Some Of My Favorite Things: Winter

Every few months I try & jot it down and share with y'all, what I have seen & others that I have already bought! These are a few of my favorite things for sure!

Also can you believe, Thanks giving is tomorrow! Crazy how time flies! It just seems like the year just started and now it is moments from starting a new year!

Anyway, here are the favorites I have-

 This is the prettiest nail polish, and I can't wait to wear it! I'll be  wearing it next week as a matter of fact! You can find it here.

Yep, My all time favorite sweatshirt! It's adorable! I can't wait to purchase this sweatshirt. It's super long & it'll be super cute with skinny jeans or leggings and boots! Uber cute & cozy! You can find them here.

These are my most favorite boots ever! I found these by accident and I adore them! They're comfy, cute & just what I wanted! I've been thinking about buying another pair even! You can find them here.

I've used this stuff once before and I liked it...ALOT! It's a lot gentler on my nails than gel or shellac from a salon but it stays on just as long as the shellac! It's easy to use, but there are a lot of steps to it. But totally worth it! you can find it here. (Instructions: DIY gel nails. (1) 2 coats of Gelous Advanced Nail Gel Coat. Wait 2 minutes between each coat (2) 1 coat of nail color. Wait 4 minutes. (3) 1 coat of Gelous. Wait 2 minutes. (4) 1 coat of nail color. 4 minutes (5) Apply a top coat.)

I saw this on instagram and I knew I had to get one at some point! They are soooo cute! I already like deer taxidermy and this is fake, so even better! No Bambi's were hurt in the making of these! You can find it here.

Just bought this Lip butter today, I have not used it as of yet, but I am anticipating to use it! It appeared to be matte when I smeared it on my hand, we'll see! You can find here.

I saw a Rebecca Minkoff bag like this on Fleur De Force's Vlog And I liked it so much, I have been dreaming about it since! and will be getting it shortly.You can find it here.

Apps: I am loving Terri Savelle Foy's Dreams & Goals. It's such an awesome app, you should get it. it's only $1.99 on iTunes.

Music: Go get Dara MacClean Petty's New album Wanted. You will not regret it! Also on iTunes. My favorite Songs at the moment are: Our only hope, Set my people free, Made, I am blessed, Good Enough. But truly, all of the songs are my favorite! So you really need this in your life! I know this girl personally and I know her heart, She's amazing!

Not until December 27th, will I write on the schedule again! I have a treat for you coming Sunday, December 1st!!! Get Ready! You'll like it, I promise!

Love you all and Happy Thanksgiving! -Ryn

Style find: ankle boots

Today was a rather rainy day... Which I love! I could so live in London or Seattle, just for that reason. 

But I went out today and went to one of my favorite dives on Magnolia ave, which is Paul's donuts, subs & gyros! Yum! The gyros are so good! And well the donuts are tasty too! So if you love near Fort Worth or you're traveling to the Dallas Fort Worth area, be sure to check them out! But they're closed on Sundays and are only open til 3:00pm. 

-I got the gyro plate-

Then we (mom & I) went to trader joe's, picked up a few things we needed. And I stopped at DSW warehouse, because well, they had a huge sign say: CLEARANCE. And I went in while my mom got a tea down the way at Starbucks... I'm glad I went in, because I've been on the search for genuine leather or suede ankle boots madewell-esque for a while. Well I found them and they're comfortable, cute, black boots!!! And the great thing is, they were under $40!! Praise Him! 

And now, I'm going to rest for a bit, then draft a pattern, work and exercise too, before the night is over! 

So awesome! So my Monday has been a great one! Tell me how yours was! 👇👇👇

Style Fyle: autumn is coming...

As I've mentioned before, I LOVE Autumn! I love the smell, the cooler weather, the leaves changing, the warm drinks you order from a coffee shop, the cozy feelings, how the stores get ready for the fall fashions, the Bonfires & hayrides, the thanksgiving celebrations,... EVERYTHING! I adore it all! 

One of my most favorite things in autumn are the outfits and pieces you can wear & come up with! It's soo much better than summer, not to knock summer, I just like Fall better! 😉 It's a magical time of year. 

I love fall colors; the berry, teal, emerald, rust, mustard, cream, camel... Etc. but you don't have to wear the colors of fall to celebrate fall! Neons are still IN, among other colors too! Am just excited to wear some of my deeper colored nail polishes! Woohoo!

