Life Lately

 

I have a little update post today! I may make this into a series, but I would want to find a new title first, so if you have suggestions, leave them below! I thought it would be fun to share a few personal updates but also include sections on what I am reading, watching, drinking and shopping for!

Life Updates:

Like many 20-somethings in 2020, I have fought that I may need to move home. But after thinking about it A LOT, I have decided that is whats best for me at this point. It will be great to save money and spend so much time with my family before I hopefully attend medical school next fall. It will also be amazing to be there for the holidays, and not have to worry about travel. If you do not know, I am from Minnesota, but moved to New Jersey for graduate school in 2018. It was always my dream to live on the East coast and be close to NYC, and could finally live that out in 2018. I am sad to leave the East, but am vowing that I will be back soon! (So all the NJ, NY, PA, and CT schools I applied to, please accept me, haha) I'm moving back to MN soon, so I don't think it makes sense to put up my Christmas tree for a short while, but I did put up my stocking and put a bow on my pineapple lamp! I'm also NOT ready for the cold cold weather of a MN winter....send warm thoughts please before I freeze! I am going to miss living in NJ, and will be eating all the pizza before I move. 


What I'm Reading/Watching:

Recently finished reading Majesty and just about done with The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo! We are currently rewatching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and will definitely be binging the new season of The Crown when it comes out this weekend.


Currently Coffee Order:

-Grande cold brew with light sweet cream and 2 pumps of peppermint (putting me in the holiday mood!) It has also been so unseasonably warm, so I am still wanting cold coffee, but know I that will not be the case when I get back to MN, haha. 


What's in my Cart: 

I love online window shopping, so I have very full virtual carts everywhere! My top picks are: this plaid dress, holiday jammies, this sweater and these slippers- all cozy things!


That's all for this little life lately. I wish everyone a fantastic weekend!

Look at these pretty pearls! They are from Kristen Diana Designs, and you can use code LLPEARLS for 10% off until the end of November!


As always,

#dontforgetyourpearls

A Thanksgiving Look

Turtleneck  |   Skirt  |   Tights  |   Boots Thanksgiving is only one week away! I am excited to go home, and spend time with my family and friends. This is a holiday that is HARD to dress for. On one hand, you want to wear joggers and a big sweater because of all of the yummy food and treats. On the other hand, you want to dress up, or slightly dress up while still feeling comfy. Hence, the big dressing dilemma: how to create the right look for your kind of holiday? I like to dress it up a little , without wearing a cocktail outfit or gown, haha. I created this look for a dressy, casual look. It is an easy outfit to put together, and I bet you have some similar pieces in your closet! A turtleneck, plaid skirt and tights is such a classic fall look that is also great for this holiday. It is kind of an easy dressing equation too because it is so easy to mix and match what you have in your closet, or buy one new piece that you know will go with an...

My Gal Meets Glam Collection

Hello! You might have already figured this out, but I have a serious obsession with every single Gal Meets Glam dress and collection . I feel like I am starting to grow quite the collection of the insanely beautiful dresses. I recently did a poll on my Instagram, and you guys said that you wanted to see my collection. I have compiled pictures from older posts, and from my iPhone to show you! I have purchased all of these on sale, or received them as gifts (thanks mom). I think getting them on sale is my secret for buying Gal Meets Glam dresses. They are 100% worth the investment, and will always be in style because they are such classic pieces and silhouettes. A new collection comes out about every month, and every month I look at it, and think: I want it all!! The next drop is March 13th, and I am so excited!! I have added the name of each dress below the picture. Because these are from the "older" collections, I cannot find most of the links. But here are my tips if you...
