My Book Picks: Over 4th of July

Since summer school ended I finally have time to breath I thought I would pick up a few books & read them. I can't even tell you the last time I read for pleasure!! Tomorrows the 4th of July  I'll be out on the lake with the family. I can't wait to just catch done rays while reading a book!


My book choices are

1. Mating Rituals of the North American Wasp by: Lauren Lipton


2. Heaven is for Real by: Todd Burpo.

I've heard excellent things about both of these books & can't wait to begin them both!


& how fun is my Bookmark? It was given to me for Christmas from my friend Jason. He said he saw it & immediately thought of me. I love it and finally have an excuse to use it! :)


Have any of you read these? What books are you currently reading? Or when was the last time you read for pure enjoyment? It's been about over a year for me! Long time! College just takes over your life. I'm glad it's finally summer vacation. Hope you guys have a safe and happy Fourth of July.

Nail Designs I'm LUSTING Over

I saw these on Pinterest and immediately fell head over heels on these two nail looks. The first one is just so summery and yet classy. I showed it to my mom and she didn't like it, but I absolutely love it. It's on my to-do- nail list for sure. The second one is nude which is a huge trend right now, but mixed with one sparkle nail. I think it's gorgeous and will surly match whatever your wearing. It's also classy but fun at the same time. This nail look is also on my nail-to do list. I just wanted to share these two beautiful pictures that I pinned on my Pinterest. I'm listed as Candace Nicole if your curious :) I think I have the cutest boards ever.. but i'm sure every girl on Pinterest feels the same way about theirs too!

Hope everyones having a great day & enjoying the sunshine!

Perfect: Rainy Day Attire for College Girls

Now I know it's not Fall ladies.. But I begin my fall shopping in the summer. I have vacations and many other events planned, and don't like to feel rushed before August doing my back to school shopping. Where I go to college (Keeping private due to privacy) it rains a lot during the winter and it can be extremely cold. I thought I would do a quick post of what I would wear on a typical rainy day to classes.


1. Pearls- Always rocking my pearls. They are a classic and will never go out of style.


2. Warm Fleece- A must in my book. I have about 1000 fleeces. They are so easy to just throw on and super comfortable.


3.Black Skinny Jeans. Love skinny jeans because they are so easy to tuck your boots into. I also think they are very flattering too.


4. Bright Bold Scarf- A must have in my book. I love accessorizing with scarves. My collection of them has grown so much in the past few years.


5. Black Handbag- I have so many bags, but sometimes I just want to carry a basic black bag. It just makes your outfit look so much  more put together.


6. Colorful Rain Boots- I have several pairs of rain boots and love them. On most college campuses you will see them everywhere on girls. They come in so many different patterns and designs. A must have for college girls. I have a slight rain boot addiction.


What is your favorite thing to wear on a rainy day? Do any of you own a pair of rain boots? I actually just looked outside and it appears it just may rain today. I may have to go put on some rainy day attire now. Hope you are having a fabulous day.

Girly:Pink Patio Furniture

Summer time is officially HERE and let me tell you... It's HOT! Today it was 110 degrees. I have been going without makeup and honestly just keeping cool by floating in the pool. My summer classes are over! YAY! So i'm officially enjoying my summer till August 28th when the fall semester starts. 

I wanted to do a quick post about my new patio furniture that I am just in LOVE with. After a long day sometimes I just want to relax on my balcony with a glass of my favorite wine. Having such cute patio furniture makes it that more enjoyable. I thought I would snap a few shots of my college balcony. Pink just makes everything better in my opinion. It's a fun girly space that I have been enjoying every night. Notice the matching pink lights? Love them so much! 

Well now that it's summer and I have more free time.. I'm planning on posting everyday! So get ready :)

Hope everyone is staying cool where ever you are.

Laundry Day

Hey ladies! Sorry I've been MIA from blog land. I've been taking summer classes & I'm happy to say that today is my last day!! Whoo hoo! However, I've been so busy studying that I've had 0 time to do laundry.


But when I noticed how colorful my laundry was I just had to snap a picture. Makes it a little more enjoyable.


Being away at college you learn independence & are responsible for doing your own laundry. I don't mind sorting my clothes & throwing them in into the machine. It's the taking them out and folding them part I despise! But I'm sure I'm not alone.


I guess I can't complain too much.my college apartment comes with a washer & dryer in our unit. I have friends who live in other off campus housing & they have to go to the laundry mat! Yikes!


How often do you do your laundry? I have a friend who does laundry once every three months. I could never go that long.


Random post... But I'm not an ordinary girl :)


Have a great day!
