November Favorites

1 || 2 || 3 || 4

Not to start off on a crappy note, but boy does my back hurt!! I was woken up at 3 AM by an awful pain in the area of my left shoulder blade and was only able to to muster as mere 4 hours of sleep last night. I don't know what I did to mess up my shoulder. So in the chance you were run into me today, don't mind my less than friendly behavior...it's not you, it's definitely me.

Anyway, it's Wednesday which means it's time for my favorite link up with Ashlynn at Let It Be Beautiful and Kristen at Fancy Things. This weeks theme for Four Favorites is November Favorites! There's a lot to love when it comes to November and the season in general:

1. M.A.C. lipstick in Rebel! If the month was a color it would be this one. I love how deep the color is and how it pretty much would go with everything I wear during the fall.

2. Those flats up there are an obsession of mine and I must track them down! You know how I feel about leopard and leather: I am a full supporter!!

3. Hats in November and fall are a must as well! I love the hat above as well as beanies and cloches. 

4. All sugary and caffeinated beverages! I am pretty sure that during this month I am paying Starbucks' electric bill. Also, yesterday I ventured into Peet's and tried their Cinnamon Gingerbread Latte...yum! I will probably be frequenting that establishment as well.

Blog Post I Love Today

So this morning before class I was going through my blog feed and I came across this gem from Carly at The College Prepster. What does your favorite Starbucks drink say about you? As a daily coffee drinker and someone who has had one or two (or fifty) Starbuck's drinks in my life I was curious to see what my Skinny Vanilla Latte would expose about me. To my surprise it was a very apt description of me; classic but fun. Crazy that you could deduce something like that from the kind of drink you get at Starbucks, right?! See if your order is there and comment with what you thought of the accompanying description. Is it right?

Fall Faves

Getting this entry out of the way early today since I have a couple of papers to finish, one more class later, and tonight is Nightmare in the Quad! I have to go down for that early to help with costumes and makeup. Picture it: Last night. My dorm. 2 hours of me learning how to make someone look like a zombie. I feel like I might be prepared now! Hopefully I can go through Haunted Holland (my dorm's haunted house!) I have heard it is actually pretty creepy since it is set up in the tunnels under the quad. Spoooooooky!

Since we are well in to the autumn season I will embrace all cliches and announce to the masses what autumn means to me and why I find it to be an absolutely lovely season in this top 5 list.

5. Riding Boots

I love a good boot! It just doesn't feel right wearing them any other time of the year. 

4. Scarves

As I have stated before in the a blog post dedicated entirely to the scarf, I find them to be essential at this point in the year both aesthetically and for warmth. Fashion and function!

3. Leather Jacket

I like these because they aren't too heavy (not like a big winter coat!) They are more appropriate for the crisp, not so freezing weather that comes with autumn. Plus now, you can get them in so many colors!

2. Pumpkin Spice Latte

Really...what kind of human would I be if this wasn't on the list? I am not a massive flavored coffee fan but I would do some crazy things to get my hands around a warm cup of this! Starbuck's PSL is my Klondike Bar!

1. A Great View

Pitt in fall! I get to walk to class like this? I'm okay with that I guess. :)

Basically, I have just painted for you a picture of my ideal autumn moment. What I would be wearing, drinking, and looking at. I love this season so much; it's just so beautiful.
