black tee (c/o) 

Transitioning to fall clothing can be tricky- especially when the weather can't seem to make up it's mind when it comes to temperature. In Michigan, we've been flip-flopping around lately. Mornings will be brisk and cool, sometimes in the low 50s, and before noon even rolls around we'll be climbing our way back up into the mid 70s. 

Combating these changes is easy with this perfect black tee. A staple in all wardrobes, this one is unique in the sense that it has some subtle knot detail to make it just a little bit more trendy. And on top of that? The material is super soft and stretchy. Paired with your most broken in jeans and a soft bralette, you're al set for a relaxed day!

Casual Days + GearBest

cute tee (c/o) | cardigan

When GearBest reached out to me last month asking if I would like to partner with them on some posts, I couldn't calm my excitement- especially not when I found out that they had this adorable eyelashes tee. 

This outfit is so comfortable, and absolutely perfect for lazy days or when I have to be in lectures for hours on end. 

Stay tuned for more outfit posts from GearBest!

Monday Musings... but on Tuesday.

{via}

1 // My Mondays have since become so insanely busy. I'm not going to lie, looking at my to-do list today and my planner that's just filled to the max with appointments and things to get done, I'm already exhausted. I frequently have to remind myself not to glorify being "busy," because being pulled in five different directions all the time is not something anyone should aspire to have. 

2 // I've (slowly) been making my way through Eat, Pray, Love and I can honestly say I am so happy to have given this book a second chance. The voice that Elizabeth Gilbert has is so raw and real, and for whatever reason I really identify with her attempts to find balance and understanding in the fast pace Western culture we live in. The book also has me wanting to go on an "eat pray love" journey of my own. 

3 // Lately I've been nothing short of wanderlust. I want to go everywhere, truthfully. I go through my camera roll on my phone and I see the pictures from the mountains over the summer and my heart yearns for another adventure. I see pictures of the southwest and of canyons and caverns to explore and I find my mind wandering there all the time. The Earth holds some true wonders and I am aching to see them all. 

4 // Rest. It's something I often deny myself. I so long for a restful weekend but so far that has been out of the picture. I am determined to work hard throughout this upcoming week so that I can have at least one restful day of little obligations. This feat sometimes seems impossible when my writing intensive classes have us reading chapters upon chapters each week, but I so desperately want to carve out some personal time to dig deep into a book and just feel at peace for a few hours. 

5 // Maybe it's the unrealistic hype that works of fiction have engrained in me, but I so want to find my own little coffee shop to hide away in on foggy, rainy, or cloudy days. A place that serves a great cup of coffee, where I can sit for hours reading or doing homework. My search is quite officially on.

6 // In recommendation of a pretty sweet nine year old, I have *finally* updated my phone to iOS10. Not really sure what to think of the update, but I'm very relieved to no longer have to hit "Remind Me Later" every day.
