Hey Y'all!! The most wonderful time of year is coming very soon and that means Santa is coming.  Making christmas cookies with my friends and family is one of the many traditions I look forward to every year.  You really can't beat listening to christmas music, baking and decorating cookies, and hanging out with people you love.  This year my friend invited me and a bunch of other people over and we made sugar cookies and we decorated them. This is a collab with Carly from Cinci Prep and go check out her recipe and more on Carly's Blog!

 

Making christmas cookies with friends is just so much fun! Me and a couple girls had a christmas party where we made these cookies and decorated them! Want to learn how we made these,  just keep reading!

We used this recipe to make everything easier and quicker so we can just decorate them!

After we baked them we all sat around, listened to Christmas music and just decorated our hearts out!

I hope y'all enjoyed and happy holidays!

Friday Night Lights

Hey guys!! One of my favorite parts of fall are the football games! I go to every home game my school has and I wanted to show y'all how fun they are! We sometimes have a theme like black out, indians, white out , camo, and so much more! Yesterday we had a game and I wanted to show y'all some pictures from the game!!

Last night was white out so I wore a v neck t shirt from Ralph Lauren, dark washed jeans from Hollister, and white Converse!!!

I hope y'all enjoyed and have a great day!!

Top 10 Wishlist for Fall

Hey y'all! I love pinterest and pinning random things and I was thinking of making my want board on pinterest into a blog post. That board has 200+ pins in it but I took my top 10 and I'm showing you them today! Also read till the end for a little surprise! Enjoy!

My first favorite is a fur vest! These were a trend last fall and now this fall and I need one of therein my closet!!

The next favorite is a Shark watch! I have a micheal kors watch which I wear almost everyday but for more comfy everyday outfits I thought this would be a perfect fit!!

Next are ripped jeans! These are also a new trend that is coming back and i think these are not too ripped and will still fit with my style!

Next is a bar necklace! These are so cute and are great for stacking with other necklaces!

Next is this album by Sabrina Carpenter. Lots of y'all might not know her but I discovered her on spottily and I instantly fell in love with her music!

Next are some nice athletic leggings like these from nike! They are really nice quality and will be perfect for comfy days!

My next favorite are some high top red converse! I know RED but they are such a statement and will look so cute with so many outfits I have planned!!

Next is a fringe purse like this one! They are so cute and to die for for the fall time and would look so cute with a sweater, jeans, and brown booties!!

The next two are both from Kendra Scott! I adore her jewelry so much and this necklace is an essential for my wardrobe.

Lastly are some Kendra Scott rings they are only $50 for two Kendra Scott rings and would look so cute stacked together!!

Now for the announcement! If you already follow me on instagram and twitter you would already know that we finally have a schedule for posting on the blog!!! We have been very inconsistent and now we are posting every saturday so stayed tuned! My co owner might post every so often so stay tuned for those posts too!

My trip out west

Hey y'all!! As most of y'all know I just returned from my trip to Glen Haven, Colorado. I go to Colorado every year with my whole family to visit my great grandmother. I love it up there even though there isn't any wifi or cell service!! I thought I'd share a few pictures from our trip! 

 I took this picture going into Estes park, which is about 15 minutes from our cabin. The Rocky Mountains looked so pretty! 

This was in Rocky Mountain National Park it was only about 48 degrees but in this photo it looks warm! 

On our way back from pikes peak we saw elk and even snow! Crazy right? Snow in the middle of July! 

This stream goes right by our cabin. It's so close at night you can hear it! It actually flooded two years ago and wiped out most of the town of Glen Haven. 

I took this on our hike up to deserted village. Since the flood, you can't make it to the village anymore because the trail was washed away. 

Behind the cabin, there is the perfect trees to hang our Eno and enjoy the scenery! 

In front of the cabin, there is a meadow with wild flowers growing. It's gorgeous! 

We went horse back riding at moraine  stables. The gorgeous view was worth being sore the next day! 

This is where we feed the chipmunks at my great grandmothers cabin! In the morning we put out feed for them and all during the day they sit on the rock and eat! 

That's all the pictures I have for today! If you find yourself near Glen Haven, visit Steve and Becky at the general store and get one of Becky's famous cinnamon rolls! 

XO, Taylor

What's in my beach/pool bag?

Hey everyone! So as all of you might know ITS SUMMER!! And summer means you can do whatever you want and because I live in Charleston, SC that means i have a beach literally in my backyard.  Me and my friends are always in the water so a beach bag is essential!

Mine is from Ooh Baby Infinity on Etsy

Its super cute and click the link to get yours!!

Now for the good stuff: what's inside!

The most important thing when you are doing water activities is a towel and mine from belk!

Another thing I love to have is a hat but i forgot the seller but you can get one similar from easy!

I kinda have a bathing suit obsession but I love this suit from Lilly Pulitzer

Everyone should have a good pair of flip flops like mine from rainbow.

YOU CANT FORGET YOUR SUNSCREEN!!

I love using my monogram shirt from Charleston Monograms as a coverup!!

Everytime I go to the beach or the pool I ALWAYS bring this box to keep water from getting on my important things!

This is what I keep in my box: my phone, body spray, a brush, kookie, my wallet, sunglasses, and some hair ties.

And that's it! This is what I keep in my beach bag and I hope you enjoy!!
