On my Radar

Currently: I am pretending like I don’t have a test tomorrow. So I’m here right now, making a blog post for y’all instead. GO ME! I haven’t done one of these in a while, so I figured, why not now.

swell-birchwood-water-bottle

One // S’well bottle

Is it safe to say I am a S’well convert? I just got my S’well bottle in the mail two days ago, and to be honest I haven’t put it down since. This baby is 25 ounces of metal goodness. It’s cute and functional so it can’t get any better. I’m trying to get my 64 ounces in a day, and this is def helping.

Two // Evernote

I just discovered this note taking app in January, and I really really like it. Usually, I’m not a huge fan of taking notes on my computer, but this semester, I’ve been into it. Evernote is awesome because you can organize all of your notes in notebooks, tags, and even add graphics, import files and videos to your notes too. It’s been super helpful in keeping me organized for school.

Fitbit-Flex-Black

Three // Fit Bit flex

GUESS WHAT Y’ALL? I REACHED 10,000 STEPS TODAY. What a feat. I honestly never expected that I would become so obsessed with counting my steps? This thing does much more than that though. It tracks sleep, steps, miles, and I can challenge my friends to step-offs.

tresreverseshampoo

Four // Tresemme Beauty-full volume shampoo + conditioner

I needed a new shampoo + conditioner regimen, and I saw a commercial on this one, so I picked it up from the drugstore. So far I like it a lot, it’s giving me a lot of volume! I love the reverse system – it’s actually saving me a lot of time in the shower. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for something different!

Anything that’s been on y’alls radar lately? Let me know in the comments.

Until next time…

You’re only 19 once… | My Birthday Wishlist

Posted in Uncategorized
on 01/20/2016

The time has come once again… it’s finally my birthday this weekend (January 23)! In preparation for questions from family members, friends and my parents- here’s what I’m wishing for this year (hint, hint Mom and Dad).

birthday-wishlist-1-lgip

Kendra Scott Elisa // Cannon Rebel T3i // Phone Case // FitBit Flex //Ray Ban Aviators

// Cannon Rebel T3i //

As my blog grows, I’ve found the need for a new camera. The camera I currently use is my sisters (thanks Reag), and I’ve overstayed my welcome with it quite a bit. I’ve heard nothing but great things about this camera, and it was reasonably priced, so I wanted to give it a try. It’s got a flip out screen and it shoots video in 1800 HP. I’m super excited to finally have a nice camera of my own. Going from a Nikon to a Cannon is gonna be a big step, but I think I’m going to enjoy using something different.

// Kendra Scott Elisa //

I’m so disappointed in myself and I recently lost my Kendra Scott Elisa between LSU and home during break :( I loved that necklace so much, it really does look fantastic with anything. Layering it with my gold Alpha Phi necklace dressed up my usual uniform of a tee-shirt and yoga pants. I had a minty green color for my last one, but the amethyst color is catching my eye. Plus I have 50% of one item for my birthday month at Kendra Scott so I may just end up buying this one for myself! ;)

// Phone Case //

I ended up getting a new phone because my other phone screen shattered to pieces (the MINUTE I took off my glass screen protector) and I had insurance on it. The Speck case I have now is kinda beaten up so I am on the market for a new one. The case doesn’t even have to have that much protection due to the fact that I have the glass screen protector which has saved my life many, many times (Get it here). Casify has such adorable cases and I thought this one would be so stinking cute for my phone. It’s got some protection in it which is always a plus, regardless of whether or not I need it!

// Fit Bit //

In my quest to TRY to be healthier this year (keyword: try), I’ve been super interested in getting a FitBit. This one is really sleek and compact, and it tells you steps, distance, calories burned and sleep. I love the black color because it will go with anything. I do a lot of walking around campus, so I’m always yearning to know how many steps I’m taking per day! I’ve heard a lot of great things about this Fitbit, so that always helps too!

// Ray Ban Aviators //

Do y’all think I’m crazy yet? I am clearly obsessed with sunglasses and this further proves it. They are always a go to when someone doesn’t know what to get me. I love the Aviators from Ray Ban, and I think this golden brown ombre is really different. I think they would look good with my dark hair and dark eyebrows!

When is your birthday? Have you started making a wish list?

One // Layering Necklaces

Layering necklaces is a huge trend this year. I have been super into layering my Kendra Scott Elisa necklace with my simple Alpha Phi bar necklace. I just love the way it looks when I wear it with anything because it draws interest. Check it out the the pic above.

Two // PHHHOTO

How fun is it to make your own GIFS? I’ve been loving Photo because it’s so fun and different from any other social media I’m on. (I tried to insert my gif into this post but it didn’t work so here’s a nice still pic of my eyeball).

  Three // Suede everything

This suede dress is probably one of my all time favorites for gameday. The detail on the top is so simple, but it really takes this dress to a more feminine level. I love the way it fits too- not too tight or short. Suede booties are super trendy for this season too. There’s so many colors and styles out there right now, it’s crazy. I love a simple black suede bootie because it’s sure to go with everything. You can get mine here.

  

Four // The O.C.

I recently just discovered that the CW has an online streaming service kind of thing called CW Seed. After taking a peek at the shows that were on it, I immediately knew I wanted to watch the O.C. When it was on air, I was too young to watch it but I’ve always heard so much about it. Plus Adam Brody (Leighton Meester’s husband), Mischa Barton and Rachel Bilson star in it- so you can’t go wrong, right? After the first episode, it kind of reminds me of a One Tree Hill and Laguna Beach mix. I cannot wait to keep watching!

  
Five // Planner

The life of a college student is crazy. Sorority, School, Friends- it’s so hard to keep all of my shiz together. I’m constantly writing everything down in my planner so I don’t forget. Plus washi tape and some colored Sharpie pens make this cute, yet functional.

  

Six // “Perfect” by 1D

I’M IN LOVE. As of I didn’t already love One Direction enough, this song stole my heart. It’s got such a catchy hook and the reference to T-Swift (as shown in pic above) makes me swoon.

First things first

Posted in Uncategorized
on 07/17/2015

Let’s get this straight- I am not a “blogger.” I don’t exactly have a way with words. I’m not always sure of what to say. But one thing I do know is that I love (I mean LOOOVE) fashion, and beauty and all things us southern girls pride ourselves on. I’m starting this blog as a creative outlet for me to write about fashion, and beauty, and life in general.

First things first, I’ll tell you a bit about me. My name is Madison. I am a freshman in college at Louisiana State University (can I get a GEAUX TIGERS?!). I’m going to be majoring in Fashion Merchandising, with hopes of one day being a buyer for a big company or owning my own boutique. I’ll be rushing as well, so I hope to definitely write about my rush experience and future sisterhood (fingers crossed!). I am a dog lover, as well as a perfectionist, and somewhat dramatic.

Anyways, to the point of this post (I’m sure you can tell by now that I may like to babble… just a little bit)- I have high hopes for this blog. I hope that by me sharing my journey, you’ll find inspiration and have a few laughs along the way. So without further ado….. I present to you, Louisiana Girl in Pearls.

xoxo, louisiana girl in pearls
