BHL

I was home this weekend and got to go to Ryan's hockey game. He plays with his younger brother and they were the all stars. 

Ryan scored two goals and had an assist. 

Doesn't this look like a picture from a Blues game? To quote Elle Woods, "Totally look the part!" 

The Transition: Dress Edition

I love all of these dresses with flats, boots, or even gladiator sandals (weather permitting!) with a cardigan or jean jacket. The yellow dress is called "The Perfect Summer Dress." I think it actually works well for fall too. It would look great with a navy cardigan and some nude flats. 

This is unrelated, but my roommates and I are decorating are going to decorate for Halloween on Sunday. We're going to make Halloween cookies, watch movies and experiment with homemade warm drinks for fall like salted caramel hot chocolate and pumpkin coffee. 
I'm also going home this weekend and I can't wait to experience some real fall weather! What are you up to?

The Transition: Shoe Edition

I have under appreciated flats for 20 years, but this is the year I've come to appreciate flats. They come in adorable colors and shapes and are (usually!) a comfortable alternative to heels. They look cute with jeans, skirts, dresses and even shorts. I love the cap toe trend (like the candy corn looking shoe below) and you can't go wrong with cheetah or a neutral. They're perfect for the days you don't want to wear open toe, but it's going to be too warm for boots in a few hours.

School

This interruption to regularly scheduled programming is brought to you by....

"Hojo" stands for History of Journalism 

...school. 

This was my study guide last night for my 12:30 exam today. Don't worry, I rocked it. (I had read over my notes several times before filing out the study guide, so I wasn't totally waiting until the last minute. Filling out the study guide is how I remember the material. Then I quiz myself and go through with a colored pen and circle what I don't know. That's my method and I'm sticking with it!) 

Anyway, I have another exam to take tonight and a few other things to do, but I hope to have the next part of my transition series up tomorrow. 

The Transition: Shirt Edition

The transition between summer and fall clothing can be a tough one. I'm going to do a series this week on transition your wardrobe from summer to fall.

I love boots and cozy sweaters, but September, and even October weather can be really unpredictable, so I hate to break them out too early. I like to pick light pieces that I can throw a cardigan or a light jacket over for my walk in the morning, but can be worn alone in the afternoon. All of the below would look great with jeans and nude flats, gold sandals or boots, depending on the temperature. Do you have a "go to" transition shirt?

Happy Sibling Appreciation Day!

One of my favorite things to do when I come home is stay up late catching up with my brother. I'm lucky to have a sibling I'm so close with and really enjoy spending time with.

Have I mentioned I love fall?
