black friday picks

Hi guys! Usually I'm really not one to partake in the Black Friday shenanigans because I never really thought it was worth getting up in the morning and trekking into huge crowds with long lines. I already get nervous with that kind of thing, which is why I always prefer to stay home and relax! But, this year, something has changed...and honestly that's just all the online sales going on because of Black Friday. Aka, I can still do major shopping in the comforts of my bed with my laptop. Forget Cyber Monday, it has literally turned into a weekend-long event and I am definitely not complaining. Here are some of the sales I've been eyeing and taking advantage of, and just some items I've been wanting/getting inspiration from lately!

These are all the places on my list, with links!

• Glossier, 20% off entire purchase + free shipping
• Asos, 30% off + free shipping
• Madewell, 25% off 
• Revolve, up to 65% off
• Reformation, 30% off
• Anthropologie, 30% off
• Zara, 30% off
• Free People, up to 50% off select styles

Also this wasn't sponsored at all, just thought it'd be fun to post about the sales I'm keeping up with this weekend! I went to Anthropologie today and it was amazing. Also Kiehls, not mentioned above, is having an amazing sale ($20 off a $65 purchase) which is actually pretty good since they are expensive so it can definitely be worth it if you decide to splurge. Isn't it crazy this has become a weekend-long event? What sales are you keeping up with?

I'll definitely be posting some more content this week! This past week has been crazy with Thanksgiving and all that, and I've just been focused on being home and spending quality time with my family. It's such an amazing time of year and I love how it's only getting started.

the beauty of classic gold rings

Hi guys! I wanted to show you the gold rings that are going to be my new staples in my little ring collection. I am a real sucker for just simple bands and not a lot of accessorizing, simple, simple, simple. I guess like the rest of my style hehe! From their new collection, the Alchemy Collection, Marva Atelier features gorgeous, gold rings that are just simple gorgeous.

Thanks so much for your patience with this crazy week...I'm trying to get final school assignments done before Thanksgiving break (of course all the assignments are due the days we get back) so that is what I've been up to. ❤︎  But I can't wait for the holidays, woo!

new house plants

Hi guys! So yesterday, as you can probably guess from the title of this blogpost, I bought new plants for my room/apartment! I went to Union Square Market before it is taken up by Christmas booths, and went to my favorite plant section and picked out a couple of new babies for my collection. I don't know what it is, but buying new plants literally makes me happy on the inside. I also get sick of plants easily (I know...that doesn't even make sense...but I do). I bought 3 plants and so I decided to shake up my room a little bit, re-arrange some things, and add my new plants!

 






I ended up getting mostly succulents, one big collection and one little guy (who I named Antonio) and that one medium-sized plant that literally looks like a bush of succulents. I'm so sorry I don't know his exact name! Honestly I don't know if he has a different name from the others. I am pretty positive they are all succulents.

I'm probably going to water them every week, or maybe less because I tend to over water my plants. I also like to leave them out in the sunlight on my window sill when the light comes in during the morning hours. Hopefully these will stick with me through the winter! I really love their colors and just how they liven my space up. 

And that's all! Today is Sunday and I'm listening to Christmas music and about to start on homework for the rest of the day. How excited is everyone for Thanksgiving and the holiday season? I'm seriously too excited. I definitely want to do a video in where I decorate my room for Christmas...but we have to wait for Thanksgiving to pass first hehe!

Xoxo,
