Hostages, modern family, nashville 2013 fall premiers

Wow... what a wonderful TV week! Hostages was an amazing show! From the previews, we all knew that it was going to be a thriller. But I didn't like that the previews basically told us everything that would be happening in the first episode. There were ko surprises. I think this problem will remedy itself as the weeks go on. I will keep watching this show, and i like that it MIGHT be thrilling!
Modern family had a 1 hour premiere! It was hilarious, if you happened to miss it tonight. I don't want to write spoilers, but I can tell you that it was well worth the wait all summer! The 2 episodes were VERY funny, I caught myself laughing multiple times. I was worried that this season, the show would get old. But, it didn't disappoint me!
Nashville is on now! So far, it has been great! Juillett's song is really good. Avery's song at the beginning is also amazing! I am really enjoying the flashbacks that Reyna is experiencing while she is in her comma... it is nice seeing her with Deccan like that!
I will talk about my specific thoughts on each of the shows at the end of the week, when everyone has had a chance to watch their shows!
Have a great week!

Shopping weekend

This weekend has been insane! It started out not so great. Saturday morning I got an email saying that a project I had been working on needed some major revision. I was really frustrated with the whole situation, so I did what I always do to make me feel better... I went shopping! Saturday I went to the outlet malls in gaffney, SC. Today, I hit up a J.Crew sale, a Dillard's outlet and TJ Maxx. I finally think I am ready to start that big project again! I have purchased close to 30 clothing items... which is a pretty big shopping hall! Far to big of one to post in one post. Therefore, over the next week, I will post different items from each store! It should be a lot of fun... I got so much cute stuff I can't wait to show you all! I'll also be posting my outfits of the week sometime tonight :)

From Big Brother to Survivor

It'd that time of year again, when the wind gets a little colder and the leaves start to change. What also starts to change is the TV schedule! Unfortunately, the end of summer also brings the end of my favorite reality show, Big Brother. Big Brother has been my favorite reality TV for years. While I was pretty disappointed in this year's casting choices for Big Brother, I am upset to see it ending! I do not think any one of those final 3 contestants should win, but I think it will end up being Andy. I don't like Andy, he is a snake and he got out my 2 favorite players, Elissa and Helen.
But the end of big brother brings the start of survivor!!! This year seems so great for survivor! I love the concept that they have came up with Blood vs. Water. Pittting family members against each other will be a lot of fun for the rest of us to watch. I am really excited to see Hayden from Big Brother on Survivor! I already know that he is the one I am going to be rooting for! However, I will not be cheering for his girlfriend! :)
Wednesday, survivor premiers at 8 pm, then big brother has it's finale at 9:30. My money is on Andy for big brother, and Hayden for survivor... help me in cheering them on!

Lilly sale!!!

So, after waiting 3 weeks, my summer lilly Pulitzer sale items finally arrived! To say I was excited is an understatement! I arrived at the sale late, and wasn't able to get online until Tuesday morning at 5 am... YES I did get up at 5 an to get online... I realize i have a problem! I am obsessed with lilly Pulitzer, but I can only afford it once a year on the online sale, OR if I happen to find it on a sale rack in a store. One time, I found lilly in TJ Max... a pair of navy trousers. It is still a shopping trip that sticks out in my mind as one of my top ten!
Anyway, the 2 things that I got from the sale, since everything was sold out in a size 2 by the time I got to the sale, were 2 pencil skirts. The first pencil skirt was a tweed hot pink and orange, with a little shimmer. It was a lot brighter than what I thought it was going to be... really more neon. So, I would probably wear this with a white button up and a long dark cardigan. I would also pair this with my favorite nude shoes!
The other skirt I got was a white lace skirt, with flower outlines in neon pink. I hate I can't wear this skirt yet!!! Next spring, I will probably wear this with a neutral, like black or brown, and my white stiletto's. I have not put that outfit together yet, so don't quote me yet! You will def see me make an outfit with this skirt as soon as Easter comes around!
I bought both of these skirts for about $45, when they were originally about $150. That was an amazing deal! I really hope that next time I can get some dresses. I was really concerned with buying things that I could wear to school and both of these hit right above my knees.
Hope you got great stuff in the lilly sale too... and I hope that your stuff arrived before mine!
Love always, K

