Fall into Fashion

It is my favorite time of year again... FALL!! It is my favorite for a few reasons: 1) Beautiful East Coast foliage, seriously amazing 2) The weather is much less daunting than the 90+ degree humid nastiness 3) I get to break out my scarves, sweaters and boots!

There is almost nothing I love more (fashion wise) than an adorable dress with a pair of tights and high cognac boots with a cardi and scarf all wrapped up into a delightful Fall treat of an outfit! Cozy and cute is key. Get a cute knee length (3/4) coat so you are still looking fashionable. I will admit, I once sported the North Face waist length jacket over an adorable outfit with my boyfriend cardi hanging out the bottom of the jacket. Not okay. Invest in a 3/4 length coat, you will thank me:) I got one last year on super sale at Target for $35! It can be done my friends!

Wrap that neck up with a neutral scarf (if you are wearing an overly colorful outfit) or an awesomely detailed or colorful scarf (if you are wearing a delightfully cute and practical neutral outfit). Remember that accessories can make or break your outfit, so rock that scarf!!

Fall is such a great transition fashion period. Enjoy it and experiment with your fashion!!

Friday Favorites!!

Can't believe it's Friday, again! I know I really should not be surprised everytime it comes around, but I am, haha. On to my favorites!

I am on a mission for bargains. My sister, Kim, is an AMAZING thrifter. I mean, amazing. She also dominates at being crafty! She has found the most ridiculously awesome items are her local thrift stores in Alaska and now I want to thrift. So, that is what I will try.



Kim made me that scarf I am wearing above for my birthday last month. I am obsessed with tribal print right now, so of course it is an infinity tribal print scarf! Love!! I think I may be going a little overload with the tribal... is that possible? I have shoes, scarves, bags and sweaters all tribal print. This is a trend, but I do not want this trend to disappear quite yet! Stay tribal!




My best find this week was this foot stool/cushion from Target (as seen above). Originally $30, I got it on super sale and $7.50. Yowza!!! I would call that a steal! Now to just get a cute chair that matches... Here is where thrifting will come in handy...

I am headed out of town for the weekend! Enojoy !

Friday Fravorites!






Wouldn't you just LOVE to be in this VW Bug right now!?! I kow I would. I mean, can you get any cuter? Nope. This is pretty much what my week felt like, beautiful sunny days, feeling carefree...

This week included zero shopping (that is a first!) and lots of running, cooking and staying home organizing. I feel like I am constantly trying to get organized. I think my problem is I just need more space in my little apartment. More space to store stuff besides under my bed in tubs that are not so cute and organized. I am sure I can figure out a way to make this work, I just need a plan. Time to re-vamp! It is Fall!

Fashion... I have a major addiction for workout clothes lately, as I am working out like a banchy and loving every minute of it! There is nothing like buying a new workout outfit (or even a new sports bra, haha) to motivate you to continue to dominate and reach your fitness goals! I also just bought some wrist sweaat bands. Yep, you read that right! Got to be prepared:) I also bought some awesome compression capris from Old navy that are the BEST for running! I seriously love them and they are only $22! Score.

Where did this week go? I mean, really, it just flew right by, not that I am complaining. I guess that's what happens when you are busy enjoying life and pushing though:) Happy Weekend!
