Cyber FUNday

Happy Cyber Monday, Darling! The only time that a Monday can actually be fun! Only 360 more days until Thanksgiving 2018, but hey, who is counting?

I hope that everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving weekend! Mine was filled with family, friends, and SO much food. Call me crazy, but I look forward to my family’s Thanksgiving brunch more than the actual turkey dinner. If you had my dad’s crepes you would understand, too. They are delicious! My sister Emma and I ran the Pittsburgh Turkey Trot 5k on Thanksgiving morning, so you better believe we ate all of the bacon and eggs in sight when we got to my parents’ house.

Ah Finally, I found the perfect oversized cozy sweater. I just bought this sweater from H&M for under $50 the day before Thanksgiving and could not wait to wear it. H&M has 30% off everything today for Cyber Monday. HURRY before it’s gone! I am so in love. And paired with my favorite pair of over-the-knee boots and jeans makes for such a cute and easy look! These Forever 21 boots also under $50 are great because they have a tie in the back so you don’t have to keep pulling them up! They also came in black, so I had to buy both! It looks like they are no longer available, but here is a similar pair! Their Cyber Monday deal is 21% off EVERYTHING!

So, who has started their Christmas shopping already? If you have, I am impressed. Teach me your ways! What were your best Black Friday deals and what are you shopping for this Cyber Monday?!

I would love to hear from you <3

I am planning a fun surprise for December, so keep an eye out 😉

Girl’s Best Friend

girl's best friend Holiday Countdown: 13 days until Thanksgiving, 45 days until Christmas, 51 days until New Years Eve! Time is flyingg

This week on the blog, we have a special guest. Meet McKinley, my one year old Great Dane! After doing a LOT of research on what dog would be best for my lifestyle, I decided on a Great Dane. He is so gentle, sleeps a ton, and has a hilarious personality. He weighs about 150 lbs. and is three feet tall. It is hard to believe, but he is actually still growing! I can’t take McKinley anywhere without getting stopped on the street by people. He is just as lazy as he is friendly. If this dog lays down on our walk before we make it home, we aren’t going anywhere.

Call me a crazy dog owner, but I bought the two of us this adorable matching set from Friendship Collar. Whoever said that diamonds are a girl’s best friend never owned a dog. But that doesn’t mean you boys are off the hook! Some (most) people said I was crazy for getting a dog just a year after graduating, especially one as big as McKinley, but I LOVE having him around. He is the best Netflix buddy and makes me feel so much safer living in the city. I read quite a few blogs about Great Danes before getting my own. The Lunchbox Diaries has great posts about her dog!

Okay enough about the pup. let’s talk about this super easy look for a warm fall day. It has been 50 degrees for most of fall in Pittsburgh, so we need to get creative! This look took four simple pieces: High waisted jeans, a plain top, sneakers, and a cute leather jacket. Piece of cake! Leather jackets are always in style, but they are so much more fun in color! I have also paired this faux jacket with blue jeans and leopard flats (SO cute!) It was a great find at Forever 21 for $20, such a deal. Ugh, if only McKinley got the memo and had a red collar on!

Who else is culprit of buying the same style of something in several colors?! As you can tell, I wear these adidas sneakers ALL of the time with anything and everything. They come in so many different colors, so there is a pair for everyone. Cute and comfortable can be hard to come by so when I find the perfect shoes, I need them in more than one color!

What do you and your dog do for fun?! I would love to hear from you <3
