Fabulous Finds

October 10, 2014

1. The coziest looking sweater from H&M.
2. Apparently I'm having a loafer moment. Love this whimsical pair from Nordstrom
3. This Celine look-a-like is only $32 from Forever 21
4. Cozy boot socks from J. Crew
5. The cutest plaid purse from Kate Spade Saturday
6. More loafers from Steve Madden. Can't go wrong with leopard!

Hello and happy Friday! We made it through the week! This weekend is going to be a little crazy. My friends and I are going to the Zombie Pub Crawl for the first time. It's pretty much exactly what it sounds like: dress up like a zombie and go drink at bars. Apparently 30,000 tickets were sold though, so it's going to be insanity! Maybe I'll post pictures of my zombie look on Monday ;)

Dressing for Fall in the Heat

October 8, 2014







Top: J. Crew Factory. Skirt: Banana Republic (similar). Loafers: Target (similar). Purse: Forever 21. Sunglasses: RayBan. Necklace: Loft outlet (similar). 

I wore this outfit a few weeks ago (back when it was 80 degrees) to peruse the Parade of Homes with my mom. We go pretty much every year to look at the most expensive houses and drool over how lovely and picturesque they are. Despite the heat that day, I was adamant to wear fall colors and textures. So I did just that, minus the layers and heavy fabrics. 

Hope your week is going well!

Striped Turtleneck

October 6, 2014











Turtleneck: J. Crew (size down). Jacket: Old Navy. Faux leather pants: Club Monaco (similar). Boots: Sam Edelman. Purse: Topshop (similar). Necklace: BaubleBar (similar). 

I wore this outfit to a blogger/instagrammer get together that Nora and Megan hosted over the weekend. That's one of my absolute favorite things about blogging, being able to meet other like-minded people. 

This weekend was very laid back. I did a little shopping, saw The Skeleton Twins (depressing), baked pumpkin bars, and tried some new bar/restaurants with my sister. I have a midterm every week for the next three weeks, so I probably won't have very many relaxing weekends in the near future!
