Thanksgiving 2015
Happy Thanksgiving little turkeys! It's hard to believe that this day is here so fast, but even weirder to think that Christmas is only 28 days away... yeah. That means I actually have to start looking for Christmas presents. This Thanksgiving we all gathered together and ate a great meal like we usually do. We watched the Lions crush the Eagles and it was a super fun day. I wore this incredibly soft and warm sweater with my new booties that I can not seem to stop wearing. And it seems that I wear this scarf every Thanksgiving, like last year's post, but it's just so festive. Also, my jeans are green... I swear. They are emerald green. But they look black in these pictures. Tomorrow's Black Friday so everybody be safe and be kind!
p.s. Gap is having a 50% off everything sale for today until the end of Friday! So scoop up these amazing jeggings for only $35.

The Proposal
It has been a long time my readers. But for good reason. I GOT ENGAGED!!!! So that kind of changed all of the plans that I had for this week. I am still in shock and can't believe that I am finally in this stage of my life. But at the same time, I am so excited about it. Over the past few days, pretty much every single person I have told in person, whether I know them that much or not, has asked me one question: how did he do it? So in order to save you guys some time, and to brag on my fiance a bit, here is a little bit about how he proposed.

DIY No-Carve Pumpkin
If you're like me, you love picking out pumpkins and decorating them for Halloween or fall. But not everyone doesn't like the part that comes next - figuring out how you're going to decorate it and then cleaning it out to carve. Personally, I love decorating pumpkins every which way but that it not for everybody. Last weekend while I was at the pumpkin patch (see this post on my visit and outfit), I grabbed a few extra so that I can show you guys some other ways to decorate your orange fruits (yes, pumpkins are fruits).
I love to paint, so obviously, my first no carve idea was to paint my pumpkin. But there are many ways to decorate your pumpkin without carving it! You can paint it, string stuff on it, put pushpins on it, monogram it, etch stuff on it, and I'm sure there's way more.
If you're late in the decorating pumpkin game like I am this year, you know that three days before Halloween is a terrible time to find pumpkins. The only ones out are gross. But after searching long and hard for some pretty ones, I found the pumpkin jackpot at Publix. They had some awesome large pumpkins at the front for only $6, but they also had an assortment of tiny pumpkins. I got a pack of 3 mini pumpkins for $5, and that is the orange pumpkin and black pumpkin you see below. I also got the cutest white pumpkin for only $1. Yeah, only one buckaroo - it doesn't get any better than that. They have lots of colors and sizes in pumpkins and gourds. So hit up your nearest Publix if you still need some cute decorations for the holidays.

Leopard and Maroon
Welcome back to the blog you guys! You might have noticed it looking a bit different, a new July font, and an awesome floral header. After a year, I figured it was finally time to get a new look, one that was more like me. I like this modern but still a little girly look. Let me know what you guys think!
Today's post is an awesome combination of fall colors. Maroon is my number one fall color this year, so I paired it with my my number one leather jacket. These jeans are the most comfortable and easiest to pair with anything jegging from Gap. They are their new Resolute Jean which has an elastic waist. At first, I thought an elastic waist was not for me, but after trying them on, I fell in love. I have always had a problem with the button of my jeans sticking out making it see-able through my shirt. But with these elastic waist, my problem disappears. So don't dismiss things you see in the store just because you think it won't look good on you or you think it's just for pregnant women - you might be surprised.

Autumn Navy Gingham
It is officially FALL! Now, spring and summer are my absolute favorite seasons, but fall is next. Being able to throw on tights, booties, and a scarf makes getting dressed a whole lot easier. So you might notice something about these pictures... I dyed my hair RED! It is the first time I've had it red since high school. my favorite red, burgundy, so it's more of a purple red which looks great on us white girls.
So if you haven't noticed, I love skirts - they are so girly but can also be dressed down. Now, let's talk about this gingham shirt! One of my favorite ways to wear button downs are to tie them in a cute little bow, pair it with this awesome flared skirt and you've got an outfit. Now, I will say, if you're looking at this outfit and thinking, "I could never pull that off," I am here to tell you - YOU ARE WRONG! Everyone can pull off anything, you just have to pair it with the right things and always stay true to your style. P.S. If you want to meet a woman with some curves and major style, here is Gabifresh, one of my new favorite bloggers to follow along with.

Almost-Fall Stripes
We are so close you guys... 2 weeks from this past Wednesday, it will officially be F A L L ! Not that it mean it'll get cold in Georgia, that usually doesn't come until late October. So how do I transition my wardrobe in those really awkward few weeks? One of the easiest ways I do this is by throwing a vest over my summer dress. To step it up a notch, I also put on a cute felt hat and some awesome booties. Having a great fall bootie is a staple in every girls closet - dress them up or down, they are always perfect. I've linked a bunchh down below so make sure to check them out.
