Life Lately

what I've been up to...

10+ years later & K-State still feels like home! 💜 Loved spending Homecoming weekend with my family!

It was a bad day to be a beer or a jayhawk fan in Manhattan! 18 STRAIGHT!!!

Love spending my weekends in a spot I love full well!

Absolutely love a gameday weekend, but man we are so tired afterwards!

I made the most delicious “lazy girl potato soup” on Sunday. It has been hitting the spot!

This pic was taken after her Monday morning zoomies on the way to our faculty meeting.

On the bookshelf this week!

I accidentally clipped some roadkill while driving the other day & Piper just discovered it. She wants to smell EVERY INCH of my tire!

My mums are looking SO GOOD!

My parents are staying near me for a couple of weeks. Piper & I have really enjoyed spending some extra time with them! We’ve gone on lots of walks (found two dead baby snakes — I thought it was too cold for them to be out right now?!) & enjoyed mom’s delicious taco soup.

Monthly chiropractor appointment: check.

When your guidance class finishes early + the fall weather is beautiful, you go outside to enjoy the sunshine for 10 minutes!

Had one of the best burgers I’ve eaten in a long time! It is the beer hall burger from Social Tap! Double smash burger, melted beer cheese, smoked bacon, salt city blonde beer-braised onions, bavarian mustard sauce, on a toasted pretzel bun. The company was pretty great too!

Piper truly is my sould dog.

Stopped by Trader Joe’s while out grocery shopping & decided to treat myself to their seasonal apple cider donuts! Big fan.

My school had our annual fall lake day on Friday & it was the best day!!! Piper & I always work the canoe & kayak station. My parents are in the area so I convinced my dad to come help grill burgers for our lunch.

outfits of the week...

I’ve started to consistently share my OOTD (outfit of the day) just for fun! I’m typically able to link most pieces, but I also just share it to hopefully give a bit of inspiration & show you that you can recreate my outfits by just using pieces from your own closet.

Recently got these samba jane sneakers from Adidas & I am truly obsessed! I’ve worn them almost every day since I got them & I’ve gotten so many compliments! I’m already eyeing the red pair & the leopard pair as well.


in case you missed it...

September’s top 10 most loved by all of you is linked here! I’ve rounded up the finds you loved most throughout the month in one place. Take a peek to see if your favorites made the list — or find something you missed!

As you may have seen, I started a new weekly post where I share my Weekly Sale Finds! I’ve been sharing them daily on my Instagram stories & I figured I could compile all of them from the week into one post so that y’all can see them, too! You can click here to read that post.

If you follow me on Instagram or LTK, then you’ve probably noticed that I have really stepped up my game when it comes to collages of sales, outfit inspos & new items. We’ll be compiling all of the collages into one post each week so that they’re all in one place & to give those who don’t use social media a place to find them! Check out the post by clicking here!

Next up is my Friday fashion favs post!! Click here to read that one. It’s a goodie if I do say so myself. ;)
