My Fall Wishlist

Button Collar pullover | Wide Brim Hat | Teddy Bear Vest | Laser Cut Out Booties | Something Navy V-neck Sweater | Cheetah Belt | Colorblock Cardigan | Utility Rain Jacket | Tunic Dress V-Neck

I can’t believe I am writing my fall wishlist out and I have a dress on covered in pineapples! It’s officially the season in New York when you need your heat on in the mornings and your air conditioning on in the afternoon. It’s also the time of year when your car gets this annoying fog all over the windows which makes it hard to see with the sun.... okay I’ll get off my soap box now!

So these are a bunch of my favorite items that I have picked out for the fall! I am loving this color blocked cardigan but it is a little on the pricey side so I found so many different dupes that are way more affordable and cuter. This one is from target and has more of berry tones but comes in other colors as well. I also found this super cute one from Amazon which is more similar colors to the Madewell one.

All of these picks are so cute and make me so excited for fall!

Almost Apple Season

I can't even believe how fast this summer went by and that I am already writing even a transitional type fall post. I am always ready for fall to turn to winter and winter to turn to spring but I am NEVER ready for summer to turn to fall (even though I do love fall). But the apple season does make the transition a little easier.

I am calling this a transitional outfit because it would be so cute to throw a cardigan on with for the colder fall months. I love shirts that work for both seasons when it's fall in the morning and the dead of summer by the middle of the day so you can take the cardigan off and not sweat to death. 

I also brought these amazing jeans back to the blog today because I love them so much I have to keep showing them off. These are the rockstar raw hem jeans from Old Navy and I find them to be so comfortable. Like if they didn't have a button I would qualify them as a step below leggings. 

Flower Power in the Fall

JCrew: Flower Vest | JCrew: Teddie Sweater | Gap: Jeans | Target: Flats | Vince Commuto: Luck Tote

I have a serious thing for J.Crew vests in the fall months and this may or may not be one of the many J.Crew vests that you see even within this month. I picked this one up the other week and I fell in love with it because it can go with so many different outfit combinations as well as different seasons. I knew I had to get this one when the manager told me they had it in the store for less than 24 hours and this was the last one they had (or at least that's how I justified myself to buy it).

Tomorrow is my mom's birthday so today I will be spending my day baking and decorating a cake! It's a surprise what type of cake it is for her but maybe on Friday, I will share what it was! Monday's post was all about what we did this past weekend for moms birthday, check it out here.

This Vince Camuto luck tote was part of the 2018 fall fabfitfun box. This bag retails for $128 and the fabfitfun box is only $50. This is why I love the fabfitfun box, the items are such a good quality and the retail value of the box is so high that it makes it so worth the price of the actual box.

Halloween Decor Inspo

It's that time of year when the pumpkins start to appear on the front steps of houses and apple and pumpkin pie candles fill the stores. I love this time of year when the house feels extra cozy because of all the decor that is brought out. Today I'm showing off some of my favorite fall decor that will make any house ready for Halloween!!

Casual Work Attire

Old Navy: Popover Shirt | Old Navy: Rockstar Pants | Michael Kors: Remi Pom Pom Flats | Longchamp: Le Pliage bag

I know that for me, trying to figure out outfits for work can be stressful and I always seem to hit a wall when trying to figure out what to wear. Army green pants are one of my favorite items to wear in the fall time, there are endless outfit possibilities. These pants are the rockstar pant from Old Navy and they are so comfortable. I bought this in store but I really need to start buying the petite versions which are sold online so they don't bunch at the bottom.

I'm also bringing back a classic in today's blog post, the Le Pliage Longchamp bag. I think that the small version of this bag is the perfect work bag because it can hold so much in it. I also have the medium one which I used to use for work and it would fit my lunchbox and then some perfectly. The Longchamp Le Pliage is a timeless bag which is a basic necessity in your closet. This is hands down my favorite bag I own. 

Do you guys call the color of these jeans army green or olive green?? I've always wondered about that!

 

Silk Hem Top

J.Crew: Long Sleeve Top with Silky Hem | Gap: Rockaway wash Jeans | J.Crew: Sawyer Suede Boots | Sugarfix: Druzy Necklace | Ray-Bans: Clubmasters | Amazon: Faux leather watch band

As you may have seen from Monday's post, J.Crew is the only store I've really been shopping at lately (I need to branch out more). J.Crew just has the best clothing pieces for any occasion, they have dresses, tops, and bottoms for work or casual. Right now I am more casual in my style and J.Crew is where I go for all my basic needs! I talked about these boots in Mondays post, (LINK) about how they continue to be my favorite fall shoe year after year. I love that it is that time of year when you can wear long sleeves and booties but not have to wear a jacket. I am so ready for fall.

J.Crew Factory Fall Wishlist

I have always been a fan of J.Crew, especially the factory stores because it is good quality clothing without breaking the bank. Lately, I have become more and more obsessed with this store then I have ever been. Maybe it's due to the mercantile store that opened within the past couple of years in our mall or because the clothes are super cute this season. Regardless I am loving everything J.Crew and I have compiled some of the items that will most likely be purchased in the future.

1. Tiered Chambray Dress - I fell in love with the ruffle chambray dress that I purchased from J.Crew over the summer so I was super excited to see this one that was more appropriate for the fall. I love dresses that transition perfectly into different seasons and this one is perfect for that. 

