Bye, November.

The holiday weekend came and went. I ate a lot and enjoyed every minute of it. I spent four days with the ones I love the most, and wish it would have lasted a little longer (and that I had more leftovers in my fridge). I couldn't be more thankful for the life I have. This year has definitely been a transition for me; from changing jobs and industries all together, to most of my friends getting in engaged and moving into big-people-homes and being in my first wedding, to turning 25 (I'll spear you the details) but it all has really helped me in realizing what my goals are as I become "an adult". Weird. I mean really, I remember being 15 and stressing about getting my driving permit, and now its "oh shit, I need to establish some real good credit if I ever what to be concerned for a home loan." I'll save that topic for another post, but my point is we're one month closer to 2015. I'm excited and I want to accomplish a lot in the next year (you can read about those things here). Here are a few pictures from the past weekend.

Sugar coated cranberries | I didn't end up using them on my pumpkin pie 

because they were a little too tart but they sure looked festive and pretty!

Keep it coming.

We are finally starting to get some much needed rain here. I'm hoping it just down-pours because I seriously have the best rain-boots that my bf got me for Christmas last year, and I have yet to put those babies to good use. Talk about a major fashion crisis - Hunter/ Rag & Bone boots should not be collecting dust. E V E R. I just may need to slip them on when I get home, even if the rain has stopped, to warm them up. So Rain-Gods, if you are listening; bring it. Sincerely, Lauren. This is kinda how I know I made the right choice in moving back home because who else gets this amped about rain - only this girl. The part I could do without are the crappy drivers who freakout like they may die while trying to get anywhere in the rain. Imagine if we actually got real weather storms here, people would loose their shit. I on the other hand have more outerwear than any California girl actually needs, and probably put together my cutest outfits during fall and winter. Honestly though, whether you like the rain or not, we need it so bad. 

And my rain rant is over.

FPME - I need a favor!! Hearts to Home Office

Oh wow I have not posted in quite some time... 

I am looking for some help from anyone (and everyone) who loves fashion, shopping, 

style, and the brand Free People!!

I am reach out in the hopes you may help me in trying to receive a trip back to Philly next month 

to visit the corporate Free People home office ( which is a huge dream of mine!! ).

I am seeking help through the internet because I currently work 40 hours and sadly am unable 

to see anyone lately because I have been putting 120% of my time into my job // 

on top of my boyfriend currently being away at the Rim Fire (Yosemite, California) 

so my off time is spent taking care of our dogs.

I hope you can find a little time to help me out // To me this is much more than a contest, 

it would be more of a blessing! I worked extremely hard to get my Free People job 

(persisting for over a month for even an interview) and then stepping up the past fews months 

to help manage our store in time of need, this would literally mean so much to me!!

This is the Last Week of the contest and I have found out that I am in the 11th spot 

and need to make it into the top 5!! So it is possible!!

The contest is working like this - I have 10 recent style pictures from the month of August 

and those are the only pictures that count, and I need to receive over 100 hearts on each. 

If each of us liked all 10 I would absolutely land in the top 5 without a doubt. 

If in anyway I can help promote or support any important project or dream of your's that 

comes your way please let me know!! I TRULY appreciate to support!!

You do have to create an FPME username but I stand solely behind this brand 

and know you will not receive ridiculous spam. // 

We have a little something for everyone, I promise! 

Check out our thermals, sweaters, jackets, 

and boots for fall.. super cute!

Thank you so much!!!
