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!

Fall Leaves & Chocolate Chai Tea.

Happy fall, ya'll!

(The top right picture, taken last year, is of a tree in my neighborhood that always changes so beautifully in autumn! I can't wait to see it soon!)

If there is one thing that I LOVE it's fall weather. Crisp autumn air and leaves swirling around the roads in my neighborhood are a few festive things I love about this season! Give me a big bowl of soup, a sweatshirt, fall weather and time with my family and I will be in an awesome mood!

This week the weather has been cool, clear and absolutely gorgeous! It seems, if possible, that when the temperature drops and the leaves change, my love of Starbucks grows. Any pumpkin spice latte fans out there? Put your hands up! What about my salted caramel mocha people? Hey girl, hey! Today I tried a new drink, a chocolate chai tea, and I loved it! It was the perfect combination of cinnamon, clove and mocha. Yum! What is your favorite latte and your favorite aspect of autumn?

Cafe Au Lait & Old Montreal

The one thing I was looking forward to most about going to Montreal was the French food. I know that sounds crazy, but send some coffee and croissants my way and I am a happy camper! The authenticity of the French cuisine we tried while we were there was amazing. Cafe Au Lait, chocolate croissants, savory crepes, pistachio pastries, flaky baguettes, foamy lattes...you name it, we probably ate it. My twin sister and I are obsessive about cute coffee shops, so we made sure to find some must-try stops every morning for breakfast. Let me just say, I ate enough bread to feed a small family.

Also, I apologize for how often I wear these Brandy Melville shorts. They are definitely my new go-to and they are just way too easy to throw on. Oops!

This Goes Out To...

Sorry for the lack of posts yesterday and Wednesday. I was traveling and getting a jump start on my birthday weekend!

(Bare with me while I'm sentimental) 

Yesterday, as I sat in the Starbucks at my alma-matter, looking at all the students walking to and from class with their bookbags on their backs and their heads free of worry, not even realizing how fast their four years as a Pirate undergrad will fly by, I couldn't help but think about the little time here that I took for granted.

Don't get me wrong, class is awesome and I think everyone should work hard to get the degree that they want so they can achieve the career of their dreams, but don't take it all too seriously!

Have a good time, live a little, take advantage of your freedom and your friendships while you can. There are going to be times, like the ones I'm experiencing now, as a college grad living in Charlotte, where you're going to miss all of your peers and the free time that you had. After college comes way more responsibility then you could ever imagine. It's not always fun and football games. It's hard, it's challenging and it pushes you! 

99% of the time I try to live life without any regrets. I love all of the people that I met in school and I wouldn't change anything about the moments that I experienced... but one thing I might alter if I could go back in time would be my openness to new ideas and new experiences. Sometimes I felt like I lived in my own little selfish bubble where I just did what I wanted to do and didn't think about what I was missing out on. Don't do that, undergrads. Make yourself happy, but undertake the unknown!

Before you can even blink you'll be walking around campus as an alumni!

Oh and to the new East Carolinian Fashion Columnist... I read your first column and loved it! Glad to pass on my position to a trendy, talented Pirate. Keep up the awesome work!

Order Up

Um yes, okay, I'll take one large order of fall weather please?

It feels absolutely glorious here today. I'm talking mid-70's, people. It's amazing! If there is one thing that can transform my mood it's cool, crisp, low-humidity air. Bring it on!

Just last week I got back from an awesome vacation to the North West (ha-ha, Kardashian baby). We traveled from Portland to Cannon Beach, Cannon Beach to Seattle, and Seattle to Vancouver! Not only were the sites spectacular, but the weather was perfect. That is one thing I could get used to! Throw some autumn air my way. I got to break out my boots, sweaters, and long sleeve shirts and I loved every second of it. Fall fashion is my all-time favorite.

Here is one outfit I wore while savoring the sweet taste of autumn...

One of my favorite things about visiting Seattle was going to the original Starbucks! Like I said in my bio, I am an INTENSE Starbucks addict. Like I think I need help. I would buy it every single day (which I actually, pretty much, kind of do already) if I could afford to. When I walked inside and caught a whiff of the delicious scent of espresso, I was in coffee heaven.

Doesn't that hazelnut macchiato look to-die for? I know this may sound crazy, but to me it tasted extra delectable coming from the original Starbucks! 

Anywho, this morning I went to my usual salon and got my bangs freshly chopped. I love how something as simple as cutting your bangs can make you feel as if you have a whole new hair style! Hooray for simplicity!
