Navy is My Neutral

January is flying by, but somehow I still managed to add quite a few new songs to my playlist! These past couple of months I have been listening to music non-stop. Every spare moment I have you can find me with my headphones on playing album after album to see what new songs I can discover. This month my new favorite artist has to be Olivver The Kid. I seriously cannot stop listening to his EP The Boy Who Cried Wolf. There are 5 songs on it and I could listen to them on repeat all day. Of course I also had to include a couple Ed Sheeran songs with you guys because somehow were're going to have to struggle through the next several months without any new songs from him. What songs have you guys been listening to lately?  XOXO, Emily 

2016 is here and that means one thing...award season! Award shows are one of my favorite shows to watch, specifically the red carpets before! Every year I mark the dates down on my calendar so I can make sure I have nothing to do but relax on the couch with a snack and a bundle of blankets while looking in awe at all of the gorgeous gowns. This year I fell in love with so many dresses, ranging from Calvin Klein to Zuhair Murad, that it was hard to narrow down my favorites. But, after looking at a countless number of pictures and watching fashion police and E! News I finally narrowed it down to my 5 favorite looks of the night.  1. Malin Akerman in Reem Acra   2. Jenna Dewan-Tatum in Zuhair Murad (one of my favorite designers of all time!) 3. Jennifer Lawrence in Christian Dior with Jewelry by Chopard 4. Melissa Benoist in Monique Lhuillier 5. Emmy Rossum in Armani Prive   All theses ladies rocked the red carpet in elegant ...

Happy New Year's Eve everyone!! It's hard to believe that 2015 is coming to a close, but here we are! 2015 was a year full of hanging with friends, college road-trips, applications, and starting the blog! With 2016 right around the corner, I decided to take a look back on some of my favorites of 2015! 1. Starting the Blog: As most of you know, I decided to start my blog over this summer and I am so glad that I did! It has quickly become my creative outlet and hobby over the past couple months, whether I'm working on a post, taking pictures, or redesigning the layout. While I'm proud of all my posts this year, my favorite post that I got to share with you guys was my  apple picking  post! 2. YouTube: I've been into watching YouTube for the past couple of years, specifically  the beauty/fashion community, but this year I fell in love with watching the perfectly edited and planned out videos. From look-books to holiday makeup tutorials I've seen it all! Aft...

Whether I'm decorating the tree, baking cookies, or driving to school you can bet I have the Christmas tunes on full blast! As much as I don't want to admit it, I have been listening to X-mas music since it started playing the day after Thanksgiving! There are so many Christmas songs and versions out there that I thought I would narrow them down and share my favorite ones of all time with you. Thanks to Home Alone my top two favorites ever are Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree and White Christmas! As of today our tree is fully decorated so between that and the music I am finally getting into the Christmas spirit, now all I need is a dusting of snow and a stack of warm cookies!

Today officially begins the countdown to Christmas and I couldn't be more excited! But, for many of us this means rushing around to find the perfect last minute gifts. To help out, I put together a gift guide with ideas from the best beauty buys to the finishing touch on a room re-do! For the Home: Home decorations are one of my favorite things to look at for gift ideas,  whether it's a simple candle, or pretty pillows to put the finishing touch on a new room! Anthropologie is one of the best places to look when it comes to small home gifts. They have beautiful and unique pieces that never seem to disappoint!                           Beauty: Beauty gifts are probably the most fun gifts to shop for since it often involves swatching nearly every product in Sephora to find the perfect match for the makeup lover in your life! With all the palettes and kits that are released around ...

Sunny skies and crisp Autumn mornings definitely call for apple picking if you ask me! A couple weekends ago I finally got to cross apple picking off of my fall bucket list and now our fridge is pretty much over-flowing with apples! The orchard we went to was about 40 minutes from our house but well worth the drive! It's 130 acres and everywhere you look all you see is rows and rows of trees dripping with apples. They have 30 varieties of apples with my favorites being granny smith, empire, and pink lady. Almost every weekend during August-October the orchard is open to the public for "pick your own." When you get there you are given a bag and a map of the orchard, and then set free to fill your bag as much as it can possibly hold! One of my favorite rules the farm gave for picking was that a good harvester always tastes her crop, so you better believe I did just that! By the time I walked out of there I had probably tasted as many apples as we had picked...we...

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
