this is the moment, extremely late at night, when i sit and wonder when this year came to an end and where december went. the past month has completely flown by and 2015 is basically hours away. i’ve been taking a little break from blogging while i’ve been home on break, but i will be getting back into the swing of things soon. so until then, this is december in a nutshell.

chai, fall, fall fashion, leopard, music, nails

favorite fall thingsrifle paper co. phone case //  one of my favorite quotes // the album i can’t stop listening to // shoes that seem amazing // one of my favorite hats // a nail polish look i’d love to try out // my fall addiction

once i get into a routine i tend to stick with it for a while, becoming mildly obsessed with different aspects of it. now that fall finally has arrived i have a few things that i more than love and can’t get enough of.

i happen to be absolutely obsessed with that leopard phone case. i’ve been using my rifle paper co. new york phone case since this summer and it’s amazing. it hasn’t gotten messed up after being dropped more times than i’d like to admit so i haven’t felt the need to change my phone case… until now.

thanks to pinterest i can now keep all of my favorite quotes in one place, which has been a blessing and a curse. once i’m on pinterest i can’t get off, and since i have a soft spot for inspirational sayings, i could spend a ridiculous amount of time compiling one of my inspirational boards.

i love music, especially anything that is folksy/indie. during my heyday in high school i was a big dashboard confessional fan… chris carrabba was my boy. the other day i wish watching reign (a new cw show that i LOVE) and a scene came on that i was instantly obsessed with. first, the main character was dancing in the middle of a ballroom with her best friends in a scene straight out of my dreams, and second the background song was literally perfect. after a little stalking i found that the band in question was twin forks and the song was back to you, and unsurprisingly my boy, chris carrabba, was a lead singer of this new band. i’ve had their EP on repeat for the past few days, and i recommend you take a listen! (back to you is actually great)

i love almost anything leopard. i’ve been eyeing these slippers for what seems like forever but at this point i can’t find them anywhere. hopefully they’ll pop up on a discount site one of these days, but until then i’ll keep searching.

now that it’s getting cold i can FINALLY enjoy chai lattes. for me they happen to be highly addictive, so i caved and had my first one last week. once i kick off the chai season i consume an insane amount… this year i’m going to try my hardest to practice more control.

thanks to my mane of hair i am a collector of baseball caps. usually i always have one in my bag, and other than my college baseball cap, i love wearing the one above.

i have been waiting to try out matte nails for the longest time, and i love how it looks with black nail polish. if i finish work early tonight, this is something i will definitely try out.

grilled shrimp, leopard, new york, reading, summer, summer reading, white eyelet

photo 1the temperature has finally changed and it is hot as hell, but in the words of icona pop, i don’t care, i love it. with this heat comes a change in clothing, aka i only have been wearing light-colored clothes or white, because i will sweat (or pass out) in anything else. the amount of white clothing i have is ridiculous, but at least i acknowledge it and put it to good use. i’ll be starting work on monday (which i am so excited about), and i’ve been trying to get some cooking in beforehand. if you know me, you know that i love seafood, and once the summer rolls around i can’t get enough of it. i’ve recently discovered grilled shrimp marinated in beer and old bay seasoning, and it is one of the easiest/best recipes ever. ever (huge claim i know, but i promise it’s the best). since it’s extremely hot i’ve been sending dramatic snapchats about the heat (my dog is the star of many of them), making quite a few runs for starbucks for passion iced tea lemonades,  and heading into the city whenever i get the chance. if you can experience new york in the summer (when the heat doesn’t make you feel like you have to stay inside) i highly encourage it. so until my next post i’ll leave you with some pictures of summer so far (and maybe even a gratuitous selfie, just because).photo 3

hi there, it's me, meg. this happened to be snapchat.. which was later captioned with riding dirty (something i clearly wasn't doing)..

finally got around to summer reading! yes, that book on the bottom is about westward expansion, and yes, i couldn't be more excited to read it.

tumblr_mlgmhpKjbS1qa9ddao1_500i am back in good ol’ new york, and finally i feel like i can sleep! while unpacking my room i have also been preparing for a new job, so it’s been nothing short of busy. not to mention i injured my hand so it is currently wrapped in a little cast, making typing not too easy. once my room is done (i’ll post about it) i can finally feel settled in. one of the upsides of coming home is feeling like you don’t have to dress up, basically it’s okay to live in workout pants and t-shirts. i’ve realized i need to break this pattern and fast, so here are some outfits i am absolutely loving. (this also took me forever to type, i miss my fully functioning hand) tumblr_mlwtm4H1sK1qa3sufo1_500tumblr_mla3r5ZHR71qahe9so1_500-1tumblr_mgn1lpXUkn1qa3sufo1_500-1tumblr_mjxbu0swM51qbya53o1_500-1tumblr_mkc49o9fht1qzdcn0o1_500

fashion, heart, inspiration, intution, leopard, shoes, walking

tumblr_mbjik1PCOe1riy8nao1_500i love this quote, plain and simple. sometimes in life you can try to make everyone happy, please everyone, but in the end you yourself won’t be happy, or true to yourself. finals are coming up (along with christmas!!) but during this time i need to take these words to heart. it may be a bit straightforward, but it gets the point across.

so as an ode to “following your intuition” here is a tribute to shoes, and legs, and walking in the literal sense, but try to envision the figurative message i’m trying to convey..

fall, fall clothes, fashion, j.crew, knits, leather, leopard, madewell, outfits, stripes, sweaters

yesterday i popped into madewell after work (like i almost always do) and started talking to some of the employees about the fall 2012 line. i was allowed to take a peak at the upcoming window displays, and let me tell you, it was amazing. the shoes alone are out of this world and i am counting down until this collection is released in stores. head over to madewell.com for a sneak peek at their fall collection. i promise you won’t be disappointed!  (all photos courtesy of madewell)

J.Crew Shirt // J.Crew skirt // J.Crew leopard ballet flats // Michael Kors Watch // Grandma’s ring

Something I absolutely love doing is mixing prints, especially stripes and animal print. The combination just works, and the fact that this skirt is red and blue makes it even better! Both the skirt and shoes aren’t available any more, but the v-necks happen to be on sale. The majority of this outfit happens to be J.Crew,   but that’s what happens when you work there!

take a peek…
