warming up.

Well I thought I was going to spend the weekend cuddling up with G on the sofa, but apparently the weather had other ideas.  It literally went from scarf wearing weather to me busting out my sandals in a matter of 24 hours.  The rising temperatures meant more time outside which was a nice little treat.  It also meant more time to wear my tie dye maxi dress.  It's quickly become one of my faves.

fall into comfort.

Fall has officially arrived and I couldn't be happier.  I'm so ready to pull on my sweaters and cozy up with G.  This girl's look is comfy and stylish all at the same time.  I'd love to recreate her look, but in all honestly I'd pair my sweater with a heavy knit maxi skirt.  Hmmmm, I think I might need this adorable Zara sweater. I'm loving it's faux leather detail!  Here's to a comfortable yet chic fall season.

the booties.

I kind of couldn't stop talking about these booties on instagram this weekend and here I am again still yapping about them.  Ha!  But I can't help it, they seriously have become my new fave.  I wore them with this free people dress to lunch with family.  Then changed into a sequins dress and sweater for a movie night with G.  And lastly wore them with this Mara Hoffman amazingness and jeans for a brewery tour.  Thank you Target for making a pair of fall booties that I can't get enough of!

hats.

Are you hat person?  I'm not, but after seeing these girls I think I might need to channel this look.  Wow, so chic!  I adore how it adds a stylish pop to even the most simple of outfits.

pale nails.

I'm normally pretty routine when it comes to manicures.  Firstly, my nails must be super super super short.  I don't know why, but for me the shorter = the better.  I also usually just do them at home (I've kind of got it down to a science now).  And of course I totally have my favorite colors.  I usually go with pinks (essie "pansy" or sinful colors "pink forever") and lavender (opi "lucky lucky lavender" is my all-time go to).  I know there are all sorts of crazy cool manicure choices out there these days and I really do love them, but for day-to-day, I tend to lean towards more simple nails.  I decided to try out a more neutral nail this past week and kind of fell in love with revlon "powder puff" matte suede all over again.  I hadn't worn it in years, but as soon as I put it on I was hooked.  Now, I'm not going to lie, this color is not so easy to do on yourself.  It is so pale that I had to do like 3 to 4 layers (I usually just do 2 layers and no top coat).  The finish really is super matte, so the second time I applied the polish I added a top coat to give it a little more shine.  I'm kind of loving this new look.
