Well we are down to only two more home games this season for Clemson football! The fall is flying by!! This past week was homecoming and we played Syracuse. Taylor's parents have a golden retriever named Bonnie Blue who they bring up every home game weekend, but they usually keep her in the camper! Since this game was a night game and we had all day to tailgate, they brought her along to hang out for the day :) I convinced Stu to talk her with us on our walk across campus to see the homecoming floats that Student life makes every year. We really want a dog of our own, but this was definitely a test of how it will completely change out schedule!!
Miss Bonnie Blue has a mind of her own, as you'll see in the pictures below. She often decided to stop at random tailgates for attention, or just to let us know she needed water.

Update on house plans
With everything I have been doing, I have let my blog fall on the back burner, so tonight will be an update! I have been doing trunk shows around the state for A Southern Touch, babysitting, and even taken on a position at a local children's boutique in Greenville. It's been crazy getting my schedules together, and now with the holiday season, it's going to be even more nuts! And to top it all off, we are a month in with renovations to our new house... Check out what's been going on so far!
Most of the floors that we plan to pull up are now all out! The wall that we are taking down is between the kitchen and the dining room. We want to open it up to have a bigger feel, and be able to put a small island with barstools up where the wall was.
I have been living on Pinterest and buying home décor out like crazy and here are some ideas I have fallen in love with for our house!

Days 1-5 of our fixer upper
All carpet is up and most wall paper is down! My thighs are burning from being hunched over ripping up the particle boards that were under the foam which was under the carpet.

October's Favorite Things
I can not believe that we are already in the second week of October 2014!! Where has this year gone?! I have finally got together my favorite things for this month :)
Kate Spade Bangle- I picked up this fabulous bracelet at the New NordstromRak in Greenville! It's definitely in my everyday stack now!
Two Faced Eyebrow Kit- You all know that I do not wear a lot of makeup, but I have been trying a few new things like contouring and filling in my eyebrows. After using this kit once, I would recommend it to anyone! Another one of my NordstromRak finds :) I picked up this little love box for $11 vs the regular price of $39!! What a steal!
Ally B Boutique Monogrammed Boots- Last month, Stuart and I ventured to Tallahassee to watch Clemson play FSU. We drove down Friday afternoon and stayed the night in Thomasville, GA since its just a short drive out of Tallahassee. We got brunch the next morning a did a little shopping before heading to the game, and I could not believe this fantastic find! Stu bought me this perfect pair of boots for under $70 including the monograms and shipping cost!
Trader Joe's Pumpkin Bread- White girls love their Pumpkin Spice!! This time of year, I get extra excited about lighting candles around the house and making coffee because it's always pumpkin spice flavored :) I love a good pumpkin bread and Trader Joe's has the perfect box mix to make your own! I made this for the tailgate last weekend, and it got eaten up quickly!
OPI Nail Color- Going My Way or Norway? - My nails are currently pink for Breast Caner Awareness, but this gorgeous color is coming next! A light toned sandy brown creme polish that's just about light enough to be a nude but still has some color and richness to it. A nice, tame color for the season.
Biltmore Malbec- While we were on my bachelorette party, my girls and I went to a wine tasting at The Biltmore. Most Biltmore wines are sold in local grocery stores, but there are a select few that they keep special for Biltmore goers only! This Malbec wine is one of them! I am not usually a fan of red wine, but in this case, I quickly changed my mind :) I have tried other Malbec wines since then, but haven't found any this delicious!
Aztec Sweater- I am all about some Aztec print this season! I picked up a loose open Aztec sweater from TJMaxx for just $20! I love the one I pictured above though because of all the colors :)

We have a list of things we would like to do before we move in including, take out carpet, put down hardwood floors, take down wallpaper, paint walls, ... etc.
