Instagram Roundup

I didn't do an Instagram Roundup last week so this week is gonna be a little bit of catch up.

These plaid pants are a must have for fall!  They are from Discover Peach and are so perfect for adding a little bit of chic touch to your fall wardrobe.

Getting my iced coffee fix in before it gets cold and I swap over to hot for my go to.  If you missed it check out my post on how to get free Starbucks!

A little motivation never hurt anyone.  This card came in a package from Signet Sealed Delivered on etsy.

Dresses are better with a little twirl.  This one from Madison and Mallory is a must have!  It is so comfy and I love the versatility of it!

This picture was taken on a cool wall in New Orleans, be on the lookout for my trip recap coming soon!

Just a casual picture of me in my pajamas on a beautiful antique bed...

You think they would deliver these beignets to our house??

I love a graphic tee, you can dress it up or down and I love the slight edge it adds to an outfit.  This one from aliexpress I paired with a thrifted blazer and my favorite blush booties.

Another Madison and Mallory favorite!  This fur vest and polka dot dress are so perfect with over the knee boots for fall!

Adding a touch to an outfit with accessories is my favorite.  This bracelet from the Jewelry Junkie is perfect for adding a little western edge.

This top from State Legacy Revival Co is one of my favorites.  Even though I don't live in NC right now it will always be home.  It was especially on my mind this past week with hurricane Florence and all the damage and destruction left in the path.  Prayers for all those affected and for the rebuild that will be going on.  I'm thankful my family and friends were mostly unaffected.

Rue21 Clearance Haul

I hardly ever go to Rue21 but occasionally they have pretty good sales.  I picked up a few things on clearance on my last visit and scored some good finds:  

This balloon sleeve sweater was $3 and is a Free People dupe.

I am a sucker for floral embroidery and this over sized sweater was $3!!

The Free People dupe in white as well, this was $3.

I am the cardigan queen and this hooded duster is perfect for fall, for $3 you can't beat it.

I'm a big fan of kimonos and this floral velvet one was $5.  I'm obsessed with the details and the texture it adds to an outfit.

Do you shop at Rue21?  What deals have you found lately?

Easy Iced Coffee

Iced coffee is one of my guilty pleasures.  I don't know about you but it isn't in my budget to buy them regularly.  I figured out how to make a pretty good homemade version.

The night before I prepare coffee with sugar.  I use the Keurig but you could also brew a pot and make a larger supply.

After it has cooled I put it in a jar, cover and place in the fridge to cool overnight.

In the morning I get a new jar and fill it with ice cubes.  I like to freeze leftover coffee and use in my iced coffee so it doesn't get watered down.  Fill up the jar with your cold coffee.

You can drink it like it is but I prefer to add a little creamer.  This Toasted Marshmallow Mocha is a new favorite.

You can use almond milk, coconut milk, or whatever creamer you want to switch up the flavor.  You could also add in flavored syrups for an extra coffee house flavor.

Thrift Store Haul and Try On

Get ready for a GIANT thrift store haul!  I stopped in my local store and they were having some of the tags for $1, when they do that I stock up!  I got three bags of clothes and I thought I would try something new and do a try on haul for you guys:

This top is from Chico's and I thought it would be really nice for weekend lounging.

This dress is vintage Oriel and I am in love with it!  I am also thinking of styling it open as a duster.

This polka dot top is Coldwater Creek and I'm feeling the dots.

Lucky Brand for $1??  Can't beat it!

Super comfy sweatshirts are my favorite, this cowl neck one is so cozy!

Leopard is my obsession right now, this top from Talbots is so comfy and I cannot wait to style it.

Another Lucky Brand top for $1, crazy deals.

This Banana Republic top is really pretty and I love the fit. 

I am really feeling the polka dots for fall this year.  This Talbots top is 100% silk and I'm in love with it!

This ruffle tank from American Eagle is perfect for summer but I am also planning on layering it with cardigans and jackets for fall.

Faux fur and a cozy cardigan, what more could you ask for??  This one is Coldwater Creek and is perfect for fall and winter.

I have already been wearing this plaid top and I love it.  It is by the brand Jachs Girlfriend and it is so soft.  I also picked up the tank underneath, it is Forever21 and I am loving the peplum hem.

This linen jacket is perfect for spring, it is lightweight and so chic.  The brand is Sigrid Olsen.

Another plaid top, you can never have enough for fall.  This is from Denim & Supply by Ralph Lauren.  

The fit is great and I am loving these colors.

