Timing

What I'm wearing: Victoria's Secret PINK tee, Forever 21 maxi skirt, Banana Republic outlet sandals, H&M necklace, Vintage cuff bracelet

I've been looking for a maxi skirt since early spring, and I finally found one...right when summer is about to end. Rather unfortunate timing, but I'm determined to get some good use out of it before it gets too chilly out. And did I mention it was only $13?! Yes, I give you permission to stop whatever you're doing right now and run to your nearest Forever 21 and snag one for yourself. Come on, you know you want to! I wore this outfit on Tuesday night for dinner with an old friend who I hadn't seen since before I left for New York. I was so happy I got to see her before I left again for Columbus. As you're reading this, I'm back in Columbus, sitting here in gym clothes looking very unglamorous, but sometimes that's necessary when you've had a whole day of moving boxes and organizing. I'm looking forward to sharing pictures with you of the new place all decorated up with my DIYs once my internet is installed (hopefully by Monday). Until then, have a good weekend!

September

It's September! On the one hand, I can't believe how fast this summer flew by, but on the other, I am beyond excited for all the great things that are coming up this month. Here's my little timeline for the awesome September ahead:

September 7th: Zara's online shop hits the USA! Being from the Midwest, where the nearest Zara is in Chicago about 5 hours away, this is VERY exciting!

September 8th: Fashion week begins! Although I am no longer in NYC, I will definitely be keeping up with the online coverage from home! The ones I'm most excited for? J.Crew (of course), Rebecca Minkoff, DVF, and Michael Kors.

September 13th: Missoni for Target! I'm a sucker for Target designer collaborations, and this one is no different. I've got my eye on some silk scarves, printed flats, and amazing housewares!

September 14th: America's Next Top Model: All Stars! I actually haven't watched the show in a few seasons, but I'm excited to see some old favorites come back. Personally, I'm rooting for Shannon from season 1 and Brittany from season 4... I've got a bit of a bet going with one of my co-workers from this summer. Let the games begin!

September 15th: I move into my new apartment in Columbus! This means lots of
back-to-school shopping in my immediate future and lots of reunions with friends.
Although I'm sad that this is my last time getting to do "back to school" things,
I'm really looking forward to the school year ahead.

September 20th: The new season of Glee begins! I am a HUGE Gleek, so this makes me very, very happy! And how cute does the cast look in this ad for Fashion's Night Out?!

What are you excited for this month?
