Where Have I Been?

Hi guys...I am so sorry for the absence for the past month. School has been crazy crazy crazy this past month. If you are in college or were in college you know that getting into a good rhythm with school takes a little time. It usually takes me about a month to get comfortable with class and my school and work schedule. I believe that I am in a good place with my schedule and I can come back to the blog with full force. I believe I will be able to put up a blogpost about once a week. However, I have been taking some pictures during this month I just haven't had time to put things up.

I tried out some different glasses from Warby Parker, this really cool website that has trendy glasses frames and lenses for only $95 and has a great "Buy a Pair, Give a Pair" Program that gives glasses to someone in need. They have this really cool thing called "Home Try-Ons" were you can try-on 5 pairs of their glasses for free for 5 days. I tried on a couple of frames and I still haven't been able to figure out which ones I want.

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,

Amanda

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! 

Much ♥
