The other day my parents, twin sister and I had a fabulous day of shopping, great food, and fun memories! We started off the afternoon at Whole Foods for lunch. Do ya'll ever eat there? I swear I could eat at that place every single day and never get tired of it. Countless choices are gluten free, you have variety in everything from asian salads to italian meatloaf, and you can mix and match whatever you want. Not only that, but their coffee and smoothies are great too! 

After lunch we made our way to one of my favorite Charlotte hangouts... the mall, of course! I had been eyeing this patriotic scarf for a while now, and fortunately for me I snatched up the last one they had out on display! We had such a great time listening to holiday music on the loud speakers, spying kids sitting on Santa's lap, and seeing everyone out enjoying their weekend. I love this time of year!

Here's how I styled my new stars and stripes...

Also, yesterday my boyfriend and I were discussing our Christmas gifts and I came up with a new idea for giving back this season... for every one clothing item that I receive, I am going to donate two in return. I think it'll be a great way to give back to people in need while getting rid of items that I just don't utilize anymore. It'll be a happy holiday all around!

Happy Friday, everyone! Can you believe Thanksgiving is in less than a week? My twin sister is coming home tonight and my brother comes home next week and I'm so excited! I love having all my siblings in town. They are the best!

Remember my aztec sweater that I found at Goodwill a while back? Well, one other amazing find that I snatched up while thrift shopping was a giant, cable knit gray sweater. I'm a petite, extra small, 12 year-old sized woman, and this sweater is a men's XL. Do I care? Nope! It was $3.99 and I turned it into a cute sweater dress.

When my obsession with street style blogs began a few years back I kept seeing the trend of women wearing giant sweaters with heeled boots all over the internet. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't, but either way I knew I wanted to try it! That was when I started adding menswear to my wardrobe. I love the idea of femininity mixed with the rough and toughness of mens clothing. The outfit that I threw on today is extremely comfortable, super cozy, and perfect for a cool fall afternoon.

Have a great weekend, trendsetters!

No, for real... Ask your Grandpa... Can I have his hand-me-downs?

When I was little my family used to go pick out a real Christmas tree together every year. We would all pile into the car, make our way to the tree lot, and search until we found the right one. My parents always had the final say, but it was the tradition and festivity that we loved most! The smell of the fresh pine, the cool air that made your cheeks rosy and flushed, and the adventure of finding the star of the show was just so exciting to us.

As all the kids grew older and the mystery of the holiday faded just a little bit,  my parents decided to get a fake tree for our home. Looking at it from an adult perspective, I can definitely see how it is easier and much more practical. I really don't mind our fake tree! It is just as beautiful, just as magical, and just as fun as a regular tree... but I know that once I get my own house I will fall back to the real ones! I want to start the same tradition with my children that I enjoyed when I was young. I still get excited when I see a parking lot filling up with twinkle lights and trees of all different shapes and sizes, like I saw today! The holidays are upon us, and I'm soaking up every little minute of it!

A couple months ago I participated in a giveaway from Marvelous Cara (you can follow her lovely blog here) and I won a gift-card where I purchased an amazing pair of leggings from Albion Fit. I have literally worn them non-stop lately. They are my new favorite "comfy pants" and they fit perfectly! The best thing about these Petal Pants is the waistline. It has an adorable ruffled edge and folds over so that it lays perfectly on your hips. Usually my leggings (cough...Target kids section...cough) are an elastic waist and they ride up really high. Most of the time I walk around with them pulled up above my belly button and just pretend that that's a normal thing to do.

Today my outfit showcased my new loves with a casual but sporty look, and my middle part attempt! Lately I love leather, sneakers, and any neutral. Layering for fall is a must, don't you think?
