Black Rock

My college announced that the Childish Gambino was coming to our school for the annual Fall Concert!!! I am CLEARLY over-the-moon I absolutely adore him! And not just because of his rapping abilities (which are amazing) but also because he is HILARIOUS. He plays Troy Barnes on my favorite sitcom, Community and he used to write for Tina Fey's show (and another of my faves) 30 Rock. 

If you don't know who he is...you NEED to! He is absolutely amazing and crazy talented! I will attach one of his most popular songs from his Camp album at the end of this post. I would personally love if everyone became a Gambino Girl like myself ;) however, if you are not ready for that level of fan-girldom I would suggest listening to: LES, That Power, Firefly, Freaks and Geeks, and Sunrise!

However to the point, he has this phrase that he uses for the his type of music called "Black Rock" (which is explained by Donald Glover a.k.a. Childish Gambino at the bottom of the post)! I have prepared what I think will be a perfect "Black Rock" inspired outfit for the concert coming up!!! I hope this outfit inspires you! 

Who are your favorite artists that you completely fan girl over? Tell me in the comments below :) 

Much Love,

It's Almost That Time of Year Again!

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

FALL TIME IS COMING!!! I have missed thee! It is always so weird being back to school and it is still summer weather. Almost depressing! However, I am looking forward and here are some of my favorite Fall Transition pieces! Hopefully, It will soon FEEL like its transitioning into Fall time (my favorite season) and I can start wearing boots, tights, and cardigans again!! Oh how I miss thee!!!

Currently, (in personal news) I am trying to gain my barrings at school! It is so hard "getting back into the swing of things" and coming up with a productive schedule! However, I promise that I will have a clear schedule soon and be back with outfit posts and more :) In sadder news, I already have a speech due Thursday (I know crazy right I started back last Thursday!) and I need to get that done and out of the way!

BTS: My "First" Day and What's in my Schoolbag?

Welcome to my Junior Year Dorm Room! I am sure you will see a lot of it! I might show you around because it is such a typical college dorm! So this is what I wore my first day back to university as a Junior. From being a "veteran" of sorts at the whole college game I knew to keep it casual and as "easy-breezy" as possible!

{Blouse, Jeans- Old Navy, Oxfords/Brogues - Dorothy Perkins, Necklace - Macy's}

I also decided it might be interesting for you to see what I put in my schoolbag for university!!! Just some things that one would need for their first couple of days of going to classes!

What's in my School Bag?

1. iPad - Perfect for notes, readings that are provided online, and looking over the syllabi online! 
2. 5-subject and small notebook - I like the feeling of writing notes (it's just more tangible for me) I have a large notebook for things in each class and the small notebook for ideas during class, small notes to self, and blog ideas ;) 
3. File Folder - Something to keep all the papers you get from all the classes is very important! 
4. Mints, Lotion, and Hand Sanitizer - Small things that every girl needs in her purse I think is equally as necessary in your school bag ;)
5. Dorm Keys/ Campus Card - These are my LIFE here at university I can literally not go anywhere without them.
6. Pencil Pouch - Just to keep all my pencils and cords that I need throughout the day. I also keep my headphones!

BTS: Last Days of Summer

Well...the time has come. The time to pack up your things, leave your childhood bed, and return to school :( I am sad this has been such a long and restful summer I literally can't imagine my brain being able to do homework again! 

Will be returning for my Junior Year at my university in a couple of days! So everything leading up to and when I get their is going to be hectic! So I decided to share with you one of my last days of summer outfits that I really enjoyed! 

I hope to be settled in and back in the rhythm of blogging once I am fully settled in to school!!! I hope everyone else heading back to school has "great" first days ;)
