Antlers and Wood, Oh My

This past summer my boyfriend inherited a house. My boyfriend can barely dress himself let alone decorate a house. Obviously the fashion major girlfriend came to the rescue. This house is completely barren; no paint, no molding, no furniture...nothing. We had to start from scratch. As many people know, no matter how much you want to move in immediately it is so much easier to decorate a house before you move. However, he was living with friends when he was given his own home so he decided to move in. Not only did he move in alone, but he invited two of his friends to live with him as his roommates. So the little 5'4 girlfriend has to decorate around the three very opinionated 6'5 men. First, I started asking around for any furniture any one wanted to give away because with new random bills and house things my boyfriend just couldn't juggle it all at once. I received tons of palm tree and beach themed stuff because we live near the east coast in the middle of all beaches. I figured the living room could be beachy and random furniture that didn't match could go in the "man cave." However, the beach theme just doesn't appeal in this house, it's too manly and we live in the country. So we scratched the beach theme and I thought we should bring the man cave throughout the whole house. Of course I got some inspiration from Pinterest.
 I love the way they decorated this big wall and used all of the space. In the living room one wall is HUGE and there's no way you could ever cover it all. This wall covering would be perfect for it.
 This chandler is so masculine but feminine at the same time. This is a great marriage of two worlds, southern with a classy twist.
 How cute is this ladder!? I would do without the white chain because it looks a little 90s. I love the hooks and it even make laundry look cute hanging up which is a once in a lifetime deal ha..
 What manly way can you display glasses? With a old rake of course!
In love with dear heads, whether it is a statue or outline. It's a simple way to have a big impact in a room.

OOTD: Team Leggings as Pants

For the past two years as people started wearing leggings as pants I always hated seeing the sight of people wearing normal shirts with their barely covered derrière in plain site. But like all things, I had to jump on the bandwagon and try it out. However, I decided to wear a shirt that was almost to my knees. 

I wore my denim Nine West denim shirt with the H&M blue scarf shown below.

For my arm candy I wore my favorite watch by Michael Kors. Which can be found here.The face is really big so it doesn't give much room for many bracelets so I wore only my gold chain bracelet. The bracelet is a knockoff of the classic John Wind charm bracelet.
Obviously any southern girl needs a monogram on at all times. I wore my gold "A" ring from the boutique I worked at this summer.

This is a terrible picture, but these are my new riding boots from Belk I got last week. I am loving the riding boot trend so I decided to get this Kim Rogers pair.

Fall Haul

After getting out my winter clothes, I realized that I really don't have that many winter clothes. This weekend me and my mom went out shopping and I thought I would share what we bought.
 Chunky pearl necklaces are so in this season. I wanted to join the crowd but every pearl necklace I saw was too expensive or not chunky enough. I found this chunky necklace at Roses when I was buying cheap christmas lights (I know, a little early) and it was only 6 dollars! It comes in silver and gold but I wear more gold now.
 I got these two necklaces at a local boutique that I worked at this summer. I needed a jewel looking neutral necklace and thought this was perfect! I also love this style. The gold necklace underneath is a long heavy gold chain with pearls and crosses. It is super cute with sweaters and boots.

This necklace is gorgeous with a plain black shirt. It is a classy pearl bubble necklace in silver.

 I also bought this key top and denim top. The denim top is Nine West from TjMaxx and its long and big enough to wear with leggings. I also got the Durango boots I'm wearing from my grandparents hardware store.
This is a terrible picture and doesn't do this shirt justice. However, I got this super cute cobalt blue top with huge sleeves and criss cross back. I also got my dress for my college's junior ring dinner but I will post it later after the event.
