Fall Cravings (Episode 3)

A few more fall favorite finds - thank goodness for this blog otherwise I'd be broke!

Tortoise Necklace :: Forget the typical metals, tortoise adds a rich element to fall's jewel tones 
Rose Colored Sunglasses :: Against your now fairer skin, rose will be less harsh than black.
Varsity Jacket :: In black and gray, this boyish silhouette can still be work appropriate.
Light Pink Overcoat :: The drabness of the coming months (along with your mood) is lightened with this topper.
Camouflage Sweater :: It seems that this print is coming to be leopard's more casual but just as versatile cousin.

Fall Cravings (Episode 2)

A few more favorite things for fall...

Men's cardigan :: oversized and textured is a must to add coziness to your weekend uniform of skinnies and a tee
D'Orsay pump :: these are the perfect color and amount of toe cleavage for all those cropped trousers 
Graphic gold cuff :: imagine this over a thin sweater with a blazer on your shoulders and a pencil skirt
Leather pleated skirt :: mid-length is key for delaying the every day necessity of wearing tights
Navy leather jacket :: give your black moto jacket a rest for this one that's just as versatile yet unexpected
Gray jeans :: shading and edgy details make these jeans so much more interesting than your dark blue ones

Lately (August Edition)

Since I'm on an spending freeze (ok, not complete freeze, maybe a frost), which I'm happy to do to make our wedding everything we have dreamed of, I'm relying on you to purchase these must-have items that would make up my monthly "Lately" feature. Then, please tell me all about it so I can live vicariously through you. Thankyouverymuch.

1. Denim Skirt :: Please understand that this is not the Abercrombie version that you wore in high school with wedge flip flops. Find yours herehere, or distress your own with a consignment or thrift store find!
2. Matching Short Suit :: Your new date night outfit can be found herehere, hereor even create your own with a blazer and shorts in the same print/texture/color paired with a plain blouse. 
3. Grid Print Blouse :: This graphic print is more chic than plaid or gingham and not as overdone as horizontal stripes. Pick one out for yourself at Forever 21.
3. Reflective Shades :: These 90s throwbacks provide an instant pop of color along with the ability to people watch without being caught. Find yours herehereor here.
5. Vertical Stripe Trousers :: They're slimming and don't require a lot of thought since your best bet is to pair them with white, black, or chambray and leave color for the accessories. Find yours here, here, or here.
6. Neon Yellow Statement Necklace :: While the colors of mint, coral, or turquoise fade after August, this bright will prevail and brighten up all autumnal shades. Find yours here, here, and here

Lately (April Edition)

Here I go again, declaring another "monthly feature," but this one is here to stay! Wanna know how I know? Because I buy something - whether that be a scarf with a gift card or a too expensive yet so flattering swimsuit (because I forgot mine when I went to Tampa) - every month. Therefore, there will always be some item (ahem, items), that I've bought lately that make me neglect my budget and buy more hangers.
