Chilly Nights and Spooky Sites...The One About Fashion.

I absolutely adore everything about fall, except for the sudden spike in sickness.  I'm actually sick right now.  For like the second time in the past few months!  On the bright side, I can devote some time to blogging!  I especially love all the fall fashion.  It's lovely... :)

I thought that I would just go over a few of my favorite trends/pieces for the chilly weather.  In no specific order, let's get started!

1.  Beanies!

My number one must have for the cold weather is a warm hat.  Beanies just always seem to do the trick!  With all of the different styles and colors to choose from, they never seem to get old.  I love the selection at Forever 21 right now.  Here's a few pics from the site...

A fun print like the stripes or a bright color will always make an outfit really pop.  I actually own the pink purl knit one.  It's so cozy and warm to wear on a day you want to be outside and in the cold weather.  I love how affordable these pieces are and how much they add to an outfit.

2.  The Ugly Christmas Sweater (sort of...)

Everyone loves their big knit sweaters for the holidays!!  I love making a Christmas sweater look cute by wearing it with different accessories and hairstyles.  Pinterest really has its ways of making everything look cute, so I'll leave a picture below for you to swoon over :).

Isn't it gorgeous?  It looks soo comfy and warm. Let's just snuggle. Now.

3.  UGG Boots

Okay, first I have to be honest with you.  I don't own UGGs.  I own fuggs (fake UGGs).  I know, I'm just so lame.  But honestly, I'd rather not spend like 100 dollars on a pair of shoes that I'm bound to ruin at some point in the near future.  However, I do have a pair of Bearpaws that look exactly like UGGs.  I have to warn you first that if you get a pair of these, they will never come off of your feet.  I keep telling people they feel like pillows.  I don't care if they're not the cutest boots, they are furry and heavenly.  I'm in love.  I've been wearing my pair of navy ones for the past week nonstop. Would you like a peek?

I actually got these boots on sale at ROSS for like 27 dollars or something crazy like that.  They are about 60 dollars retail, so I was happy to find these. 

4.  Stripes

Okay guys, this has to be my absolute favorite trend for the fall time.  I have this really cute striped sweater I like to wear for the colder days that is probably my favorite shirt.  I just think you really can't go wrong with stripes.  My favorite way to style them is with a chunky scarf and a cute black skirt with maroon leggings.  It's absolutely adorable and so stylish.  It reminds me of Taylor Swift for some reason.  I gotta get my Tay Tay on!!! :)

Isn't it precious?  If I could I would wear this every day.  I'm in love!

Well, it looks like that's about all I have for today.  Did I miss any?  What are your thoughts about this season's styles?  I want to know!  Make sure to follow my blog so we can keep in touch!

Before I leave, I'll link below my current favorite song.  And guess what it's from? Take Me Home!!!! That's right, 1D's new album is officially out!  Listen away, and don't be afraid to abuse the repeat button.  If it makes you feel better, I had to too!

Much Love,

Chilly Nights and Spooky Sights...October Rewind!

Hey guys!  Guess what time it is?! Favorites!!!! Let's party together :).  Another wonderful month we've made it though!  One more month closer to Thanksgiving and Christmas!  By this time next month I'll be singing along to Jingle Bell Rock on the radio! 

I'm sitting here with my big cup o' peach tea all comfy cozy!  It's a nice fall night down here in the south.  So, before we get into all the fun things I've been loving this month, I have an important announcement.  Do you remember that other blog I had?  The one that had all of the recipes and tutorials and stuff?  Well, it's been at the spa getting a makeover and it'll be back soon!  I can't wait for you to see everything I've been working on!

Alright, so let's just get into it!

1.  Drink

So, if you haven't noticed, I like tea a lot.  Especially peach tea.  We've been getting this fruit tea sampler from Celestial.  There is cherry, raspberry, peach, and probably something else.  It's amazing.  It smells like heaven peed in a cup. Just kidding. That's gross.  More like peaches and goodness.  Its perfection.

2.  Song

Well this has become a very hard decision.  Incredibly difficult.  After lots and lots and lots of thought I think I've narrowed it down.  I know this song is pretty old. but it is perfect.  Future husband - we are playing this at our wedding!  This song is called Marry You by Bruno Mars.  I love his voice and all of his songs! This one is no exception.

