The most wonderful time of the year♥

 Hey there! ♥
So as we all know, the holiday season is upon us, and Christmas is right around the corner!
For me, Christmas means...
1) Giving AND receiving! ;)
2) FLUFFY EVERYTHING
3) Shopping like there's no tomorrow!
4) Beautiful Christmas decorations and music!
5) All the sweet treats that come with the season, including CHAI LATTES! ♥

I'm so obsessed with Chai, I swear it's unhealthy...

So I definitely wanted to share my recipe for homemade Chai with you! In my opinion, it's better than anything you can buy at a store or Starbucks! The recipe is here, and it. Is. AH-MAZING. My secret? Add a little bit of Hazelnut coffee creamer to sweeten it to perfection! I'd also advise using whole milk instead of skim milk, and sugar instead of artificial sweetener, it's not low-calorie but it's worth the indulgence! I sprinkle it with some extra cinnamon too, and let me tell you it's heaven in a mug :D

On to a few other random holiday-inspired pictures! :)

I'm feeling kind of inspired to do a post about my top beauty picks for winter, so hopefully I'll get that up very very soon! Thank you so much for reading and happy holidays! :)

Lots of ♥, Lex.

Hey there :)
So lately I've felt so thankful and fortunate for everything in my life...Family, friends, and all the time we have to spend together..I just feel like I have so much to be thankful for! I guess Thanksgiving is coming early this year! :)
Speaking of being thankful, since today is Veteran's Day, I'd like to thank all of those who have served in the military as well as those still serving today. Thank you isn't enough to say how much I appreciate all you do for me and for our country ♥
In other news, today was 11/11/11! My wonderful English teacher stopped class at 11:11 today so that everyone could make a wish! No one talked the whole minute, it was very intense, haha!
I hope to post some more pictures from my life, but I've been to busy soaking it all in to get all of the picture's I'd like to!
Expect a new post from me soon!

Feelin' Blue!

It's Fall and this season it's all about DENIM! :)

I'm personally LOVING the denim craze! Everything about it...The subdued hues, the fun styles, everything! 

I want to know what you think...What's your favorite trend right now?

So of course, this blog is mostly about PICTURES! I have more pictures of some cute pink things, but I figured I'd keep it monochromatic for this post :)

My first "Bag Check" inspired by Nylon magazine! :)

Also, I went to the Carolina Panther's last game with Kendall, who has an AMAZING blog you can read here! It was a BLAST, and I'll be sure to post those pictures ASAP! :) I've taken a new interest in football, which might seem strange coming form me, like, the most girly-girl on the planet, but it's fun and a cool social event where I can see everyone and just chill and have a great time!

Speaking of football, I've started watching my school's team a lot...By the way, I started high school recently, and I love EVERYTHING about it--So much more freedom! It's awesome :)

Finally, I'd like to comment on Kendall's latest post, which I think is GENIUS and totally true--She was talking about what an effect music can have on how you feel, and she's TOTALLY RIGHT!!! You all should read it--Just click the link above! :)

That's about it for now, you can expect to hear from me soon!

The Flood of Photos!

Here it is--The crazy amount of pictures that have been building up for a long time! Now, I have yet to get the perfect shot of my redecorated room, however I will as soon as possible, and maybe I can dedicate a whole post to it?! :)

Ahhh...Where to start? How about some nature pictures? :)

Really proud of this picture :)

Probably on of my favorite pictures that I've EVER taken!



Vulture! I saw TONS of these in a tree while I was out taking all these nature shots!


 And now for photos of a magnificent recipe I made that was created by Jamie Oliver! He has a show called "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution"! If you've never seen it, it's amazing--He goes around the world trying to return good, healthy home coking back to families everywhere. It will change the way you view what you eat! His cookbook is also AWESOME! This is the first recipe I've tried! I did it all myself, so that goes to show how simple it was, and it was absolutley amazing! Can't wait to try another one!

A few pictures I took after school...

 

And now for my Europe-Inspired outfit! I've been playing this new game on my iPod called "Fashion Story"! It's SO addictive, and I get inspiration for my outfits!



This says "Men | | Women" in French! We use it on our downstair bathroom...
My Nana (Grandmother on my mom's side) got it from Europe!



Michael Kors top, Vintage heart necklace, (Tutu--Don't remember the brand...), Mom's belt :), beret from Target, Simply Vera Vera Wand Booties <3



A couple pictures of a school outfit...I am in love with this whole thing! The shirt, the earrings...And of course them both paired with the sunglasses! It just makes me happpy <3

Shirt by Roxy, Sunglasses from Claire's, Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss in Hot Pink, feather earrings from Icing

 Saved one of the best for last! I love this picture SO much! It's so me! :)


These are a few of my favorite things... :)



So much to do, so little time!

I'm sorry I have neglected my readers for so long! Everything's been busy, busy, busy with starting High School last week! I DID redecorate my room, but it's an absolute mess right now, cluttered with school supplies and stuff! However, through all the hectic-ness (Is that even a word??) I've been taking pictures of everthing I possibly can, so I'm working on some interesting posts for you all coming up soon! Thanks for reading!

Hello Again!

Wow, has life been hectic lately! Between trying to work out last-minute get-togethers with friends who are all going off to different schools, shopping for new clothes, bookbag, supplies, etc., and trying to make the most of the summer, things have been absolutley wild!
First off, here's a collage inspired by today's adventures at the lake! :)

Collage generated with Smilebox

Next, some snapshots from my life lately to sum it all up! :)



Yes, our thermometer DOES say 110.1 degrees!



Yummy cupcake with 2 ingredients!

1.) Devil's Food Cake Mix

2.) Canned Pumpkin

It was DELICIOUS!

(I made my own frosting with Greek Yogurt, Chocolate Chips, and Sugar.)

Well, that's it for now! I'll post again when I can!
