Christmas Wishlist: Barbour Beadnell Jacket

Well folks, Thanksgiving is now over which means that my full attention has officially been turned to Christmas!! Ugh this time of year is the best. Over the Thanksgiving break, I had a lot of family from out of town come visit, and the question that seemed to be recurring was, "Marit, what do you want for Christmas?" Normally, I have a whole list of things that I desperately want, but this year I noticed that my list has been more sparse. One thing I'm really coveting though is Barbour's Beadnell jacket. Everytime I see this jacket on Instagram, Tumblr, or on other blogs, I feel myself wanting it in my wardrobe even more than I had initally. Plus, I think it'll be a greatly used jacket next year as I head off to college! Above are Mackenzie, Carly, and Sarah (some of my three favorite bloggers) sporting the coveted jacket.

What's on your Christmas list?
I'd love to know!!

Until Next Time!

Outfit: Thanksgiving Dinner

I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving yesterday! I enjoyed the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (#ofcourse), and stuffed my face full with turkey, cranberry sauce, and this delicious brussels sprout dish my aunt makes (I know, you're probably thinking eww brussels sprouts, but I swear it's ah-mazing). 

Above is the outfit that I wore to Thanksgiving dinner, and all I have to say is that I'm in love with this blue J.Crew sweater! My aunt (different aunt-- not brussels sprouts aunt) got it for me for my birthday and I can't stop wearing it. Also, I had to use my dad's iPhone to take these pictures because my DLSR camera was out of battery, so the pictures are a bit blurry (sorry), and totally don't do the sweater justice.

How was your Thanksgiving?
I'd love to hear from you!

Until Next Time!

Happy Thanksgiving!

First of all I want to start out by saying...HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

I know it's been almost a week since my last post, and I am extremely sorry about that. I've definitely missed posting these past few days on Girl on the Verge, but this week has been a whirlwind of tests, projects, and more tests (teachers just want to cram as much work in as possible before the Thanksgiving break-- don't you hate that?). Anyway, I'm glad to be back  and done with all of my hectic school work. I just wanted to check in with you guys and tell you to stay tuned for some exciting upcoming posts-- you can expect a Thanksgiving OOTD and an everyday makeup post in the near future! I truly hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with laughs and delicious food (I can't wait for some stuffing and mashed potatoes myself!!), and make sure to check in tomorrow!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Until Next Time!

As it becomes colder and colder the closer we get to winter (it has literally been 15 degrees for the past few days #nothankyou), I've been looking for a better way to still look cute while staying warm in the freezing temperatures. Cue the fur!! Lately I've been loving faux-fur as a way to still look chic and stay warm, all at the same time! Above I've included some of my favorite faux-fur looks from Pinterest, that I hope will offer you some style inspiration as the weather begins to plunge further and further!

Would you wear the faux fur look?

Do They Know It's Christmas?

11/18/2014

With the Christmas season around the corner, one song that I always look forward to is "Do They Know It's Christmas?" This song was originally made in 1984 to raise money for relief for the 1983-85 famine in Ethiopia, and included a handful of British singers including Sting and Bono. This year, the song was re-recorded by the famous British singers of today to raise money and awareness for the widespread Ebola epidemic in West Africa. Whichever holiday you choose to celebrate, I think it's crucial that we also think about those in need this time of year.

To donate and help put an end to the Ebola epidemic, you can buy this song on iTunes here!

Until Next Time!

When it comes to holiday shopping, I excel at shopping for my girlfriends, sister, and mom-- basically any of the women in my life. Where I tend to struggle, however, is when I try to think of great gift ideas for the guys in my life (dad, brother, etc.). Thankfully, I can always count on J.Crew to save the day! On J.Crew's website, they have a whole list of perfect gift ideas for men on their holiday gift guide, which are organized by color (how perfect, am I right?). Above I've included some of my favorites that are sure to be the perfect gift for any guy on your list!

Which item is your favorite?
 Know of any other good websites for great guy gifts?
I'd love to hear what you think!

Until Next Time!

Since a young age, Clinique has always been one of my favorite makeup and skincare companies. I remember being thirteen and buying my first tube of natural-looking mascara at the makeup counter in Nordstrom and feeling like I had so much makeup on my face, when in retrospect I was barely wearing anything! Still, my love of the Clinique brand and the fresh, simple quality of makeup that it produces has remained a staple in my makeup collection. Here are some of the current Clinique beauty favorites that I've been pining after.

Do you enjoy Clinique makeup? Have any favorite products?
I'd love to hear them!

Current Fashion Inspiration 

11/13/2014

It's Thursday guys, which means only one more day until Fridayy!! Today I thought I'd talk with you all about fashion inspiration. Lately I've noticed that in choosing my outfits, I tend to incorporate looks  or styles that I've seen some of my fav TV characters or bloggers sporting, as I find taking inspiration from what others wear is a key part in discovering my own style. So without adieu, let's get into some of my current inspirations...

1. Blair Waldorf (obvi)
Picture
Classic, sophisticated, feminine. Need I say more?


2. Leandra Medine

Picture
Love, love, love how Leandra plays around with shapes, colors, and textures. 
She definitely inspires me to be more adventurous with my style!


3. Taylor Swift

Picture
I've been loving Taylor's looks lately-- chic, elegant, and most importantly...fun! 
And can we talk about those dresses in the "Blank Space" video, I mean...

Latest Obsession: Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" Video

So...I basically blame this video for not allowing me enough time to finish my homework-- I seriously cannot stop watching. If you guys haven't seen T. Swift's new music video for her song "Blank Space" off her new album 1989 (which I'm sure is highly unlikely), you need, I repeat NEED to watch it!! This music video perfectly encapsulates the point of her song, and even though she goes a bit cray-cray towards the end, I still find myself asking the most pressing question, "Can I please just be her?" It is ultimate perfection...there's nothing else to say. 

Typically I would post the video for you guys, but unfortunately, the video has been blocked and can only be
 seen on YouTube.

{ Check out the video here. }

What did you guys think of the music video?

Until Next Time!
