Fall Fashion Wish List

Now that fall is here we can put our sundresses and shorts away. It’s time for boots and jeans in dark rich colors, this is my favorite season to dress for, all the layers just make me so happy. I went through my closet the other day and made a short wish list of what I think would help round-out my closet for the season.

1. Buckle Booties:

I wasn’t convinced of this look until I saw my bestie Coll in a pair this week. They looked so cute, so of course I need some now too!

2. A Chunky Drapey Cardigan:

How comfy do these look? All three would look cute with skinny jeans and simple top underneath. I love the color of the first one!

3. Military Green Jacket:

My favorite is #3…and I may or may not have ordered it already. I needed to use my JCP rewards!

4 & 5. There seem to be two colors this fall that are the “it” colors. Garnet and Emerald. Or Green and Red, Maroon and Forest Green…whatever you want to call them.

I think red can be hard to pull off, it takes a lot of confidence to pull off a red dress. I love the one here, it could be paired with black tights and cute flats or boots and a denim jacket. It could also be dressed up for a Holiday party.

I die for that green purse!

Friday Favorites: It’s about time.

Happy Friday!

Remember when birthdays were all about balloons and cupcakes? They were magical days where you got pancakes for breakfast and your favorite dinner and there was lots of cake. Ah, the good old days of youth. I think we should bring those back.

My birthday is coming up, it’s on the 30th, that’s the last Monday of the month. It’s also the day of my math midterm. Neither of these things make me think of fun and balloons. But I’ve been promised cake so at least there’s that.

Anyway. I found myself in a situation today where I didn’t have my phone within reach (gasp!) and I couldn’t see a clock anywhere but I needed to know what time it was. I was in such a pickle that I looked down to consult my watch, when I remembered…I don’t own one.

So I figured I would take the opportunity to ask for a birthday present from mister and finally get a watch. It seemed like the responsible and grown up thing to do.

Here are his choices, even though he already knows the one that I really, really want.

Wenger

La Mer Collection

Sprout

Invicta

Which one do you guys think it is?

Have a great weekend!

 

 

Friday Favorites! New Years Eve edition…

Happy Friday!

Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, which means it’s time to gather with friends and celebrate the ending of one year and the beginning of another. Usually the mister and I stay home and make a nice dinner with a good bottle of wine and watch some movies. This year we’re going to a party at our friend’s parents house. They’re the same people we spend Fourth of July with so it’s practically guarantied to be a great time.

We’re doing our traditional New Year’s Eve together tonight, and we’re watching the last two Harry Potter movies. I still haven’t seen the final one, I got extra Kleenex at the store today just to be safe.  But I digress.

Even though this party is definitely something that I could wear my regular t-shirt and jeans to, I think it’s important to get a little fancy for New Year’s Eve. What better way to celebrate a fresh year but in a pretty dress with your hair done properly? It is a celebration after all. Even when we stay home we at least put our nicest comfy clothes on.

So for today’s favorites I thought I would share some pretty dresses that I think would be perfect for a little party.

I love every one of these beauties, but I think my favorite one is the bottom right berry colored one. It has a cape! I’m thinking of ordering it for my birthday, I think I’ll feel like a super hero in it. Bonus!

I really think these cute dresses would look great with some super trendy brightly colored or lacy tights. Kind of like these:

So bright and festive!

Whatever your plans are for New Year’s Eve are I hope you have a wonderful time and enjoy yourselves to the fullest!
