Wishlist Wednesday

Hey y'all, 

I cannot believe we are already halfway done with the week! Next week, classes start back on campus and I have no idea where the summer went. I hope you have all had a lovely start to your week and are excited for the weekend approaching. Since I am still working on getting back into the blogging world I thought I would just share a few items I am wishing for this week.

Wishlist Wednesday by postgradprep featuring black boots

Hunter Rain Boots.  While the weather today has been beautiful, the past week or so has seen a lot of storms. I think some plain rain boots would work perfectly for traipsing on campus between the parking deck and my office. 

if i stay. The trailer to this movie already has me crying so I think I need to grab the book quickly and read it before hitting the movies next week.

PJ pants. I love my Old Navy pj pants and I think this cute teal and pink seahorse print needs to be added to my collection. I love that the ON pj pants are long enough and I order a large so that they have a nice loose fit.

Sharpie pens. I love this time of year when you hit Target and there are school supplies everywhere. I love these pens to color code my agenda and I am keeping the colors consistent with my old planner but who doesn't love a new pack of pens?

Nike Running Top. I am still in the process of training for a half marathon in October. Luckily, I recruited my sister to join in on the running. Who doesn't like punny running tops?

Lilly Pulitzer Riley Infinity Scarf. With fall around the corner I am looking at grabbing a few more scarves. I love scarf weather and a bright and patterned scarf makes a statement with any outfit. Plus, why not join in on the tassel trend?

What is currently on your lust list? Have you read the book if i stay?

Things I'm Loving Thursday

Hey y'all,

I thought I would compile a list of ten things I am loving today. I know that sometimes we get so bogged down it is great to have a reminder of all the good things.

I'm loving...

...today is the start of Spring! Bring out the sundresses, sandals, Claritin and open the windows to enjoy fresh air and sun.

...speaking about Spring today's weather is beautiful! It is currently 59 degrees outside and I just want to go lay on the quad and enjoy the day.

...lunch dates with Katie Perk. I loved that I was able to catch up with this sweet girl. We enjoyed some McAllister's sweet tea and talked about all things movies, books, tv shows and life. I call that a great lunch hour.

...Divergent the film comes out tomorrow (well technically tonight at 8pm). I am currently trying to find time that my roommate and I can find to go see the film together.

...bridesmaid dress shopping for jCm is today! I am so excited to be Jenn's MOH and today myself and the other bridesmaids are going to check out some dresses.

...it's Big/Little week! While my family is not expecting a new addition it was still fun to go to chapter and enjoy the serenading boys while the little's got flowers from their bigs.

...these PJ pants from Old Navy are my favorite and some of them are on sale! I am trying really hard not to buy them all but they are the best!

...The NCAA tournament is underway! Do you have your bracket ready? Who are your final four?

...starting a new book. I started Love Starts with Elle the other day and I think I will be finishing it up shortly. I loved Once Upon a Prince and A March Bride, so I think this book will keep me occupied before I can find Princess Ever After at the library.  

...getting to see my baby sister kDi Saturday, possibly. My baby sister went home for her spring break last week and my parent's sent her back with a book and some Vera Bradley accessories my Mom grabbed at the Outlet that matched the duffel I got for my birthday. I think matching travel accessories are the best and while I have no travel plans in the future I am ready to have my set all together.

What are you loving today?

30 days of thanks {lazy Sundays}

Hey y'all,

So for today's 30 days of thanks I will have to include a love and lots of thanks for weekends at home with my parents especially when it includes a lazy Sunday with absolutely no plans. I am thankful for the busy days but there is nothing like a day of hanging around your childhood home, cuddling with kittens, sleeping in until 10am and reading. 

Lobster pjs are the best.

There really is nothing like a homecooked meal of steak and salad for dinner with sherbet for dessert. It was such a nice time at home being lazy and sleeping for 10+ hours every night. I love my parents and it reminds me that I need to take some time to have breaks for entire weekends. Between teaching Sunday School, babysitting, trying to have a social life I forget to take time for myself.

I hope you take the time to enjoy your weekends that have nothing planned.

Falling for Fall + Motivation Monday

via

Hey y'all,

I know that it isn't officially fall, but here in NC whenever the weather drops below 90 degrees for the majority of the week we are all excited. With beautiful weather comes dreaming of autumn staples. Currently I am enjoying this weather on the porch and checking out some of my fall favorites like:

Scarves. I seriously have a love for scarves. They are the perfect way to jazz up a neutral fall outfit with a bright color or print. Currently I am lusting for the Lilly Pulitzer NC Murfee State Scarf and the new Murfette Scarf in Bright Navy Tusk.

Who doesn't love elephants?

North Carolina Lovin'

Hot Chocolate & Tea. I do not drink coffee and don't like pumpkin so fall for me means a nice cup of tea in an adorable mug or to-go cup. I especially love the hot chocolate at Caribou and as far as tea goes my favorite is probably raspberry. A cup of tea and a book=this English major's perfect getaway.

Don't you think I need this mug?

Cardigans! Jeans+cardigans+riding boots=perfect fall outfit. My favorite cardigan ever is from LOFT which I got on clearance! But I am currently lusting over this sweater from Old Navy(let's hope it comes back online since my ON store has the slowest check out, last time I was there I gave up and walked out since I knew it would take forever to check out):

Old Navy Boat-Neck Sweater

Deep nail colors. Now typically I don't necessarily always fall the darker colors of nail polish in the fall/winter but this season I have been gravitating toward deeper colors. Next on my list of colors to paint will be butter LONDON's Royal Navy, which I picked up this morning at Ulta during their buy one get one free sale.

Gorgeous!

PJs! I love throwing on a pair of pj pants to lounge around in during the fall. Comfort=Fall to me. Other comfort picks would be sweatshirts and fuzzy socks.

Now here are some Pinterest finds for some Monday Motivation!
