ten things i'm loving this thursday


  1. Gillian Flynn, author of Sharp Objects, Dark Places and Gone Girl: i have only read her first book, Sharp Objects, but i couldn't put it down! It was kinda dark and a little bit graphic, but it was one of the best novels i have read in a while! i picked up Dark Places today and plan on starting it as soon as i can!  
  2. HGTV magazine: i have only gotten two issues of it but it is such a good home decor magazine! i was a little bit wary of it for some reason but i got it anyway and i am obsessed with it! we even subscribed to it today! it offers a great mix of high and low price products, easy and affordable DIYs and decorating tips from great designers. 
  3. Target: who doesn't love Target? when i'm at school, my weekly trip to Target serves as a stress reliever. in the past year or so, Target has really upped their game. they have cute, affordable clothes, adorable home decor and now even groceries! i think the majority of the things for my apartment at school have come from Target and i couldn't be happier with how they look! 
  4. Lilly Pulitzer's fall collection: i love lilly pulitzer. the more colorful my outfit, the better. every season i can't imagine how they can top the last, but somehow they always do. this fall is no exception to the trend. the collection stays true to her bright colors and prints, but is also on trend for the season. the lifeguard press stationary and gifts collection is cute too. i can't wait to purchase a few of the items! 
  5. kate spade new york's fall collection: kate spade's fall collection is all about new york city, one of the "twenty five things we love". i am particularly in love with it because of my recent trip to nyc where i fell in love with the city. the collection has adorable clothes and quirky accessories that pay tribute to all things new york. i will hopefully be acquiring some of the pieces in the near future! 
  6. skorts: i love them. always thought they were soccer mom-ish but the tides have changed. i bought my first one from athleta the other day and it had little ruffles on it! i loved it so much i got a bright pink one the other day that is from target's C9 by Champion brand! they are great to work out in or wear around town running errands and perfect for any age! 
  7. picture albums: i know it may be old-fashioned and no one really develops their pictures anymore, but i love putting pictures in photo albums. it is so much fun sitting on the couch going through an album and remembering the exact moment the picture was taken. 
  8. Homeland: i finally joined the rest of the country and am hooked on Homeland. we thought the first episode we caught was so good that we ordered the whole first season and we are already done with the first disc and it just came yesterday! the plot continues to thicken with each episode and claire danes excels at playing her character. each episode leaves you wanting to watch another! 
  9. my Lilly Pulitzer planner: i am a planner to the extreme and my Lilly planner is the reason i stay sane. i broke out the new planner for this school year and somehow between school, alpha chi omega and life in general, there is pink ink everywhere in it! still, it keeps me organized and i highly encourage a day planner to anyone. 
  10. blogging: i have really taken a liking to blogging! i hope y'all are enjoying reading it as much as i am enjoying writing it. any suggestions are welcomed and i hope to post more recipes, DIYs and maybe some workouts soon too! 
xoxo,

p.s. how bout them braves y'all? 13 streak!
