Thrifting:

   Trends are forever being born. Ombre, colored jeans, and UGGS are just a few. However, I have heard of a newer trend: thrifting. Yes, thrifting is becoming bigger and bigger! Even with high school students! I was on Facebook a few days ago and a few of my friends were talking about getting a group together to go thrifting.

   I figured maybe this thrifting was a craft until someone asked the girl: What is thrifting? My friend explained that she gets a few girls together, they go to different thrift stores with a budget (there's was $20 each) buy a handful of affordable thrift items, go back to her house and swap! I thought it was one of the best ideas I've ever heard!

   They were even able to find name-brand products! American Eagle, Abercrombie and Fitch, Banana Republic, etc! They have different thrifting sessions for different things (clothing, shoes, home decor) throughout the year! I was tempted to go but I unfortunately didn't have any money so figured it would be a bust for me but I sure did love the idea!

   I plan on trying this one day when I have more money in the bank! I love the idea, you get a good deal, and you get to have a good time with your friends! What's not to love about this idea? Have any of you tried this? Would it be something you would be interested in doing? Chime in!

Fall Boots:

 
   As fall creeps in day by day I find myself looking at the upcoming fall fashions. One of fall's biggest fashions is boots. Today we take a look at the types of boots you may be wearing or see this fall.


   The ankle "Peter Pan" boots:

   I love ankle boots! AKA "Peter Pan" boots. I have a pair kind of like these but they're grey. For some reason they remind me of Peter Pan, I have no idea why but that's what they remind me of. They're so comfortable and come in some of the cutest styles and colors!

   The riding boots:

   Riding boots...one of my favorites! They're country with a sophisticated twist, see the bows on the middle one? These boots are made for riding horses and for the farm life but I have seen these babies walking the aisles of Target! They look great and can feel great too! Just make sure you pick your right size and try them on because not all are all that comfy.

   UGG boots:

   UGG boots, a fashion phenomenon. As I have never worn an authentic pair of UGG boots, I have tried on boots just like them. They're really comfy and perfect to wear during the cold days. Most of these types of boots are lined with fleece to keep your feet extra warm! Plus, they come in a variety of colors and are pretty cute!

   Combat boots:

   The combat boot. The perfect boot for the edgy, wild child. While originally designed for combat "hence the name combat boots" these boots have made they're way into the fashion world. Stars like Isabelle Lucas (Transformers) and Kate Bosworth (Straw Dogs) have shown and represented their love for these powerful babies. I've even seen them paired with dresses!

   The fur boot:

   I honestly am at a loss for words...I just don't know. It looks as if someone has hunted down the abominable snowman, skinned him, and taken his fur to put on boots. This is one trend that I don't understand and never will. There are better options if you want cozy and cute boots because these in my opinion are far from being remotely "cute."


   So, what's your favorite fall trend? Is the ankle boot your style or do you think I'm wrong about the fur boot? Weigh in!


   Xoxo, Sarah.











Upcoming Fall Fashion:

   Fall is almost here and I don't know about you, but I'm excited! I'm excited for the hoodies, the boots, the football, the rain, the orange leaves, everything! I love fall! I would have to say it's my favorite season! The thought of sitting in my pj's with a cup of cocoa watching the crisp leaves fall of the trees and onto the grounds is making me a real happy girl. This summer has been hot! Especially here in Northern Cal where I live.

   Anyways, let's talk fashion. I've been on Pinterest drooling over the fall recipes but most of all...I'm drowning over the fall fashion. Here are a few trends that I see coming this fall:

Burgundy Pants

   I see burgundy pants becoming a red hot trend this fall. They're really versatile. You could dress them up with a nice blouse, heels, and fall-themed jewelry or you could dress them down with a chunky sweater, boots, and glasses. So to keep up with fall's fashion, buy a pair of burgundy pants. You'll thank me later.

   High flat boots or riding boots. I've seen a lot of these in new ads and I have to say I think I might invest in a pair of high boots myself (I only have ankle boots.) I really like the color of these. I think the light brown is perfect for fall. While I do like black boots, I think black boots could be saved more for winter than fall. Black/grey boots look great in winter photos, or a bright color like red or yellow.



   Denim shirts. I love denim shirts no matter what season it is but I especially love them in fall! Denim on denim will keep you warm but also will keep you looking chic. You could wear a denim shirt on an errand, at a tailgate party, or on a casual date.

   There are my favorite fall fashions! I'll be doing more fall-themed blog posts soon as fall is quickly approaching! On September 22nd to be exact! I'll be posting some fall crafts, baking, fashion, and beauty! Are you excited yet? I am!



Xoxo, Sarah.



What I've Been Up To Lately:

   I know that I've been absent lately but it's all in good reason. And if I'm ever absent from here you can see me on Pinterest as well. What can I say, I'm apart of the pinning obsession as well. My Pinterest is: http://pinterest.com/sarahisofficial/.

   As for what I've been up to lately I have been busy turning 18! Woohoo! Legal adult! I know, how crazy is that? I had a wonderful birthday week full of family, friends, and laughter. I was also surprised by a concert to see Lonestar and Charlie Daniels.

Fun Fact About Me: When I was younger I was OBSESSED with Lonestar. I loved them so much in fact they were on my 9th birthday cake!

   I also have been getting ready for my senior year. Another woohoo! I'm ready for my senior year because I'm ready to get out of high school. While high school has never had a dull moment, it has been long enough. I'm ready to start the rest of my life and move on. College...here I come. Well, next year at least. I plan on doing my general education at the local community college and then transferring to a four-year university.

   In addition to those things, I've been looking for a job. Just an entry-level position in retail. I would really like to get more experience and it would be nice to save a little money before college. I need a car. I'm going to need textbooks. I like shopping for clothes. I want to start paying for my own stuff. I just want to be responsible. I could sit back and let my parents pay for everything, but that would be just too boring. Haha!

   Well, for now that is what I wanted to blog about, that way you all know what I'm up to. Please pray that I do well in school this year and I'm able to find a decent job! I love you all!



Xoxo, Sarah


P.S. More blogs are to come! Are there anymore specific blogs you would like to see? (Fashion, Beauty, something different?) I'm considering doing more movie review blogs as my reviews are some of my most viewed blogs as are my home decor oriented posts. Let me know by commenting! If you just want to say "hi" that's fine too! :)

If You Were Rich...

   Today as I read GQ Magazine (my mom bought it for me when she saw Joseph Gordon-Levitt on the front, because I love him) I stopped to smell a few of the perfume scratchers they had. One was Gucci and the other was Chanel. As I smelled the perfumes I found myself thinking..."If I was rich, what would be my signature brand?"
  
   I contemplated my answer for awhile. Would it be Dolce & Gabbana? No. Would it be Prada? No. Would it be Marc Jacobs? No. Would it be Chanel? Yes. My signature brand if I were rich would be Chanel. I love Chanel. I love the elegance and class that the Chanel designs radiate. I also love their perfumes and makeup.



   Of course as a woman it is my natural instinct to love all things expensive, haha! Just kidding, but I do like good quality products. I think the most that I've ever spent on a shirt is probably like $25. I shop at Marshall's, Target, and Kohl's. Those are my main three stores. Marshall's has some really good deals on designers that you know. Target can be hit and miss, sometimes I love their clothes and other times I can't find anything. Kohl's is exactly the same as Target, sometimes I find the best things and sometimes I find the worst.


  So, if you were rich what would be your signature brand and why?




   Dreaming of walking the streets of Paris in a Chanel dress with Joseph Gordon-Levitt on my arm, Sarah. xoxo

   And he would be looking like this:
