{Army Vest Obsession}






As you guys know, I am in love with vests (See here to fully understand where I am coming from, if you don't already). This army vest from Old Navy is a total dupe for the wonderful J Crew one. I threw on a black dress, leopard print sweater, some tights and my favorite Enzo Angiolini boots and called it good. This is one of my favorite fall go-to outfits because of its comfort factor. I have been trying to layer more lately and I am pretty sure my obsession with vests is getting worse...crap!! Anyways, happy Friday!

{1 Sweater, 3 ways}

Something that happens to me all too often when shopping is finding something I literally cannot live without. So, of course, I buy it. Obviously, what other option is there really?! Then I get home and I don't have a clue what to wear it with. This happened the other day when I found a gorgeous pink sweater at a vintage store. I had to have it, then got home and realized I own zero pink. Literally, zero. Weird, right? I mean, I am a girl, this is not really normal. Anyways, I was stumped on what to pair it with because I don't really wear pink, and we are talking very bright, blinding, magenta pink people. First time for everything, though. So here are some ideas I came up with for some inspiration. Note: these outfits work with almost any color sweater. So without further adieu... 


I love the rolled up True Religion jeans with the bright pink and these Zara booties are to die for. Pairing it with some arm candy, a bold, bulky necklace and this Old Navy vest makes it perfect for chilly fall weather.
This look would be perfect for a day at work followed by happy hour. Black tights are my new best friend. I used to kind of hate the feel of tights...like, I felt like my mom. But these days I guess I am channelling my inner-mom because I love them. To brighten the look, I would use some kind of belt over the sweater, around the waist. This black with gold embelishments is my pick, but another bold color would also work! I couldn't resist the fur (I am just so addicted) and the ballet flats!
This look is definitely my favorite. I would wear this everyday if I could. Seriously, though, I would. Leggings, boots and a comfy weater..who can possibly resist? Boots are my addiction, what can I say. Give me a scarf, some gold jewlery, some sunglasses and I'm set. All I need is a coffee..

I hope you got some inspiration from these, let me know if you have suggestions for my next 1 piece, 3 ways look! tweet me!

{Fall Stripes}






This is one of my favorite purchases this past summer. I got it for the 4th of July, and it was perfect for the not so warm Seattle weather. I love the notical look to it, I mean, who doesn't like a good notical dress?! The length and slightly baggy fit make it one of the most comfortable dresses I own. I got a lot of wear out of it this summer, and fortunately the past week has been pretty warm for this time of year! Pairing it with a simple denim jacket and flats for this gorgeous sunny day.

{Gap Style Event}

Happy Monday and Happy Halloween! I hope everyone had a perfectly spooky time!

This past Thursday I went to a style event at the Gap hosted by Emerald Closet. My good friend Alyson Andrews was the featured blogger of the night, and she was fabulous! It was a really good time, with styling tips, yummy snacks, goody bags and lots of bloggers! There were raffel prisez and I was beyond ecstatic to win the grand prize of a $100 visa card, a Vera Bradley clutch. It was a very good time meeting new people and seeing my friend Alyson! Many thanks to Emerald Closet, The Gap and Alyson!

{Trick or Treat}

It is Halloween weekend! Hooray!! I don't know about you, but I am pretty darn excited. Although, I still don't know what I am going to be...yikes! I am running a little late on costume ideas, so if you have one, help a sister out! Have a safe and fun halloween to all! Get freaky (like, scary...get your mind out of the gutter), get spooky, get weird or look pretty and cute. Whatever your trick or treat style is just make sure you eat lots and lots and lots and LOTS of candy! Keep those dentists in business, people!

 
Honestly, I don't know if this is cool or down right creepy. Maybe a little of both...

{Fur Frenzy}






This vest is going to make a lot of appearances this fall/winter...so get ready, because I am in love! I have a few furs (all foux, calm down!) and I love them all. They are the perfect something extra to almost any outfit. They are warm, they are soft and they make me feel cozy. Basically, there is nothing wrong with them...at least I think so. My furs are my go-to jackets of the fall and winter, kind of like denim jackets in the spring and summer. I hope you guys enjoy!
