Fall Favorites

It's FINALLY starting to feel (a bit) like fall here in Georgia, and I wanted to share some of my favorite fall pieces that I've been enjoying with you all!

I tweeted about my love for this jacket a while ago. Lana talked me into buying this jacket during a special sale at Heery's a couple months ago. I've never been a lover of rainy weather, but this jacket makes me enjoy it much more! Its very lightweight and has a silky inside shell. 

These pants should come as no surprise to anyone who knows me in real life. I've long been a lover of these pants, but I decided to branch out this year and get a gray and navy pair during one of J. Crew's 25% off sales. They can easily be dressed up or down, keep their shape, and do not stretch out. They're the perfect pants in my opinion. 

Even though I own a few too many pairs of Frye boots, I tend to always reach for these. They go with everything and are super comfy. In my opinion, Fryes are totally worth the money..unlike many of my other pairs of pricey shoes (I'm looking at you Tory Burch revas!!)  
I really enjoyed J.Crew Factory's 50% off sale last weekend. I was trying to check out Monday night before the sale ended at midnight, but the website was having some glitches. I went on to bed thinking it was a sign I wasn't supposed to buy anything. Fast forward to 3am when I woke up and was wide awake. I decided to check the site & see what the new promotion would be. I looked in my cart & to my surprise all of my items were still showing up at 50% off! I then saw that the new promotion was 30% off all tops, so I tried that code as well & it worked! I was so excited. I ended up getting a couple great blouses for less than $30 each!!

I'm planning to finish switching my closet over to my fall/winter items this week, and I cannot wait to pull out my fur vests and scarves. The temperatures this week range from the 40s-low 70s & I couldn't be more happy about that. I don't know how I didn't like cold weather when I was younger! I have been waiting for it to get cold since Labor Day now :)

I'll do a fall wish list post soon so be on the lookout for that as well! In the meantime, what are some of your fall favorites?

Life Updates

Life has been off the chain lately. I always log into my blog with plans to write a post, but seem to constantly get distracted.

I was not planning for this semester to be as busy as it has been, but unfortunately it seems my life consists of project upon project upon project. Why do teachers like giving projects so much?! Like why can't I just have a test and move on? It's driving me crazy. Okay, I'll stop venting now :)

I've also been pretty consumed on the weekends with tailgating and Georgia football games, but I am not complaining! The game against LSU last weekend was one that I will never forget. I've never been to such an exciting game at Sanford before. The energy between the fans and players was incredible. B & I are heading to Knoxville, Tennessee tomorrow for the GA/UT game. Ben's cousin, Morgan, is a student there and I'm so excited to see her! She is my twin...it's scary how much we are alike! 

UGA/UT game 2 years ago..the 1st time we met!
I ordered these booties a few weeks ago, but when they came in last week they were unfortunately too tight around my ankle and just looked silly :(. 

I didn't think I had large ankles, but according to my sister, they made my feet look like clown feet because they were so tight on my ankles. So sad, they are so cute! And I already ordered another color in them before I received the first pair because I thought they were going to be the perfect booties! Maybe the different color will fit better. Fingers crossed!! 
If anyone has some suggestions for other booties like this style send me your recommendations!! I am dying for a good pair. 

I guess it's time for me to get back to paying attention in class. I'm hoping to get better about updating this little blog...we'll see ;).
