A little gold and a little sparkle...

My co worker gave me the cutest clutch ever! Actually, its not even a clutch its a bag that came with Victoria's Secret Angel's Gold spray, lotion and wash.  Let me just say that this fragrance smells so good! I love the scent. Anywho, I thought of using the bag as a makeup bag but its just too pretty. I think using it as a clutch is more fitting. 

I think it goes perfectly with my accessories today, don't you think? Hehe...

Ode to Chambray tops...

I absolutely love chambray tops! Actually I love chambray everything!  Recently I was organizing my closet and I noticed I have quite the collection of chambray tops. I guess it wasn't intentional but I definitely have a handful of shirts. At my school, we have to dress casual yet professional but I work with small children and you definitely want to be comfy. Chambray tops are so versatile, I wear them with shorts, jeans and colored pants. I think wearing them with colored pants are my favorite!

Below are a few if not many of the outfits I've put together wearing my chambray tops.

White after Labor Day...Yes Please!

I absolutely love white pants/jeans/jeggings! White definitely makes any outfit look classy and sometimes very nautical. When I was younger, I fell for that saying "Do Not Wear White after Labor Day." I never wore any of my white pants after the holiday but then had a hard time trying to figure out when I should wear white bottoms again. Honestly, I never understood why you CANT wear white after labor day. I mean I do get it is like a summer color but to me it can also be a great fall staple as well. Here are just some outfit ideas I put together, on how I would wear my white pants, jeans or jeggins in the fall.  

Tops:

J.Crew Popover (sold out), J.Crew Factory Classic button-down, Aeropostale Cable Knit-Popover Hoodie

Bottoms:

ANY WHITE PANTS/JEANS/JEGGINS will do 

Outerwear:

J.Crew Blazer, J.Crew Factory Puffer Vest (sold out), J.Crew Factory Herringbone Puffer Vest (sold out)

Shoes:

AEO Animal Pointed Toe Flats, Leather Boots, Factory Emery Flats (30% off)

Handbags:

Dooney & Bourke Bag (similar here), C.Wonder Tote (similar here), Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Bag

Fall Must-haves

  

I am so excited for fall. It is actually my favorite season! A mixture of warm and cool air is always great. These are just some of the items I think will go great with any fall wardrobe.

1. Chambray Shirt J.Crew (similar here) - Everyone should definitely get a chambray shirt for the fall. I think it is so versatile you can wear it with a skirt or jeans as well as under a sweater or cardigan. 

2. Printed scarf (similar here) - Definitely a fall essential. I love printer scarves. They look great with a blazer and a nice top. 

3. Moccasins (Minnetonka) - I love moccasins they're so comfy and great for the fall. I usually wear mine to work for casual Fridays or when I know I will be on my feet for a while. 

4. Pants (American Eagle Outfitters Cords) - The fall is my favorite time to wear cords! They feel so great when the weather is cool and you don't want to layer yourself up to keep warm. Last year I went crazy and bought a few pairs from American Eagle. And now with their Labor Day say I say everyone should try to snag one up. :) 

5. Bag: Coach (similar here) - I absolutely love cross body bags. I mostly use them in the fall only because I don't want to carry a big handbag along with my jacket and sweater. So a cross body bag is ideal for me. My vintage coach cross body bag is often on repeat during the fall. 

6. Sweater C.Wonder (similar here) - The animal sweaters are such a huge hit this season! From the hedgehog sweater Target has to the beautiful Scottie intarsia sweater C.Wonder makes. I think these will be around all Fall season long. I went and snagged the French hen sweater from J.Crew Factory for myself, currently on sale for $52.50. 

7. J.Crew Factory Quilted Puffer Vest in Herringbone (sold out) - I wish I could've gotten a hold on this sold out everywhere vest! At least I was able to get the navy blue one but only if I could have gotten this one. Oh well...I did hear a rumor that it will be back in stock again soon (keeping my fingers crossed!).

8. Pom-Pom Beanie - Fall wouldn't be the same without a beanie hat. Not only is it comfy but it's also so fashionable.

What are your fall favorites?

Back to School Attire

Hello lovelies! Next week I go back to work..boohoo! Eh its no biggie, I only work two days next week and its only for classroom preparations (phew). On Tuesday, I will definitely be wearing jeans and a t-shirt, especially since all we will be doing is setting up the classroom. In the meantime, I thought I would start planning my First day of School looks.

Top and Skirt: J.Crew Factory // Shoes: Tory Burch // Bag: Louis Vuitton Neverfull 

I love this outfit because it is so casual! The skirt is perfect for transitioning into fall and paired with a striped shirt is just perfect! This is actually my favorite LV bag! At the moment I don't own one but this one is one that I would love to have one day.

Dress: Xhilaration (On sale!) //Shoes: Jack Rogers //Bag: Michael Kors

I recently purchased this dress on the clearance rack for only $12.98! Not bad for a cute eyelet dress! I love it paired up with a small belt to create a even better look. 

Top: J.Crew // Pants: J.Crew Factory // Shoes: J.Crew // Bag: C.Wonder

I can not get enough of leopard print and for back to school, it is a definite must have! I just ordered a pair of leopard print flats from American Eagle Outfitters for only $20.97 after using my 40% discount code (74693461). I just love a great sale!

I am still unsure what I will wear for my First Day of school (September 10th) but I think these outfits gave me a little inspiration as to how to style the current clothes I have. Happy Reading everyone :)

Polka Dot ombré scarf  // Polka Dot Dress (Similar here) // Polka Dot Kate Spade Watch
Polka Dot collar sweater // Betsey Johnson "Pretty Polka Dot" // Zatchel Polka Dot Bag


I love love polka dots! They're just so adorable. For my birthday, I received a really cute polka dot peplum top (similar here) which I wore with a pair of skinny jeans. I feel you can't ever have too many polka dot items in your closet. The Katespade polkadot sneakers by Keds are definitely ones I want to get my hands on. Wouldn't they look great with a pair of skinny jeans or colored shorts? I guess I'll add the jeans and watch to my order. :) 

Which are your favorites? 

J.Crew Factory Hen Print

1. J.Crew factory (no longer available) 2. Factory Clare Cardigan in Hen 3. Factory Printed tissue scarf  4. Factory Printed Silk Blouse  5. Factory Warmspun intarsia hen sweater (available in Navy too)

Recently, I have seen these adorable hen prints all over the J.Crew Factory site. I just love them! J.Crew Factory has done it again with these. Much like the Merona Seahorse print shirt Target had, I think these will be seen everywhere and be just as famous.
