Hey everyone!

I still can’t believe that my classes started 3 weeks ago, and that I took my first test of the year last Friday!  Every fall, I feel so busy because I want to enjoy what’s left of summer as well as get ready for school.  I’ve been trying to fit in as many fun, outdoor activities as I can into my daily schedule because it’s still so warm and beautiful outside.  I have also been shopping for new clothes and stocking up on school supplies for the whole year.  I try to buy everything that I might need for my classes during this time of the year because so many stores are having huge discounts and sales right now.

However, I usually find that I underestimate how many printer ink and toner cartridges I use and I tend to run out of them around February.  For my classes, most of my professors use PowerPoint.  I like printing out the powerpoints to take notes on them, so I must use up a ton of ink and toner!  I am always searching for stores or sites that offer printer cartridges at affordable prices all year round.  I love being able to find products that I need at a great deal whenever I need them.

I really enjoy sharing my thoughts and details about my life with you, and I love it when you interact with me.  Let me know if you enjoy these types of posts, because I think I’ll be doing more of them.

xoxo,

Linda

Summer Vacation in Europe!

My blog has moved to http://www.tenderallure.com/.  To keep up with my latest posts, outfits, giveaways, and more, check out my new blog!  I would love it if you could joined me at my new blog  :)

Hey everyone!

This school year is almost over for me!  I've only got 3 more weeks before summer vacation :)  Finals week is going to be awful, but then I'm free!  I'm going to be working all summer, but I also just found out that I'm lucky enough to go on a super exciting vacation.  My parents called me to tell me that they planned a family vacation in Europe because they miss me and want to spend more time with me.  I'm beyond excited!  I'm literally jumping up and down in happiness while I write this post :)  I am really looking forward to spending time with my family and seeing some amazing sites.

I don't really know where I'll be going as of right now because we are still planning everything, but I'll be gone during the last week of June and the first week of July.  I don't think I'll be able to put up any posts or videos while I'm on vacation, but I will definitely share pictures, and maybe even some video clips, when I come back!  I think I'm going to write a few posts ahead of time and schedule them to go up while I'm gone so you don't completely miss me :)

Also, I'm going to be super busy during the week after I come back from vacation because I will be moving apartments and attending a wedding.  I'm actually supposed to move out of my apartment into my new one while I'm on vacation, but my friends and roommates have been super nice and helpful in offering to move my stuff for me while I'm gone.  So, I'll be unpacking and arranging all of my things when I get back :)

Let me know if you have any suggestions for places to go, sites to see, and more!  We are mainly looking to visit Germany, Austria, and Hungary.  I'd love to read your comments.

xoxo,

Linda

Comfortable, Trendy, and Cute Outfit for School or Class

My blog has moved to http://www.tenderallure.com/.  To keep up with my latest posts, outfits, giveaways, and more, check out my new blog!  I would love it if you could joined me at my new blog  :)

Hey everyone!

I wanted to show you what I wore to class today!  Check out my video of this outfit on Youtube!

I chose a simple blue off-the-shoulder top because it is so soft and laid-back.  It isn't too dressed up since all you're doing is attending class.  Yet, it's still feminine and cute because it shows skin in a very classy way.  Just showing a little bit of your shoulders is attractive, but in an appropriate way for the school setting.  This top just says fun fashion when you are wearing it!  I paired this top with plain black yoga pants because they are super comfortable and make it easier to get settled in your seat when you have to sit in class for hours.  The black color and the tight fit of these pants make your legs look slimmer and balance off the slightly large top.  This is such a staple piece for any wardrobe!

Earrings:  PacSun
Scarf:  eBay
Necklace:  Gift
Shirt:  American Eagle
Tank Top:  Abercrombie & Fitch
Pants:  Old Navy
Flats:  Charlotte Russe

Of course, this outfit needs the perfect accessories to make it stand out.  The pink-flowered scarf that I paired with this outfit is the main accessory that really makes this outfit pop.  The color works well with the blue top since the white background of the scarf really makes the pink of the flowers add some brightness to this outfit.  I also layered a pink tank top under my top to add an unexpected pop of color that adds to and enhances the effect of the scarf.  I topped this all off with silver rhinestone flower earrings, a purple butterfly pendant, and a gold bracelet.  My black bow flats added to the overall femininity of the outfit and helped to counterbalance the dark-colored clothing.

I hope you enjoy this outfit!  I look forward to putting up more posts!

xoxo,
Linda
