Fall Fashion Find of the Day

We are all jazzed about boot season - no denying that. However, I'm equally as jazzed about these booties. These heeled boots are the ultimate fall transition piece and I need them on my feet...like yesterday. Find these precious babies here: www.topshop.com. 

Layer It On

Even in the summer, I'm a huge fan of layering. It spices up plain sweaters, button-ups, t-shirts, etc. It's the perfect way to make a piece you wear all the time look completely new and different. I love this chambray shirt and honestly, I probably wear it too often. This striped t-shirt (Target - little girl's section...seriously) has some details of it's own but takes on a whole new life over the denim. I paired these layered tops with these fun watermelon Gap trousers, Target nude patent leather flats, a sock bun and this polka dot makeup bag-turned-clutch from Forever 21. 

Can't Touch This

I'm all about funky pants. The closer they are to something MC Hammer would wear, the more I'm likely to wear them. I'm not sure what it is that I like about high-waisted pants so much. Is it that they are usually stretchy so when I pig out at lunch, my belly is hidden? Is it that I'm just all too attracted to anything that slightly resembles something a 70-year-old would wear? Either way, you better believe when I'm prancing around in these bad boys (from Target), "Can't Touch This" is on repeat in my head.

L.O.V.E.

LOVING this new LOVE ring from Francesca's. In addition, another new fave are these mid rings I found at Francesca's also. If you know me, you know I'm hopeless romantic so I adore all things "love". Added bonus...it's blingy!

Sneaks are Chic

Absolutely raving about sneakers with dresses and skirts right now. It's just...maj. So, I've taken an outfit I wore with red patent flats and decided you show three different fun sneaks that you could rock. Plus, I've been looking for excuses and reasons to wear these shoes. In the top photo, you'll see my teal Ked-like kicks that are so fun to wear in the summer. Love these with the white skirt - such a fun contrast. Find them in numerous colors from Vans, Keds or even Target (around $15). In the middle photo, I've paired the denim shirt and white high-waisted skirt with Jack Purcell sneaks (a little punky factor with the no-laces look). I've only worn these one (to a movie night - so doesn't even count in my head) so I'm pumped to have a new style to wear these with. The bottom photo shows you the outfit with some hightop dark teal shoes from Urban Outfitters. The point is....time to try out this trend. It's like pairing a leather jacket with a super feminine dress...unexpected but it works.

Fun & Flirty Floral

Best news ever...floral is in and in a major way. This is big deal for me considering I think "granny floral" is heaven-sent. Enjoy this fun, flirty and feminine floral trend...I know I will. Keep the rest of your outfits (shoes and accessories) more simple. Clockwise, starting top right: Full Tilt Floral Fitted Crop Top (only $17!), Louche Elli Flower Dress, Michael Kors Maxi Dress, Purple Button Bralet, Fifties Oriental Bloom Silk Print Dress

Spikes & Such

Spikes are everywhere. They are on my blazers, they are on my smoking slippers, they are on my jewelry. A belt with spikes AND a bow? Whoa. Totally speaking my language. Find this belt at Zara. Place at the small of your waist over a dress...the perfect way to broadcast such a fabulous accessory. 

Saying Yes to Suspenders

I've always been a fan of men in suspenders but I've recently decided that I'm all for women in them, also. Keep them feminine chic with florals and lace or rock the masculine look with trousers and a button up top. Head to Pinterest for great ideas on how to make DIY suspenders or check out Etsy or Amazon for ones already made. Not quite sure about this look? Try them with one of your favorite pieces and keep them simple (perhaps and all black and white outfit).
