{eating} edamame is possibly my new favorite food. it has always been a fav considering i work at a sushi place but the bags you can just stick in the microwave and sprinkle with some sea salt..oh yeah hit me up with one, or two, or five.

{drinking} well not yet but I have been CRAVING a chestnut praline latte from Starbucks like is is my job. which i really wish it was…getting paid for drinking pure sweetness would be pretty, well, “sweet” if i do say so myself.

{listening to} Hello by Adele. But then again who ISN’T? I am in love with it in every aspect and am so obsessed with playing it over and over and over and over again while I do my homework or chill before bed.

{reading} Amy Pohler’s book, “Yes Please” I never got around to it when it first came out but I finally got my hands on it and It is the funniest yet most interesting book I’ve ever read. If you’re up for a good read and a case of the giggled give it a try!

{stalking} Megan from Sparkles and Sprinkles. The name says it all, obviously I’m in love. She has the sweetest style and sassiest personality that combines for such fun reads on her page! I could spend all day browsing through the fun fashion and lifestyle posts!

until next time!

1.so being a dancer i have a love for watching others dance and seeing how they are able to express themselves brings me so much joy. This video of Kyle Hanagami’s choreography to Macklemore’s “Downtown” is seriously to die for. I’ve watched it religiously and am still in love.

2. I am the biggest scaredy cat you could ever meet so this post on how to NOT celebrate Halloween on Halloween is super relevant to my spooky situation, and totally genius!

3. Pumpkin Spice Blondies, Carly you just understand me in every way.

4. must have shoes for fall list has been on my mind while picking my kicks this season…all of these basics with a twist are too fun!

5. Halloween is tomorrow and the goodies WILL be too good to pass up, so keep in mind Lauren Conrad’s Nutritionist-Approved Stay Fit for Halloween post!

6. have you seen my super exciting post on instagram? if not make sure to check out @xoxoallisonnicole for the surprise!

7. Maybe it’s the leather patches or maybe it is just the fact that I’m in love with Carly, but this outfit post with the leather sweater makes my heart swoon!

8. i adore braids. I think they’re such a fun texture to add to any hairstyle. this zig-zag braid is totally out there and fun and i can’t wait to try it on a buddy!

9. So i’m a hardcore LUSH fan and when I found out this product existed I squealed. It’s called Fairy Dust and is literally an illuminating pink dust that you can put over your whole body every morning…magical right? I NEED to go pick some up asap because I can’t think of a better way to start your morning!

10. flashback to #6 because I can’t contain my excitement! I am leaving for NYC on December 24th with my best friend and am jumping for joy excited about it! If any of you out there are from the city or have any scoop or where to go/what to do, comment here or email me at xoxoallisonnicole@gmail.com !!

Happy Halloween! Stay safe and have fun!

Blair and Serena spotted being as stylish as ever this October. Oh sorry I mean it is just me and my pal Anya in blazers and plaid.

We had twin day for spirit week and I couldn’t even fathom a better couple for Anya and I than the infamous and oh so sassy Blair and Serena. It was seriously so much fun acting like I grew up in a prep school for a day and wearing my curls and bow headband seriously put me on top of the world. May I also add that wearing red tights boosts your confidence about 10 points.

The costumes were SO easy to pull together and we had most everything in our closets. I had to run to Target and grab those tights but I will confirm that is the best $8 I’ve ever spent. Seriously, if you’re looking to strut your inner Upper East sider this Halloween, grab your cutest blouse, make sure your headband is to the right, and throw on some colored tights and grab your go-to gal pal to do the same!

much love to Anya for being the Serena to my Blair and much love to Tessa for keeping me on track while I write this post while I’m supposed to be working on our school newspaper…thx girly girl!

until next time, xoxo, you know you love me…

Ally (&Anya)
