Little Words, Lots Of Pictures.


It's been a while since I've shared some recent obsessions and life happenings. I blame it on still being in "vacation mode" and not being able to get back into the groove of things. I'm trying to change that this week and be productive, so let's start with today.


1. Weddings

They are just so fun, don't you think? If you don't, I will gladly escort you to one of my weddings and make you break it down on the dance floor with me. ;) This past weekend we had our first wedding of the season. It was an outdoor wedding under a tent (which was beautiful) and my best friend Lindsay and I barely came off the dance floor, except to get more wine of course (priorities for dancing). Good times, good times. I wore this Express dress that I got for only $12.00 from MJR Sales. 


2. Fancy Black Blouses


With all of the colored denim and neon workout clothes in stores this summer, sometimes I feel refreshed when just sticking to black. Especially when they have some beautiful details on them like dots or a pearl collar (from F21).


I recently got this metallic black top with gold dots on it, from Shop Miss Chic. This top is so versatile and I love how it fits.  Haven't heard of Shop Miss Chic? You better hop on over and shop your hearts out. The clothes are affordable and they get stocked weekly which means you won't see 50 other girls out and about in your same top. 

A little bonus if you like the top I'm wearing: 
Use the code "KeepCalm10" (case sensitive) for 10% off the top. 


3. Football Season


{and since I got some questions before on instagram-yes, that is Ali from the Bachelor in the top right pic..}



This one is a no brainer. You all know my love for the Ohio State Buckeyes. Since we were in California for the opening game, this past weekend was our first one tail gaiting for it. I know you've heard it before from others, but it's definitely my favorite time of year. It turned out to be a beautiful fall day, so I opted for comfort and wore leggings with a long tank and a vintage Ohio State sweatshirt. We came away with a win and after the game I crashed. Isn't that always how it goes? Football season is also a lovely reminder of how old I feel like I'm getting. 

4. Fall decorations

This past weekend I got the chance to unpack some of our fall decor from the basement and put away the summer items. There is nothing better than fall decor. The picture above is the new centerpiece for our kitchen table right now and I'm really loving it!


Has anyone tried Bath and Body Works wallflower scent called "Autumn Day"? Pure HEAVEN, I tell you. Buy it and your husband will tell you 5x per day how awesome your house smells. Along with fall scents, Scenty's "Apple Pie" is pretty remarkable. It gives off the impression to others that you just baked for 5 hours in the kitchen, and at the same time makes you want to eat 24/7. Worth it.

5. My Sunday Funday sweatshirt

Forever21 made me really happy when they made this one. Not only is it the softest sweatshirt I own but every time I go in public with it on, it always makes someone laugh! Love that.



What are you recent obsessions?
Tell me one thing (or 5) that you love lately so I can try it out!

Don't forget to use the 10% off code for the metallic black top.

Tomorrow? 
We're discussing wine and what happens when a vino like myself visits Napa Valley.
 Hope you're as excited as I am!

xo.

  8. I love the dress you wore to that wedding and $12?!?! Hello amazing!!!
    I am so glad it is finally football season! I wish I lived close enough to Knoxville to tailgate every weekend. I guess I will stick to booze on the couch while yelling at the TV.

  9. yay for football season! I love your sweatshirt, I really want the old navy vintage Duke one. I gotta say though I can't even imagine being able to wear a sweatshirt to a football game. If I went to a football game, I would most likely be getting suburned now and in october!
