And all at once, summer collapsed into fall.

     Hello Lovelies!
     Fall is finally here! I have to say, I am thrilled the days of colder weather and falling leaves are approaching. Don't get me wrong, I love the freedom and sunshine of summer, but there is just something special about the crisp air of autumn. 
     I love the stark contrast of the bright and airy look of summer to the rich appearance of fall. It's as if the world is covered in a sepia filter. Like a living and moving vintage photo. 
     It's easy to say autumn is my favorite season. There are so many things to look forward to (i.e. sweater weather!). So I'm going to share with you some things I enjoy each fall! 

 Sweaters

Starbucks Coffee

Pie

Hats

Reading by the fire

Football

Apple picking

Boots


Hiking through the woods

Cozy socks

     xoxo,

Is John Lennon Back?

     Hello, Lovelies!
     Have you heard the psychedelic style of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album? Have you heard the gritty yet pure sounds of rock and roll? Have to heard the raw and unique voice of John Lennon? If you add all these iconic sounds together you get something magical. Tame Impala. 
     Literally, the lead singer,  Kevin Parker, is reincarnated John Lennon. If I didn't know better I would think it was John singing on the track. This band is something special, and I think they could be my new obsession.
     There isn't much left to write...so listen! Below are two of my favorite tracks. Let me know what you think of my new discovery! 


Feels Like We Only Go Backwards

Fashion Fridays: Black + Black

Hello, Lovelies!
Hope you are all doing well. For this Friday's post, I thought I'd do one of my favorite looks I've been seeing on pinterest lately: all black. I really like this look because I think its very stylish and put-together. It can be casual or dressy and it still gives off a professional feel. Here are some of my favorite looks! 





All my love,

How to Survive a Bad Day - Stress

Hello, Lovelies!

     We all have bad days, right? Well, these days can be caused by many different things such as: annoying family members and friends, boys, low self esteem, hormones, work, or school. Honestly the list could go on and on. Today though, I'm going to share with you my way to cope with bad days caused by stress. I have had numerous days ruined by stress lately... the most recent you may ask? Yesterday. Now I'm not saying I'm a professional (trust me, I'm definitely not), and I'm not saying these techniques are going to help everyone. I'm simply giving you my tips on how to survive an exhaustingly stressful day. 


#1
Make a list of all the things that are stressing you and come up with a plan to deal with them. Because everyday is filled with crap. 

(My Preference: The Crap List from Urban Outfitters)

#2 
Make yourself your favorite dessert, and do not, I repeat, do not share with anyone. Because you deserve to eat your feelings. 

(My Preference: Chocolate Chip Cookies. Ingredients can be found at your local super market... or if your prepared for these situations like me, in your kitchen.) 

#3
Take a hot shower with things that smell good. Because somehow showers magically wash away the bad things. Like germs. Or stress.
(My Preference: Twilight Woods Shower Gel from Bath & Body Works) 

#4
Listen to quiet, relaxing music. Because music is therapeutic, right?

(My Preference: Ray Lamontagne. His music is very soothing and he has a great beard.)

#5
Do something to get your mind off of the stress. Because you deserve to forget about your crappy day, even if it is just for a moment. 

(My Preference: Watching my favorite YouTubers. Not only are they freaking adorable, they are also hilarious. Thanks to them I can forget about my day, and get caught up in their British world.) 

Affectionately, 
Morgan

Blast From the Past: The Best 80's Movies

Hello, Lovelies!
I've already posted once about my disdain, per say, for 80's movies. However, I thought they deserved another post and I'm pretty sure this won't be their last. This post, on the other hand, will be about my loving praise for them. These are my absolutely favorite movies of all time and I honestly just love them. They're funny, realistic, and no one turns out to be a popstar in the end like every teenager-based movie made today. I mean, come on, can we at least be a little more original? John Hughes provided us with some fantastic inspiration, people, use it! So, here we go!
The Breakfast Club
Favorite Line: "Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe?"


Pretty in Pink
Favorite Line: "I just wanna let them know they didn't break me."


Dirty Dancing
Favorite Line: "Nobody puts Baby in a corner."


Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Favorite Line: "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."


Sixteen Candles
Favorite Line: "Can I borrow your underpants for ten minutes?"

All my love,
Hailey