Here are a few pics I gathered from my www.Pinterest.com boards, I hope you find inspiration in all of these looks! : ) 

Casual:

These looks are for the more casual lifestyle. The one who shops, works in a less conservative atmosphere, the artistic & such! 

The poncho and the Oxford underneath andwith the rain boots, so so cute!

With the hat and the scarf and the stripes...oh my! Perfection!

I bought a felted hat like this, this past spring and I'm so excited to wear it finally! 

Also the collared shirt underneath the oversized shirt looks so great!

I also bought an oversized cashmere sweater this past spring, I will definitely be trying something like this with it!

The whole patches thing on the jeans to the chambray & sweater. Gorgeous.

I'll be wearing my chambray shirts all season long!

I'm all about the flares right now! And with that fur coat, amazing!

I'm liking the whole red pants look! Especially with a big comfy sweater. This look looks ultra chic!

Don't forget to utilize your floral & colored denim this fall too! 

What don't I like about this outfit? Pretty much nothing... 

The hi-lo hemline with the shirt underneath, genius!

That scarf and brogues look luxe with that outfit!

Leather (or faux leather) pants are such an unexpected surprise to any outfit!

With the boots and the patchwork blazer, you can't really go wrong! : )

Work:

These are some ideas for corporate working environments...

The colors just meld beautifully together.

Those pants are so cute, and that vest! The scarf brings everything together & 

makes the whole outfit pop!

I'm really liking the casualness of the zip up hoodie with the pencil skirt. Such a

nice combo! The leopard shoes are great too!

Ugh! I really like this look! The whole thing! With fur vest, the skirt( I bet it's midi length!) and top bun & sunglasses! Perfect in everyway! 

The cinched in blazer with a belt. Super cute right? 

See neon? It's such a good break from all the black going on! 

I'm really diggin' the ankle pants with the socks & platform booties, i'll have to try that!

And that jacket is super cute, right?!?

This would look like Christmas on you body if the colors were brighter, but since they are very deep & luxe, it totally works!

If you have any summer-y skirts you still want to wear, you can totally pair them with tights and a cozy sweater! It's such a fun fall look!

This is just chic & intense. With the heeled booties & coat, you can't really go wrong!

Which stores I will be frequenting this fall & winter: 

Madewell (duh!)

Old navy (it's my kind of forever 21)

Nordstrom & Nordstrom rack

H&M 

Neiman Marcus 

Gap

Free people 

Ulta

Anthropologie

And any others along the way ; )

Online:

Poshmark 

eBay 

Etsy

DIY Friday: boot storage

So this post is for the organizing at heart folks! This is for storing your boots... You know the boots you wear in autumn and winter. and with the weather we've been receiving, in the spring too!

The easiest way to store them without letting them lay limp & lifeless is to use pool noodles. Yes, you heard me correctly, pool noodles! And what better time than the beginning of pool season to stock up? ( I bought mine at Target for $3.99 ea.) and I used 1 for two pair. It's super easy & inexpensive to take car of your boots! I was just in The Container Store the other day & they had boot stands that where anywhere from $15-$25 a pair. And I just bought a pool noodle for $3.99, cut it & and used it for two pair of boots! Praise Him!

After doing this, I can actually hear my boots saying thank you and we love you Ryn, can't wait for fall! ; )

So comment below when you try this!!! I'd love to hear if you've tried it yet!

What you'll need for your boots to say thank you:
Pool noodles (depends on how many boots you have)
Knife ( I used a plastic lettuce knife, but a bread knife would work just as well)
Boots
Marker

Get your boots & noodles!

Plastic Lettuce Knife

Marker (Le pen is what I used)

You'll want to measure the noodle inside of the boot.

Make sure it goes all the way down to the heel.

Mark the noodle where it hits or an inch below the top of boot with the marker. 

Cut the noodle where you marked it.

Measure the cut noodle with rest of the noodle and mark it and cut.

There's the limp & lifeless boots.

And here are the full of life & full noodles boots I just love!

Perfect!

 

 

 

By the way, This is the best stuff to revive you r leather shoes & boots! I'm sure you can find this at walmart or target... This one is from Nordstrom Rack, It was about $4.95 I think.
