{five for fall}
Over the past few years, I've come to realize that I love living in the Midwest because you get to experience the changes of all the seasons. That being said, fall is probably my favorite season, not because of pumpkin everything (which I get so excited about that I have a tendency to over-do it...therefor I'm so over pumpkin before the season is even halfway through) but also because of the cute (not so scary but sparkly) Halloween décor. So, aside from the majority of America's favorite thing about fall (pumpkin, in case you didn't catch on there and that creepy Zombie kick that I never really caught on to), here's a list of my five fall favorites.
1. OPI Russian Navy. Ohhhh, beautiful Russian Navy. I get so pumped EVERY year to bust this sucker out. I love the dark goth look it gives without being overly dark and gothy. I almost shed a tear last spring when I had to pack my bottle away (but insisted on using it as an accent nail color well in to spring).
2. Candy Corn. Yes, I said it. Let out an "eww" if you must. I know not everyone are candy corn fans and I can barely get through one bag a season. Also, I'm not able to eat a bunch without getting a stomach ache which sorta makes it in to one of those love-hate kind of relationships...but yep, I look forward to candy corn every year...and it looks oh-so-cute at fall festivities and holiday parties.
3. Sweater Weather. Given. Throwing on a baggy sweater with skinny jeans or leggings (or shorts when the temps require), my favorite go to look.
4. Fur Vests. Oh, my beloved fur vest (which actually resembles my dog. A lot...but don't worry, it's faux), I love wearing it with everything. Tank tops and maxis when it's still "fall" here but too warm to wear long sleeves and normal fall attire, layering it over sweaters or flannel during the day, at night it just gives that fun oomph, glam and classy look AND they keep you warm. WIN-WIN situation right there. I seriously don't know what I did before it...The possibilities of how to wear a fur vest are actually quite endless and easier to pull off than you might think. Don't already have a fur vest? Well, go get you one, girl. You can thank me later.
5. Fall Colors. Leaves Changing. I presume this is pretty self-explanatory.

Candy corn, peanuts and chocolate covered pretzels, if you wish.
So easy and totes cute for the season (even if it doesn't get eaten)

Concert Style
I love, love music and have high hopes of attending Coachella within the next few years. If I were going to Coachella this year, my wardrobe would appear something like these...but these outfits would be absolutely perfect for any concert or festival for that matter.

Be Bold
A look this self-proclaimed accessory junkie is loving right now: MAJOR statement necklaces…seriously. Whether it’s shopping with the girlfriends, weekend brunch, typical work day, or a date night out, you can’t go wrong by simply adding oomph to that outfit with a bold neckpiece. It is possible to make these pieces work for casual-chic every day wear or glitzy-glammed up nights and I’m about to show you how.
Adorn a chunky sweater, tee, faux fur, or button down, leggings and your favorite boots with a chunky piece of your choice. Perfect for cold day errand running or cozying up by the fire.
If layering is your thing, choose the peek-a-boo style with your button down and sweatshirt...
or simply throw on a pretty necklace with a fitted tee for a "I want to be comfy but still look glamorous or adorable" style status. This emerald/white combo is to die for (not to mention emerald is Pantone's 2013 color of the year...YAY!)
Just because the piece is bold doesn't mean your top needs to be. If you're a skeptic about mixing too much, aim for one color in each piece to be the same or similar...or just go with leopard print, you can seriously pair any color with it and look great!
