Specs and Lips

I did the usual changing of contacts this morning. Except.. something was wrong.

I didn't have any more.

Guess I'll be wearing my specs until I can go back to eye doctor.. on Friday.

I've been searching for a really good red. This lip pencil could be pretty close. I am loving itttttt.

Meanwhile, I hope my contacts get here really soon.

Autumn Cravings

It's finally almost here. The moment we've all been waiting for.

Autumn.

That's right. You got it. Fall is coming. It's practically here.

I'm not in the minority when I say that it's my favorite time of year. There's a reason so many people love it.

After pumpkin pie, my favorite part of this season is the clothing. You just can't beat it.

The light sweaters and cardigans, the scarves, the flannel!

Since the months of September-November are when my Mint finance app keeps saying "Stop buying so many clothes!" here is what I'm craving this fall.

Fall Inspo 2015 by sydneeislove featuring ankle boots

I noticed a theme of red and grey, flannel, and brown leather. That's what I'll more than likely be head to toe in. Actually, that's already started to be perfectly candid.

What are some fall purchases you're looking forward to this year?

Swiss Days & Knit Skirts

After missing this event for the past three years, I finally got to go to Swiss Days!

My aunt always has a booth there. We always go up there and hang out. Considering I was in the actual place it was inspired by last year, I was not able to attend.

This knit skirt trend is pretty great. I love wearing pencil skirts but they're too uncomfortable. But when they're stretchy and knit, it's perfect.

With lovely weather and lovely company, it was better than I remembered.

I also got these treats from the Relief Society bakery.

They're cute. They're also super delicious.

If I could, I would live in Midway. It's a beautiful place.

Who could not be happy?

This quote really resonates with me, lately.

Yeah, life gets to me. This quote makes me see that I shouldn't let it. Little things in life can help you get through the hard times. Oscar Wilde listed two of my little things. Books and flowers. I could name off a dozen others that are more personal to me.

So excuse me while I curl up with my book.

Jane Austen & Peppermint Tea

I'm big enough to admit that I haven't moved much from this spot all day.

This thunder can roll all that it wants. I'll just be right here.

Friday Favorite | Soft Bras

This Friday, my new favorite thing has to be something I never thought I would love.

I've always loved fully supported bras. I've never been a fan of the ones with a lot of stuffing or padding, though. I typically like to keep my friends as close to me as I can.

I bought a soft bra one day while feeling pretty spontaneous. I didn't even know if I would like it. I just tried it on and it felt comfortable. It also looked pretty dang cute.

I wore it every once in a while. I even bought another in a different color and loved that one even more. Still didn't wear them often enough for me to come close to my other bras.

A few weeks ago I was involved in a pretty bad car accident. I was broadsided and was tipped over in my car. I was thrashed around while wearing a seatbelt. I wasn't injured but man was I sore.

The one place that hurt the most was my sternum from the seatbelt, right in between my friends. I couldn't wear my regular bras because the underwire would kill me. So I was forced to wear nothing but sport and soft bras.

Now, I don't know if I can stop wearing them.

I like being a little more flat. So these bras do that while still looking delicate and feminine. I probably wouldn't suggest these if you are little more "endowed". They offer hardly any support which is what makes them comfortable. However, I am a 32B so I don't have much to support, as you can see.

I definitely wear them with more loose t shirts. They make me feel like one of those cool bohemian girls that can get away with wearing no bra! But dang, do they look cute.

1, 2, 3, 4

So ladies, give your girlfriends a rest and get one of these. Trust me.

Life dump; ready to change.

My life took quite a turn.

Not really sure why it did, but I've never been more grateful.

I took a trip a few hours north and ever since then, I realized how much I was missing in my life.

I let go of a few things that I needed to. I was ready to set on a completely new future I never saw for myself. It's never been more worth it.

Hurray for change and embracing it as it comes!

It's been a hard few months to say the least. I've never been more tired, more emotionally exhausted, and more unhealthy in my life. I've been working two jobs, each at about 25 hours a week. I basically would wake up, go to work, come home, go to sleep, wake up, go to work, and so on. My life became very mundane. It paid off though. Now I will only work full-time at one. I finally have time to do this again.

Making lots of changes in my life to hopefully better that.

I don't love when people overshare on social media, in fact it's probably one of my biggest annoyances, but I might be giving some emotional dumps on here because this is my passion, my life, and I hope to keep on keeping on. 

I've been buying lots of clothes and I'm happy to say, I plan on posting more outfit posts. They're definitely my favorite to share. I've been cooking and baking more. I've also been trying out some natural skin routines. Let's see how they work out.

In the meantime, I will be sleeping peacefully because, as I said, I am very sleep deprived.
