Back to School : Bedding

Are you getting ready to move into a dorm or apartment?  I hate moving, but love decorating a new place and shopping for fun new things for my room.  At home my bedding is from Target, but at school I've had Anthropologie bedding for four years.  I love my bedding, it's colorful with big flowers on it.  I love how my bright bedding makes my otherwise dull room look bright and inviting.

Five Things I'm Loving for Fall

I am not ready for summer to be over, however I am ready for the hot weather to be over (not that it will be anytime soon).  But, since all the stores are starting to put out all their new fall clothes and accessories I thought I would put together a list of five things I'm loving right now for the upcoming season.

1. Kate Spade iPad folio | I am dying to get a new iPad cover.  The one I have been using for the past year is the Apple smart cover, which is practical, but not very cute.  I like the fact that it snaps onto the side of my iPad and turns it on/off when I open/close it, but I would love to get a more stylish case.  I have had my eye on a leather Tory Burch case for a while, but think they are way too expensive, so I am thinking about opting for the slightly cheaper Kate Spade version.

2.  J.Crew Factory Stripe Tee | I love stripes.  I only own a few striped shirts, but I wear them all the time!  I really need to stock up on some more for the fall.  This is a perfect shirt for class or a day of studying at the library... comfy and cute!

3.  Kate Spade Cooper watch | For the past couple of years I have worn a watch almost everyday.  I hate having to always check my phone to know what time it is, especially if I'm in class, so wearing a watch is perfect.  Plus it's a cute accessory.  When the Kate Spade watches came out a few months ago I fell in love and have been wanting one ever since.  But, couldn't choose my favorite... But, I think I have landed on the Cooper watch!  It's classic and goes with everything so it's the perfect investment.

4.  J.Crew classic leather ballet flats | I have been eying these J.Crew ballet flats for months.  They are a great year-round flat and are a great way to add a pop of color to an otherwise dull outfit.  I love ballet flats because they transition perfect from casual to professional and from summer to winter.

5.  J.Crew Bubble necklace | Has anyone else in love with this necklace? I love statement necklaces.  A colorful statement necklace is the perfect way to add sparkle and color to any outfit and is an easy way to dress up a casual outfit.

What are you loving for fall?

Road Trip {1} : Tupelo, Mississippi.

Last week we returned from our ten day road trip from Florida to Mississippi to Tennessee to Louisiana.  It was a lot of time in the car, but it was worth it!  On the way to Tupelo, Mississippi (my mom's hometown) we stopped in Montgomery, Alabama for the night and then headed to The Summit in Birmingham, Alabama for lunch and shopping.  We arrived in Tupelo in the late afternoon on Wednesday July 25th and then went to dinner with two of my mom's sisters and my Uncle Morgan.  We don't get to see each other too often, so it's always tons of fun when we are able to get together (remember this post).

One of my favorite parts about visiting Tupelo is all the yummy (and unhealthy) food that I get to eat while I'm there.  One of my favorite (unhealthy) stops in Tupelo is Connie's Fried Chicken for breakfast.  Of course, Mom and I went there first thing on Thursday morning.  The chicken biscuits and blueberry donuts are my favorite! Yummy!

On Saturday Gigi, Mom's youngest sister, and Uncle Randy came to town with their grandson Smith.  He was almost one year old and looks so different from the last time we saw him.  He is growing so fast!  He can walk now, it was so much fun to see him!

{I can't believe my sweet baby cousin Smith turned 1 last Friday!}

Isn't this the cutest picture you've ever seen?

On another note, my cousin Mac and his wife, Chaney, gave birth to a baby girl last Thursday named Maisie Sage!  I cannot wait to meet her.

Town Toiles.

I recently found this adorable company, Town Toiles.  They make fabrics specific to a bunch of different cities as well as one for the University of Florida.  They offer a lot of great things that would be perfect graduation presents or hostess gifts.  Wouldn't it be so fun to get a pillow with famous spots around town on it?  I think it's a great idea.

Their website is a bit difficult to navigate and some of the pictures are hard to see, but from what I can tell everything is adorable!

Sorry this one is so blurry... the site does not offer a good look at some of the patterns.
