Rainy Day Styling
Friday
morning I woke up with one of the most annoying colds {colds in the summer are
by far worse to have than a winter cold} by Friday night I was dead tired. I
ended up staying inside all day Saturday because it was raining, I was tired,
and had a cold, so it was a perfect day to have a movie day. However, today if
I stayed in again I am pretty convinced I would get cabin fever. In Nashville
today it is still raining off and on and is a little chilly outside right now,
so I am all about being comfortable yet stylish today. Above is my rainy day outfit
inspiration I created on Polyvore. Click on the picture to be directed to the
website where you will be able to find all of the above items.

Happy National Bow Tie Day
If
there’s one thing men in the South can do well it’s tie a bow tie, so of course
National Bow Tie is near and dear to some down here. I have to admit I have a
weak spot for a man wearing a bow tie when it is worn in the right setting. I
hope all remembered to sport their bow tie for National Bow Tie Day but incase
you didn’t or are in need of a bow tie to add to the tie collection here are my
top bow tie picks!

Take A Deep Breath & Relax
Earlier
when I came home I was exhausted, I literally just wanted to sit down, be lazy,
and do nothing. I think it’s safe to say that when it comes to “lounge” clothes
everyone has a favorite combination that is their go-to hangout/relax outfit.
For me my favorite thing to put on to relax in is the Voile and Lace Trapeze
Slip from Free People paired with leggings and if it is a cold night I add a
cardi and some socks to my hangout outfit. Today when I came home I walked my
dog, took a shower, put on my favorite Voile and Lace Trapeze Slip with leggings,
of course, and let me tell you I was so exhausted I don’t think it has ever
felt so good to sit down, read a book, and just relax.
What do you do/wear to relax?

J. Crew Vintage Fall Covers
I used to
love getting the J. Crew fall catalog in the mail because of the magazine
covers that so perfectly capture the essence of fall whether it be books,
sweater, or the changing leaves. Not to sound like a grandmother but I am
partial to their older magazine covers just because they are so perfectly fall
and fun.

Hunter Boots
{via}
HunterBoots are probably the only pair of shoes that I wear year round and definitely
the only pair of boots that can be worn in the summer. A good pair of rain
boots is hands down a necessity. With fall right around the corner and school starting
back I strongly suggest you invest in a good pair of Hunter rain boots; you
won’t be sorry when you are trekking across campus on a rainy day or out
running errands, etc. I have found that one of the biggest struggles one seems
to face when purchasing their first pair of Hunter rain boots is deciding which
color to get. For your first pair of hunter rain boots I would stick to the
classic colors and fit and if you are one who appreciates a pop of color I
would go with red because, well… you really can’t go wrong with red. Here are
my top four color picks if it is your first time purchasing a pair of Hunter
boots!

My Night Time Routine
I am
always interested to read what others makeup, workout, bedtime, etc. routine
is; since I am in the process of getting ready for bed I thought it would be
fitting to share my night time routine.
1.
Every
night before I go to bed I take a long hot shower which helps me to unwind and
relax
2.
After
my shower I always opt for my most comfortable pair of pajamas that are
currently in my dresser. I have to admit when it come to my pajamas I probably
look a little on the nerdy side going to bed… I usually wear legging type
pajamas and than if it is really cold I wear a pair of socks that go up to at
least my knee cap.
3.
When
I am all showered and have my pajamas on I turn down my bed and slip under the
covers
4.
Once
in bed I check my email, facebook, instagram, other social media, and try to
write a blog post or two
5.
After
spending time on the computer I am usually a little wound up. To calm back
down, relax so I can have a peaceful nights rest I read for about 15-30 mins. I
just bought two new books today, The Vacationers and 2 A.M. at The Cat’s
Pajamas. I am debating which to read first, my level of excitement whenever I
buy a new book might be considered a little ridiculous
6.
When
I get to a state where I feel like I can fall asleep I close my book, check my
phone, set my alarm, and go off to dreamland.
