I have never been into jewelry until recently.

Accessories really do make an outfit.

I am hoping to accumulate lots of gold bracelets to pair with my gold MK watch.

and also some large statement necklaces.

Shoes!

I absolutely adore these gold loafers and gold shoes in general!

I am willing to pay extra for comfortable/long-lasting shoes,

and Cole Haan with the Nike Air technology are super comfy.

These metallic flats meet my number one shoe requirement: comfortable!

A classic black flat that can be dressed up or down.

Can you tell I don't wear heels? 

I can't walk in them to save my life.

I was in a wedding in June and had to go through heel boot-camp.

Any tips for walking or comfortable heels? Do comfortable heels even exist?

GAP Fall Shopping

In honor of going home next weekend (school shopping!) and fall quickly approaching... This week's posts will consist of my fall shopping wish list, emphasis on the wish. I am currently a full-time student and all.

Boyfriend jeans, a comfortable classic.

Lightweight sweater.

Military jacket.

Love these loafers.

Cherry print dress.

Color-blocking.

Chambray paired with striped sweater.

Polka dots.

This color is great!

Rules for shopping at gap:

1. NEVER pay full price.

For example, early last week gap offered 30% off purchases in store and online for a limited time. They then extended the sale an extra day. A few days after they offered 25% off online purchases.

2. Shop the sale rack! (especially when they are offering an extra % off)

Happy Monday :)

Black Accessories

Pups: Zoey and Zeus, 4 mos.

Shoes: TOMS

This is my go-to comfortable/lounge look.

(Other than sweatpants... don't think you'd want to see that on the blog).

I got these AE jeans on the clearance rack plus an extra 40% off, and I love them!

They can be worn with so many different tops and transition well into fall.

Also for those of you who don't have TOMS, they are more comfortable than you think.

I highly recommend them. I really love these. 

Here is the birthday cake I made for Jared.

This is a week-long celebration :)

My mom took us and our friends out for some Mexican on Thursday.

As a result, we were too full for cake when we got home, so we ate that Friday.

Sunday we are meeting Jared's parents for dinner.

I love birthdays!

Today is my wonderful photographer's birthday!

Aka my fiance.

Let me introduce you to Jared.

He is absolutely brilliant and is currently applying to medical school.

He's also an amazing guitar player and surprises me all the time by learning my favorite songs. Can't get much more romantic :)

He is the absolute love of my life.

You know when you are little and you dream of marrying a knight in shining armor?

And then you grow up, date a bunch of guys, and realize they are just in fairy tales?

Well they aren't.

So if you haven't found your prince yet, keep looking!

Jared has shown me what it is like to be respected, adored, and treasured.

(All things every human being deserves to feel on a daily basis.)

I love you Jared. Happy birthday!!

I'm planning to update my blog template due to my obvious lack of computer skills. Does anyone have any suggestions for someone to come up with a template?

Today will be full of studying for me. I have my last lecture exam Friday morning in medical physiology. Then it's one more week of classes! (not counting finals ;) )

Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful day!
