currently obsessed....

Getting a real job has been both a blessing and a curse for me. I love having a job and going to work everyday and I really love getting a grown up pay check! I just can't seem to hold onto my money long enough to really never feel like I'm broke.

I keep telling myself that this is just a phase and next month I will really start saving and investing....(yeah right, all the best clothes come out in October!) I have such an addiction to going shopping and browsing the latest trends, at least now I get to share them with you!

Recently I picked up a few things that I cannot stop obsessing over...

Happy Fall Ya'll!
I finally gave in and bought the most delicious fall candy around....
CANDY CORN! I thought it might be a little to early but I decided to go
ahead and embrace the coming Fall months with a little sweet treat! 

Kiss My Face Lavender Shea lotion. I like to think of myself as
a lotion/makeup/smell good addict. I always like walking
around Whole Foods and looking at all of the actually good for you skincare items.
I became a fan of Kiss My Face products a few years ago when my sister started using it!
Yesterday I picked up this lotion and have fallen head over heels!
I recommend ALL of the products! 

OHEMGEE. I found this little gem in a store
called Fiore! It was a steal for $42 and I wish
I could wear it with everything! Blazers are making a comeback
and with such a fun print I knew I had to have it!

This obviously isn't something I recently bought but it does represent
something I am loving right now. Greenville is starting to cool down
and slowly make the transition from summer to fall and with that means
more walks outside with one of my favorite girls, Mozie.
I love walking through Falls Park with her and especially Boyfriend!

What are you obsessing over right now?

weekend recap

I was so excited Friday when I got off work to finally see my Mom, Minnie and Grigsby after 3 long weeks! Grigsby showed the most excitement and seeing him for the first time was a dramatic reunion. After they settled in I invited my boyfriend and his puppy Mozie over so they could play and get rid of some of their energy. They make for a wild pair and wore each other out wrestling and chasing each other. Friday night my mom and I went downtown to explore and grab a bite to eat somewhere new. We walked all around Main St. window shopping and people watching and ended up eating at a delicious restaurant Overlook Grill in Falls Park.

So excited to be reunited!

Our table was right on the edge of the balcony so
we got to see the Reedy River and all of Falls Park! 

Saturday morning I was finally able to sleep in a little bit and it felt so good! I decided I wanted to take Grigsby to the dog park near my apartment and then downtown to show him off. It was also a Clemson game day so we were both wearing our Tiger Orange! After so much walking downtown my Mom and I were starving and got lunch at one of my favorite places to eat, Smoke on the water! (Sorry for obnoxious amount of pictures of my dog, I have an addiction.)

Photo Shoot in the park! 

So handsome and well behaved! 

Saturday night I was busy baking cookies for the Carolina Panthers game on Sunday! The weather wasn't ideal but it was a great game and a good time with friends! I was sad to see my Mom leave but we are already planning her next trip down South! I will post some of my weekend purchases tomorrow, so keep an eye out!

One of my good friends Neilson!
He's a real goofball.

Boyfriend and I at the game! 

What did you do over the weekend?

monogram maniac

Today I got to pick up the items I bought Saturday from The Pink Azalea! I have been seeing monogrammed norts all over pinterest and was dying to get my hands on a pair. The only thing was that they were just so expensive after buying the norts and then paying to have them monogrammed. I have also been wanting a new baseball cap since they have become my go-to weekend hairstyle.

monograms on monograms on monograms. 

I am so thrilled with how they both turned out and of course I can't wait to wear them when I go "workout." If you like monograms as much as I do make sure you check out their website for more cute things, you can shop online and they are really affordable! I think my next purchase will be the palm tree monogram tee-shirt (I already love South Carolina as much as I love monograms!)

so adorable right!? 

what have you been monogramming?

Fall Reading List

Here are two of my suggestions to add to your Fall Reading List:

My dad sent me this book a few days ago! I suggest anyone who is going into the real world
especially into the sales or marketing field read this! My dad is the best salesman I have ever met
so any advice he gives on my career I take note of it and use it! 

Picked up this little gem for $5 (another South Carolina Steal!)
Who doesn't love Candace Bushnell, she is of course the creator of the greatest show ever made!
I have heard that this is a great book and that abc is going to turn it into a show!


Enjoy!

the halfway point.

My favorite part of each week is the end of a Wednesday workday. Once you make it to Wednesday you can taste the weekend, you can see yourself hitting the snooze button on Saturday morning, and you can breathe a sigh of relief that you don't have to wear a head set for two whole days (in my case anyways!)

This week I am even more excited that I've made it halfway and there is only one day standing between me and a wonderful weekend!

I've been in Greenville for almost 2 weeks now and I am so incredibly happy, but there is one thing missing. I haven't seen two of my favorite things in the world since I left home. Those of you that know me know that I'm talking about Minnie and Grigsby. For those of you who don't allow me to introduce to you my most prized possessions:

This is Minnie. She is 4 years old and is a pterodactyl cat.
Meaning she has thumbs! She stole my heart the
second I spotted her at the Watauga Humane Society. 

and This is Grigsby. My breathtakingly handsome german shepherd
airedale terrier puppy. He is 5 months old going on 25 with more
energy and spunk than anyone i've ever met.

I can't wait to introduce them to their new home! On top of seeing them this weekend I will also get to spend time painting the town red with my momma! I'll be sure to let you all know how it goes and all the fun things we do!

What are your plans for the weekend?
