Shoe of the Week: Zulah Riding Boot.

So, I know I have a lot of shoes, and I know I have quite a few pairs of boots, but I've been crushing over these for at least two weeks now. I've already got my new brown boots for fall (check 'em out in this post) but I love how sleek these Madden Girl boots look in Black. I feel like this purchase would be totally justified by 

1) the price (they're only $80!)

2) the classic look 

3) the frequency with which I wear boots in the October through March months 

(7/12 is the majority)...

If you love these beautiful boots too you can find them online at Victoria's Secret!

What I'm Loving: Mustard.

For me, transitioning into Fall is all about color and layers. The cool weather gives you an opportunity to layer on sweaters, jackets, and scarves, and the changing scenery always leaves me reaching for my warm tones clothing.Mustard is always one of my go-to colors for the fall and winter. Here's a little color course on how to wear Mustard.

Fall Fashion: Basics.

I always feel like everyone starts craving fall by the time the end of August rolls around, but the weather doesn't always participate, sometimes hot sometimes cold. This look is perfect for early fall transitioning and you can just add tights later on when the weather gets chilly!

Fall Fashion: a fall dress.

Fall is right around the corner and I am ready for it. The cooler weather, the busy hub of back to school and holidays, the leaves, the muted colors, the warm food, even the football. This summer has left me a little restless and I am ready to get back into things. 
Anyways, here's a great way to bring that fall flavor back into your wardrobe while the weather is still warm.

Music Monday: I Will Wait.

This week's Music Monday is very exciting! I absolutely love Mumford and Sons and the first single off their new album, Babel is out! I Will Wait is classic Mumford and Sons sound and lyrics, and is a perfect continuation of their previous album. I might have to make a paper chain counting down the days until September 25 when the rest of the album is released!

What I'm Loving: Burgundy.

Shoe of the Week: The Ultimate Wedge

This is the Fergalicious Women's Ultimate Wedge.

This week's shoe of the week is brought to you (and my closet) by the BOGO sale at Famous Footwear. I originally went to the shoe store with the intention of buying new running/workout shoes, and lucky me, it's BOGO time so post BOGO and post sale and post coupon I got these beauties for around $10. A steal if I've ever seen one. I love a good black pump and a good summery wedge and I feel like this shoe effortlessly combines the two. I think the mix of the black with the straw pump easily carries this shoe into fall's territory, and I may even wear them to that upcoming wedding this weekend.

Happy BOGO buying!

If you are looking for these beauties online, 

Endless is one place to find them (and in 5 different colors!)

Summer Style: Color Bright.

Looking for a new, fun way to wear that perfect green tank you bought this summer?

Here are four of this seasons favorite ways to style your new top! 

1. Make Cool Color Tones by paring this jade tank with jazzy blues.

2. Go Monochromatic by paring this green tank with a structured skirt in a similar (but not identical) shade of green, add neutral accessories to keep the green in check.

3. Everyone loves stripes! And this outfit idea is no exception.

4. Continue the Color Blocking brought out by this vibrant skirt by pairing it with the contrasting tank.

Summer Style: Wedding Looks.

I'll be going to another summer wedding in a few weeks and for this possibly last summer-fling I was craving a new look. I just ordered this dress on major sale at J Crew. Normally I would've bought the more tame/safe blue color but I decided to spice up my wardrobe and go with this vibrant cerise/poppy color. I'm planning on wearing turquoise jewelry with the dress (inspiration via Pinterest) and I always bring a cardi with me in case it's chilly at the venue. But, I can't quite decide how to accessorize the rest of the look, what do you think? Summery wedges, classic nude pumps, or edgier black accessories?  

J.Crew swiss dot dress / Burberry short cardigan, $520 / Diane von Furstenberg strappy wedge / Black sandals / J.Crew leather pumps, $53 / Beige clutch, $155 / Stella McCartney clutch bag / Kate Spade gold handbag / BY SOPHIE pear earrings

Fall Fashion: Bulldog Love

The mascot of the university that I attend is a Bulldog, and while I'm not normally one to be constantly sporting fan-gear, when I saw this Bulldog T online at J Crew Factory, I knew it was meant to be. 

Here are just a few ways I'm planning on styling this T around campus in the Fall. 

T shirt / Paul Smith knit top, $110 / Antonio Marras pleated skirt, $570 / Skinny jeans, $34 / Madewell ballet flat / Vic Matie high heels / Chinese Laundry wedge shoes / Big Buddha messenger bag / Aurélie Bidermann vintage jewelry, $61 / Stud earrings / J Crew eyewear

Shoe of the Week: Spotted Converse.

This week's shoe of the week is a little sporty, a little preppy, a little fun.

I've been wearing Converse since I was probably in the sixth grade? That is what I consider a serious long standing relationship. Even though they aren't my go-to everyday shoes anymore, I do think a good pair of classic and fun sneaks have a place in everyone's wardrobe. Whether you are wearing them for errands, for an unexpected/cute look with a dress or skirt, or even for a visit to the zoo or a sporting event. 

I'm absolutely in love with these Marimekko spotted sneaks from Converse.

You can find them at ASOS online! 

Summer Style: Peplum Prep

Peplum tops, dresses and skirts have been a huge trend this past spring and summer, and while the look might seem to dramatic on the hanger, it's so easy to wear and figure flattering once you put it on. 

Here's a cool, summery, and not so intimidating way to wear the peplum trend!

Wedding Wednesday

This week's Wedding Wednesday is inspired by witty words and ideas, Enjoy!
And as always, if you are looking for more great wedding ideas, check out my Wedding Loves board on Pinterest!

This is taking my love for Ampersands and Monograms to a whole new level.

Guest-Libs, if there could be part of a wedding that was made for a Rhetoric major, I think this would be it.

I really love the idea of a guest (book) quilt. 

Everyone on Pinterest has seen this one, but the picture is so great, and the format of the whole thing is just so great,and the words, equally great and witty.
