Navy is My Neutral

Fall is in full swing and my pinterest feed has the proof to show it! Between all the pumpkins, orange and yellow leaves, and the perfectly poured coffee it's hard not to be happy when scrolling through pinterest. I still have a couple of things on my fall bucket list to accomplish like apple picking, going on a hayride, and carving  pumpkins so hopefully this will give you guys, as well as myself, a little motivation! Hope everyone is enjoying their fall! XOXO, Emily images via pinterest

Fall is officially here and since it is by far my favorite season,  I decided it was time to do the Fall Favorites Tag! This tag is pretty popular on YouTube but I decided to mix questions from several different versions of the tag and make my own! 1. Favorite fall nail polish:  Fall is hands down my favorite season for nail polish because it means I get to break out all my dark colors! Since picking favorite polishes is such a struggle for me I always come back to my two favorite colors, Gayle and Demi by Julep. 2. Favorite fall candle: Pumpkin, chai, or vanilla scents! I am like a kid in a candy store when shops put out all the fall candles. The pumpkin scent that has won over my heart this year is Pumpkin Vanilla and Vanilla Chai from Bath & Body Works. 3. Favorite fall/Halloween movie:  Without even thinking it's hands down Hocus Pocus! There is just something about this movie that I love, and frankly I have to stop myself from watching it all year long! ...

Since school is officially in full swing I figured it was time that I do a planner organization post to show you all how I keep my life together during the hectic school days.I'm a little OCD when it comes to organizing things for school, so the school issued planners just weren't cutting it. After thinking about all the different planners out there, I decided to go with one of the famous Lilly Pulitzer agendas, and I am so happy I did. It has just enough space for me to organize everything while not being over-sized. Of course, everyone has their own way of staying organized so what works for me won't necessarily be the best way for you. With that being said I hope some of these tips and tricks help you stay more organized as you push through another school year!   1. Pick the style planner that best fits your life-  Planners come in all different sizes and set ups based on your life and personal needs. Planners such as the Erin Condren  LifePlanners  are best ...

One thing that makes me happy about going back to school is getting new school supplies! Ever since I was little, I've loved office supplies and the number of notebooks and journals I've owned through the years is a bit outrageous! Normally I tend to be on the hunt for notebooks and binders in bright fun colors, but this year  I decided to pick up some plain supplies and add my own touch to them! This project was super easy to do and all you need are plain notebooks, mod podge, a paint brush, and pictures (I got all mine from pinterest). After I gathered all of my supplies and pictures, I used the website Pic Monkey  to make the pattern for my collage. After you create your template, import the pictures you want on the cover into the template and mess around with what parts of the pictures you want showing in the collage. After you collage all your pictures together print out your collage and cut out the pictures. Play around with how you want the pictures spaced/arranged...

Happy Friday everyone! So I figured since my very first post two months ago was my summer essentials/faves that it is about time I give you an update! It's hard to believe that it's already August, and that in less than a month I will be heading back to school:( I guess that means I need to plan out some back to school posts, but let's not rush ourselves! In the mean time, here is what I have been loving lately! My first favorite is my Lauren by Ralph Lauren tote bag ( similar ). Ralph Lauren handbags can be pretty pricey so I was happy when I snagged this baby from Marshall's for almost half the price. It has been my go-to catch all bag this entire summer. It has a ton of space so it's perfect for everything from carrying stuff to work to throwing in the car for a college road trip! The next thing that I've been loving is my Lilly Pulitzer  agenda . This is my first time getting a Lilly agenda and I am a total convert. The past several years I have be...

Yesterday was one of the nicest mornings that we have had in a while, so my mom and I decided to head out to a local organic blueberry farm and do some picking! Blueberry picking is one of my favorite things to do during the summertime, and it manages to always make it on to my summer bucket list. This year the trees were loaded so it's no wonder that we ended up taking home 6 pounds of berries!                                                          I've always had a blueberry addiction, even when I was little. I used to grab a bag of frozen blueberries from the freezer and just sit and eat them with a spoon! A classic recipe that I have made the past couple of years with the fresh berries is  blueberry cobbler . The recipe I use is from Cook's Illustrated and it is seriously the easiest recipe ever to make...which is kin...

This summer the cabin fever is hitting hard, and it may have something to do with the fact that it has rained nearly every single day so far! I love a good thunderstorm, but when it rains day after day it can be hard to think of fun things to do to pass the time. Luckily I have a few tricks up my sleeve on how to beat the rainy day blues! 1. Have a spa day:  One of my favorite things to do when I have a spa day is to run a hot bath, usually with a bath bomb from Lush! In the bath I like to either flip through a magazine or listen to some music and chill. After having a bath I throw my hair up,  put on a face mask, and to top it all off I like to sit down to give myself a manicure and pedicure. 2. Cozy up with a good book:  Rainy days are a good excuse to stay cuddled up on the couch and dive into a good book. Along with my book, I also like to grab a bunch of blankets and pillows to sit on, and I like to make a hot drink (preferably coffee!) to sip on ...
