Florals

dress: Forever 21 | sweater: American Eagle | jacket: Hollister | boots: Nine West 

These photos were taken a while ago back on campus, but now I'm back in my hometown for the holidays. I'm finished up with finals, and just waiting to get my grades back. For the meantime I'm just enjoying the time with my family before I head back to school.

My Latest Obsession: Fur

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

Super obsessed with fur right now. I want jacket number 5 in my closet like yesterday. I also think a fur vest would be the perfect accessory right now. Plaid and fur just go hand in hand to me, and I'm low key obsessed.

Plaid Dress

dress: pacsun | sweater: hollister | boots: DSW

If you can't tell by the title of this post, I'm kind of obsessed with this dress. It's plaid, red, and very 90s. It's so me and I love it! There's this awesome leaf wall that I discovered on campus the other day, and this outfit was perfect for it. I also discovered those people things that I'm with in one of the last pictures. I think it's an art instillation of some sort.... I was very intrigued by it, and I think they're pretty cute. Also it wouldn't be fall without a pic of me sitting in leaves, so there ya go. I'll "leaf" on that note..

In Washington, October means it's full on fall, and scarves are a must. Walking to and from class, scarves are a perfect way to keep warm, and these fall picks are perfect for looking cute as well. My personal favorite is number 4, and I'm having such a hard time resisting putting it in my shopping cart. Happy Fall y'all!

Fall Style Roundup

October in Seattle means were in full on fall! I love the fall weather and everything it comes with. So here's some of my favorite fall styles courtesy of Pinterest! 

All Black: All black is so chic, and so easy to incorporate many textures to add interest. All black looks are so easy to put together, but if you NEED color, add a scarf or sweater! 

Socks with Sandals: Maybe this is just a look in the PNW, but I love wearing wool socks with my birkenstocks or open toed booties. It keeps your feet warm, and you get to continue wearing your favorite shoes into the fall and winter. The cuter the socks, the better!

Beanies: Beanies not only keep you warm, but add another layer to a fun look. Having these in multiple colors is an awesome way to amp up any outfit.

Oversized Sweaters: The easiest outfit formula in the fall is an oversized sweater and jeans or leggings with boots. I own a bazillion sweaters and wear them on repeat with a scarf and vest in the fall. So easy and so cute. 

Rings and more Rings: I love having a part of rings on my hands. They add a little touch to any outfit, and I love love the little touches people add to outfits to kick them up a notch. 

I hope these give you some fun ideas for fall! Bring on the sweaters, socks and warm drinks!

Fall Favorites: Leather

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

Leather is such a fall staple, and can be worn in so many ways. Leather jackets are always a classic, and if full leather isn't your thing, a leather sleeved jacket is an alternative, to still get that punch of leather. Leather leggings, can be worn dressed up or down, same with a leather skirt. My favorite is probably the leather shoulder patches. A little bit of leather on a cozy sweater gives it edge. I can't wait to wear my leather pieces this fall!

Lucky Brand Haul

Recently I was introduced to this brand, and absolutely love it. This brand is a little bit pricier but they were having an amazing sale, and I couldn't not stock up on basics. Here's what I bought.

I bought these 2 pairs of jeans, and this gorgeous red sweater. I featured the distressed jeans in my destroyed denim post. I wore them to the first day of classes, and they are a dream--super comfortable, and keep their shape. Currently wearing the gorgeous red sweater, so comfortable, I'll definitely be wearing it all season long. These are all perfect fall staples, and know they will got lots of wear all season.

Fall Favorites: Plaid

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

I live in flannels and plaid year round, but they are especially a staple for fall. Paired with a beanie, jeans, and a pair of combat boots is a perfect fall outfit, and especially a great one for college students. Put together, but casual and comfy. My collection of plaid shirts is growing, and a few on this list might be making their way into my closet very soon.

Fall Favorites: Destroyed Denim

1 | 2 | 3 | 4

For fall, I'm loving destroyed denim. Something about the grunge-y-ness of it all screams fall. Pair these jeans with moto boots, a slouchy sweater or flannel, and you have an awesome fall look. I just bought the first pair from Lucky Brand, and I'm so in love! Maybe they will make an appearance in an outfit post sometime soon. I'm making Fall Favorites a weekly thing throughout the end of October, so keep checking back in, for my fall staples.

5 ways to wear: Birkenstocks

One of the new trends that has popped up this spring is Birkenstocks. Some love them, some hate them. I personally love them. I got my pair in the mail about 2 weeks ago, and they haven't come off my feet yet! I've created 5 different looks to wear your birks with, they are really so versatile.

LOOK #1: GRUNGE

Birkenstocks

This first look is a little edgy. The black crop top could be easily switched out for a longer tank. Layering the tank with the flannel and the jacket, means this look is perfect for colder days in the spring and summer and even fall. This look can be worn to the grocery store, to class, or a nice picnic in the park. This look is perfect for an everyday outfit! The black birks are classic and go with everything, perfect for every day. 

LOOK #2: LAZY DAY

Birkenstocks

This second look also features the black birks. This classic neutral pair, paired with leggings and a slouchy sweater is perfect for a lazy day around the house doing chores, running errands, or class just like look #1. The lipstick can make the look a little fancier if you want to dress up leggings and a sweater. This is a look I would wear every day.

LOOK #3: BOHO

Birkenstocks

This third look accents the borks. Choosing them in a metallic color really makes them stand out. Pairing them with a neutral lace dress, and a jean jacket, keeps the focus on the shoes. The flower crown and pale lipstick add a boho feel to the look, and really keep the birks the center of attention. This look is perfect for a nice brunch, going on a walk in the park or really any activity; this look is so versatile. 

LOOK #4: PREPPY

Birkenstocks

Another look where the birks steal the show! Bright birks in pink or really any color, accent the neutral white jeans and chambray shirt. The delicate gold jewelry accents the look perfectly as well as adding the preppy feel to it. Chambray and White jeans are a classic look that screams prep. Adding in the fun birks gives the outfit some contrast, but still leaves the look preppy because of the pink color. This look is perfect for brunch, meetings, or errands. Again, so versatile. 

LOOK #5: EDGY

Birkenstocks

Another look with a fun pop of color via the birks! Red is such a fun color and really makes a bold statement. Pairing the red with black denim and white sweater, leaves the shoes the main focus, while also making the look a little more edgy. The red lip is perfect to balance out the red shoes, and pulls together the look perfectly. This look can be work to go get ice-cream, a museum, or even class. 

I hope these 5 looks inspired you to try out the Birkenstock trend that is popping up this spring. They are so versatile and there are so many colors and styles that everyone can find a pair to fit their style. Give them a try, they're so fun!
