Happy Wednesday, readers! 

This post is coming to you live from Greenville, home of the ECU Pirates! Ah how I love being back at my alma mater with my man and best friends! They make me so happy.

My "road-trip" ensemble yesterday. Slightly obsessed with my new black boots I bought for NYC.
 Had to make a pit-stop at my "halfway there" Starbucks! Potato chips and a skinny hazelnut macchiato made for the perfect little snack.
Back with my man! It's crazy how much I love spending time with him! No matter what we do, we always have fun.

If you read my NYC Unveiled post, on Monday I told you that I was going to post a recipe for a gluten free dessert that I discovered... but while I'm tweaking and testing out my revised version, I'm going to share with ya'll another great treat! I discovered these adorable little chocolate peanut butter acorns the other day while skimming through my Facebook, and I knew I had to make them for my friends and boyfriend! Although they aren't gluten free, they look delicious and so festive for autumn!

Here's the simple recipe...

WHAT YOU NEED:
- Chocolate chips
- Mini Nutter-butter crackers
- Hershey kisses
- Chocolate icing

WHAT YOU DO:
Unwrap all your Hershey kisses and dump out all your Nutter-butters so you have an easy assembly line. What I did to make this process simple was lay out my crackers in rows on a flat cookie sheet. With a small spoon or butter knife, spread some chocolate icing on the flat side of the Nutter-butters. Once covered with icing, place a Hershey kiss (point side up, obviously) on top of the icing. Continue this process until all Nutter-butters and Hershey kisses are connected to create the bottom of the acorns.

After you've let these sit and dry for a little bit, repeat the process by using a tiny dot of chocolate icing to place a little chocolate chip on top of the Nutter-butters. This turns into the lid of the acorn! That is that, you guys.

So easy, right? Everyone told me that they tasted delicious, and I always loving bringing my friends something they can eat and enjoy during the holiday season! What is your favorite fall recipe?


Come back later this week for my revised gluten free treat!

Okay so I just have too much to say and too little time to say it, today...

So I'm postponing my trip details until Monday! I just want to let everyone know that it doesn't particularly matter, per-se, about whether or not I got "the job" that you are all wondering about. It's about how happy I am with the outcome! I left the city with such a positive and hopeful outlook, that I know I will have for weeks or months to come! I am more than pleased. A door has a cracked open very wide, it's just a matter of waiting for the time to come when it completely throws itself open. The opportunity I just encountered was amazing, and I wouldn't change it for the world!
Come back and visit late afternoon on Monday for the details!

OH Wait...

Wondering what I was up to in New York?
Stay tuned tomorrow!

Wondering?

I'm leaving today! I'm gonna be a part of it.... NEW YORK, NEW YORK!

Hello all! Today I'm flying off to The Big Apple for a fun and very exciting interview! I didn't even apply, they found me, so this whole experience is so thrilling and once-in-a-life-time! Even if I don't get the job (which I'm mentally preparing myself for, since this was so unexpected) I can't wait to tell you all about my trip and the amazing company I'm interviewing with! I know that God has an awesome plan for me... and I'm just so eager to see how it falls into place!

Be sure to follow my Instagram @TrendyLindy and Twitter @Trendy_Lindy for running updates and many, many pictures.

Say a prayer for me & wish me luck!

I'm not usually a big thrifter. I love Macklemore, I love retro clothes, but the hobby of hunting for vintage finds just isn't one I've adopted. I know trendsetters who do, one of my good friends can find amazing items in any thrift shop, but for some reason I'm just not one of those people! Maybe it's the fact that I can't really fit in "normal sized" clothes, but for the most part I seem to find my favorite items in retail stores!

Fortunately, the other day I stopped by a thrift shop and found this gem of a sweater. It's neutral aztec print with fringe all around the bottom. It's the not the most "flattering" item, (I had to cut the hefty shoulder pads out, you guys) but for 3.99 I just couldn't turn it down. I love the grungy, mountainy feel it has. I decided to style it with my Lord and Taylor motorcycle boots and an extra messy messy-bun. It took me about 2 seconds to throw this outfit together, but it sure felt comfortable and cozy in yesterdays cooler weather.

Sweater, Vintage. Necklace, Hand Picked. Top, Forever 21. Boots, Lord & Taylor. Denim, Forever 21.

What is the best item you've ever found while thrifting? Show me how you style it! Stay tuned tomorrow for some photos of my gorgeous twin and her earthy ensemble!
