A Classic Combo

in ,

Hello, friends and happy Friday Eve! One of my favorite colors to wear in the fall is anything tan or camel. As soon as fall hits, I immediately want to start wearing it! Black, tan, and white are one of those classic color combinations you can never go wrong with. Especially when you sprinkle in leopard prints for a pop of fun. Leopard is such a staple for fall. I fell in love with the dreamy romantic vibes this turtleneck sweater has. The sleeves are sheer with little Swiss dots on them. The sweater is lightweight and completely cozy. Truly a statement maker in a classic way. This skirt has 70s vibes with patch pockets and buttons down the front. The skirt does run big so I would size down one size for the best fit.

Romance In The City

in ,

Good morning all! As you may or may not know, Chicwish is one of my favorite sites to find on trend pieces with amazing detail and a great price point. My favorites from there have always been the dresses and skirts, but that should be no surprise, haha. This dress runs true to size. I'm wearing an XS for reference. The floral embroidery is so pretty and the trimming has little pom poms, which are the cutest. I typically hesitate with maxi styles, but this dress fit my 5'2 frame without dragging on the ground which is definitely a win! Speaking of my height, maxi styles give the illusion of height too. I'm always on the lookout for little tips and tricks to look taller =)

Hello Fall

Hello, friends and happy Friday and fall! My favorite season of the year is finally and officially here. I have so many warm and happy memories during this time of the year. Speaking for the blog, it's a time when fashion gets inspiring, interesting, and cozy. All of the "basic girl" things I love and I am not afraid to admit that, haha! Pumpkin spice latte's, wearing cozy sweaters and riding boots, apple picking, hay rides, pumpkin picking, bon fires and making smores', the warm smell of baking cookies, the smell of cinnamon, leaf rides, and all of the fall candles from Bath and Body Works. Trust me, they have the best candles! Personally, I was married in the fall as were my parents and my grandparents. It's a time when school was getting into the swing of things and the excitement of "new horizons" was very real. One of the best times of the year!

This outfit is a favorite of mine that I recently wore. I love the mix of burgundy, blush, and cream colors. The light layering with the blazer is fabulous for those cool mornings and evenings. Almost everything I'm wearing is something that I already owned too, which is great. I love to "shop my closet" and re-mix outfits that I've previously worn. I could also see this outfit being re-mixed to wearing dark blue skinny jeans and tall cognac boots for a weekend style!

The Suede Jacket // Easy Transition

in ,

Suede Jacket || Similar White Dress || Tan Wrap Sandals || Sunglasses || Tignanello Bag c/o || Jackie Kennedy Cascade Ring || Similar Star Earrings ||

Hello, all! One of my favorite pieces to wear is a white dress. I know the old saying of not wearing white after Labor Day, but I personally think that is quite silly. Some of my favorite fall looks have white pieces in them! Transitioning my summer dresses over to fall, especially my white ones, are made easy with a suede moto jacket. Suede is huge for fall and this tan one pairs well with soooo many items. Cognac colors are my go-to for fall. Love love love them! This suede jacket fits true to size for reference.

We've been having some SPECTACULAR weather here lately! This whole week is supposed to be nice so I've been making sure to get out as much as possible. I'm also getting excited for some of my favorite shows to start their premieres. So many things to love about fall, haha.

Hello Moto

Leather Jacket || Polka Dot Ruffle Top || Paige Black Skinny Jeans || Tan Suede Pumps || Sunglasses || Jackie Kennedy Cascade Ring || Tignanello Tan Bag c/o ||

Hello, friends and happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend! I had a wonderful time visiting with family and enjoying some r&r in picturesque Lancaster. It's always so peaceful there and brings back many beautiful memories from my childhood. I was even able to pick up some mums and a giant pumpkin. Looks like fall is in full swing!

