TrendyLindy: college

These last few days have been a little crazy. Last Thursday I took a spur of the moment trip to Greenville to visit my boyfriend! He hasn't been able to come home yet with everything that's going on, so when I heard that my neighbor was making the trek down to ECU in the snow, I decided to go along with her to save money on gas and see the love of my life!

It was a low key weekend. All we did was relax, watch movies, cook comfort food, eat way too much, sip on coffee, play in the snow, hug on Cubbie and hug on each other. I missed him so much! While I was there we started watching the Netflix series House of Cards and instantly got hooked! This show is seriously amazing. You need to check it out! It's intense, sarcastic, and a crazy unique perspective on politics. We already have less than half left before we get through the whole first season.

Monday night I got home from Greenville, ate dinner, caught up with my parents, and then went straight to sleep. Tuesday I had a big interview with a company I've been in contact with for a couple weeks now, located about 2 hours outside of Charlotte. I went to my interview, which was way shorter than I imagined, and then changed into comfortable clothes and treated myself to a delicious lunch for one in the middle of downtown.

The whole interview/meet-and-greet experience didn't go as I expected it to, but it was definitely an adventure that made me stronger! If you wanna hear God laugh, tell him your plan, right? That's my favorite quote these days! This one is pretty legit, too...

Sorry for the lack of posts this week! I've been busy, as you can see. What have you been up to lately?

It's the middle of the week! Everyday kind of blurs together for me, but I'm sure all of you who are working and studying for exams are very excited that it's almost the weekend. Hooray!

I'm currently writing this post from Greenville where I'm visiting my man to celebrate the end of the semester. It'll be a slow week over here on Trendy Lindy, but be sure to follow my Instagram ( @TrendyLindy) to stay up to date with my day to day adventures at my alma mater. Have a lovely week!

Semester Wrap Up

Wednesday, December 11, 2013

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!

Fall Treat #1

Wednesday, October 30, 2013

Hello, Blog World!

It is so great to be here on this lovely Monday morning! I have been anxiously anticipating the moment when my new and improved website could launch, and now the time has finally arrived.

It feels wonderful!

Over the last few years my “Trendy Lindy” name (props to my dad for the creative title) has developed into my own personal brand, right alongside my life changes and growth as a person. With a college degree under my belt and my hands dirty with past fashion experiences, I’m ready to really begin my blogging adventure!

I hope that many of my readers will visit my site, not just to see what I wear from day to day, but also to have some fun, gain inspiration, create many new friendships, and, more so than not, glean some personal style tips.

If there is one thing I’ve realized after graduating and fighting my way into the fashion industry, it’s that my field of dreams is way more expansive than I ever imagined. It stretches, spans and extends all the way from my Charlotte roots to the tips of the buildings in the NYC skyline. While it may be a lengthy hike, and one that is worn down from countless pairs of pumps and penny loafers making the trek, I am not going to stop until I surpass the top… and that is where ya’ll come in!

This little blog may not gain millions of followers or lead the list of most popular reads on Bloglovin’… but it’s a place for me to share my life with you! A place where I can come to document how my future is unfolding right before my eyes. A virtual diary that you are free to read whenever you feel the need, and one that I can look back on when I get where I want to be!

So with all that in mind, and with my boots deep in the soil of the “unknown,” you better be ready to hold on tight, trendsetters.

Here goes nothing!
