<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">It might be midway through March, but the 24 degree Illinois climate has had me daydreaming and looking forward to better times -- filled with sunshine, warm weather, and new spring clothes. Each year, in anticipation of spring break, I plan my outfits weeks in advance. I list every jumpsuit, jacket, and pair of boots needed for a fashionable vacation, but I always struggle with one ensemble: my travel outfit. This prompts the question, "What is it about actresses and off-runway models that makes them look so stylish after a six-hour flight?" The answer? A trendy pair of sunglasses. This season, I'm going to sport vintage feel, 70s inspired sunnies, like these flat-brow ones from Warby Parker's newest collection (it launched on Tuesday, check it out!!) I've always had a soft spot for tortoiseshell frames, and I've been ogling this pair for a while. When I'm wearing this style, I always feel creative and dauntless, ready for anything. Warby Parker's entire Spring 17' collection is feel-good and embraces the inner wanderlust in all of us. Their collection is inspired by those in-the-moment adventures we all </span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">dream of. Right now, in Illinois, all I can do is dream, but Spring Break 2017 is finally here. California, I am ready for you and your enviable LAX moving walkway style in this urban chic look. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Looking back over the years, only a handful of people have taken photos for my blog. My best friend, my sister, my dad. I think it stems from my own self-consciousness of how particular I can be about my blog photos. Which is why friends who love photography are a gift. Because you can convince them to take outfit pictures and not feel bad about dragging them to three different locations before finding the right background. Or giving them extremely specific requests on the exact sitting-standing photo ratio needed for a balanced post. </span></div>

Either they’re too ambitious to actually complete, or I innocently forget after 2 months. So this year I’m making New Years Predictions. In my family, who will get married, get pregnant? Of my friends, who will get an amazing opportunity, who will I grow closer with, who will be much happier than in 2016? I'm ready to find out.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I’m so excited about this fall. Last fall was the best of my life: the weather was insanely perfect and lasted into mid December, I got introduced to fall fashion at Aritzia, and I submitted my application to the University of Illinois! This year, though, I’m pretty sure has topped all that. I boxed up my life and took it to Champaign, IL and became an Illini, I met amazing humans purposefully placed in my life by God, and I was offered the Operational Vice President position in my collegiate fashion club. So many things happened to me this season, good and bad. I grew <i>so </i>much. </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">That’s why, I wanted to identify my #fallfrugalfun activities for those of us on a small budget. Of course, my favorite thing to do is put on a million layers and take blog pictures with my best friends (thank you Shannon for modeling for this post), but here is a list of my other favorites: </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Whether in a nearby forest preserve or in a local downtown area, long walks are so beautiful in the fall, and they cost nothing! I love to bundle up in a turtleneck sweater and black jeans (obviously) with my big diamond mosaic scarf from Aritzia. Once there’s no possible area of skin for the cold to touch, I can focus on my company, if I go with someone else, or just spend time thinking about myself and the world. </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">During this time of the year, almost every school and local church hosts a holiday concert. Since I’m one of the few people supporting holiday music on Nov. 1st, for me, it’s arguably the best part of the season. I make a point of trying to attend as many free performances as possible. Shout out to Hinsdale Central, my alma mater, for putting on such an inspiring show last night! </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;">

<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Even if you’re drinking coffee alone, sitting at a coffee shop for hours is a great feeling. The social ambiance gives you the energy of other people around, and there’s the possibility of new connections. Different people come in and out in a hurry, but you are not subject to the clock. Sitting at a large table and working on work or reading a book in an aesthetically appealing environment is an unparalleled experience. And it only costs as much as one Pumpkin Spice Latte. </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">When I was little it was Bengston’s Pumpkin Farm, now it’s Curtis Apple Orchard. Regardless, I alway try to make it to a local farm at least once during the fall. Being surrounded by thousands of families and friends making memories is something special. You can buy apple cider donuts, pick out a perfect pumpkin, and take artsy, seasonal pictures. Most farms only cost 10-12 dollars to enter, which is perfect while saving up a holiday budget! </span><br />

Since I'm at home another four days, I've decided to reflect on what I'm most thankful for in terms of my first semester of freshman year. My mind immediately buzzes with hundreds of lovable things about college, but there are three aspects I am eager to go back for. </span><div style="text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div style="text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">1. My sisters </span></div><div style="text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I gained an infinite number of sisters this semester, in two different capacities. I became a believer this fall, and now I walk with my sisters in Christ. The people I have met through CRU, a Christian organization on the University of Illinois' campus, have shown me unconditional love and acceptance, something I miss being constantly surrounded by everyday. I also received 200+ beautiful sorority sisters through Alpha Delta Pi. Being in a sorority was not something I always wanted to do. However, joining the same Greek organization as my real sister, Katie, was the best decision I could have made. My ADPi sisters are kind, humble, ambitious, and their positive spirit is infectious. I can't wait to return to them all soon. </span></div><div style="text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div style="text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">2.

