trend spotting : socks

hey there! 

winter time is a time of coziness, and when it comes to dressing cute you still want to be cozy while staying on trend.

lately i have been seeing a lot of over the knee socks worn with boots, and i'm slightly in love! socks are a super easy accessory, and can surprisingly add a lot to an outfit. 

here's an example of a cute/cozy over the knee sock outfit :

I've always loved socks peeking out of boots, but i've always been a little afraid of wearing over the knee socks! seeing these super cute pictures on pinterest, though, have definitely changed my opinion on over the knee socks! 

 i think they look fantastic both pulled all the way up or scrunched down where they are right at your knee. 

either way, socks are the best! here are some of my favorites lately :

Where are your favorite socks from?

fall swap goodies!

i had had my eye out for a while, looking for a swap. i couldn't find one anywhere, but was sooo desperate to do one! i love receiving gifts, but buying gifts for other people is much more fun for me! when i found neely's fall swap, i didn't hesitate to sign up! i was lucky enough to be partnered up with amber from my three bittles! it turns out that we have a lot in common, so shopping for her was pretty easy! i guess shopping for me was pretty easy too, because i love absolutely everything she picked out for me!! 

with out further ordieu, here's what amber was sweet enough to get me! 

the overview! 

i thought it was pretty funny that she sent it in a pampers box! 

from top left clockwise

1. some school supplies! i had been needing some new locker magnets, so these are perfect! the pens are super super cute, and i love all of the notepads/calendars! 

2. the candle is apple cinnamon flavor, and it smells so good. i can't wait to burn this in my room! 

3. a cute little mug! she put little notes on almost everything! this one says "cuz sometimes you just need a good cup of coffee", which is 100% true! 

4. a cute little own statue! i love owls, and it looks great on my bookshelf in my room! this note says "cuz owls are just cute"

1. body relaxants! i definitely have been needing this recently, and i can't wait to try this out in the very near future! 

2. the cutest plaque ever that says "laughter is the best medicine". i hung this on my closet door! 

3. fuzzy socks. these are blue and white stripes, so they are perfect;) also they are super soft and comfy, and i love wearing these around the house when it's cold outside! 

4. a bag tag that says peace out! isn't it cute?? "cuz sometimes you just need to tell the world peace out and enjoy some you time"-- so true

(sorry these pictures are so dark) 

1. headbands -- these are the material of the hair ties that don't crimp your hair! these actually stay on my head, and i can't wait to wear them to school!

2. CANDY! as soon as i opened the box of candies, my mom came into my room and stole the peanut m&m's. and i might almost be done with all of the candy. 

3. nail polish! i have been needing a red nail polish for the longest time, and absolutely love the color she picked out! i also love love love grey nail polish, and i don't have a dark grey so i'm so happy to add these two polishes to my collection!! 

if you have never done a swap before, you totally should! even if you only do it one time! it should be on everyones blogger bucket lists;) 

i just want to say thank you again to amber, i absolutely LOVE everything! 

thanks for reading!
