This week has been endless, I swear. There are only two days until Thanksgiving break and I can assure you, I'm counting down the hours. I have really enjoyed this semester so far but a little time at home is much needed. I'm so looking forward to being with my family again, especially seeing my oldest sister, Leslie. All the Smith sisters haven't been together since July and it was for four hours. Other than that, I think the last time we all saw each other was in March (?).

I cannot believe it's November already!! I feel like just yesterday I was at the beach and now it's time to pull out my parka and Bean Boots! Halloween is finally past us, thank God, and we can focus on being thankful and spending time prepping for the holidays. Weekly Skinnies are going to be full of holiday items from now until Christmas. Truthfully, it's better you be prepared early than scrambling before Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve to prep. If there is a specific post

A little late start on this post but it's time for another weekly skinny. I think these are some of my most favorite posts to share. I love dishing on things that don't always make it on the Instagram and on things that aren't always related to fashion. This week was much calmer than the last. Only a paper due and a couple of tests -- nothing too crazy. It was all worth the hard work though because it's Halloweekend and let me tell you, JMU does Halloween well. It's a four da

It's already been a hectic week and it's not even half way over. Monday came and went in blur. The beginning of my weeks are by far the busiest with three classes, time at the gym, a late shift and work, and getting ready for the week ahead. There is so much to juggle on Mondays that the time really flies. On Tuesday, I again juggled a few classes and a double shift at work which drains my day. I did manage to carve out some time to get dinner with a friend from high school a

It's been an exciting past few days. I spend the past weekend at home spending time with my family and relaxing. JMU doesnt get a fall break so I treated the weekend as my "fall break". I probably won't get the opportunity to go home until Thanksgiving. While home, I spend Saturday in Charlottesville at UVA. My family went to the UVA vs. Duke game and then the Zac Brown Band concert in the evening. It was an incredible time with my family and catching up with my sister and da

I ran a poll on Instagram yesterday afternoon asking what post you all wanted to read today and you all just barely outvoted weekly skinny over an outfit post. Instagram is seriously stepping its game up. I'm obsessed with Instagram Stories and the fact that I can go live, tag companies, and now run a poll on my most used platform makes me so excited. If you aren't already, make sure to follow me over on Instagram so you too, can vote on the next post! This week, I have done

This week's weekly skinny is a little scarce due to the lack of time that I have been on the internet due to my busy week these past few days. There are a few really great things though that I am so excited to share with you. It's so nice to be getting back into my weekly schedule and back to work. If there is anything you you have been loving this week, feel free to share in the comments below! J. Crew Fall Arrivals -- J. Crew just released new Fall arrivals yesterday and th

It's been a pretty busy week and we're only half way through it. Due to panhellenic recruitment starting tomorrow evening, the sorority has had meetings for the past week in preparation for the new PNM's. Ever moment that I'm not in class or at a meeting I have been using it to write blog posts, making Quizlets, or reading. There hasn't been much time for anything else. Although I have been running around campus these past few days like a crazy woman, I have had enough time t

It's time for another Weekly Skinny! I am loving sharing my current faves with you all each week. This week has a lot of videos on it because I was trolling Facebook in bed the other night and found some great videos that I just needed to share with someone. Yesterday, again, no post because it was my first day of school and I had a lot of stuff to do and writing the blog post didn't make it into the schedule. I'm still working on scheduling my day out and tbh, yesterday was

They response to my new Weekly Skinny series was so great! I am so happy that you all enjoyed reading up on my favorite things and boy do I have a ton of really fun things to share with you today. On social media, at the mall, or the store, whenever I saw something I loved I wrote it down on my phone so I wouldn't forget a thing. This week is my last week at home, and tomorrow I get to pack everything up and load up the car so I can head back to JMU. I can't wait to live in m
