LIFE LATELY: I'M BAAAAAAAAAAACK

Oy. Worst blogger award goes to....ME. Partially for ignoring you all for a while, partially for missing my own blogiversary. OOPS. How have I been blogging for 4 years? I'll get a nostalgic post up on here soon about the last 4 years (blah blah blah) but for now, here's what I've been up to:

-------------

1. Fall camping! Last weekend Michael and I went up to camp in Door County, and then went to the Packers vs Rams game at Lambeau. Camping was ridiculously awesome, and the game was just as great. If you're headed to Door County in the near future and are looking for recommendations, shoot me an email (beautyandbeard (at) gmail (dot) com)- I'd love to send some ideas your way!

2. Sparkly Jewels: I've still got my Rocksbox subscription going on- and it has been awesome to see how many of you have been trying it out as well. (For free with code beautyandbeardxoxo!). If you still have questions, I'm always happy to answer how the service works- there's no need to feel dumb to ask- I'm a little wary of subscription services myself, so I totally don't blame you. Just shoot an email to the address mentioned above! If you are ready to try your first month FO FREE, just go to rocksbox.com and use code "beautyandbeardxoxo" 

3. #LPWallCrawl: I love following Studio DIY on her wall crawl series, so I decided to start my own series on Instagram-- follow along here: #LPWallCrawl

4. The Shopbop Friends & Family sale is my JAM. Shopbop rarely does sales, and this one only comes around twice a year. 25% off almost everything! Winning.

5. Four Fall Recipes: Fall means it's time for some recipes that make you feel extra cozy and warm. Some of my favorite repeats are: Ranch Pumpkin Seeds // Quinoa Stuffed Red Peppers // Aged White Cheddar Mac & Cheese // Spicy Red Pepper Pasta

What has been new with you my dears?

Tell me what's been going on!

LIFE LATELY: BADGER WEEKEND

 Oh my gosh. Blog world! HELLO!

I haven't been posting much lately, which I guess makes me a bad blogger- but I was busy enjoying summer- so...that makes me a better human maybe? I don't know. You decide.

Here's what's been up in the last week!

1. OH MAN. This last weekend. You guuuuyyys. We had a big ol' fashioned college reunion this weekend and it was fabulous. A big group of our former Badgers drove/flew back to Madison to watch the game and celebrate the Wisconsin way! We had epic weather for the game- just look at this view:

2. Clearly I needed to take some artsy pictures. Shocking, I know. 

3. Speaking of not shocking, here's one of the most recent #everythinginrainbow order posts. Jelly Bellies for lyfe.

4. A few of you signed up for Rocksbox this weekend with code "beautyandbeardxoxo" - sending virtual hugs your way- hope you love your new FREE month of jewelry! (code is still active for you ladies on the fence too! ;-) )

5. People this weekend could not get over my phone case this weekend! Details on it HERE. 

That's whats up lately with me- what's new with you all?

Anyone else READY for fall?

24 MUST HAVE PHONE CASES!

I've mentioned it before, but I change my phone case pretty frequently.

A couple years ago I found an awesome artist named Monika Strigel. We chatted a bit and I ended up getting one of her phone cases. Recently I was perusing Shopbop and I saw some phone cases that I loved...and realized they were Moni's! Her designs had been picked up by them- which was clearly impressive, right? I sent her an email to congratulate her and she sent me a case from her new line. I'm absolutely in love with it and I get compliments on it all the time!

Here are 24 of my favorite of her current designs, all crazy well priced at Casetify. Obviously I love the top row since that's what I own (in an Iphone 5s, since I'm behind the times), but I also love the second to last row.

After you check them all out, be sure to let me know what your favorite is:

You can shop all of the cases right HERE on Moni's Casetify shop!

Now you've got to let me know which your favorite is!