3.  YouTuber

This next favorite of mine is so incredibly talented!  His name is Arthur Garros.  He does covers of songs on his channel.  I love his voice and music taste.  I'm going to leave his version of The A Team by Ed Sheeran below.  Remember the guy I talked about from my last post? Yes, that guy!  I'll also link his channel if you want to subscribe or check out his other stuff.

Story Time!!! So I was on my Twitter one day the other week and stuff when I followed Arthur.  I had just found his channel and was really enjoying his music.  When he tweeted about his new cover, I decided to tweet him saying how much I liked it.  Then, this miracle happened.  He retweeted AND tweeted me.  I was literally running around my room like a maniac.  It was priceless.  I even took a pic (notice the 1D background...)  Perfection.  Oh, Mom, that's the good news I never got to tell you.

4.  Movie

Usually, I don't watch enough movies to even post about one.  However, this month I did watch some. Aside from all of the Halloweentowns, I watched a movie called She's the Man.  It's got Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum in it.  We actually watched this movie in Language Arts class, since it is based off a Shakespeare book.  We are reading Twelfth Night in class and my teacher thought it would be a good idea to watch it.  Aside from Channing being shirtless in almost every scene, it was hilarious.  I couldn't contain myself.  I'll leave the trailer below.  I don't think it was a great choice to show in an 8th grade classroom, but I've seen worse... keep that in mind.

5.  Food

I think I have mentioned this in a recent post, but I'll tell you again.  I have been completely obsessed with these seasonal pumpkin spice waffles from Eggo.  It tastes sooo good.  If you put some syrup on it, you will fall in love.  I'm afraid that they will go away after this month!  Last time we went shopping, we stocked up on them :).  I don't know what I'll do when they're gone.

Well, it looks like I've gone over everything!  Let me know what some of your favorite stuff from this month was!  I'd love to know!

Happy Election Day & Much Love,

Red

It's time.  It's been promised, and I like to keep my promises.

I thought that before we begin reviewing the songs, we should pay attention to her style.  Taylor is known for her red lips, winged eyeliner and seemingly flawless skin.  I would categorize her style as chic and modest.  Her good reputation still reigns over her fellow singer/songwriters.  She has become a style icon and role model for many young girls, like me.  Plus, she writes some pretty darn good songs!

She has definitely grown up since some of her first songs.  Her style and sound have matured and improved.  She has become an individual.  Also, did you notice her hair?!  Instead of sticking with her famous curls, she has started to straighten her hair and then curl it again.  I think it really fits her new style, but I'm sad to see her change it up!

I thought that I would just link the track-list below and talk about some of my personal favorites from the album (even though every one of them is gorgeous).  Click on a few to try them out.  It won't take you away from the blog, just open a new window.

19.  Girl At Home

I tried not to link the pitched version of the songs, but I apologize if I accidentally did.  It's hard to find the real version now a days with YouTube becoming so strict!  So I wanted to just talk about a few of my favorite songs from her album.

Okay, so my absolute favorite one of hers off this album would have to be "I Knew You Were Trouble".  It's a very upbeat song, different than her usual style.  This one and "22" are considered more pop than country.  I love them both, because of how catchy they are.  They just stick in your brain very easily.

Another one I've loved listening to is "Red".  It's the title track of this album and you may have also heard it in a recent Target commercial.  I think it has the most even mix of country and pop.  It's very much like what we think of as Taylor.  The lyrics are so meaningful and real.

The last one I'll talk about is "Everything Has Changed".  First and foremost, it's got Ed Sheeran.  Ed freaking Sheeran.  I'm in love :) If you don't know who he is, he is a British singer/songwriter who, like Taylor, is considered one of the best.  He actually wrote Little Things by One Direction.  I'll leave that down below.  He is amazing!  This song is so simple and catchy.  Like all of Ed's songs, it has a solemn feel to it, but still lovable.  I definitely recommend it.

The tracks above are from the deluxe edition (available at Target).  Check it out and support Taylor if you like the songs.  The album just made my Christmas wish list!

I hope you all have an amazing fall break!  I love you all!

Much Love,