Despite this, I have found a home in the IKE. My most treasured moments of freshman year so far have happened while studying, eating, and goofing off in that wonderful building. I owe my straight As and coffee addiction to the Cafinator. Most importantly, I am excited to resume my <a href="x-apple-data-detectors://0" dir="ltr" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors-result="0" style="-webkit-text-decoration-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.258824);">2 AM</a> "study sessions". </span></div><div style="text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div style="text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">3.

We are asked "Are you guys twins?" on the daily, and we love it. Her finsta can detail all this for you alongside comical interpretations, but we have had some amazing times (from our monthly horror movie night or our renditions of the Clay Aiken anthem "Invisible").

Now my father is no Karl or Tommy, but he has a relatively good eye for fashion. It only took him ten minutes before he quickly fell in love with the store and this Bardot-style pinstripe dress. I paired his find with a polka dotted, silk neck scarf and my new favorite shoes (from Zara, surprise, surprise). Much of Zara's inventory is reminiscent of all the designers on my wish list, which is why I love these Chanel toecap lookalikes. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Despite my efforts, I haven't been able to distance myself from the brand.

The Buffaloites? I've never thought about it before. I've never had to. My family rarely travels to my mother's old stomping ground in Upstate New York. And if we do, it's usually because of some sort of solemn and unfortunate event. Not this time though! The Noonie Club finally reunited for a jovial gathering, and let me tell you, it was a long time coming. Packing a decades worth of fun into one weekend, we visited all the places famous to the Hardy family. <div><br></div><div>First came the Anchor Bar, where I ate more spicy chicken wings than I ever have in my whole life.

Another school year has come and gone, but this time things are different. For the first time in 12 years, I won't wait until 10:55 on Sunday morning to do my summer assignments. I won't wake up on the first day to see my parents faces. I won't meet my best friends at my locker and celebrate about the year ahead. For the first time in 18 years, I will pack up and move out of my parents house. I will start doing my Freshman assignments in July, just to be safe. I'll pick out new, stylish bed spreads, tapestries, and even toiletries. I will be in college.<br>
<br>
How did time go by so fast? My parents told me about my first day of Pre-K, I remember my first day of elementary, middle, and high school, and now I'll be starting my first day of college.<br>
<br>
But I'm getting ahead of myself. It's only the first day of summer, and I plan to enjoy every last morsel of time left being a kid.<br>

Well idk if they're high fashion, but everyone in the cities are sporting them. They're cool, and hold so much stuff. Fashion was a must this weekend, and I made sure to cross my hipster look with country vibes. </div>Beth Schallerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03921144462698797745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138047832604933109.post-9365439703469190392016-04-01T18:55:00.001-07:002016-04-01T18:56:47.986-07:00Boyish<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8WJGUlYoU_Z_5bHvJ3zXkjSZM5LTWSeuLLW_Lrd0bZV6vPZkXB9e0wDG5N6RmZwpcqdQDOmBhmUcevTekyprHTigzHqFF2vhzFxGrX4NciOFmX6WK87Um2t5WYEAYAHqKh9WlkjGcawFe/s640/blogger-image--1358789410.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXvqPrqcDBiPhHfOm34o0OoLBRjOHe1L5y4ndeBvhnD4R6IhyjIuZKi32gIc2CkUPxy9VryZCYm6bOxb6D0JWyAmSfWHE9EVtoAV_ig4bHoq-0Ph24oyb6tyIQOrkKqvql7BpRNdgXGJk6/s640/blogger-image-1082111564.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXvqPrqcDBiPhHfOm34o0OoLBRjOHe1L5y4ndeBvhnD4R6IhyjIuZKi32gIc2CkUPxy9VryZCYm6bOxb6D0JWyAmSfWHE9EVtoAV_ig4bHoq-0Ph24oyb6tyIQOrkKqvql7BpRNdgXGJk6/s640/blogger-image-1082111564.jpg"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaUsGDAp0cugagflmDfJmManWXc7N1WsooYYfjx70a5UMVt9nVSip-jt1y4pc0mrIAnTMy6-6MSbcFgGGXupMfOySt-yS1OlsH4a8j0XZEmDllB13r1A-2m6x6AAqLjE1tV4T-llXE-T-y/s640/blogger-image--1778801805.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaUsGDAp0cugagflmDfJmManWXc7N1WsooYYfjx70a5UMVt9nVSip-jt1y4pc0mrIAnTMy6-6MSbcFgGGXupMfOySt-yS1OlsH4a8j0XZEmDllB13r1A-2m6x6AAqLjE1tV4T-llXE-T-y/s640/blogger-image--1778801805.jpg"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJpLKRqJNq3hglS6iTIWpbwh60pEptnAqJveD2FmfI9OQd80Lj51m9N9IlrG2UUg2TaIhJDVi4ewIWU46s1uPdtuF8gcpC8e6IiSrltfBdS_Rkmy_o92VvrI-kQ8J_ZaVTN-TniKztnTgA/s640/blogger-image-1909358033.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJpLKRqJNq3hglS6iTIWpbwh60pEptnAqJveD2FmfI9OQd80Lj51m9N9IlrG2UUg2TaIhJDVi4ewIWU46s1uPdtuF8gcpC8e6IiSrltfBdS_Rkmy_o92VvrI-kQ8J_ZaVTN-TniKztnTgA/s640/blogger-image-1909358033.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The tomboy formula is simple: it's one part cool girl personality and just the right amount of borrowed-from-the-boys fashion.

