Orange You Clad

Hello Lovelies! Yesterday, Texas finally started feeling a bit more like the REAL November that I know and loved in New York City. COLD! A Nice, breezy, cold front rolled in during the late afternoon which caused me to reach for my peter pan collared baby doll swing coat! I love this coat with all my heart. I feel like a little fancy lady wearing it. Also, on Monday I received my brand spankin' new BonLook frames in the mail. I ordered La Marquise in Tortoise and I have a winner. I've never glasses ordered online and I was so surprised & pleased that my frames fit so well without an actual try on. Also I lucked out on one of their coupon deals and scored a pair of prescription frames for only $75 buckaroos. Free shipping! I am in love with them. My dearest approved them as well which is great since he had no idea what kind of frames I ordered. Anyway, I had a lovely Tuesday and am having a fantastic Wednesday. I have been gone a while so fill me in on what's shaking in your neck of the woods! Cheers to all!

***On a side note, I have been feeling quite a bit of Holiday cheer already. ;)

What We Wore

Hello!! Its been a long 2 weeks. Midterms are over and I am now looking ahead to Finals and the next semester. I started a new job and have been called in a few days so, I have not been as active. I will try to be better about posting. If I am inactive on here feel free to follow me on instagram or twitter. I have been better about posting on there when I am not active on blogger. Any whoot! Dan and I were heading to Pet Smart on Sunday to grab our beardie a better heat lamp. Turns out its keeping him warmer. Yay! We took some pictures together. His were cooler than mine because of the hour we went out there. You can't ever guess how the lighting will be in the evenings now. I am so thrown off by the time change. (Yes even after a week, I am not adjusted.) Hope all is well with you lovelies. I will be sharing my midterm artwork this week for sure.

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, RUBY!

Hello! お久しぶりです.（O-hisashiburi!) Long time! This past Tuesday my best pal Ashlee and I went on an impromptu photo and shopping excursion! We had a great time talking, driving around and shopping. We stopped at Whole Foods for lunch after snapping some photos around my area. It was a lovely fall day. I must say that I cannot complain about the weather in Texas because it has been fantabulous! I officially have fall fever. Better late than never right? Any hoot, I remixed this lovely gem I found at Target last fall. I wore it mid-summer with my cowgirl boots. I layered it with a thrifted Kenneth Cole find from this past summer, a bow belt and my heart printed tights. Studded heels were my go-to for footwear. I felt like it gave my outfit the extra "oomph" I was looking for. You can find interesting printed dresses like this one at your local Plato's Closet as well! I think I will be making my way down there this weekend for a few new fall pieces.

Here's how I wore it mid-summer.

Here's How I wore it this fall.

HAPPY THURSDAY!

Twenty-Five Years.

Hello all! Yesterday I turned 25 years old. Quite a milestone for me. I have changed so much over the years and I feel it has been for the better. I've become a little bit wiser, stronger, and driven to build my own happiness through hard work and enjoying my life to the fullest. I am so lucky to have wonderful people in my life who care about me and look out for me. My best friend and I went on a thrifting excursion and enjoyed our undeniable love for PUMPKIN MUFFINS!! This has been a tradition of ours for as long as we have been friends.(And that's a long time) She got me the cutest romper ever(pictured on instagram), and some handmade crochet accessories. I find that over the years we have become increasingly picky with our choices while thrifting. It's a blessing and a curse. Sometimes we don't find anything at all and other times we find golden treasures to add to our collections. I had a blast. I also got to experience my first drive in movie theater experience and that will be on the blog tomorrow. Ashlee posted an old picture from back in 2008 when we saw Eisley live in Philly.
What a flashback! I look so different yet I look the same. Back in that time I would not be caught dead in a dress and now I have no idea how many dresses I have. I guess its all part of growing up! What's your favorite birthday memory?

Style Remix: Final Fall Transition

Happy Wednesday Readers! So we all know that before we know it summer will be far behind us and fall will be in full swing. But this season it seems like summer is trying to hold on for a while longer. (some places more than others) What do you do? We are all excited for fall layers and colors but the season's not quite here yet. In this final transition to your fall wardrobe, there are a few key summer pieces you may want to stick around, but how do you get away with wearing it during the fall? Well here's news to you! You don't have to pack up every summer item just yet. Chambray is one of the most season friendly pieces a girl can have. Whether its a dress or a buttoned down, you can always bet on chambray to save the day.

Here's how to make it work.
This plaid chambray dress is adorable for summer time and is great when paired with a pop-color flat or white. But, you can also "fall it down" by pairing it with a light knit cardigan with an autumn tone to it. (i.e. Burnt orange, deep purple, mustard, navy, or another neutral color.) Add some tights.(Patchwork tights, or an opaque bold color like burgundy, brown or my periwinkle colored tights.) The shoes are really up to you but stick with darker neutrals and play with your options. Ankle boots, brouges with knee highs, or pumps would look great. I paired my chambray outfit with grey vintage Mary Jane pumps I found while thrift during the summer. It sets a scholastic tone with the change in the seasons and gets you pumped for those cooler days to come. My updo was inspired by a tutorial I found on pinterest. Its super easy, really comfy and added a vintage feel to my look. I hope this helps you find a medium between the seasons. What summer pieces do you love that you can't seem to part with?
