Fall Football

One of my favorite things about fall is college football games. 

This past weekend was finally the first cold game! It. was. freezing. By the end of the (disappointing) game, I was a popsicle. I had to go to the bathroom the entire game, but didn't go because I physically could not move. As a Texan, we aren't so used to the cold.

What to wear to college football game?

Your team colors for one thing.

In fall weather, I personally love a puffy vest and beanie.

I wore this J. Crew sweatshirt underneath my vest and paired it with my garnet (team color) pants. It was also a rainy day so my Hunter rain boots were perfect!

Dressing for football games can be fun and practical!

Shoe Soulmate

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I saw these shoes and instantly I was obsessed with them.

Leopard booties with gold accents....I felt as if these were my shoe soulmate.

Yes, it is that serious.

Are they just shoes?

Perhaps literally, but figuratively so much more.

Shoes that MAKE an outfit. You do not put these on as a final thought or haphazardly. No, you put your outfit on as the final thought because you build an outfit around shoes like these.

Beautiful, fierce, Beyoncé- esque shoes that are the statement piece.

The Brad to my Angelina, the SpongeBob to my crabby patty, these shoes complete my feet.

Everyone needs a shoe soulmate.

I LOVE GOOLLLDD

 

 

 

 

I love big, chunky, gold jewelry.

 Sometimes you just want a simple outfit to let the jewelry be the focus.

I was feeling simple the other day and went with my oversized white tee, skinny jeans and flats. I wanted to add some glamour so I wore some of my favorite accessories.

My gold cuff, flower necklace and big sunnies.

Accessories can be the star of any outfit.

They say ( don't know who they is..) but regardless, they say fashion editors spend the most money on accessories. Shoes, handbags and jewelry are the best splurges.

Accessories can be great investments.

Go for the gold!

Bold Blazer

 

 

 

I have a confession to make, this blazer has been sitting in my closet for months. Never worn.

I bought it this summer and have been patiently waiting (kind of) for the weather to cool off so I can break this bad boy out. A long blazer in 90 degrees weather is a little much. But alas it is October and the weather has cooled off a bit so I finally pulled it out!

This blazer is bold, versatile and chic. I love classic pieces, like blazers, that have a modern or unique  twist to them. It is what develops personal style. The distinctions.

I paired this long, bright blazer over one of my go-to striped dresses for a casual dinner.

However, there are countless ways to wear it!

Over skinny jeans and a tee shirt or with leggings and a long button down are just two ideas... Be creative!

Blazers aren't just for the office anymore!

"Don't sweat the small stuff"

 

 

 

Is there anything more important than clothes?

No.

Absolutely not.

Just kidding.

Many things are more important... career, family, boyfriend, friends, traveling and more.

 

I guess I have been thinking about this because my family is so close to the Ebola patients in Dallas right now. Literally half a block away... scary close.

I know this is neither an outbreak, nor the zombie apocalypse, but it just makes you think. I think about all the people losing their lives in Africa to this awful disease, and my parents being so close to it.

There are a lot of scary issues in this world.

Sometimes you just need to put on a good outfit, and remember to not sweat the small stuff.



Over-the-Knee Obsession

              Boots are the quintessential fall shoe.

Ankle boots, chelsea boots, riding boots, platform boots and the list goes on. But my absolute favorite are over-the-knee boots. They are a major trend this season and personally I have always loved them. They are so dramatic.

I have black leather over-the-knee riding boots that I have literally worn to death. I love them, but I think they are done. I just bought these suede boots to replace them. Many boots can be very expensive, but I got these from Asos for a very reasonable price. I know I will be wearing them often this fall. What are your favorite types of boots?

Shades of Blush

 

 

 Happy hump day everyone!

I woke up today to wonderful 57 degree weather! Ha! 57 degrees today! Finally it feels like fall!

I think today is the day. I have been waiting (somewhat patiently) for this day to come.

The day I get my first pumpkin spice latte of the year!

I have held off drinking one until it feels like fall and today it does. Why are women so obsessed with the pumpkin spice latte? First, because it is delicious. And second, because we love cozying up in fall weather with a big chunky sweater and pumpkin spice in our hand. It just feels good.

So today I will do just that.

This latest outfit I wore will probably be the last summery outfit I post.

Good bye summer, I will not miss you.

 My life is so glamorous, let me tell you...

My glamour filled weekend consisted of taking my dog to get her shots, the car wash, grocery store, Target run and so much more. Jealous? I know right, so luxurious.

Sometimes you have to run errands and get shit done.

Even though I may not be buzzing around Milan on a Vespa ( I wish ) I still want to dress my way. Why? Because I want to, and that's a good enough reason I think.

Every day can be your runway.

Wear what you love and own it.