Outfits of the week- Sept. 16 2013

Hey y'all! So I know I have not posted any outfits lately! It just takes so long to do one of those shoots... literally hours! In the summer, when I had all of this free time, I was able to post a lot more than I am now. BUT, I have finally figured out a way go post my outfits for you guys. I'm not wearing the outfits anymore, but I think that this is really the only feasible way to post. That said, let's start with monday!
The navy dress I am wearing is from J. Crew. Its a very summer-y dress because it has wide spaghetti straps. So, I put a flowy knit grey Cardigan over it. The cardigan I got from abercrombie and fitch a few years ago. The sweater is just so warm! For shoes, I have a pair of wedges I got from belks last year. I love these shoes! Not only are they comfy, but the pattern on them in to die for!
Tuesday, I also opted for a dress. This dress is from Ann Taylor, and I got it in the spring on sale. I love that it is 3/4 length! I also am obsessed with damask print, so it was a no brainer for me to buy it! I have on a hot pink bubble necklace from J.Crew. for shoes, I choose sky high patent leather black pumps, by Jessica Simpson. These shoes look like they would be really uncomfortable, however, they are some of the most comfortable heels I own!
Wednesday is a big day at school. The superintendent of NC schools is coming to see how we use technology in the classroom. It is a huge honor for us, and we are expected to be dressed like the president is coming. Therefore, I am wearing a black J.Crew dress. The best think about this dress is that it is beautifully cut. It has an asymmetrical neck line, with a small twist on the right side. I am pairing that with my favorite nude pumps.
Thursday I will be wearing a dress that I got from belks, by one of my favorite designers, Karen Kane. It also has am unusual neckline, with a deep v. It has a wrap dress effect, even though it is not a wrap dress! This is such a comfy dress, and i wanted to be able to wear it once more before it got to cold. The past few mornings have been so chilly, I am getting away with as many summer outfits as I can!
Friday, I am changing it up and wearing a skirt! Since it is game day, I will be sporting my red and black! This red skirt I got from tj Max, has small white dots on it that you can barely see. I put it with a plain black tee shirt. Over that, I have a flowy black sweater. For shoes, I choose to wear my zebra print heels that have red stilettos. These shoes, while not all that comfortable, will go great with this outfit!
So, there is my outfits for the whole week! I hope that you enjoyed!
Love always, K

Empties!! September...

I have a few empty bottles laying around that I want to go ahead and throw away. Instead of waiting till I have a whole bunch of trash piled up on my bathroom counter, it will just be more beneficial for me to do a post when I have 3 empty bottles at a time.

First, is my toner, by the company image, and the line of products I'm using is clear cell. This is the second part of my skin care routine. I literally cannot brag about this skin care line enough! They are so amazing! I have always had really breakout prone skin, and this was the first thing that cleared it up! I used it in high school, and now I am back in the product! I bought this from the lady that does my facial's, however, I am sure that you can find it online. This toner stings when you put it on. I really enjoy that because in my mind, that's how I know its working well. I use their whole acne line, face wash, lotion, and face masks. If you have acne, I highly recommend that you try this!!
The second product is a kinerase pen for acne. I used this directly on breakout to dry them up fast! This product works really well, however, it only lasts about a month. Every time I buy these, the little pen leaks! It just boils down to really bad packaging. Otherwise, I would buy this much more frequently! The medication in this little pen though is phenomenal. It stings when you put it on, but after 2 days, you won't even remember you had a breakout!
The third product is toothpaste. I found it on sale, so I bought 5 of them. Yes, I realize that it is slightly ridiculous. I had heard great things about this toothpaste and thought that I might as well jump in head first and buy all I could. It was a wise investment! I really think that it is helping to whiten my teeth. I also really like the taste of it... its not the normal mint that most tooth paste's have. But, its really good!
OK, so now that I am settled into school, and I am a week ahead in one of my classes, I can now blog a lot more frequently! I hope everyone is having a great week! Let me know if you try any of these products and like them.... or hate them!
Love always, K
