Happy Wednesday, friends! Now that it is September, I guess we have to start thinking about transitioning to fall. Although, I have to confess that fall is the last thing on my mind this week since temperatures have been in the mid-90’s, making it one of the hottest weeks all summer! I am very much looking forward to the cooler temperatures to set in, especially since this would be the perfect outfit to wear for transitioning from summer to fall.


Two colors that I have been loving for fall are this military green and crimson red. What I love most about this green is that it can easily be paired with brown or black and it looks so fabulous with leopard! With the black and brown mixed, I think a neutral lip and nail polish compliment the outfit just perfectly. And how cute is this bracelet?! It’s somewhat difficult to see in the picture, but there is a monogram on the the round stone. I am always attracted to a good personalized piece and I love the modern feel to this one!


Have you thought about your go-to colors for fall yet? I would love to hear what colors you are crushing on for this new season in the comments section below. 


Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday! We’ve officially made it to the halfway point of the week! Today’s Wednesday Wishes is all about a slightly new color obsession of mine: red. I’ve never been much of a fan of the color {I blame it on the fact that it was one of my school colors growing up and I had way too much of it in my closet!} but recently, I have been seeing so many red accessories I love. I even painted my toe nails red the other night which was a huge change for me. I’m all about shades of pink in the summer 🙂


This outfit inspiration all started around this striped skirt. When I first saw it, I of course loved the stripes, but the tapestry-like band at the hemline is what won me over. I feel like the skirt can be styled so many different ways, from casual to work to a night out…and everything in between! And speaking of skirts, I also have had my eye on this one…which would pair so perfectly with red, right?! 


When it comes to red accessories, this lipstick is one of my favorite. It’s a super intense color  that really makes your lips pop. I especially love wearing it around the holidays, but it’s also a year-round lipstick as well. And, as the name describes, this lipstick will stay on all day. No joke! You will have to scrub it off, which in my opinion, makes for a great lipstick. I don’t know about you, but I hate having to reapply my lipstick or gloss several times throughout the day! 


Thanks for stopping by and have a great Wednesday!

Happy Thursday, friends! One of my favorite color combinations is black and white. There is just something so chic about this monochromatic look — there is nothing like a black and white outfit with a pop of red lipstick! As you may know, I have had fall on my mind lately, so I wanted to share some outfit inspiration that is perfect for late summer and early fall. 


Black and white is one of my go-to color combinations in the fall and winter, but it can be easily worn in the summer as well, especially when this cute panama hat and strappy sandals are involved! And it’s easy to take these colors to fall by swapping the panama hat for a floppy fedora and suede paneling pants — how fun are those! Although I love my open-toe booties that I wore yesterday {here’s the post in case you missed it!} the wooden heel and buckle on these is just too perfect for words!


Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! As I mentioned last week, I’m really anxious for fall. I always blame it on the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and how they tempt us with all those fabulous fall clothes, but this year, I’m beginning to think it’s also the weather. It has been SO hot and humid this summer, I cannot wait for the cool and crisp air of fall to arrive. 


Until then, I can start planning my fall wardrobe and dreaming of these gorgeous fall colors! Leopard is definitely a neutral for me and something I wear year-round, but I especially love accessorizing with this print in the fall. And I’m predicting now that this crimson/burgundy color is going to be my go-to color for the fall months, I can’t get enough of it! 


Have a wonderful day and thanks for dropping by!


P.S. I am totally obsessed with J.Crew’s newest arrivals! Have you checked them out yet? I’ve included a few pieces in today’s look, but there is so much more to see!

Today’s Wednesday/Thursday Wishes is bringing back a favorite of mine: splurge vs. save! As easy as it is to love the more expensive items, I love finding similar items at a more affordable price. And, I must say, I actually like a few of the save items more than the splurge! What about you? 


I have loved this splurge skirt for a few months now. I definitely have an obsession with midi skirts and if you add a stripe, you literally have the perfect skirt for me! I was thrilled when I found this much more affordable version. Don’t they look super similar?! And how fabulous are these sunglasses?! The are so dramatic and chic, I think I like the save version better! 


Hope you all have a great Thursday and wonderful weekend! See you Monday!
