In Living Color



Hat: H&M (featured in my Fall Finds) | Jacket: Portobello Rd. Boutique
Top: Urban Outfitters | Boyfriend Jeans: H&M | Booties: H&M

I got the chance to spend 5 days in Paris a few weeks back and 
one thing I absolutely loved about the city (the list is endless honestly) was the street art everywhere.
So I figured, "Why not snap some outfit pics in front of some?"

This was my travel outfit for the first day and was super comfortable but still made me feel chic enough for Parisian streets.
A lot of the pieces came from H&M, which I don't usually don't frequent often in the states but the selection in UK stores is so much more appealing to me here than back in the states.

À bientôt!

Taking It Easy








Jacket: Urban Outfitters | Shirt: Loehmann's | Skirt: Madewell |
Booties: H&M (featured in my fall finds!) | Sunglasses: Old Spittafields Market


I'm back! It's been way longer than anticipated for me to make another post. 
Finals and traveling (Paris to be exact ^_^) got me a tad sidetracked but I'm refocused and ready to go. 

I wore this outfit when my friend and I randomly decided to go exploring around London. 
It was a wonderful day, the weather was perfect and we made some awesome discoveries. 

Personal note: One thing you should know about me is that I absolutely love lions. They're quiet yet so powerful.
When I came across this bad boy at Camden Market I just had to get a picture. 
Until next time!

Fall Finds



Fall is one of my favorite seasons, in terms of fashion and weather. 
Every year I search for those perfect pieces that will enhance my fall wardrobe. 
I figured I'd post a few of my finds so far and continue building on it as the season progresses.

I remember seeing a wide brimmed hat on a blog (most likely Refinery29)  sometime during the summer
and I knew instantly that I wanted this to be apart of my fall wardrobe. 
I found this one at an H&M in London and absolutely love it!
It adds the right amount of edge and mystery to my outfits.

**Sorry about the poor quality. It was really hard to find a spot that could hold my hat with decent lighting**


 
Another great find was this ring from the Portobello Road Market in London. 
It reminded me a lot of the YSL 'Arty' ring and I the deep red stone is perfect for fall. 
Even better is I managed to haggle the price down from £20 to £11!

 


I knew my fall wardrobe wouldn't be complete without the perfect pair of black booties.
For me? These are it. 
I snagged these at H&M and I have been more than satisfied.
They're not only one of my favorite color combinations but quite comfortable too. 


Hope you enjoyed!
I'll be posting more 'Fall Finds' throughout the season so stay tuned!!

In Plain Sight


I know I said my last post would be my final (and only) summer outfit but I couldn't help myself. 
 I really enjoyed wearing this outfit for a girls' day out with my younger sister. 
It was perfect for dealing with the southern heat.  





Camo Jacket: Nordstrom Rack / Crop Top: Loehmann's / Shorts: DIY (purchased the jeans at Goodwill) 

Shoes: Converse / Purse: Charity Yard Sale / Necklace: Mom's / Sunglasses: Urban Outfitters



Alright, I promise I am now saying farewell to summer.
 I hope you guys are ready to embrace that autumn chill.....fashionably of course.
I know I am.

Primitive Instinct


I know autumn is quickly approaching but I wanted to get in one summer outfit before it's too late. 
This skirt was one of my favorite buys this summer; it made me feel like a goddess and the double leg split made it incredibly comfortable.


Scarf (turned headwrap): Ebay / Top: Forever 21 / Skirt: Urban Outfitters 
Jacket: Goodwill / Shoes: Charlotte Russe
