Style Guide: Blanket Scarves

             


                    
  

Scarves are the perfect accessories for fall and winter. Every girl should own at least one in her closet (if not to style, then to just keep her warm). I purchased the plaid blanket scarf (bottom right) before fall began, but I haven't worn it as much as I should have (it really is an amazing item!) and when I wore it to work, I got so many compliments that I can't refuse to wear it again! It may be bulky, but it really does keep you warm and stylish! (Click here to learn how to wear a blanket scarf. Emily is a fashion genius!)
Finding the right scarf for you can be easy or tricky. Sometimes, you can just google "blanket scarf" (or look on pinterest!) and you'll find one you love. Or if you are like me and research items before you purchase, you go through site after site only to be exhausted afterwards. Lucky for you, I put together a list of cute and comfy scarves for you to purchase without too much stress. :)

Hello December!

Can you believe it is December? How about that it is December 15th? DECEMBER FIFTEENTH people! The year has flown by! I haven't written much on here, but I do like to do some recaps so that you have a little bit to know about me and how my life is going (and it is a great place for me to look back on someday and see where I was during certain months of the year!) I won't go on with this post telling about what kind of year it has been; I'll do that at the end of December or beginning of January. ;) But it is halfway through December and there have been some good moments to document. 


School has been good, not my favorite, but still good, and now I am finally on winter break! One month of no studying or writing? Hallelujah! It kind of amazes me how college works. We got a few days for Thanksgiving break (which was wonderful!), and then one week back at school (dead week), and then followed by finals week. Those days went by fast. In between studying, house sitting, and working, you were likely to find me at my place of comfort: target (of course.) ;)



 

I absolutely adore the holidays, Christmas especially, so I am looking forward to these upcoming weeks. There will be lots of gifts to wrap this week and foods to prepare and I am so excited!  Have I also mentioned how excited I am for the amount of free time I will have? lots. You are likely to find me in a bookstore or in my bed with a book in my hands and I am ecstatic!  My siblings are home from school as well, so we are getting in a lot of much needed family time! 
 I hope that you all are having a wonderful December so far and that you all are having a Very Merry Christmas! 
xoxo 


My Christmas Wishlist

Although I love to receive gifts and I very much appreciate every gift I receive, I am a very picky girl when it comes to what I really want for Christmas, which makes shopping for me difficult for my family. (Sorry Mom!) ;) I usually buy things for myself that I can't take my eyes off of, but I don't have the wallet to buy multiple things that I want, so this year, I put together some of the items I have eyed for several months and would love to open on Christmas. 

These are just a few of my favorite looks via Instagram featuring a couple of the items on my wishlist:
