Behind Her Pretty Face
Welcome to my blog, my personal outlet on anything and everything- but mostly fashion. I live in the Midwest, but travel often. I love reading, cheesecake, and german shepherds (but I don't have one- yet). For more information, check out the sidebar!

Winter Wardrobe Must-Haves 2016
New post featuring my winter wardrobe must haves:
Fall is becoming a memory of the past as the temperatures slowly but surely keep dropping. While it would be easy to get upset about saying goodbye to the gorgeous, golden hues of autumn trees, it’s much better to try and stay positive about the situation. After all, there is at least one reason to be excited about winter. What’s that, you ask?
The fashion!
There’s something so fun about…

Black Friday & Cyber Monday Sales (2016)
The best Black Friday sales you have to shop:
It’s extremely well known that I love online shopping. If I can shop from the comfort of my couch, while catching up on my favorite shows and eating ice cream, why would I want to do it any other way? So it goes without saying that Thanksgiving weekend is one of my favorites for shopping. (The same cannot be said for my bank account.) Now, after years of trial and error and internet help, I’ve…

Thankful For My Sisters (+ A Giveaway)
In honor of Thanksgiving, I'm holding a #giveaway for my lovely readers with @TCStandard. Enter here:
[pp_gallery id=”2155″]
This past weekend, we (the Epsilon Eta Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta) initiated 41 wonderful women into our chapter, which put us at 114 sisters. I couldn’t be more proud of how much our chapter has grown during my time here. We could barely fit everyone in the photo, friends.
Every initiation makes me nostalgic, and if we’re being honest, very misty-eyed. It doesn’t help that…

This Election & Us
My reaction to this election:
Last night, I went to bed before knowing the election results. In the back of my mind, I truly believed that a Trump presidency was impossible. I woke up at 5:30 this morning terrified from a nightmare in which Trump had won. Then, I checked the internet and realized that he had won. I laid back down and prayed to wake up. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep again. I pinched myself. I did…

White For Fall
I promised myself a long time ago that I would cut back on the number of times I said, “I’m tired” in a given day. Everyone is tired, especially when you’re in college. College students are never actually well rested, and if they are, I would love to know their secret.
That being said, I am exhausted today due to caffeine withdrawal. This is what I get for constantly drinking coffee, but I can’t…

Hats & Smiles
A new fall #ootd is now on the blog!
Do you ever have those times where you are the Energizer Bunny on a triple shot espresso, but it feels wonderful? This semester has been that time for me. Obviously not all the time, because sometimes I feel like death and want to curl up under the covers for the winter, but most of the time.
This year, I have the opportunity to intern for a local entrepreneur, Jael, who owns a photography…

Blog Redesign
My blog (Chin Up, Buttercup) recently got a facelift. Check out the redesign, along with the process behind it here:
You may or may not have noticed that Chin Up, Buttercup got a facelift! I decided that I wanted to change the look sometime last year, but I never fully committed to the redesign until recently. To be honest, I had thought I committed during the summer when I started putting together this mood board, but I got cold feet when I thought of the price tag. Recently, I had this feeling that now was…

UAE Travel Diary: Liwa
My dad joins a (sort of) biker gang & other stories of my desert adventures: #travelblog #wanderlust
My dad joined a biker gang. Well, sort of. To clarify he joined an off-roading club. In my opinion, they’re just as hardcore as any biker gang. Probably more so since they have to map their own way in the desert, ride down 40 foot slip faces, and shit in the desert. I’m pretty sure shitting in the desert is more hardcore than a bar fight since there aren’t even shrubs for you to hid behind. You…

My Skincare Essentials
Day to day, I don’t use too many products. I have a standard cleanse, tone, and moisturize routine in the morning and at night. It’s taken me some time to realize this, but amazing skin is worth every penny. That being said, it’s a fine line between spending all your hard earned cash on facial treatments and spending very little on useless products.
Mostly, I save money when it comes to…

Where to Shop for Workout Clothes
Where to shop for cute workout clothes:
The gym has become a part of my (almost) everyday routine. There’s a sentence I never thought I’d say… But it has, and I actually love the time I get to spend working out. It goes without saying, the more often I work out, the more workout gear I need. I’ve recently been getting some questions about where to shop for workout clothes- without spending a small fortune.

Reasons to Smile, vol. 1
Reasons I smiled this week:
I’ve given a lot of thought as to what I wanted this column to be. In the end, I decided that it would be a peek into my life and what has made me smile over the course of the week. I was also considering renaming it to something a little less cheerful, but everyone could use a little cheer in his or her life. I’m also a firm believer that even during the worst days, there’s always some…

Big/Little Craft Ideas
Stumped for big/little craft ideas? Here are a few: #biglittlelove #biglittleweek
I’ve gotten a lot of questions about what I do for Big/Little Week. I prefer to make most of my littles’ gifts; it feels more personal that way. We were also pressed for time this semester, so I didn’t have time to order anything. I also didn’t want to pay outrageous extra shipping costs. Usually, I plan for about two canvases, a picture frame, a personalized jar, letters, a quill box, and…

Spring Break Wishlist
What to pack for spring break, if you're not already there: #newontheblog
one | two | three | four | five | six | seven | eight | nine | ten | eleven | twelve | thirteen | fourteen | fifteen | sixteen | seventeen
Even though I didn’t go anywhere exciting- I’m firmly parked on my couch back home for the week- it’s actually kind of perfect. During midterms, I fell behind in many (read: almost all) aspects of my life, so this break is giving me time to get caught up.…

Alpha Xi Delta Big/Little Reveal!
A recap of our #AXiD #biglittlereveal is now up on the blog: #biglittlelove
I’m back after another hiatus with some amaXing (amazing, for you non-AXiDs) news: I’ve added another little to my family!
Between my four midterms , reports for the chapter, and Big/Little Week, life has been absolutely bonkers. (Thank you, Tapingo, for keeping me fed, because I couldn’t even handle that myself this past week.) Besides the regular crafting for my new little, this…
