Motivation Monday!

Motivation is always good. Everyone needs that little reminder, no matter who you are. 

After a very long, fun, yet un-productive weekend, I really need to look at how far I have come with school instead of focusing on how much I have left. So this quote is just a little reminder for myself (and hopefully y'all) to just focus on how far you have come! 

Be on the lookout for more fashion posts this week! 

I'll get to planning them after I finish my (dreaded) math homework! 

Have a good night y'all! 

XOXO- Rach. 

Vests!

I've noticed recently that everyone seems to be into vests for this Fall and Winter. 

I am not complaining, I think vests can totally transform a look! Plus they keep you all nice and toasty warm! 

Here are some vests I'm loving:

I havent met a single person who does not love this vest! I want one so bad, I cant even stand it!

Be sure to also check out the striped one they have also!

J.Crew

I cant get the picture of the vest I want to show y'all but I'll just link it to ya! They look so much better in person, I promise! I picked up the black one yesterday! 

Old-Navy

This one just looks comfortable and cozy!

Patagonia

Let me know what vests y'all are loving for this fall and winter! 

Until next time, 

XOXO- Rach. 

Fall (has been) here!

Okay, maybe I am just a little late. 

Cause Fall officially began in like late September? Im extremely late actually!

But, In my defense it hasn't been "fall weather" until now. 

And I am sooo excited! I absolutely love fall. Like its ridiculous. 

I love the clothes, the colors of the leaves, and the redness your cheeks get when you step outside.

I'm not gonna rant about "fall fashion" cause my love of oversized scarves might get annoying. So instead I thought I would let y'all know about my favorite fall activities! 

1. Pumpkins.

 I love carving pumpkins. I like making them have cute faces, and the way they look on the front porch! 

How cute is my pumpkin this year? She has a bow, naturally. I just have to show it off! 

2. Corn Mazes & Haunted Houses

I love corn mazes, I like to pretend that I am in the amazing race or something, and we always have a race to see who's group makes it out first, it brings out my competitive side! 

However, I am not one for haunted houses, haunted hayrides or anything "haunted". I don't like to be scared, especially by people I don't know in scary masks. Just not my thing!

3. Tailgating!

Fall means college football. College football means... A very happy Rachal. 

Especially cheering on those South Carolina Gamecocks! 

4. Foliage

The North Carolina mountains during peak week? Seriously, y'all have to check it out! So beautiful!

5. The state fair!

For many Fall means, the state fair is back in town. While it is not my thing, many of my friends love it. So it just had to be included! 

Those are just a few of mine and my friends favorite things to do once fall rolls around! Let me know what y'all love to do during this beautiful season as well, I'd love to know! 

Until next time, 

XOXO

Mondays are offically my "bum" days.

I'm not saying I "hate" Mondays. 

I feel like hate is a very strong word, and I dont want to wish my days away. However, Monday is my least favorite day of the week. I lay in the bed in the mornings until the very last second till I HAVE to get up. By the time my feet hit the floor, I just am not in any kind of mood to put effort into my appearance. Which are why Mondays are my bum days. 

With that being said, I dont pull out my ugliest pair of sweats and biggest t-shirt I have. My idea of "bum" is a shirt, jeans and basic shoes. No accessories, nothing fancy.

Today I bummed it in a plaid shirt, leggings and flats, with a huge scarf of course! It was cold! 

I guess with this post what I am trying to say is, it is okay for Mondays to be your bum days too! 

And if Mondays are your "bum" days too, let me know! Hopefully I am not the only one! 

Have a good, rest of the day y'all! 

XOXO- Rach. 

Fashion Survey!

Fashion Survey

• What are your favorite colors?: Honestly, I (almost) never wear bold, bright colors. My wardrobe is very neutral, mainly black, gray, white and beiges. So boring! 
• What is your fashion philosophy?: Less is more!
• Describe your style: It doesnt really have a word! It is more of how I am feeling. If I am feeling bold, I might put on a Lilly dress. But if I am feeling lazy and tired it could be a oversized sweater and jeans! It all depends. 
• What current trends do you like?: I LOVEEE fall fashion! I cannot wait for riding boots and huge scarves! I am in heaven in the neutral colors! 
• What old trends do you think should come back?: I have a huge softspot for bellbottoms and I would looovee if people started wearing them again! I think they look so classy with heels and a plain shirt and blazer! 
• Do you like accessories?: More like LOVE! I do not feel complete unless I have a watch on! I also love necklaces and making a stack on your wrist! 
• What kind of shoes do you like?: Riding boots & Jack Rogers. I could only own these shoes and be alright. 
• Describe your dream outfit: Tight jeans, Riding boots, Baggy shirt, and oversized sweater.
• Ever wanted to be a fashion designer?: The thought has crossed my mind, but I like to pull from so many other designers, so I think I would like to be a personal shopper or something instead!
• Do you like matchy matchy, or mix and match?: Matchy Matchy! I love mixed patterns on other people, but I cant pull it off! Kudos to yall who can! 
• Do you think it’s too expensive to be trendy?: Hmmm, Im not really sure. It all depends. 
• If you had a fashion budget of 1 million dollars, where would you shop, and why? I WISH! Probably J.crew! Why? Their clothes are so verstatile and you could just make so many outfits, and have you seen them? they are so cute! 
• Who is your fashion guru?: My gigi! 
• What is the most important piece in your wardrobe?: I think basic t-shirts are very important! You can dress them up, dress them down, and they just work with everything! 
• The second most important?:  A good cami! 
• What one piece are you dying to add to your wardrobe?: I am really lusting after Tory Burch riding boots! 
• What is the most money you have spent on a pair of jeans?: I have no idea! 

Such a bad blogger!

