Happy Sunday Everyone!

These Boots Are Made For Walkin...

...and thats just what they'll do! One of these days these boots are going to walk all over OU! Haha I couldn't resist!

Thank you Nancy Sinatra!

Here they are! They are everything I wanted! Can't wait for it to cool down so I can actually wear them! It is still in the 100's here. Except for today it was a glorious 88 degrees! So here's hoping that this is sign that things are going to start to cool down.

Surprise! I picked up these today on a shopping run to TJMaxx with my Mommy. She thought they were a little out there, but that is why I love them! 

These babies are ready for leggings and cool weather and so am I. Seriously... not to sound repetitive, but it would be nice to walk outside at 9AM and not immediately break a sweat or come down with heat exhaustion! Walking to class has been an absolute nightmare. Thank goodness it's the weekend! I'll give you a sneak peak at what I'll be doing this weekend....

This is just the white primer.

...cannot wait for this bad boy to be done and back in the house. I'm going to let it air out in the backyard for a couple of days and then I'll be back with the big reveal. Stay tuned :)

I'm Bringing School Back... What?

It's that time of year again.... BACK to School!

I'm in college and still get excited for the first day of classes. Is that weird? No. I didn't think so. 

As always I bought some new school supplies from Target! I'm the kind of girl that gets a little over zealous about school supplies like binders, planners, neon post-its, but then I forget the essentials like oh I don't know... paper!

The two binders are from Target, the planner is an Erin Condren planner, and I picked up these fun little Post-It notes at Walgreens!

Yes, I was the one in class writing notes in my planner/on printer paper the first couple days of class.

 Back to school is like New Years for me. I always make resolutions ranging from staying organized to purging my closet of worn out items in order to make room for comfy fall fashions. Can I tell y'all how much I love fall clothes? I love leggings with tunics and boots. It's like my favorite outfit combo of all time! I'm also obsessed with scarves so it's pretty rare to see me awake out of the house without one on. I've been eyeing these pieces from Old Navy, Target, and Forever21.

Cream Blouse: Old Navy Deep Red Skinnies: Old Navy Coral Polka Dot Scarf: Old Navy Black Sweater Tunic: Old Navy Pink Dress: Old Navy BP Boots: Nordstrom Orange Red Dress: Target Black Leggings: Target Leopard Dress: Old Navy Red Leggings: Target Metallic Cream Floral Scarf: Forever21

FYI this is not a sponsored post. I'm just dreaming about my Fallalala wardrobe all up on this blogeezy! Did I just combine a Christmas carol and gangsta?  Sorry about that. Not guaranteed it won't happen again :)

On the style front, I'm all about buying basics and then layering with jewelry, scarves, and outerwear. Sometimes I like to challenge myself to see how many outfits I can make out of just a couple of basics. Fall clothing is great when it comes to getting a lot out of a couple of items. On a side note I did just purchase the BP boots and I'm super psyched because they get in tomorrow! I'll let y'all know what I think! 

First Comes Love... Then Comes The Bridal Shower!

I am tickled pink that the bridal shower went off without a hitch! From Flowers... To Food... To Favors.... What a whirlwind!

(Note to self find missing eyebrows...)

I truly believe that showers are all about the tiny little details that go into making a special day for someone. Not to mention they can make the big picture that much sweeter :)

For food we had a veggie, fruit, cheese, and turkey roll-up bar.

For games we kept the laughter flowing from guessing fun facts about the Bride in a pop quiz to the ever popular make a bridal gown out of toilet paper game. {I never thought I would be writing the word toilet paper on my blog}

Making a veil out of toilet paper is not an easy task people!

This shower had sort of a cooking theme added to it, so we all brought the Bride a recipe from our cookbooks at home and we wrote little words of inspirations and advice on wooden spoons to give her a Recipe for A Good Marriage!

Next up is presents, party favors and more! 

Peachy Keen

Today I made peach ice cubes. So refreshing! There is a great recipe on Miss Paula Deen's website here. While Miss Deen is a fabulous cook, I skipped the sugar and lemon and let the peaches do all the work. I simply mashed up two peaches and put them in the ice cube tray, then let them freeze for a couple hours. Two peaches made about ten ice cubes. 

There were ups and downs to these peach ice cubes....

I loved how they smelled and they gave my iced tea a little citrus-y tanginess that was pretty yummy. It also didn't hurt that they were too cute!

The down side is that after a while your iced tea gets all pulpy. Not my fav thing! 

All in all they were super cute and refreshing you just have to drink, drink, drink before your iced tea turns into a pulpy mess! If anyone knows any tips to not end up with pulpy drinks shout them out!!

Girls Weekend

Last weekend all of the girls headed up to Grand Lake for some fun in the sun! 

We laid out, we swam, and we ate like there was no tomorrow... mini cinnamon rolls, cookies, crackers, lasagna, turkey sandwiches and so much more! 

All this glorious fattening food made me crave a good ole fashion Summer salad complete with chopped romaine, organic tomatoes, croutons, parmesan cheese, caribbean jerk marinated chicken and yummy creamy caesar dressing. 

{Sorry for the blurry IPhone photo, but it was spur of the moment!}

Any other Summer Salad lovers out there? Which fresh ingredient makes your mouth water? I can't resist a juicy tomato!

Psss: {I'm so excited because this weekend myself along with all of Shelby's bridesmaids will be hosting a bridal shower in her honor! Tomorrow I'll give you a sneak peek at the color scheme and inspiration, make sure to stop by!}

Bridal Shower Sneak Peek

I'm back today with a sneak peek of the bridal shower that I have been working on for my friend Shelby. The count down is officially on! The bridal shower is this weekend and the wedding is closing in on only a month away! AH! I'm so excited! The bridal party has all been working on this fabulous soiree and I can absolutely not wait until the big day! 

Okay enough exclamation points.... down to business. 

The color scheme was very fun and Summery: Pink, Yellow, and Black and White. 

We drew inspiration from..... You guessed it Pinterest!
