Feathers and Lace

If I didn’t like white//cream lace dresses so much, I can’t even begin to tell you how much money I would have saved in my lifetime. I wear them all year long, saving the pure whites for the spring and summer months. My newest love comes in the form of this Staring at Stars pretty from Urban Outfitters– so romantic and whimsy!

Pretty in Plaid

This holiday season, I am loving the idea of pairing casual, comfy plaids, like this soft boyfriend-fit from Jack Wills, with more formal skirts, as in this dark velvet number by Pins and Needles. Don’t get me wrong, I wear sparkly holiday dresses as much as I can in December, but I do think this would be a fun Christmas-party alternative!

Velvet Mini Circle Skirt, Pins and Needles via Urban Outfitters, $39
Tassel Zip Clutch, ASOS, $25 (sale!)
Bow Hair Clip, American Apparel, $34 (3-pack)
Tock Flats, Kate Spade, $198

Also, at this point “plaid” is starting to look like one of those words that I just don’t think is spelled right…

Gray Days

Chambray shirt, Old Navy [similar] // Lace shorts, H&M [similar] // Headband, Jack Wills [similar 1; 2] // Necklace, J. Crew // Around the World Watch, Urban Outfitters // Bracelets, Alex & Ani; Presh; vintage // Sandals, Tommy Hilfiger 

I usually try to wear my brightest and cheeriest clothes on gray days, to combat the dreary weather, but this particular morning was just asking for something comfortable and calming. Nothing felt better than slipping into a worn chambray shirt and some soft shorts. An arm party and big bow cheered the overall look, and day, up a bit.

Big note! I’ve received a lot of comments about the above watch that I wear often, and I’m happy to say it’s back in stock at Urban Outfitters!

OOTD

I think I mentioned last week, I saw this movie recently…

Not only did I cry through most the whole thing because of the great story which I can personally relate to, but I also fell in love with Felicity Jones’s character’s style. And she showed up for a Q&A after the screening, have I mentioned that too? :)

But anyway, the character and the actress inspired me to put together this boho feminine look, also a perfect way to debut my Missoni for Target steal!

Tank, H&M
Pleated skirt, Urban Outfitters

Bracelet, vintage
Pumps, Missoni for Target 

And if you take nothing else from this post, please please please just go see the film! You won’t be disappointed.

post script. I’m linking up with The Pleated Poppy and What I Wore Wednesday for the first time today!

Cozy Side of Fall

FINALLY linking up with {av} at long distance loving for a Friday’s Fancies! This week’s theme is the cozy side of fall. Now I haven’t tried this skirt on, but for some reason I just get the feeling that it actually is really comfortable… has anyone tried it IRL and can confirm? If it’s not, oops…

Cozy Side of Fall

Leather Bow Clip, American Apparel, $16
Chain Channel Pullover, Anthropologie, $98
Petal to the Metal Clutch, Marc Jacobs, $278
Sequinned Miniskirt, Zara, $129
Minnetonka Triple Fringe Boot, Urban Outfitters, $90

Either way, I am lusting over it. Any of you seen a version under $130 yet?? Or is a good sequin skirt this season going to be a bank breaker?

And oh man, those MJ Petal to the Metal bags. Still loving them after all this time and still can’t afford them.

I cannot believe today is the first day of fall. I’ve been dreading it for some reason this year (maybe since it’s the first fall I’m not back at school?), but today I’ve decided to embrace it fully. Bring on the pumpkins, cider, costumes, hayrides, and leaves. I’m ready for you now autumn, no turning back.

Transition

Lace dress, Delia’s
Turtle belt, Urban Outfitters
Earrings, Urban Outfitters
Locket, CatBird
Bracelets, vintage
Sandals, Guess

I’m holding on to these last few days of warm{ish} weather still and am refusing to wear pants until I absolutely have to! But I do figure it’s at least time to start embracing fall colors, and I love the neutrals and browns in this outfit I wore to SoWa during rendez-vous new england last weekend.

Also, that turtle belt? Blogged about it months ago here, and just recently found it at the bottom of an Urban Outfitters sale bin! #goodday

OOTD + friends

Lockstitch Tee, Anthropologie
White shorts, H&M
Braided belt, vintage
Earrings, Urban Outfitters
Sand dollar necklace, Out of the Blue

 There’s not much to this easy summer outfit, but I sure think the bright yellow Adirondack chairs add something to it! So proud of my mom for walking on the wild side (at least for her) and choosing such a bright pop for our outdoor furniture.

I also got up the courage to wear some big earrings other than my pearls and finally changed out my single second hole I have in my right ear for this adorable little bicycle. I mean, you know how much I love them!

Two other notes of business:

For those of you who are already on Bloglovin’, I’m finally just getting around to cleaning up my account and would love to connect over there! Follow my blog with Bloglovin <3

Also, I’d like to introduce you to a very good friend of mine:

James Dean Beauty Queen

Welcome Ariana to the blogosphere!  She and I go way back, to eighth grade actually when she moved to our little Pennsylvania town from Texas! To this day she’s still one of the sweetest gals I know. We’ve been apart at separate colleges for too long now, so I’m very excited that we’re in the midst of planning a trip to meet up in New York City to visit our friend Kelly who just moved there!

Oh, high school...

Isn’t reconnecting with old friends the best?

Birds of a Feather

I’ll say it: I like the feather hair extension trend.

But if you’re like me, you don’t like getting stuck with permanent accessories you have to match all outfits too, and the idea of crimping a feather into your hair makes you a little nervous…

Luckily, queen of all hipsters Urban Outfitters has some alternatives:

A single earring…

Johnique by The Desert Child Feather Single Earring, $38

A temporary clip…

Double Feather Hair Clip, $19

Or a headband…

Feather Drop Headband, $20

Ugh I so wish I could pull off this look!