I can't believe the deals I got on these items!  So many good finds for $1 each!!

Five Things Friday

It has been while since I have done a Friday favorites and I missed talking about things I have been loving.  

Dunkin Donuts Maple Pecan Iced Coffee: I have a love hate relationship with Dunkin Donuts coffee.  I have only had a few that I really love, most of the time they are way too sweet.  I had a coupon and decided to give the new fall flavor a try.  Guys I am obsessed!  It was delicious!!  I am a big fan of Starbuck's Toffee Nut and this is really similar.  I will for sure be getting quite a few before they disappear for the season.  Have you tried this one?  What's your favorite Dunkin drink?

Cinnamon Quick Bread Mix: I found a box of this on clearance and thought I would give it a try.  We made it for breakfast over the weekend and y'all this stuff is delicious!!  I went back and bought all they had, such an easy treat!

Dote App: I have heard all about the Dote App on youtube and just decided to give it a try.  Run down, Dote is like a mall on an app.  You can add things from all kinds of different stores (forever 21, Revolve, Sephora, DSW and then checkout all together.  You only have to enter your credit card info once...it's almost too easy.  Use my code: BMEOL for $5 off!

Peplum Denim Jacket: If you follow me on instagram (or in real life) you know I love this jacket.  A denim jacket is such a classic choice but add the peplum ruffle hem and it gives it a feminine update.  I have been pairing it with everything. 

Leopard Espadrille Mules: These shoes have been on my wishlist since they came out.  I almost bought them several times and something held me back.  Last week I went thrift store shopping and found them brand new in my size for $5!!  Guys that's why I love thrifting!!  I have been wearing them on repeat lately and honestly they are worth the $25, they are super comfortable and I love how they look.  Don't be afraid of the animal print, it goes with everything.

How to Get Free Starbucks

If you follow my instagram you know I am a coffeeholic.  What I don't like is paying for it (who does??).  I have figured out a few ways to get free drinks from Starbucks and thought it was my civic duty to share my tips with you:  

Use the App!

If you haven't already download the Starbucks app and use it!  Purchase a $5 giftcard and load it on your account.  This gives you free Birthday Drink (more on that later) and the ability to earn stars.  You earn stars with every purchase and they add up to free drinks.  Starbucks also with have challenges to earn more stars with purchases, keep up with emails!

Target Cartwheel

If your Target has a Starbucks cafe check the cartwheel app weekly, every once in a while they will have a percent off of an item in Starbucks.  I have seen them offer 50% off bakery items.

Gift Cards from Raise

If you haven't heard of Raise yet you are missing out!  Raise is a website that sells discounted gift cards.  You can sign up to be alerted when Starbucks cards are added and what percent they are discounted by.

Birthday Drink

Every year on your birthday Starbucks will add a free drink to your account that is active for 4 days.  If you purchase in store make sure to mention that you have a free Birthday drink or they won't ring it up.  You can also order through the app and add it there.  Make sure you use it since it doesn't last long!

Buy drinks wisely

I mentioned that Starbucks offers challenges to earn stars faster.  Make sure you are signed up for email notifications for you know when these are going on.  I get some every week, most of them are related to buying a certain products or products, or even going a certain amount of days to earn more stars.  There is also a day each month where members earn double stars, if you are purchasing drinks go on that day.

Let me know if you have any tips and tricks!

Instagram Roundup

Another week another Instagram Roundup.  This past week was a little crazy, big changes happening at work and this weekend Kyle and I are planning something fun for the weekend.  Make sure you are following on my instagram to see our adventures.

September rolls in and I'm so ready for it to actually be cold enough to wear sweaters!  I'm feeling all the fall feels.  This chenille striped one is so cozy and perfect for fall.

I'm telling you I'm feeling fall, layers, textures, give me all of it!  This velvet floral kimono was a Rue21 clearance find and the necklace is from Tacos and Champagne on etsy.

Shop the post:

Y'all these shoes!!!  I can't believe I waited so long to get them...but since I found them on a deal I guess it's ok.  If you have been on the fence about them go, you won't regret it!!  They do run about a half size small just FYI.

Shop the post:

Missing the county fair back home is always hard, we went to the fair in town here to get a little taste.  Check out my post here to see how it went...there just might be a camel involved.

This maxi dress is my new favorite.  It is crazy soft and comfortable, oh and it has a built in bra so that right there makes it awesome.  Check it out here.

This key ring is still one of my favorites...as well as this peach tea.  If you haven't tried it yet and you like peach I definitely recommend it.
