A Luster (and sometimes a Lover)

Damn you fall. I mean your weather is lovely, your colors are beautiful, but your new wardrobe can get too expensive! Okay, not like I don't have past season fall clothes, but exactly that, past season. Now that I'm really going to have to save and budget wisely that leaves out all the things I want to splurge on.

I lust, oh every single day of my life. And to add insult to injury the new Free People catalog slapped me across my face with beautiful fabrics. All that I think I need, who am I kidding? Of course I need....and will not get unless I win the lottery or someone decides to take me on a shopping spree. Takers?

A few items that are just so delicious!

I'm usually a black and white kind of gal but I'd love to incorporate these soft colors into my wardrobe.

Today is the Day

I am off to Europe! I will be going everywhere and experiencing more life and culture than I am used to. I am excited! I may be MIA for the next month but will provide a plethora of photos when I get back. I leave a couple photos of myself at one of my favorite places and in one of my favorite pieces....

And Another...

Just another thing I probably should add to my closet. You never know when you're going to need a dress that looks exactly like that over shorts, you know?

Little Gems

Stressing over what to wear in Europe is an understatement! But I have found a few things I can call true love...and will last me a lot of comfort and color (a tan, atleast) while I am there!

Cute, Comfortable & Compact

Europe is in 28 days and the biggest current stress? What to wear there! All I want is comfort, casualness, and chicness. (My biggest challenge will be to fit five weeks worth of goods in a backpack)
Inspirations:

 

Lots of denim shorts, t-shirts, tunics over shorts and possibly a feminine raincoat for those maybe rainy days.

There is a bow in your hair!

I felt adventurous and tried the hair bow. The result was successful and so I had to document it, and then I snapped a few pictures of my outfit and accessories in between!

Everything is from everywhere but my favorite currently is the delicate gold "E" wrapped around my wrist. I got it as a necklace and did not wear it much because honestly I am not a big necklace wearer. The original chain broke and I decided to convert it into a wrap around bracelet. I love it and wear it way more now than when it was a necklace.
