Monday Melodies End-of-Summer Playlist + Link-up!

Hey guys! Today I'm co-hosting Monday Melodies along with Hima of Hima Hearts and Marla of A Weekend Crossing! Monday Melodies is an awesome link-up of music-related posts. So, today I'm gonna be sharing my 'end-of-summer' playlist!

 

These are basically the songs I've been loving all summer. It's kind of a random mix of pop-punk, EDM, folk, and various other things. Why have a defined music taste when you can listen to a little bit of everything, amirite? :)

Make sure to link-up you music posts below!

Love In A Box Blogger Swap

Hello everyone! I was super excited to be a part of the Love in a Box blogger swap, hosted by Megan and Kimberly. I was paired up with Chloe from Wanderlust in the Midwest, and it was so fun getting to know her and shop for her! Anyways, I received my box from Chloe, and I am basically in love with all the things she sent me. 
Isn't she cute? Here's what she included:
These earrings- let me tell you, they are even more gorgeous in person! Although I have plugs, I do have a second lobe piercing, so I am definitely going to be wearing these babies. Aren't they beautiful? 
I told her I liked things that smell nice, and this candle was no disappointment! Candles are one of my shopping addictions, I don't think I could ever have too many, haha! And this one smells wonderful :)
This scarf from Forever 21 was definitely my favorite item! I basically squealed when I saw this. I've been wanting a cute spring scarf for a while, so you have no idea how excited I was that Chloe included this! It's basically the cutest.
And finally, candy! She included my favorites- chocolate and peanut butter :) I may or may not have already eaten half of this...

Once again, A huge thank you to Chloe for my awesome box! Make sure to check out her blog to see what I sent her :)

Happy Tuesday!

The Liebster Award!

Hi guys! I've been nominated for the Liebster Award by the lovely Amber of The Lacuna Stich! While I've been nominated for this award a few times in the past, I realized I've never actually done it. So today, you get to find out a little more about me, and see who I nominated to answer some of my own questions!

Here we go!

My Facts
1. My boyfriend, Skylar, and I will have been dating for 4 years this coming May.
2. My favorite type of dance is Jazz!
3. If I could live anywhere, I would choose England, or northern California.
4. I am currently playing in my college's basketball pep band (playing tuba, of course!)
5. I consider myself to be agnostic.
6. The first musical I was ever in was Bye Bye Birdie.
7. For all the whovians out there, my otp is Rose and the 10th Doctor.
8. In 2008, I spent 2 weeks in Europe.
9. One of my favorite things to do is sing to my cat, by singing popular songs and replacing words with her name. Yeah I'm pretty lame.
10. My absolute favorite band is Fall Out Boy, and I've seen them once in 2007. I'd love to see them again!
11. I am a junior in college, but I am planning to graduate in 2016.

The Questions

1. Was there another blogger who inspired you to start your own blog?
Yes, actually! I remember the first blog I stumbled upon (using stumbleupon, incidentally, haha!) was Delightfully Tacky. I had never even heard of fashion or lifestyle blogs before, and after discovering her blog and falling in love with it, I became obsessed with reading other blogs, and decided to start my own!

2. Why did you start blogging in the first place?
It started out of boredom, mostly haha! I loved reading other blogs and getting inspiration from them, and I just thought it would be fun to share my own personal style and things that inspired me with other people. 

3. Are you a cat person, or a dog person?
Cat person, all the way. Don't get me wrong, I love dogs, but I am definitely a cat person at heart.

4. If you could see any group in concert, who would it be, and why?
I am dyingggg to see Fall Out Boy again. They've been my favorite band since I was 13, haha. I saw them once in 2007, and I would love to see them again!

5. What's the riskiest thing you've done style wise?
Hmm, I'm not really sure! Probably chopping all my hair off last year, if that counts!

6. Have you ever had a crazy hair cut/color?
The craziest cut I've ever had was definitely the pixie cut I got last year! also, I've dyed my hair some crazy colors back in middle school...I wish I had some photos but my hair has been both pink & purple.

7. Does your family know about your blog?
My parents do, and I think they're pretty supportive of it. I'm pretty sure I have some extended family that reads every once in a while too (hi guys!)

8. If you could only wear one pair of shoes, what would it be?
Flats or sneakers of some sort, definitely. Probably a pair of oxford flats, because they can go with both jeans and dresses!

9. Where is your favorite place to shop?
Thrift stores, definitely! You never know what you'll find, and that makes it super fun. Plus, how can you say no to the prices?

10. What type of movies do you like to watch?
I like lots of different types of movies. I especially like scary movies, actually! And documentaries.

11. What would be your idea of the perfect day?
Sleeping in for a bit, lounging around the house with my boyfriend and a cup of coffee in the morning, and then venturing out to the mall or a park in the afternoon. It would be spring or summer time, of course! :) Then it would end with a bonfire with friends!

Q: If you could invent (something unusual) right now , what would it be?

Whitney:
I would invent a "makeup machine" that puts on a full face of makeup in seconds instead of the regular 30 minutes or so.

Kim:
Maybe I would invent some kind of tiny machine to do ALL types of house cleaning for me. That would be awesome. Just set a cleaning schedule for it and then press the button "GO." A girl can dream...

Brooke:
I would invent a portable coffee maker...as a college student and coffee lover, it would be a lifesaver!

Noor :
I'd invent a robot who could do all kind of nail stuff, from pedicure menicure and nail art. Because I suck at nail stuff.

Areeba:
I would invent a car that can turn an aeroplane when I'm in mood of flying, turn into a submarine when I wanna hangout with fishes (don't count sharks in) and turn into a boat when I wanna have a trip to the sea!

Rhea :
An office chair teleporter - one click and I'm at work, another click I'm back home. No more dealing with traffic to and from work!

#ZabrinaSecretSanta!

I was super excited to be a part of the #Zabrina secret santa hosted by Sabrina of Cattails and Cardigans and Z of Sometimes Z Takes Pictures. And finally, I received a package from the lovely Sabrina herself!


I was SO EXCITED to receive this! I was completely overwhelmed by all of the thought that went into this and the nice things I received! In total, I received an adorable purse, mustard yellow hat (which will look great with my hair, I think!), a pair of jeans, tons of makeup, and lots of candy!


Not only that, but Sabrina also gave me a gift card to Oh My Word! Body Jewelry for a pair of handmade plugs! How sweet is that? I've been e-mailing with the owner about what I'd like to have made for me, and I'm leaning towards a lovely pink ivory set! 

I'd like to thank Sabrina and Z for hosting such a fun exchange, and Sabrina for the wonderful gift, It's so lovely! (You can also check out everyone else's gift reveals here!)