I apologize for being such a bad blogger!
I havent posted anything since this summer!
The sad thing is, I dont even have an excuse for not blogging, I dont really know why I haven't.
But fear not! Im back, for good!
So expect more posts, especially about fall (cause I loooove it!)

So stay tuned!

XOXO- Rach.

Wedges!

I am absolutely in LOOOOVVVEEE with wedges! Especially for summer! They tie an outfit together and can instantly dress up a more casual look! Here are a few of my favorite pairs! 

Lilly:

How cute is the red wedge! 

But of course, all of the Lilly Wedges are precious! 

Get them here!

J.Crew:

These just look comfortable! And the coral color they come in is beyond cute!

Get them!

These are going to be my "go-to" wedges for the summer! 

XOXO- Rach.

In my spare time I do something I probably shouldn't. I obsess over southern homes and plantations on pinterest. Its getting bad for my health, but I cant help it! I will live in a old southern home, one day. But for now Ill just cry over the fact that I don't live in these homes... 

Hope yall have a excellent Monday!

XOXO- Rach. 

Finals!

Ahhh! Finals are slowing kicking my butt! I cannot wait till summer! While I was studying some religion, I couldn't keep focused for my life! So I read and did flashcards for about 30 minutes or so, then I would take a 3 or 4 minute break! Here is what I did during my breaks! 

Painted my nails!

Flipped through a couple pages of Cosmo and whatever else I have laying around! 

Played this super addictive game, "Unblock me"

Scrolled through J.Crews website

(my wallet was not too happy about this one!) 

Picked up my room a little bit

Closed my eyes and dozed off for what seemed like a split second! 

I found that this helps me get and stay focused! I suggest trying it for yourself! 

Happy Studying/Finals week! 

XOXO- Rach.

The end..

Today I finished my last classes of my freshman year of college. When my parents used to say, "time flies" I just shrugged it off. But now, I am starting to realize how right they actually were. I move out of my dorm in 5 days! My roommate and I are making the best of our last days in room 401 and our sweet little college town. College sure is somethin'! 

Best wishes on finals/graduation/end of the school year stuff! 

XOXO- Rach. 

Hair!

Right now my hair is longish, but as we are getting closer and closer to summer, the more I just want to chop it all off! So naturally in class, what was I doing? Looking at new hairstyles of course! So I thought I would share what I am thinking! 

I cant decide! 

Flip-Flops!

Summer is sooo close! AHH!  

I LIVE in my jacks during the summer, however I dont really like to wear them to the pool or on the beach. So I thought I would let yall know what kind of shoes yall might see me sporting this summer! Be sure to let me know what yall are wearing and what you think! 

XOXO- Rach

Rainbows:

I have owned my fair share of these, I admit. But I do enjoy them for something quick to throw on, and they are so wear-able and tough especially to wear at the beach or pool dont worry about getting them wet, they withstand almost anything! 

Get them here!

Vineyard Vines Flip Flops

LOVE THESE. 

Get these!

Last but not least...

Old Navy

Although they are cheaper, and not as tough as the others. They are perfect if you are just walking to the beach or going to the pool! Get them wet, no worries! If you are looking for something plain and simple, these are for you! 

La La La...

For y'all that dont know me, there is one thing you should know... I CANNOT sing, at all. Its terrible. However, while my roomie is out of the room, I blast my music and sing anyways! ;) So I thought I would share what I have been blasting these past couple of days! 

1. Whiskey- Jana Kramer

2. The more boys I meet...- Carrie Underwood
This song is too true, and so funny!


3. Carolina Girls- General Johnson & The chairmen of the board
Such a southern staple! Carolina Girls BEST in the world! (:

The south, enough said.


What are y'all listening too? Let me know!

XOXO- Rach.

Sitting at panera.

As I am writing this I am supposed to be writing research papers and such, but that is definitely not happening. So I thought I would just give yall a heads up on what is going on now days...
1. Finals are in a week! I am stressed to the max, hint my lack of blogging recently. SORRY!
2. I just said goodbye to a good friend this year who I will possibly never see again! Its been a rough night!
3. I promise after I get all my papers done I will start blogging more, I PROMISE! Look for them soon!

XOXO- Rach.

Instead of studying...

So instead of doing all of my final projects and papers I am looking at bathing suits and counting down the days till my summer officially begins! Is it possible to have senioritis your freshman year of college? I think I've got it! Anyways, I thought I would share the cutest bathing suits I have found online! XOXO- Rach. 

How cute is this? Marley Lilly! 

Lilly, of course! Get it!

For my one piece ladies! It has anchors on it!? I might order this for myself, its perfect! Vineyard Vines!

It all makes for one hell of a reminder, keeps me cryin' CAROLINA!

Y'all I am obsessed with Corey Smith. You guys have got to check him out! I have had Carolina on replay for an embarrassing amount of time. His music is pretty much my life in a song. 

Summer!

Summer is almost here, and I cannot wait. 

As if school is not stressful enough, when finals roll around thats when everything starts to get crazy! 

So in order to remain stress free, here is my list of must have's for finals! 

1. Agenda

Every college girl needs one of these for dates, and assignments! Plus they are sooo cute! 

2. Post-its

Seriously. You have got to invest in these bad boys. I have them EVERYWHERE. 

3. Super comfy clothes

Its okay to look somewhat like a bum for finals week, everyone understands. 

4. Fruit 

If yall are like me, and have to eat while you study, go buy some fruit instead of bags of BBQ chips and other yucky food! Trust me! (: 

5. Hair-Ties 

I have a new obsession with these little things! My hair is annoying in general, but these make your hair look effortlessly cute, and out of your face while you are studying! 

Feel free to leave comments of your "must haves" for finals! 

XOXO- Rach.
