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. 

Silk Hem Top

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.

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.

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!

A New Day Collection at Target

I love Target clothing because it is such affordable good quality clothing. This is such a great line for basics, they have so many tops that are perfect for layering but also look so cute on their own. This line also has so many different tops that are perfect for spring. These are a few of my favorite tops from the collection:

1. Long sleeve cold shoulder shirt | 2. Tie long sleeve shirt | 3. A New Day graphic tee | 4. Long sleeve front tie top | 5. Floral short sleeve blouse 6. 3/4 boatneck button tee

All of these items work really well for the transition into spring. This spring I need to focus on getting more tops that can go with pants other than jeans. Like this top, I love it paired with the olive green or this top with the light pink pants both are so cute. 

J Crew Teddie Sweater

Can you actually believe that I put up an outfit post today?? The last outfit post I put up was this one at the beginning of December. Honestly, it has been so cold here that I knew for me my pictures wouldn't come out the way I wanted them to so I held off for a little but we are back now and I have some pretty cute outfits to come in the future. 

Sweater: J Crew | Jeans: Banana Republic (Cheaper on Banana Republic factory) | Shoes: Target | Bag: Kate Spade

 For my first outfit back I am coming to you in a J Crew Teddie Sweater and if you don't own one of these you need to go out and get one. There are so many different ways to wear these that they are so worth it and they come in so many different colors. I have been thinking about doing a post that focuses on one item and shows three or four different ways to wear it. This teddie would be my first item so if that's something you want to see in the future let me know in the comments below!

Kyle bought me this Kate Spade bag for Christmas and I am obsessed with it, there are compartments on the sides and then a middle part which makes for so much room. Speaking of Kyle did you read his Valentine's day gift guide for him post from Friday? I always think his posts are hysterical to read. If you haven't read it you need to go look at it and there are some really good gift ideas in there.

Last Days of Summer

Top: Hollister | Shorts: JCrew Factory | Sandals: Jack Rogers | Choker: Rockbox 

Happy Monday! This weekend was spent mostly on the couch because I did not feel good at all. This weather going from cold to hot cold to hot is killing my sinuses and I contracted an awful cold from my brother. So if I look a little puffy in these photos it's because I literally forced myself to take these pictures and then went right back to the couch when I was done.

This week is going to be so long, school is already so stressful and I had to drop 80$ on a new charger yesterday because mine broke in the middle of a quiz. But thankfully everything seems to be falling back into place and hopefully, this week won't be as stressful as this weekend.

So as I said this past week and this upcoming week in New York is going to be hotter than the entire month of August, but it is still that weird time when it is freezing in the morning and then you're sweating bullets by the afternoon. That's when I love outfits like this for the perfect combination. This top is super lightweight and makes it perfect for those transitional days. Also how cute is this choker?!? I love how simple it is but still really makes a statement, I'm tellin ya this rocksbox subscription is killing the game!

Corduroy Skirt

Skirts are not something that I wear often because I tend to find it hard to find tops to pair them with but I am determined to become an expert in this because I really love the look of skirts. I love this outfit as a transition outfit because these days in New York in the morning it is like 50 degrees and by noon it is 80 degrees. It would be so easy to just throw on a cardigan to warm up this outfit. 

I am drinking a pumpkin spice latte from Dunkin Donuts and it is going to be my obsession this fall. I also love their cold apple cider, it tastes different than original apple cider it tastes more like apple pie but it is so delicious.