2. Open-Front Sweater Blazer - I already have this sweater blazer in tan from last fall, I love it so much that I'm seriously considering getting it in grey. It is heavier than a cardigan but lighter than a jacket. I believe that it's a perfect balance to make it work as either a jacket or a cardigan. 

3. Teddie Sweater - The teddie sweater is a reoccurring favorite of mine, it is a must-have staple in your closet which looks good alone but also pairs perfectly with vests and light jackets. The teddie sweater comes in a bunch of different colors (I may end up with one in every color that's how much I love them). 

4. Mini Skirt in Corduroy - To be honest skirts are not something that I gravitate towards but I do love that corduroy is making a comeback. This skirt is definitely high on my wishlist and I can see so many future outfits that include this piece. 

5. Ruffle Neck Pullover - I love simple tops that have a little extra something to make them look like you put together an outfit without actually trying. This is the perfect top for that due to the cute ruffle that peeks through the neckline and the bottom of the sleeves. 

6. Off the shoulder bow top - This top is perfect for going out to drinks with the girls or to a date night. I find it to be really hard to find outfits that are cute and practical for going out at night in the colder months. This off the shoulder top is the perfect going out top of fall and winter. 

7. No-show socks - I have talked about my no-show sock obsession but only the ones from J.Crew. Honestly, the last thing I need is another pair of J.Crew no-show socks, but these have pumpkins on them so really how can I pass them up?? Right now they are also on sale 3 for 12$ which is a good deal!

8. Ruffle Front Top - I find it's always good to have a few professional pieces in your closet in case a time comes up when one is needed. Or maybe you need to be professional in your everyday life, this top I feel is a perfect workday shirt.

9. Resin-coated Twill Jacket - Someone needs to stop me from buying outerwear but I have a very good feeling that this jacket will become mine this fall season. I've had my eye on a jacket like this for a while and it might be time to be added to my closet. 

10. Side-tie T-shirt - I love basics from J.Crew, with my job I have to wear casual clothing because getting stuff (children mess) on me is something that is most likely going to happen so I love to wear basics that can easily be cleaned. 

11. Sawyer Suede boots - I have talked about the camel colored Sawyer boots that J.Crew has multiple times on my blog before. Now I am considering getting another pair in black due to how much I wear that camel ones. They are such a comfortable boot and pair so well with so many different outfits that I feel it is worth it to get another pair. 

Healthy Eating and Good Pants

If there are two things that I love in life it is healthy food that actually tastes good and a piece of clothing that you feel great in. I am happy to bring to you today both of those things, Acai bowls and linen Jcrew pants may be my two favorites of August.

Shirt: Express (similar) | Pants: JCrew | Bag: Amazon (similar) | Shoes: Jack Rogers | Necklace: Dogeared | Sunglasses: Ray Bans | Bracelet: Kendra Scott (Similar) 

Have you ever bought something and thought: "I am going to be brave but I really don't know about this". That's exactly how I felt when buying these linen pants. But it turned out to be the best decision that I have made and I am now completely obsessed with these pants. I literally wear these pants in so many different situations, I wore them recently to the movies because they are so comfortable. I like to roll them up and wear them with sandals but they could easily be rolled down and transitioned into the fall. I keep checking every Jcrew Factory store trying to find more but they are all sold out because of how amazing these pants are.

So I have finally tried an Acai bowl and I can not believe it has taken me this long to actually try one. I feel like I am always craving one lately and where I live the place to get them is like 30 minutes away (first world struggles). The mix of peanut butter with granola and the acai is just so refreshing but delicious at the same time. If you haven't had one before I highly recommend them!

Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas

Happy Monday my friends, this weekend flew by but I was able to have some downtime and relax which was much needed. But this week is already off to a running start so I'm going to take this time and fantasize about how much food I'm going to eat on turkey day next week and think about which outfit will be best to wear so I can stuff myself. 

Outfit: Top: rollneck sweater | Skirt: ruffle wool mini skirt | Shoes: velvet loafer mules | necklace: ribbon tied pearls

This skirt is perfect for the holiday season and paired with these mules is such a statement. I love how bright and loud these shoes are which will dress up any outfit. 

Top: balloon sleeve choker top | Jeans: toothpick in classic wash | Shoes: velvet pumps | Bracelet: Elaina bracelet | clutch: Glitter wristlet

I love a more casual outfit with some accessories to dress the outfit up, these heels are perfect for the holiday season and would pair so well with any of these three outfits. 

Dress: something navy sweater dress | vest: quilted down vest | booties: suede booties | Bag: flap bag

I have a vest obsession and also a suede bootie obsession and okay maybe I have a sweater dress obsession as well. Needless to say, I love this outfit if I could describe my style this outfit would probably do it justice. This satchel is also so cute and versatile it would go with anything. 

Fabfitfun Fall box!

My fall fabfitfun box finally came in and I am so in love with it. This is my second box and I can say that I am officially hooked on this seasonal subscription. This month had so many cute items in it I am obsessed with all of them.

This fall box does not disappoint it is filled with so many useful goodies. My favorite items would have to be the gym bag, the charcoal mask, and the red lipstick. The thing I love the most about the fabfitfun box is that it is stuff that people will really use.

Let me know if you got your fabfitfun box!