If you want to look skinnier or taller, you need to wear a pinstripe garment. Verticle pinstripes elongate your figure from top to bottom and slim your waist. Horizontal stripes are stylish too, but they don't do as much for your figure.

When I began my holiday shopping last year, Oakbrook Centre had just started building a new store on the East wing. Luckily for my fifteen-year-old-self, I had my phone near by to capture a picture of the "Coming Soon" display. I later decided to update my peers on the trendy new boutique opening at the mall, so I began scrolling through the different stills I had taken. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Fast forward a few years and I'm back at my scrolling. But, what's really exciting is that I'm now an employee at that trendy boutique, fashion-retailer Aritzia! This past weekend I worked my first Black Friday with my 514 team, and it was a frantic yet thrilling experience I won't ever forget. Coupled with a long Thanksgiving day, too, I didn't get a chance to catch up on as much sleep as I'd hoped.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Luckily though, I got a break from all the commotion encompassing this weekend and spent my Saturday night at my favorite place, the theater.

If you get lucky, like I did, they you are blessed to grow up and grow old with a best friend that shares your life's blood. I don't know if I've ever said this out loud before, but I love having an older sister. My sister was my first friend, and I am very certain she will be my last. Now, I'm sure at times I fulfilled my duty in the annoying younger sister part; there wouldn't be a hole in my bedroom wall of I hadn't. However, without our back and forth, we wouldn't be able to reminisce about all the times I called steak, chicken, or when I pronounced recording wrong for so many years. I got really lucky that God gave me such a wonderful sister. As she trailblazed her way through high school, college, and post grad life, she set standards for me, which is no small task. In reality, I got so much more than a sister. I got a life long partner in crime, an inspiring role model, and someday (maybe!) a maid of honor. So, I would like to dedicate this post to my amazing sister, Katie, on her 25th birthday. Happy birthday to the (wo)man, the myth, the hipster! </span>Beth Schallerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03921144462698797745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138047832604933109.post-10541920798833789942015-11-06T12:19:00.001-08:002015-11-06T12:20:31.707-08:00Unpredictable yet Unforgettable<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHmkfE9RqxysCvQDv68D1SX3nfLcMc680iHipyhf6WjZ6bXT1ClVH5ATQKqimIM33wP9btxidvWOw6hkMnRYD9iDc-VP2J7UkKSMW1-tfqXjSwc965Kz5YfRmf8Z1rroo7m1twV3qUuaJM/s640/blogger-image-907363266.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHmkfE9RqxysCvQDv68D1SX3nfLcMc680iHipyhf6WjZ6bXT1ClVH5ATQKqimIM33wP9btxidvWOw6hkMnRYD9iDc-VP2J7UkKSMW1-tfqXjSwc965Kz5YfRmf8Z1rroo7m1twV3qUuaJM/s640/blogger-image-907363266.jpg"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhi_V7jpLa1HqLb4fX1njwa7RXFephCcZPgymYsb5-0jHk0rejhrjP1P7etqVU78uc-pR3l6g91YcVmEeVjV5sVBOxdJrbkoRzEd88bVnZpHueUweV9JtDZNNLKYQJXZAcjOFF21dxw3gT/s640/blogger-image-867432854.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhi_V7jpLa1HqLb4fX1njwa7RXFephCcZPgymYsb5-0jHk0rejhrjP1P7etqVU78uc-pR3l6g91YcVmEeVjV5sVBOxdJrbkoRzEd88bVnZpHueUweV9JtDZNNLKYQJXZAcjOFF21dxw3gT/s640/blogger-image-867432854.jpg"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG0lXZCLYs-hWTAlBmCHUMPF2pjTTcfkIn24PtU57PxRsliDylOjpP7hMm7SKiFat8kKw7NMV_88qgVu7OVzjWa0Wo7a_p6Neu4U6ETfXan5AzmJ9Gbkl23qpI22qjfMCu94sJw17VJkC0/s640/blogger-image-461459037.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG0lXZCLYs-hWTAlBmCHUMPF2pjTTcfkIn24PtU57PxRsliDylOjpP7hMm7SKiFat8kKw7NMV_88qgVu7OVzjWa0Wo7a_p6Neu4U6ETfXan5AzmJ9Gbkl23qpI22qjfMCu94sJw17VJkC0/s640/blogger-image-461459037.jpg"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It's that time of year again...when Mother Nature can't seem to make up her bloody mind!

