Weekly Round Up

Happy Fridayyy!

Anyone else feel like this week went by so fast? This week was super tiring though since it was my first week back at work from my vacation. I was shocked that I was tired because I didn’t do anything strenuous on my vacation! I just relaxed the whole time (except for at the TIU tour of course). But, being that relaxed can make you tired too and I’m finally feeling like my good ‘ol self again!

This weekend I am actually on the road again to visit some family and friends back home. My friend Sarah, who’s getting married in November, is having her bridal shower this Saturday so I’m super excited for that. Also, Chandler’s grandma is celebrating her 80th birthday on Sunday. PSA: She is the coolest grandma ever. I mean, she’s busier than I am! Every night she has plans with her girls and I’m just like wow, I hope I’m that cool when I’m her age.

For this week’s round up, I found some really great articles. I hope you like them!

Where’s my Bachelor Nation people at?! Refinery 29 published an article yesterday featuring the man who should have won this past season (IMO), Peter Kraus. In February, Peter will be joining other Bachelor stars at a winter resort where they will be having their own winter games. This honestly sounds hilarious and I can’t wait for the show’s debut!

Who else is SO glad that October is finally here! While the first day of fall is technically in September, it really doesn’t feel like fall to me until October hits because it’s the first month with a major holiday and tons of festive events since the 4th. Speaking of being festive, I found the cutest Halloween costume article from A Beautiful Mess that will make all of the mom and daughter duo’s smile.

Two trends that I can’t get enough of right now are lace and velvet. As soon as I saw this article from Extra Petite, I knew it was one I had to share. Jean shared a few gorgeous dresses from Bloomingdales that are perfect for the upcoming months!