There's something very "cool girl" about the leather moto jacket. Throughout the decades, the leather jacket has always had the essence of cool. Think about Fonzy in Happy Days. I wanted to sweeten the look up with my polka dot blouse, while still keeping an edge to the outfit. I love the gold hardware on the jacket too. Typically you see silver, but gold feels extra special. How amazing is this tan leather bag too?! It's so roomy to fit all of my everyday essentials in it. Plus, I love how it can transition through all of the seasons.

Farewell Summer....

Hello, all! While there are technically still some days left in summer, the weather is starting to slowly change over. I have to say, the weather in NEPA has been all over the place lately, what's new though lol. The end of August and beginning of September were particularly chilly and felt like October. The past few days have actually felt like they should, which definitely put a smile on my face. I still enjoy those warm and sunny afternoons! In any case, I'm wrapping up my outfits that are purely summer influenced and saying a fond farewell to summer 2017. I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Prep In My Step

White Tie Front Shirt || Gingham Skirt c/o || Similar Leopard Loafers || Similar Tory Burch Swingpack || Sunglasses || Similar Belt || Jackie Kennedy Cascade Ring ||

Hello all and happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a great weekend! I took Ava to our county fair and had the best time. The weather was gorgeous with sunshine, blue skies, and temperatures in the mid 70s. I remember going to the fair as a child myself and all throughout high school. I have to say my favorite part was always the food and it still is, haha! Also, I'm so thankful that all of my friends and family in Florida are doing alright and weathered hurricane Irma without any harm or injuries.

This gingham skirt is soooo beautiful and the perfect amount of flare to it. I love the vibrant blue color. It also has pockets, which if you've read this blog for a while then you know I'm obsessed with dresses and skirts that have pockets! I wanted this outfit to have a preppy feel to it while also including elements of both summer and fall. It's only $15 and fits true to size. I love pieces like this that seamlessly work in both summer and fall. Plus, it's a staple item that will never go out of style. Gingham prints are absolutely a classic as well as the fit and flare style.

Sweater Weather

As soon as the temps drop, I'm in a constant state of being chilled and trust me, in NEPA the temps have DROPPED. Haha, no joke. For this in-between weather I love a cozy cardigan to keep me warm and allow me to still wear some of my favorite summer pieces. This dusty rose cardigan from Chicwish is the perfect mix of a sweater and jacket rolled into one. It has an open front with wide lapels and folded cuffs. I love the fit. Its not too tight or baggy. I paired the cardigan with my favorite tee to wear from summer (also in a pink shade) and these velvet flats that are beautiful for fall. They have the cutest little bow on them too! Anything velvet has been catching my eye lately. I'm wearing a S/M in the cardigan and its under $40! Such a steal for a staple piece that you'll be wearing all the time.

I'll always be a girl who falls head over heels in love with a dress. The femininity and romance a dress can evoke always gets me, especially when one has all the charm of a vintage style! This rose print dress has a 1960's feel to it and the quint essential fit and flare style. Chichwish has the best "prom" style dresses. Every time I wear this style, I always get sooooo many compliments. They truly are eye catching and ever so chic. I always feel the most like myself when wearing dresses like this. would wear one everyday if I could! This fits true to size (wearing a size small) and is under $53. The afternoons are still warm making it a great to continue to wear your favorite dresses.

Good morning, friends! I can hardly believe that it is September already! Speaking of, I hope everyone enjoyed their Labor Day holiday. I actually had my first PSL of the season yesterday and it was so delicious. While I'm sad to see summer dwindling down, I'm also getting excited for all of the fall activities we have planned. Fall is always an extremely busy time of the year for us. As you know, we've been experiencing some early fall weather, which means cozy cardigans and sweaters! This navy blue cardigan with bright white stars on it from Chicwish is fun and unique all while keeping you warm. It reminds me of the night sky too, which is awesome. I've always been fascinated by the stars and the moon. It has an oversized fit (I'm wearing a S/M)and costs under $55. The star cardigan evokes a bit of magic to any outfit its paired with!
