a cable-knit sweater: vests look good with just about anything underneath. There are all kinds to choose from as well (puffer, fleece, etc.) . Here are a few of my favorites:

2. Crew-Neck Sweaters
I. Love. Crew. Neck. Sweaters. They are so cute, and look great with almost any bottoms. I more specifically like waffle weave or cable knit sweaters, but any kind is really great. It's good to have a few go-to solid colors,for when you want to pair them with patterned pants or are going for a very "basic" look, but it's great to have a couple patterned ones in your closet for some fun outfit combinations! Target, J.Crew, and Old Navy all have great sweaters in a wide array of colors and designs. A few of my favorites:


3. Boots
Any kind of boots, too. Some of my favorites are Riding, Hunter, and Bean boots! While boots can often be a costly addition to a girl's wardrobe, but they certainly don't have to be! Getting name-brand clothing isn't always necessary, especially when it comes to basics. Target, Madden, and plenty of others brands & stores often carry great riding boots, and Target also carries super cute rain boots. This goes to show that you don't have to wipe out your wallet to look nice!


These are not all of my fall essentials, but just a few on the list. If you would like to see more of my fall favorites, check out my Pinterest for some Fall Pinsperation  or my Fall Lookbook. Thanks for reading!
