Festive Pumpkin Pie!

 Yesterday I made this fun pumpkin pie for Christmas! I used extra pie crust and a gingerbread man cookie cutter to add something festive to a simple pumpkin pie. Put crust cut-out on cookie sheet in the oven for 10 minuets then place on pie. I also did on with a Christmas tree so cute!

Winter Vest.

I just got this DKNY vest! I thought it was cool because it is now edgy then what I usually wear, but it is super comfortable, warm, and causual. I am wearing a simple maroon top, jeans, black boots and a leather bag my mom brought back for me from Italy!  

Preppy.

Today I am wearing a casual preppy look. I am wearing a jean shirt with a white sweater both of which I found at Goodwill! :) I am wearing my favorite black cropped skinny jeans from the Loft (which I just got a job there last week! Yay!) My best friend and I found this vintage Dooney and Burke backpack at a garage sale for $10 last summer. I paired this outfit with a large pearl necklace, simple headband, and Sperry top slider shoes.

Guest post on A God Fashioned Life.

I had the opportunity to guest post on Allison Todd's blog A God Fashioned Life. Allison is not only a friend but happens to be my academic advisor at Oregon State University. I love her blog because it is honest and encouraging. I was thrilled when she asked me to guest post on "Tailored Tuesday's."

Snow Much Fun in a Sparkly Dress!

Here in Corvallis, a snow day is every college student's dream. We have finally a legitimate excuse to skip class, and spend a day frolicking outside with our friends. 

Between sledding, building snowmen, and drinking cocoa, I put together a Holiday outfit, perfect for the "holiday weather". I paired a sparkly dress from Forever 21, with black tights and tan booties, which you can't see cause we got so much snow! I don't know about you, but after today, I'm definitely dreaming of a white Christmas!

Hope you enjoy!

The Start of the Holiday (dress) Season!

Happy December First everyone! Now is the time to search for the perfect holiday dress. This is the first of a new series of posts dedicated to Holiday dresses. The best way to spread Christmas cheer is dressing fashionable through this time of year! :)

I wearing a dress from Nordstrom Rack, polka-dot tights from Gap, a red cardigan from a small boutique in Portland, Oregon. Make sure to add red lipstick and a big pearl necklace to complete the look.

Hope you enjoy!

Cozy on a cold day.

      

Winter is just around the corner and some days you just need to be warm and comfortable. Today I styled a pair of maroon cords, flannel top, and UGG boots. This weekend I was at Gap picking out a flannel shirt and was very disappointed in the women's flannel section. They were just thin cotton button downs. I needed something warm and soft so, the mens section it is. Men's Flannels are great because they are generally longer, thicker and bigger. 

Get this look:

Fall Layers.

Today was a beautiful fall day here in Corvallis. The leaves were perfectly red, and the air was crisp and chilly. As usual, the Oregon weather was changing every five minutes, but I managed to capture one of my favorite fall fashions between bouts of rain and cloud coverings.

As you may have guessed, fall is one of my favorite times of year. I love the changing of the leaves and the weather. Also, you just can't beat a warm cup of cider, a warm fire and a copy of InStyle. Besides my fall cider indulgences, I also enjoy fall layers. Fall is the perfect time to wear your favorite clothes, and the great thing is you get to wear more of them! In these pictures below, I paired one of my favorite scarves with a long black shirt, leggings and a military jacket. I also wore two fall staples; my Frye boots and tall socks. 

Hope you enjoy it!

Stay golden.

Comfy Causal Converse

Today I wore white converse with dark wash skinny jeans from American Eagle, white shirt from Old Navy, gold watch from Nordstrom B.P. and a scarf I borrowed from my roommate. These are my first pair of true skinny jeans because I normally don't like the way they look on my legs. I like how dark these ones are and I got the "long" size which fit so much better.
