Lets Do The Time Warp Again!!: Halloween Weekend

BOO! Happy (almost) Halloween y'all! Now I'm not gonna lie Halloween kind of ended for me this weekend, but hey I still have some movies to watch so I guess not all the festivities have ended.

If you saw one of my posts from earlier this month then you've seen my festive autumn/Halloween decorations that I have in my apartment. Also though more recently I have added this adorable Halloween llama (who I obviously named Sabrina) and this Tiffany's inspired pumpkin that I painted. Sadly they were out of black paint :( I definitely had fun painting the pumpkin and I recommend pumpkin painting to anyone that lives in an apartment and doesn't want the place to smell like pumpkin for days or anyone who just doesn't wanna deal with the mess. Its fun, simple, and easy to clean up. Also if you don't have access to a pumpkin just color a picture of one! I found this template and colored myself a mermaid pumpkin.

This year for Halloween my friends and I decided to see a midnight showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show on the Saturday before. I have seen this movie several times but never with the performers or audience participation (we even got goodie bags full of props) When we got there we were marked as "virgins" because we had never been to a midnight show before, which is why for most of the night I had the giant V on my cheek. We all dressed up as characters from the movie and when I saw the movie in theaters a few years ago I was the maid Magenta. This year I took an opposite approach and dressed as Janet. The costume was really easy because I already had the dress and everything. You can't really tell but I even pinned my hair up to make it look shorter.

Seeing a midnight showing of Rocky Horror is an experience I definitely recommend. Its out there, campy, crazy and perfect for Halloween!!

Now like I said Halloween kind of ended for me this weekend which can only mean one thing...I am now in full CHRISTMAS mode!! So y'all better be ready ;)

What are your Halloween plans? Are you a fan of Rocky Horror? Let me know in the comments!!

Starting With the Basics

Image
For my first official blog post I decided to start with a classic. And what is more basic and classic than a white button down shirt and jeans. I love the casual breeziness of this look and the fact that is it a true classic staple. I decided to amp up this look with a bold red lip and a large floppy hat.  This look is also perfect for this springtime, when the weather is nice but you're not quite ready for shorts and a tank just yet.  One thing you should know about me now, is that I always like to have fun with style. Whether it's fun prints, statement accessories, or bold makeup I will always do my best to bring my look up a notch but still feel comfortable and confident in my look. Because honestly it doesn't matter if you are wearing the most basic or out there thing, if you wear it with confidence you will always shine!  Tell me some of your favorite classic pieces? What is a item that you think will never go out of style? Feel free to comme...

My Fall Break: Doing All Things Autumn in One Weekend

Image
Ya this is about a week late, sorry but I've been pretty busy (sadly my senior thesis isn't going to write itself) But I did recently have a great Fall Break back in Ohio. During this break I succeeded in my goal to do all things Fall related. I arrived Friday night, so first on Saturday I went to the farmers market with my friend Jess. Also on Saturday my dad and I went to the Ohio State game (my first time actually attending an OSU game if you can believe it). It was so much fun we walked around beforehand and checked out the tailgating scene. Going to Loyola I miss out on football tailgating so it was great to experience it. We also saw the marching band perform before the game which was also a great experience. The actual game was a lot of fun, even though it was pretty stressful. Even though it was 80 degrees it was still a perfect fall activity. Also that weekend my family and I went to a corn maze and market. The corn maze itself was fun (not very decorated or diffi...

Im Back Baby!

Image
Goodbye Ohio Hello Chicago! It feels so great to be back in the city to start another school year. Junior year honestly creeped up on me so quickly I'm still in shock. Every year I'm worried about adjusting back to city life after a whole summer back in my home town and every year the second I get back I am right back in the swing of things city views I can't wait to see what this school year has in store for me. New classes, New internships, Friends old and new, and New experiences galore. Be ready for more posts coming up where I give a tour of my new crib (best decor yet), showcase my new work wardrobe, try my hand at cooking, and just share new experiences in this city I have chosen to become home. And FYI Ohio is still home to me (It is possible to have more than 1 home) 1st day of classes outfit Also I am a person who focuses more on School Year Resolutions, as opposed to New Years Resolution. This year my resolutions are to focus on my own happiness and ...
