For the Love of Fashion

 

 

 

 

 

 

|| Skirt: Gucci || Crop Top: Urban Outfitters || Bag: Kate Spade || Heels: Grey: Peep Toe ||

 

Crop tops and minis, channeling my inner "Clueless." I adore this crisp, polished look. These Sam & Libby heels are from Target and are one of my most comfortable pairs of heels!  They are perfect for a busy work day when you are on your feet, oh and are under $40!! #TargetNeverFails This Gucci skirt (that goes with everything) and Kate Spade tote are great steals from Israelle's Upscale Consignment!!! The Kate Spade tote is sold out but there is a fabulous black Tory Burch tote still available! I can't get enough of Israelle's Upscale Consignment! You can consign your own items and shop all at the same place, so simple and easy! Why wouldn't we share our love for fashion by consigning!? P.s. The customer service is excellent, very professional and prompt (always a plus)!

 

 Be sure to type "BRANDOM" when you are checking out so the lovely Israelle knows where you heard it first!

 

Cheers to consigning for the love of fashion and having the best at the best price!

Fashionably Late

|| Blazer || Similar Loft Jeans || Leopard Kicks || Bangles 1 & 2 || Tank ||

If you can't beat the heat, mine as well embrace it, right?? Here's to Winter being fashionably late!!!

This shoot was such a blast!! It reminded me of how much I truly enjoy doing this blog. I love sharing inspiration with you all.  What's on the inside counts more than anything and style is a way to express a little bit about ourselves. Life can be so stressful and weigh us down if we aren't careful.  It's so important to keep things lighthearted and remember to embrace life as much as possible.  Hope this fun post brought a smile to your Monday...there are some serious candids in here! haha

Fall colors with weather temperatures...I could live like this forever!! I adore this outfit too by the way, a little edge, a little cozy, and a little boho. Whether it's layering necklaces and bangles, tops and sweaters or full skirts and prints - I am into it! And fall is the perfect season to show that layering off! Ya know, before everything is covered up by our winter coats! Bluuhh (don't remind me) ...although I do love a good snow day...I  am not a fan of the bitter cold and in PA, it gets bitter cold.

Anyways, I am focusing on the positive- a wardrobe change! I included links below to some of my wish list sweaters for this season.

This time of the year I look for those rich earth tones, deep cool colors and timeless prints (gingham, plaid, animal print, herringbone, stripes, & polka dots). For fabrics I love cable knits, wool, tweed, and cashmere..to name a few.

Tory Burch- Plaid

 Anthropologie -Faux Fur-Trendy Piece

Halston Heritage - Knit

White + Warren - Leopard

LuLu's - Tan

Stay tuned for some more winter wardrobe wisdom & keep an eye out to see how I layer up in my posts to come!

Olive Juice

Cardigan || Dress: Similar || Boots || Necklace || Bangles: Similar 

Swooning over this outfit, it's the perfect transition to fall. There are so many military inspired pieces out right now. It is fun to soften them with an oversized sweater and some dainty details (while keeping you warm on the cool nights). These boots are an awesome statement and can be worn so many different ways (plus on sale NOW). I'm all about olive green and this mustard yellow this fall. Not to mention every time I think olive green, I think "olive juice," aka I love you. haha I hope this outfit inspires you when making your wardrobe transition into fall!!
