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.

Four Favorites + A Beautiful Day

Print || Door Hanger || Umbrella || Nail Polish

Happy Hump Day everybody! The weather in Pittsburgh today is the stuff of legend--seriously it is GORGEOUS outside. Honestly I think the sun and warmth are responsible for my good attitude; I have an exam today...I should not be this peppy! Anyway, we're halfway through the week which means it's time to link up with Let It Be Beautiful and Fancy Things for Four Favorites! This week is random favorites. Here are a few of the things that have caught my eye in the past few weeks. 

- I don't think there is anyone who doesn't love Stephanie Sterjovski's prints. I love this one from her holiday collection. Also just made available are prints done with Glitter Guide which I already love as well!

- The door hanger says it all. This applies to my entire semester: if I could be in Paris rather than in class that would be ideal.

- This Burberry umbrella is definitely out of my budget, but that doesn't mean I can't stare at it online for hours. Burberry + leopard = wonderful!

- Fall is here which means my nails are going deep: blues, reds and greens. Bordeaux is my favorite nail color to wear in the fall!

I hope you all have a lovely day!

Four Favorites: Fall Trends

striped || leather || metallic || leopard

Can you believe we're already halfway through the week?! In my experience, that's the sign of a good week--one that moves along! Today I am linking up with Ashlyn at Let It Be Beautiful and Kristin over at Fancy Things for the Four Favorites link-up! As you can probably tell by how much I participate, this is one of my favorite link-ups! This week's theme is favorite fall trends. I've talked about leopard and leather enough (that post here!) but also on my radar are stripes, especially in sweaters, and metallics. At first I wasn't a fan of the metallic thing--made me think of that move Zenon and those outfits!--but it has definitely grown on me. I'm actually going shopping later this evening; maybe I will pick up a few of these trends!

Favorite Fall Trends

Leopard: pumps || scarf || bag

Leather: boots || jacket || watch

Happy Monday everybody!

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend; I know I did! We won our football game this weekend (way to show up this week, Panthers!) and I spent TONS of time with my friends. Granted we were studying...but it was very nice nonetheless. Despite the beautiful fall-ish weather I did get a mighty face sunburn at the game which I hope to God will peel soon.

Anyway, speaking of fall I wanted to discuss my favorite fall trends with you today! I am all about the leather and leopard this season! Usually, I tend toward soft, girly and simple and stay away from a lot of prints, but leopard is really working on stealing my heart. Now, I don't think I will be rocking a leopard bodysuit any time soon, however I definitely would rock this fierce print on an accessory. I desperately want a pair of leopard pumps! Leather is also a little strange for me since I have always seen myself as far from edgy. If you remember from my first day of class post I did manage to work some leather details into my outfit with my vest from rue21. I have been eying leather skirts and I am in need for some new boots :)
