How was everyones Thanksgiving?
I’m going back to last weekend with what I wore to the Chris Carrabba solo show. Dashboard Confessional was my absolute favorite throughout high school and college, and that hasn’t changed. I still love that man! *swoon*
P.S - I found a really big leaf…..
blazer: Anthropologie
tee: Gap
shorts: DIY cut off Citizens of Humanity
tights: H&M
necklace: Urban Outfitters
shoes: Jeffrey Campbell; Buffalo Exchange
Hopefully, everyone that I mailed one too has received theirs by now. So I can show you how I made my Save The Dates!
I know - I’m actually a bit early with these. But I’ve been planning them out since august, and I couldn’t wait any longer to get them done.
*what I used* :
-photo strips
-laminator
-magnets
-glue gun
-tissue paper
-bakers twine
-tags
After laminating all of the photos, I cut them into strips and glued a magnet onto the back. After a little wrapping with some kraft tissue paper and bakers twine, they were ready to be slipped into their envelopes and mailed out.
And ta-da! I really love the way they turned out. Exactly what I wanted. They’re super cute, no?

This outfit worked better in my head. Not that there is anything wrong with it - It just seemed more exciting when I was planning it out. But I liked it while I was wearing it, and I felt good in it. So that’s all that matters, right?

So, I’ve rocked the top knot quiet a few times now. And I’ve never felt weird wearing my hair this way - until I was editing these photos. Something seemed awkward about it. Is it too tall? Did I go a little excessive with my top know height? Or is it all in my head? How tall is too tall?
But other than that, I reaaaaally love this outfit. It was a happy accident, really. I never thought to pair these two tops together….. until I did. Obvs. And now I know that they were meant to be.
P.s- As this is being posted, Boo and I are headed back to Buffalo for the week. It doesn’t matter how many times we make this trip, I will never completely get used to these 8 hour car rides. My bum already hurts.

I will forever and always love Chris Carrabba. He is the one band/musician from high school/college that I haven’t grown out of. And I probably never will!

To see what this repeat offender thing is all about - read my first post.
To see the first time I wore this - go here.
This is one of the outfits, that when I decided to start this series, I knew I wanted to wear again. But after searching, it seems that the old skirt is m.i.a. (oh no!). But thats ok. I switched it out for another full, floral skirt, and it works just as well!
Boo and I had a lot of fun with these photos last weekend. It was a perfectly lazy sunday, the weather was gorgeous, and there were leaves everywhere!

I have another super easy DIY for you. I had some leftover magnets from my Save The Dates (DIY for that soon!). So I thought I would put them to good use.
all you need:
-magnets
-hot glue, or any glue
-buttons, pictures, or any odds and ends
I kept it really simple and dug out some buttons from my mass collection. I also used some of my bows that usually get made into my bow necklaces and hair pins. It only took about 10 minutes, and now we have a pretty fridge!

I seem to be having another one of those days with nothing to say. So instead, today I will link up to Rebecca’s (of Rebecca with an R) 3 little facts.
hockey: So, everyone knows by now that I’m a hockey fan. But did you know that I’m in 4 different fantasy leagues? Its an addiction.
nickname: In high school, my friends called me little seagull. It started when we exchange students in France. All the other hosts family gave my friends huge lunches - 2 sandwiches, 2 drinks, multiple snacks. But I would only get a bowl of rice and tomatoes and a little water. So after everyone was done eating, I would go around and pick at all of their leftovers. Like a seagull invading your picnic.
lost: Speaking of France - while we were in Paris, I got separated from the rest of my class. I was lost in a foreign country. True story.

necklace: Marc by Marc Jacobs
bracelet: Fusing Colors

Can we just talk about how beautiful the weather was for a few days last week? So beautiful, that I was able to go out in a skirt and no tights, and be completely comfortable. And no jacket/sweater! I thought those days were over for the season, so I’m happy we got to sneak in a few more days.
