Comfy Cross Patch Sweater [Outfit] and "The Sweater Weather" Tag

Since it is absolutely freezing right now, I figure I might as well embrace the cold weather and accept the fact that it is only going to get colder from here...which means SWEATER WEATHER! What is better than an oversize, soft, warm sweater when you're freezing your butt off? Nada. So here I am embracing the cold and switching it up around here-with a tag post! This is actually a pretty popular youtube tag, but for now, I will just stick to the blog posts!


The Sweater Weather Tag
1. Favorite candle scent? First question and this is already hard! I love B&BW's "Spiced Apple Toddy". Mmmm.

2. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate? I am going to have to cheat here and say mixing hot chocolate with coffee. One of the best things ever!

3. What's the best fall memory you have? Honestly probably freshman year of high school, going to every single football game. I never missed one. So long ago...but I love thinking back to that time!

4. Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner? Dark lips are fun to switch it up and be a little unexpected...but winged eyeliner is a lot more wearable day to day...so I think I prefer winged eyeliner!

5. Best fragrance for fall? Hands down Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb... it smells so good!

6. Favorite Thanksgiving food? Pie. That counts, right? Pumpkin, apple, and cheesecake. Need me on Thanksgiving? Seriously, just look at the dessert table! Oh, and homemade mashed potatoes. Love!

7. What is autumn weather like where you live? The temperature is pretty brisk...the leaves on the trees are gorgeous with different colors and this year we were lucky to not have too much rainy weather!

8. Most worn sweater? I don't have a most worn sweater yet! I am guessing it will just be soft, cozy sweaters in general!

9. Must-have nail polish this fall? Essie "Wicked". Perfect for fall!

10. Football games or jumping in leaf piles? Football games all the way!

11. Skinny jeans or leggings? Skinny jeans for warmth...but leggings are so comfortable! They are the best to wear with oversize sweaters!

12. Combat boots or Uggs? Combat boots! Currently loving my new ones!

13. Is pumpkin spice worth the hype? Yessss...Not just Starbucks either! So many places are coming out with different takes on it, and I pretty much like them all!

14. Favorite fall TV show? American Horror Story...I haven't been keeping up with it as much this season though...I will have to have a mini-marathon this weekend!

15. What song really gets you into the fall spirit? I can't think of one in particular...but since Christmas music has been everywhere for the past month... I guess that gets me in the fall and winter spirit!

Leather and Gold [What I Wore]

I haven't posted many outfit posts lately, buuuuuut I have an excuse! I don't have someone to take outfit pictures for me! Usually my photography-loving uncle takes my pictures, but he lives in my hometown, about 2 hours away. Today, one of my besties, Allison, volunteered to be a doll and take some quick shots for me! So thanks girl! I have been obsessed with reds, purples, burgundy, plums, etc all season so far...which means it is no surprise that I pull this outfit out of my closet! I adore this top, and the details on it! Some of the buttons are skulls... adorable right?! I also like the shade of the top with the gold detailing-and speaking of gold, do you have a preference for wearing silver or gold? They say that people tend to look better in one rather than the other, but I am indifferent about it. Thoughts?

Chiffon and Studs [Outfit]

Whew. I made it past Monday. I never thought I would be someone to always dislike Mondays, but they are really the start to my ridiculous schedule. Luckily, my schedule tends to only be super hectic and crammed Monday-Wednesday, with early classes, studying, and doing my clinical rotation at the hospital. Once Wednesday night rolls around, I can breathe a little, and catch up on homework and relaxing (just a bit!) All this chaos means posts may not be as frequent as I like, but hey, college is more important [and who out there even reads this here blog frequently? :) ] Some how though, I managed to get a post together, so wah-la!

LOVE the studs on the collar!
Someone needs to tame those fly-aways...

Top: c/o Persunmall // Jeggings: American Eagle // Flats: Betseyville (JcPenney) // Bangles: Old, Forever 21 // On my lips: Revlon Color Stay Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in "Sweetheart" and Almay Color + Care Liquid Lip Balm in "Blooming Balm" // Sunglasses: American Eagle

Sunday Social-Fall Questions!


1. What is your favorite fall activity? Probably helping my younger family get ready for Halloween! I love helping with any makeup they need done for their outfits! I also love Halloween in general! This fall season though will revolve a lot around my sisters wedding! She is getting married at the end of October and her wedding will be Halloween and fall themed, so I am sure I will enjoy the {stressful} but fun process of helping her with that!

2. Do you follow a football team? If so, which one and why? I wouldn’t say I completely follow them, but two teams I do watch are the Ohio State Buckeyes and Cincinnati Bearcats! I am studying nursing at The University of Cincinnati, so I am a Bearcat myself-hence me following that team...and I am from Ohio so that also makes Ohio State a team to watch! :)


3. What is something fun about fall in your area? It’s actually the very end of fall, and extending through winter, but still! It would probably be the Cincinnati zoo lights, which is when the zoo decks out the area with lights, and its gorgeous at night! I have yet to go, because it always seems to be super busy and draws a lot of attraction, but maybe I will go this year!

4. What are your favorite fall staple outfits? Boots with jeans or thick leggings (as long as the butt is covered ladies!) I really have a hard time NOT wearing boots every single day from fall-winter. A lot of my staple products are on my pinterest boards, and I take a lot of inspiration from pinterest as well as fashion bloggers that have similar style to me!

5. What things are you looking forward to most about this coming fall season? Fall fashion, lots of hot apple cider, and how gorgeous my campus looks when all the leaves start changing!

6. What is your favorite fall holiday? Tradition? I think it would have to be Thanksgiving and Halloween. I can’t choose. Halloween is just so fun and interesting when it comes to everyone’s costume choices; Thanksgiving is greeeaaaaat because I get a little break from college and get to see family…and that includes extended family, so it’s nice to get everyone together for a day!
