It's Monday..time for a music post

As the title implies, this is gonna be another music post.  It's been a few days since my last post and since then, I've begin to listen to this indie rock band, Imagine Dragons.  I'm not even sure if I'm late getting on this bandwagon, but nevertheless, they are amazing.  Kinda my new obsession.

"It's Time"

"My Fault"

"Demons"

Currently listening to: Imagine Dragons, of course

Happy Halloween


I know it's a bit of overkill, posting two days in a row, but I had to.  It was a perfectly brisk, fall day today and I made a quick cider run in CW before the hours and hours of work and studying I'll be doing for the rest of the week.  Here are some pictures from today:

Flowers :)

Incredibly vibrant tree I came across in CW

Not a black cat, but the pose makes up for it.

Spotted: cows!

Peanut Shoppe: Spiced Maple Pumpkin Dip and animal crackers

Display in the Peanut Shoppe
 
And of course I had to go into the Candy Shop

Where's the candy corn?!  I was slightly disappointed; three different stores and nowhere to buy bulk candy corn.

 
Satchel from ClubCouture; it came in the mail earlier last week.  The two of us have been attached at the hip...literally, since I got it.




Lace skirt from target, gray top from Forever 21, scarf from Burlington.

Currently listening to: "Sound of Silence" The Gentlemen of the College (check it out here; the arrangement gives me chills)

You say "to-ma-to", I say "to-mah-to"

When I first started seeing the oxblood trend on Lookbook, pinterst, and other fashion media, I was a bit confused.  Oxblood...maroon...crimson, it's all the same to me, and it wasn't really anything new.  Nevertheless, it's still an autumn favorite.

Looking through my recent lookbook hypes, I didn't realize how many looks I'd hyped that had oxblood.  The first one is definitely my favorite.

Hark Upon the Gale

More families than usual walking around campus and a weekend full of events?  It must be Homecoming Weekend.  :)

Seeing all of the alum, those I know and those who were here long before I was even born, makes me anticipate and dread the inevitable day when I'll no longer be a student here.  It's incredibly frightening to have to think about life after college, but I'll be alright.  Can't stay in school forever.

Our Alma Mater:
Hark! the students' voices swelling
Strong and true and clear.
Alma Mater's love they're telling,
Ringing far and near.

William and Mary loved of old
Hark upon the gale,
Hear the thunder of our chorus
Alma Mater - Hail.

All thy sons are faithful to thee,
Through their College days,
Singing loud from hearts that love thee,
Alma Mater's praise.

Iron-shod or golden-sandaled
Shall the years go by
Yet our hearts shall weave about thee
Love that cannot die.

God, our Father, hear our voices
Listen to our cry;
Bless the College of our fathers,
Let her never die.

"Oh, have I been too discreet?"

A montage of pictures covering my day walking around Old Town with my sister.



Tapas restaurant.  Just makes me think about how I want to make paella.  :)

I love the different colors of the row houses.  I'm going to end up living in a row house..it's gonna happen.

 Spotted the beginnings of fall.


Trolley!
