Fall Trend: The Embellished Collar Shirt

Hello dolls! I hope everyone is having a great start to a new week!

 Because I have so much free time now that I dropped to 11 hours, I just got done applying at two boutiques downtown in hopes to fill my free time with something more productive then Pinterest and online shopping, but it doesn't look to hopeful because no one is really looking to hire anyone. Atleast I feel better about myself for trying and putting forth the effort!

When I was shopping in Atlanta and Asheville last weekend I couldn't help but notice how many beaded, sequined, and embellished collared blouses all the stores had. What I love about this trend is that you can throw on a collared top and not have to worry about matching a necklace or a scarf since the neckline is so dramatic already (which would be great for traveling to save space and you don't have to worry about untangling necklaces when you get to where your going or even packing them!)

By simply styling an embellished collar shirt with skinny jeans and flats or even pairing it with a skirt, tight and boots; it could work for the daytime. If you wore heels, a bun and a red lip, you could easily transform the top for night! It's one of those pieces that's so versatile that depending on how you style it, it would work for any occasion!

Here are a few I found that I am in love with! My favorite is either the emerald with sequins or navy with the white scalloped collar!

Fall Break [picture overload]

I will go ahead and apologize for the picture overload but I had so many pictures from fall break that I probably should have split it into two different posts!

But let's start with our day trip to Asheville, NC

 Best cookie EVER from the Chocolate Lounge!!

Gingersnap dipped in chocolate..yum yum!

Maple Latte from the cutest bookstore downtown!

Then was our day trip to Atlanta! We didn't make it downtown because of traffic but we hit two malls..which was obviously the most important part of the trip.

I bought my first pair of Tory Burch Reva's!

As you see below, I may or may not have wore them out of the store...

and of course had to stop by Godiva and get a pumpkin cheesecake truffle!

We luckily made it home with enough time to fit in a bike ride before dinner. We rode around downtown Clemson then went to the lake. The weather was absolutely gorgeous!

Today a few friends and I went hiking, apple picking, and sight seeing! The leaves were so beautiful and the waterfalls were so relaxing

500 pictures later, you have a recap of my fall break! (phew!)

I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the week. I have a great week/weekend ahead because my boyfriend (whose 21st birthday is tomorrow) is coming up on Thursday to celebrate for the weekend and I cannot wait to see him!

Catch Up Post

Remember me?   I maybe have posted 2 times in the last month...worst blogger EVERRR (and I apologize a million times)

This semester has been killer, but guess what?!? My advisor put me in an upper level class without taking the prerequisite come to find out..so I had to drop it last week and now I am actually under full-time credit wise...so now I have so much free time on my hands! I actually went and applied at a few places because I'm sadly bored now with all this extra time, so why not spend it making money?!?

 I am also looking at doing an internship this summer in Charleston. I have been doing some research about the steps I need to take and where I would like to do one. I was wondering if any of y'all have ever done one and have any tips, advice, etc please let me know!

I would ideally love to have one at MUSC or CharlestonMag (CharlestonMag would be an absolute dream job!!) My major is finance and minor in marketing but I would really like to work somewhere that involves event planning and finance. So we will see how that goes!

Thursday starts fall break for me and I am so excited! My roommate and I have all sorts of fall events planned such as apple picking, hiking, going to a pumpkin patch & carving a pumpkin, and walking around on campus with our PSL looking at all the wonderful foliage, etc. I absolutely cannot wait!

Here's what it will look like

 I hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far!

Lusting for Vineyard Vines

I am sure we are all victims to receiving about 10-70 (if not more) daily junk emails from stores announcing their latest sales, new fall collections, special coupons, etc. Usually I automatically delete them without even opening them but for some reason I opened Vineyard Vines because it said "New Fall Arrivals" and I got super excited hoping they would have lots of new items!

I was slightly disappointed because it's mostly the same stuff they have every year. Shep Shirt, Fleece Vest, Pullover, etc. But there were a few new pieces that caught my eye!

Fish Geo Skirt 

(I love the orange and white because it's my college colors and would be perfect for a football game!)

Westerly Vest

Riptide Cable Sweater

Shep Shirt

I have the pink and grey and I LOVE it!! I think the navy and light blue would be a great color combo to add to my closet!

Also while browsing online I saw their Fall Tour this year! Sadly they aren't making to any of our games, but here is where they are going and maybe they will be coming to you!

Well I am off to the gym then I am forcing myself to study 24/7 until tomorrow at 12:30 when I have my first accounting exam...not feeling very confident right now but wish me luck!!

Hope everyone is having a great week!
