London Day 1-5!

Wow, oh, wow have these past couple of days been an emotional roller coaster!!!! London isn't what I expected at all! Some are good and some are bad. But I want to be positive here so I will talk about the good! We ventured to Oxford Circus and that really fun! I got to see TopShop and how glorious it is! I was so overwhelmed I couldn't even think of something I want to buy! I tried on a few things but nothing fit me like I wanted them to. I'll have to try again soon! London is very loud! Like the sirens are loud and go off all the time! But the people themselves aren't loud at all. Where I come from we talk pretty loud or at least I am haha! Anyway...here is what I've been up to lately!

Outfit!

Jacket : H&M

Shirt : Forever 21

Jeans : New York & Co. 

Shoes : Converse 

Sunglasses : Forever 21 

Fanny Pack : Karl Lagerfeld

Here's a classic London picture. This was literally the one thing I wanted to do while I was in London!!! Now that I've done this I can say I've finally done this! (check that off my bucket list!) I love that London still has these up and didn't modernize them them at all! I think they are so cool! If only they could teleport me to different places! 

Big Ben!! I did a project in the 6th grade about London. It was a scrapbook on my fake travels to London. This day I got to see everything I wrote about! Big Ben is well...very BIG! The architecture is very amazing! Big Ben still works as well! The history of London is great!

The London Eye! Another place I went on my fake travels to London in the 6th grade! haha! It almost doesn't look like it rotates it's that slow!! I'm afraid of heights like this so I don't think I'll be going on it! 

I believe this was the changing of the guards at 4 o'clock ON THE DOT!!!! It very cool to see! It was about 5 minutes long and no one could pass through while they were changing! The poor guys that have to be guards get tormented all day. There was one in the from and people were taking pictures with him. He looked so uncomfortable! He kept wiggling his nose! Probably because he wanted to sneeze because of all the body oder! Imagine how stinky it must be with all those people from all over the place!!! 

And lastly of course my palace...I mean Queen Elizabeth's Buckingham Palace! It was grand! Although I thought it was going to be bigger! I guess at least taller! It has so many rooms! So many guest rooms, bedrooms, everything! I believe there's about 775 according to Google...sooo...you can just imagine how wide it is! I was disappointed because there were no guards with the fuzzy hats and red coats on that day...but that's ok! Maybe next time I'll see them!

Although I've had a rough week that was very emotional I'm happy I stuck to it and didn't go home right away like I wanted to. It's very rough for me to stay right now but I may be leaving London early then expected. But I'm not making up my decision just yet! I have origination soon and I'm going to see how I am when school starts! I miss my family like crazy and I know they want me to have a great time while I'm here. I'm trying to do just that. I'm taking in everything and making the best out of a worse experience. Taylor and Cam will be here soon and maybe knowing they are close will help me. Well I'm about to go back to internet surfing! Maybe try to listen to some music and try to relax! haha! I want to thank all my friends who have texted me to make sure I'm ok! I want to thank my family so much for all their love and support and me facetiming them everyday twice a day. But it comforts me very much to see their faces and my puppy Lilly's face!! I miss and LOVE them sosoosossoososo much!!! You mean the world to me! Love you to the moon and back!!!

Lots of Love,

Fall 2014 Fashion Trends!

           Fall is rapidly approaching and you know what that means...2014 fall fashion trends! My favorite season (well one of my favorite including Spring when my birthday is!) for new trends, cozy clothes, warm colors, and crisp weather. Que the cute pug jumping in the leaves!

~pic~

          See! He's happy about fall!! You should be too!! Just because it's back to school season doesn't mean it has to be completely awful! Just think about it...Fall means new clothes, new TV shows #cuddlebuddy, and hot Starbucks drinks! 

          I'm here to report all the new fall trends and my predictions/favorite fall looks for the upcoming season! As a fashion major a lot of my friends and family ask..."Lizz, what are the new fall trends?! What should I be wearing?!" well...I'm now going to direct them to this post because sometime I hate explaining things not gonna lie. Ok, sit back and relax! Here are the newest fall trends!

~pic~

       First things first colors! What are the newest fall colors to try out! My favorite from the list on Women's Wear Daily are Sangria, Aurora Red, Cypress, Royal Blue and Aluminum! Radiant Orchid is over used by now and in my opinion it's better as a spring/summer color. The reds and forest green colors are one's to watch out for!

~pic~

        Like this forest green rain jacket from Urban Outfitters!!! I need to find a new raincoat for London and this one seems to be my pick of choice. I know I wanted a forest green or yellow (Misted Yellow) rain jacket. I looked all day and found this one on UO that I actually liked and didn't break the bank (too much! $89 and $69 on sale) I'm telling you right here, right now you will not be able to find a cute raincoat for more than $100...it sucks...This coat is perfect for fall and won't get all awkward when your wearing an oversized sweater as well! I gotta have it! 

~pic~

        CAPES....YES...Capes! I believe we are going to see a lot more capes in the upcoming season as a new fashion trend. I, probably unlike a lot of people, love capes. I have one and love wearing it! But if I had one like this one in the picture I'd be wearing it everyday during fall!

Ahhhhhh...the flare jeans! Oh how I've missed these jeans soooo much! I haven't worn flare jeans probably since the 6th grade (college junior now) and I'm so excited people have started to wear them again. I've been looking even since the 6th grade for a pair of flare jeans and couldn't find them AT ALL until now. Next time you are at the mall go and pick up a pair of flares!

Next up a vest! My favorites are the ones from J. Crew but being a poor college student I'm on the hunt for one cheaper. Keeping up with the forest green color as well, the J.Crew quilted vest is a perfect piece for fall. When it's not too cool and not too warm a vest is the perfect jacket accessory! Also the boyfriend jeans included in the J.Crew themed set I made on Polyvore are another ah-mazing trend! Have you actually worn a pair of boyfriend jeans yet? If not I suggest you do! So comfy!!!

Oh.em.gee...can we throwback to Lizzie McGuire and the jean mini skirt for two seconds. Obsessed. This trend may be coming from left field but I think some people will be making a statement in jean skirts! Also the red sweater! Oversized of course. Perfect for cool days when you just don't feel like getting all dolled up!

       I am most definitely not done with fall fashion trends for 2014! But to keep this post not looking like a novel I'm going to stop here. You'll have to follow along to read more! Check out my BlogLovin to follow (I'll follow back just let me know you followed!), follow my Twitter! YouTube channel! And my new Instagram account! Remember my Instagram account is the same name but different account! Oh! and Pinterest if your a pin-head like me! 

       Let me know in the comments below your favorite upcoming fall trends!!!! 

TTYL!

Lots of Love,

New Instagram! Same Name!

So because technology hates me and doesn't want me to be success I have turned against it and made a new instagram account. Just joking. But I did make a new instagram account because my account was acting weird. It was asking for conformations and blocking me from replying so just to make sure I made a new account. I've been thinking of making a new one only because I didn't like the mood of the pictures and felt like it was a complete mess!!! Now, of course, my wish came true and I'm starting from scratch! (which isn't always a good thing...) It's the same name but a different account! You may see that my old account is now Elizzabeth_Hope. I want to keep everything the same (too bad someone took elizzabethhope.com...they snatched it away from me! *crying emoji*)

If you wouldn't mind go and follow my new Instagram!! I may even follow you back if I see what I like! I also usually like people's photos who have liked mine so go like! I'll like back!!! I hope you follow me on my new insta adventures!!

Lots of love,
Lizzie
