July Favorites!

July Favorites!
The month of July is over which means it is August. That also means that school is almost here! I leave super early to go back to school because of rush and everything so I will be back on August 8th. I am so excited to go back but at the same time I don't want to actually do work... I'd rather be with my friends and go to my clubs then actually do homework. But none the less I am still super excited for the month of August. However what were my favorite things of July? Well here they are! 

 

Crafting: This month I have probably been to the craft store at least 6 times. I have been working like a crazy person crafting for my room, my future little(s), my big, and for my friends birthday! I wanted to get everything done ahead of time so I didn't have to worry about it once school started. As of now I have one more thing to do then I am done! But, I have done lots of little projects this month and I love how they turned out. I can't show you guys yet because I still have to give my things to everyone but I will be sure to do a post on all of my DIY room decor and sorority gifts. 


Visiting friends: This month I have been all over the place visiting friends. I have been to Iowa a few times to visit Pi Phi's and go back to Ames for a weekend. It has been great seeing some of my college friends during the summer time because I miss everyone so so much! Also, at the end of this month I will be going to Tennessee to visit my friend who goes to University of Tennessee which will be super fun! (Be on the look out for a post on my vacation to Tennessee!) 


Andy Grammer: At the beginning of the month I went to see Andy Grammer in concert. Ever since I have been OBSESSED with him! I love his music and I wish I could re-live that concert because it was so fun. 

5 Seconds of Summer's new album: I have mentioned 5 SOS in a recent monthly favorites post but they are here again. They just came out with their new album and to say I'm obsessed is an understatement. My top songs are Mrs All American, End Up Here, Beside You, and Heart Break Girl




Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: The Nordstrom sale is the most wonderful time of the year, besides Christmas. You can literally get anything you need for fall at the fraction of the cost. I always get my shoes from this sale for the next school year. This year I picked up a great pair of midi boots, a black pair of riding boots, and a pair of Tory Burch flats. Be on the lookout for a blog haul from the sale!!

ONE DIRECTION concert: featuring 5 Seconds of Summer

July 13th, 2013:

Where are my One Direction fans out there? Well, I am a HUGE One Direction fan, to say the least. The Take Me Home tour in Chicago was one of the most AMAZING concerts I have ever been to. It was for sure one of the best nights of my summer so far. I didn't think you could top the first concert, The Up All Night tour which was about over a year ago, but it completely did.

I bought these tickets over a year ago for this concert. In other words I hadn't heard the CD or even knew if I would still like them. But, I love their current album even more then the first one. I think when you go to a concert where you know all of the words to every song its so much more fun. So, two of my friends and I danced and sang basically the whole time. My arm hurts so bad from holding up my camera but it was completely worth it because I got some amazing shots. So here are some of my pictures and videos from the concert. If you like One Direction I hope you enjoy!

The outfit:
With my outfit I basically was being a typical "directioner" and mimicking Louis's classic blue and white striped look. Also, I wore the red bow belt to represent a bow tie because the boys always wear bow ties.  But, overall I just wanted a cute summer look but still had touches of the band. I'm not really into the puffy paint t-shirt look so I thought this was a classy upgrade.

I did my on nails using mostly the Revlon nail art polishes. I made a UK flag on my thumb and just a striped pattern on my middle finger.