Thankfully, our favorite movie characters can be some of the most beloved style crushes. For me, Christina Ricci's character of the Addams Family fame is one of the best style icons from the 90s. Wednesday's Peter Pan collar makes for the perfect (and appropriate!) Halloween costume. Some uncultured fools did accuse me of dressing like a pilgrim, but I simply responded with her infamous scowl. I added a modern edge element to Wednesday's classic look, using a leather harness from an old, fashion photoshoot. <br>In the spirit of Halloween and my scary movie marathon, I made sure to pose under the Elm street sign.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div>Beth Schallerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03921144462698797745noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138047832604933109.post-87604811138662947012015-10-26T15:31:00.001-07:002015-10-26T15:31:42.593-07:00Pure Rock<font color="#000000"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuJ70kdm3tiXHdc04rJsElAsUA2ErNAwXvDS2j30LJMxTjcyaynESyFhTIdBnipeCmMdbGyyUewDrEESG01WO_6RM8c3mUFV57PXv-ndWzgmgP_qclp-SYJq9dztlrJyhMYW6F4uL5XIhJ/s640/blogger-image-380167397.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuJ70kdm3tiXHdc04rJsElAsUA2ErNAwXvDS2j30LJMxTjcyaynESyFhTIdBnipeCmMdbGyyUewDrEESG01WO_6RM8c3mUFV57PXv-ndWzgmgP_qclp-SYJq9dztlrJyhMYW6F4uL5XIhJ/s640/blogger-image-380167397.jpg"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKzt2_h4p8mlXGoJORUSGR2_AUr3fpMYFipm55lXDcBBdBtIVIXKHc6cM6lLuPqvJ2BhiGZGm39gAUEYs01wl2KyMOaVMJJMyBRZ25aIU_y4tBkHYh6eEPhy5ildXbODLfYTjelmm-4Q2B/s640/blogger-image--1095640688.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKzt2_h4p8mlXGoJORUSGR2_AUr3fpMYFipm55lXDcBBdBtIVIXKHc6cM6lLuPqvJ2BhiGZGm39gAUEYs01wl2KyMOaVMJJMyBRZ25aIU_y4tBkHYh6eEPhy5ildXbODLfYTjelmm-4Q2B/s640/blogger-image--1095640688.jpg"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTDOg3eRGCThbkmKPagBKX7bVublFdOKFz5Ck9iou1tLrVKHgrN_y5rwVZ_ZSaQYroAfyn4GNw1b8WMn-U0dGf2gg_3tdhCXIgQVhD8sWwk3RXRkddNk4qpU-9-gZ0rNj5AASLbHfwJ2y4/s640/blogger-image-1740803126.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTDOg3eRGCThbkmKPagBKX7bVublFdOKFz5Ck9iou1tLrVKHgrN_y5rwVZ_ZSaQYroAfyn4GNw1b8WMn-U0dGf2gg_3tdhCXIgQVhD8sWwk3RXRkddNk4qpU-9-gZ0rNj5AASLbHfwJ2y4/s640/blogger-image-1740803126.jpg"></a></span></font><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">This outfit is pure rock.

Remember when we were little girls, and we would raid our mothers' makeup bags and take over their closets in the persuit of looking "grown-up"? Little did we know, that's where it all started. You know what they say...old habits die hard. When I was little, my mom knew my style better than I did. I delegated her to shop for me and to dress me every morning. It seems that I still look to her for fashion help because this sleeveless turtleneck is a hidden treasure from my most recent trip to her closet. It's kind of funny, though. Now that my style has matured, I sometimes find her sneaking into my room and stealing my clothes! Ah, the irony. </div>
