The weather is finally cooling down and I am determined to wear as many sweaters as I can before it is blazing hot again. I decided to pair this cute knit sweater from Kohl's tucked in to my black high waisted Hollister jeans and Steve Madden Combats.
This sweater has become a new favorite this fall/winter. I was always struggling with what jeans to wear with it since it is a crop sweater. I ended up getting these high waisted Hollister skinny jeans in this medium wash as well as black and just love pairing them with anything "cropped" This cute hot pink belt that I found in the little girls section at Target pulled the whole look together and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
I have been trying to go through all of the subjects and talk to you all about some of the tips & tricks that I have figured out! Last weekend, I decided to post two videos since I have been lacking in that department. I did the History video along with this one here on Science. You can go ahead and watch it here or read below for the 5 tips that I have! If you have any tips that you would like to share, please leave a comment on the video!
tip #1 - having a hard time memorizing the periodic table? or other diagrams like how the heart works? go to youtube and search for a song! Yes a song! People have created the periodic table song which will help you recite and memorize the periodic table of elements and there are other songs for other concepts! This is a really helpful tip for those of you who are auditory learners! Just think of how fast you memorize the lyrics to that new song, next up memorizing concepts for school in song style! or make up your own fun song or poem to help you remember any complicated concepts!
tip #2 keep up with the reading and syllabus so you can be prepared for lecture. In your syllabus there will usually be a topic of what will be discussed during lecture. If this is the case try and copy down any diagrams or illustrations before class so you aren’t having to scribble it out while its up on a slide. This way you will already have a general understanding of what it is about but you will be able to focus on what your professor is saying and really understand the small details as well.
tip #3 make sure you neatly write down any worked problems or equations. These are often hints at what will be on the test and having those worked out problems will give you a guide of what you could see in the future. If you find yourself confused don’t be afraid to ask your teacher or a classmate.
tip #4 listen carefully to the class discussion, the questions that your classmates are asking are probably worth noting. Many times the questions that we have, others will have as well, so it is important to pay attention even when it is easy to zone out when the teacher isn’t talking.
tip #5 revise your work. If you receive homework back that you didn’t do so awesome on, instead of shoving it into the black hole known as the backpack, take a look at what you did wrong so that you won’t make those mistakes again. If needed, take it to your teacher, and have them sit down with you and walk you through your errors.
I am obsessed with high waisted jeans right now! These are from Hollister, and if you read my previous post you will notice that those were from Hollister as well and actually high waisted. I just think they are perfect for just about any outing! AND they are actually super comfortable. You can wear just about anything with them like a cute crop top with some strappy brown wedges all the way to a sweet blouse tucked in, like I am wearing here!
If you are interested in getting a some jeans like this, Hollister always has a good sale going on! If you keep checking the website you will eventually see their sale that they do every few weeks where all jeans are $25! That is when I always buy mine :)
EDIT: I saw that Hollister is having a sale today (4/29) where all Jeans are $29 ... I am hoping that this isn't the "new" sale price and we will see the $25 again but we will see!
The weather has been a little crazy recently. Last week was full on summer and this week is a little chilly with some wind! I really don't mind though, especially if the weather allows me to throw on a cute chunky sweater! This is one of my favorites from Forever 21, it is actually made pretty well and is pretty heavy. I am not a huge fan of spending too much money on sweaters since I live in a perpetual summer but when I do, Forever 21 is the place to go :) I believe this is currently sold out, but I will link similar items below!

I have shared a few photos here and there of my re-decorated room but thought that it was time to sit down and put together a blog post as well as a mini room tour video for all of you!
I was hesitant for awhile to repaint my room, mostly because I was going to have to paint over my favorite color that a) took forever to find and b) it had been on my walls for almost 8 years.
Anyways, here it is! I am going to link as many of the items below each photo above! If I am unable to find a product, I will link something similar :)
ps.. This paint color is called Grayish by Sherwin Williams
