Wish List

As Christmas time draws near I start to think of what I'd be hoping for underneath the tree. (Also it's snowing here and making me think of it as well.)

Pretty Undies:

Anything from The Loved One's lingerie line. I especially love these tap shorts. Just divine.

Victorian Era:

Victorian items. Lately I have become really entranced with clothing and styling from that era.

Pretty Frocks:

Pretty vintage clothing is always acceptable. These pieces are especially affordable (wink wink)

Bakelite:

Bakelite is always a welcome gift at any time.

What are some things you are wishing for?

Sneak Peek

Here's a sneak peek of our engagement photo shoot!

This is the lovely lady who took our photos: Sarah Taylor

Once again there has been so much going on. I got sick recently and that really messed up my schedule and whatnot. Tyler and I are headed down to Mobile tomorrow to spend Thanksgiving with his family, and then as soon as we get back we have to start boxing up the apartment and get ready to move. After Thanksgiving break I will have just under 2 weeks of school left (thank goodness!). In exciting apartment news we have a bed for the apartment and I'm just so excited to have it start filling with furniture! Ok, so that's my little update.

Whew

I have been gone for a bit, and I'm sorry for that. I've been adjusting to my new student teaching placement, and trying to get wedding stuff done. Tyler and I got our engagement photos taken today! I should be able to post a little sneak peek on here tomorrow or the next day. Eek, I'm so excited! Everything is starting to seem so real and almost here, I just can't wait. We booked our honey moon today as well. We're officially going to California to L.A!! He lived there for a semester and I visited him and we both loved it so much. It'll be a fantastic honey moon, we're already planning all the things we want to do while we're there.

I already said this in my last post, but everything is going by so quickly. I'm so excited for so many things, mainly getting married and moving to Nashville, I just can't wait to get the ball really rolling. ALSO, it's 27 days until I graduate. Sooo crazy. Any way, forgive me if things are a little sparse on the blog for the next little bit, I will try to keep up with blogging it just may be a little sporadic. 

I hope all you lovelies had a fantastic weekend!

Seasons

Today was my last day at my first placement in student teaching. I spent 10 weeks at the school and now I'm going to go to a different one for the last 5 weeks of school. It's got me thinking a lot about the future. I loved the kids at my first placement so much, and it was horribly sad to leave them. They left me adorable notes on the dry erase board and gave me little gifts. I teared up as I walked down the hall for the last time. Now that one large part of my last semester is done it has me thinking about the very near future, graduating and getting married.

I feel like time has gone by so quickly. I'm starting to get all sentimental over graduating and starting a new life. A new stage of life. I always tell myself I love change, but there's something bitter sweet about leaving one season of life for another. Don't get me wrong I'm so excited to get married and graduate, but it will be a little sad to leave this season behind.

Happy Halloween!

At the school I'm student teaching at all the teachers surprised the students and dressed up in costumes for Halloween. The students loved it and it was so fun to dress up. I was...dun dun dun LUCILLE BALL from I Love Lucy!

 

I chose Lucy not only because I have red hair (and plus I love Lucille Ball) but also because I didn't want spend anything (poor college student and all that) and I had everything at home to do this costume. I was afraid at first that none of the kids would have ever seen I Love Lucy or even know who Lucille Ball was, but I was pleasantly surprised that pretty much all the kids recognized who I was.

Coat Weather

It's such wonderful weather here in Tennessee! I'm loving wearing my coats and being chilled when I walk in the door after coming back from school.

I'm in. love. with this coat. I had lusted over it several times at Anthropologie, but it was far out of my price range (somewhere near $300) but the other day I happened to step into Anthropologie and they were having a huge coat sale and it was $50! Needless to say I snatched it up.

And here is what I'm wearing underneath the coat:

Red and Pumpkin

It's been changing it's mind all over the place weather wise here in Tennessee. One moment it's in the 50's the next it's 80 again. Tomorrow ushers in another time of 50 degree weather, which I'm quite looking forward to.

I think these tights are just the perfect fall color. I had seen a couple other bloggers wear them and just had to pop on over to target and pick myself up a pair.
