Falling Sun

Tis 'almost' the season to bring out the boots, scarves, layers, and socks. Today I have a little pre-fall inspiration for you all. Some inspiration on how to take some of your summer pieces and transition them into fall. 

Take the famous, Trapeze Slip from Free People for example. This thing is a multi-season-go-to-champion. You can pair it with a slip and wear it as a dress, pair it with a fun kimono for fall, wear it with tights and boots, or pair it with jeans...in my case, these super fun patched jeans (that I've had for forever and a half). To add a bit more to the fall look, I decided to pair it with a cropped top. I loved all the textures, color, and patterns in this particular pairing. When dressing, don't get too wrapped up in the whole "but it doesn't match thing." Mixing colors, prints, and textures makes for a fun and unique look. 

To finish my look I accessorized it with the perfect simple flower crown from the Flower Crown Society. Flower crowns were a huge hit this summer, but there is no reason why you can't continue wearing them for fall. Allison, from the Flower Crown Society is a flower crown making champion. You can't get anything from her that isn't fabulous. If you want the crown I'm wearing, it's called the DAWN wildflower crown :).

Plaid for Fall 2013!

Whether it may be found in peplum, a skirt, trousers, shorts, a dress, or a maxi skirt, plaid is HUGE this season. I've compiled a few of my favorite looks from the runway this year for you all. What I see is that whatever style you personally have, plaid can fit into it somewhere. Designers are showing such variations on plaid looks. What helps me style plaid, is to think of it as a neutral. You can pair it with about anything...don't be afraid to mix it up and put it with another print. You can even go graphic and pair a cute "school girl" plaid skirt with a graphic baggy tee. Then you can of course, pair it with leather, which is also huge this season! A fun plaid button up shirt with a leather mini. Oh! So cute. Be inspired. Hope you are just as I was! Here's a plaid & leather look I did last year :)

Be sure to scroll through some of my [non-desinger] picks for plaid. Still amazing and your wallet will be happy happy happy!

Just be

Happy Sunday everyone. I just wanted to share these photos I took a couple weeks back. This is where I grew up...isn't it just magical. Sometimes when I'm having bad days or need some time alone, I walk up on the mountain where  our horses have been grazing for the summer. I love to just sit and watch them and reflect on the day. 

I feel it beneficial for me to sometimes just be. Just be without my phone, computer, and other noise that affects us so much of the time. God created such beauty for us to see, if we just look up. Spending time with our chubby horses, soaking in the sun, looking up to the skies and up in the mountains, reminds me to be thankful for the little things that I am blessed with daily in this life. So often times, I get wrapped up in everything I need to get done, things I need to improve on, yadda yadda yadda. Same old story. 

So if you are anything like me, I recommend you find a place where you can see the beauty in life! A place that refocuses you to focus not on trivial things, but things that matter. Things like loving others, being kind, and also being kind to yourself. 

Have a beautiful day :)

Feminine Grunge

So excited to be featuring PB & J Boutique again. I love their company and the brands they represent. Today I'm wearing their Coppola Tank by Stone Cold Fox. A must-have in any fashionable girl's closet ;). Love the lace detailing and the low back.

You can pair this shirt with about anything, but today I grunged it up with some vintage levi shorts. With all its femininity it can handle a little tomboy grunge. Accessorize it with a cute floppy fall hat and your favorite bracelets and rings. I didn't wear any necklaces with it because all of the beauty of the shirt is in the back...I didn't want to over accessorize it.
