Tucson Arizona recap

wearing: hoop earrings / black knit top / pink nail polish / classic jeans / small tote / sneakers /

Last year we visited Tucson and had fun seeing all the desert had to offer, this year we did a quick trip to check out the University of Arizona. It was a really pretty campus with food robots! If you scroll down, I included a pic of one. haha

We found a friendly, locally owned sushi restaurant named “Flakes” right across from campus the food was yummy, and the owner was really nice and knowledgeable about the Tucson area. I highly recommend going if you are in the Tucson area!

I normally stay away from hotel breakfasts because they tend to be on the pricey side without a lot of value, but the Tucson Marriot was different. They had a delicious breakfast menu and there was also a buffet which looked good. We ordered off the menu and our food was delicious. I highly recommend it!

Our flight out of Tucson was at an awkward time, so we went a little bit early and ate dinner before our flight. I am so glad we did! Our food was really delicious. We enjoyed dinner at “El Charro Cafe,” I highly recommend it! Yum!

What I wore for the college tour:

Well, it was a really quick trip to Tucson! So that’s it!

Thanks for stopping by!

College Station TX recap

wearing: hoop earrings / stripe top / pink nail polish / small tote bag / classic jeans / sneakers /

Spring break was a couple quick trips. We took a whirlwind trip to College Station, Texas to visit Tex A & M. It is a college town a lot of traditions and an overall friendly, good vibe. Love!

One of the traditions my son liked was the “12th Man” which relates to the fans always being ready for the coach to put them in. This goes back to an old story when the school played a game and were short a player, so a fan got ready on the sidelines in case he needed to be put on the field. He never did go in the game, but they did win the game and felt like the “12th man” was a lucky charm, thus the tradition began. It was a really cool story and tradition.

It seems like every school has a tree with a legend. My daughter’s school has a tree which will grant you a 4.0 if you study under it. Texas A & M has the century tree pictured above. It can grant you lifelong love with your significant other and countless proposals happen every year underneath it. So cute!

Across the street from the school there is a fun restaurant named “Red’s Ice House.” The food was really good. I enjoyed fish and chips while my son enjoyed a burger. I highly recommend it if you are in town!

Rosa’s Cafe & Tortilla Factory is a fast casual restaurant way from campus. Is has a large menu and decent tex-mex food. I recommend it for a quick meal at a good price. Plus, the staff is really friendly and helpful. Loved that!

I think it would be really fun to go back for a football game someday. It was a nice campus and I was impressed overall.

BAF Weekly IT List

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: stripe top / Hermes spring nail polish / Chanel nail polish / Dior summer nail polish / black handbag / caramel top handle bag / pearl earrings / golden earrings / Chanel fragrance / glam sandals / moto bag / maxi skirt /

Hermes has restocked their spring summer nail polish! If you were waiting to get your hands on it, you can find it online here. Love! In addition, Dior has released their summer nail polish and there is a fabulous golden hue and a blue polish. I am wearing the blue one as we speak! Love it!

As we breeze through the spring season and look towards summer, the anonymous handbag remains supreme. In addition, touches of glam are hitting the streets with metallic accents, more jewelry, and pops of color. Our minimalist style is starting to get a personality. As you add glam to your overall looks, remember no logos! They are horribly out of style.

When it comes to fragrance, spicy florals and florals in general are hot right now. Love these classic spring summer scents!
