Casual Friday

Most recently, I have been loving candles! I find that candles really relax me after an exhausting day and are great for mindfulness :) This Yankee Candle "Buttercream" is one of my new favorites.

The candle on the right is from Henri Bendel. Also an amazing place for pretty candles!

Hope everyone experiences some mindfulness this weekend -

What's on my Christmas list this year? Anything that sparkles! I am craving more glitter, sequins, and sparkle. It makes me so happy! 

What type of patterns or textures are you craving this season?

McQueen Inspired

{Skull Blouse (similar here) and Peach Pants (similar here), T.J. Maxx; Black T-Shirt, Target; Black Boots, Michael Kors, here; Bag, Rebecca Minkoff; Bracelets, Tiffany & Co, Tory Burch, Kenneth Cole; Sunnies, Chanel} 

My maid of honor and I went shopping a couple weekends ago and grabbed some yummy dinner. We were browsing through T.J. Maxx, after having our hands full with wedding goodies and house stuff, we spotted this skull blouse. Both of us looked at each other, and we both knew that we needed this blouse! My MOH (maid of honor) said something along the lines of, "what kind of message am I sending if I wear this?" I thought the same thing, but then I realized, who cares! We can just wear it for fun. So, I did. I am very happy they had two blouses in our size!

Skulls have been popping up all over the place lately. Originally, I only saw skulls on Alexander McQueen items, but now they're everywhere! I love my McQueen scarf, but I found it for an extremely, and I mean EXTREMELY inexpensive price, and that is why I have it. However, I cannot justify spending full price on a skull scarf or blouse. Needless to say, I am happy that I spotted this one!

What do you think?! Are skulls a yes or no?

Autumn

{Chambray Top, TopShop, gifted; Skinny Jeans, A&F; Scarf, My mommy's; Leather Boots, Michael by Michael Kors; Duffle Bag, Coach}

I bought these boots during Nordstrom's anniversary sale, and I am most definitely proud of my purchase! However, I couldn't wear these babies for months!! Today was the day I decided to take them out of their pretty box and wear them. It was hard, at first, to get any sort of dirt on them or scratch, but I realized they are shoes, and that's what they're for. lol

The next few weeks will be incredibly hectic. I have a major exam coming up for school, and I am swamped with assignments and other aspects of my internship. 

I will try to post as much as I can!

Thanks for reading!

Fall is in The Air

 {Sweater, Michael by Michael Kors; Floral Blouse, Nordstrom, here; Leggings, Victoria's Secret; Riding Boots, Lucky Brand; Bag, Louis Vuitton}

I have been waiting awhile for this day to arrive.. The day where I felt it was acceptable, and late enough in the year, to wear my riding boots! I've been looking at them for the past month, and I felt like today was an appropriate day to bust them out. To my dismay, the weather was pretty warm today in Chicago, and I probably did not need to wear them. However, it was cold in the morning when I took these pictures, and well, It's practically October!

Anyway, most comfy sweater EVER. It looks super cute belted too. Found this last year, and I'm glad I  found it in my pile of sweaters, because it's the perfect time of year to wear it!

The floral adds a touch of feminine and doesn't make the outfit look so winter-y (which I'm NOT looking forward to, btw).

TGtomorrowisF!

Internship, school, and work have been crazy. I am trying to find a happy medium between balancing all of this, and still sharing my outfits on this blog. I either need better time management, or I need an extra day added to the week!

Pop of Hot Pink

{Blouse, Nordstrom Rack; Pink Tank, Victoria's Secret PINK; Hot Pink Jeans, Target; Flats, Tory Burch, Necklace and Bracelet, Tiffany & Co; Nails, OPI "mod about you"}

My future sister-in-law asked me last week if I believe it is too late in the year to wear mint colored jeans. I said, heck no! Who cares if it is after Labor day? With trying to keep up to date with fashion, I have reviewed many articles noting that wearing white after Labor Day is an out-dated "no." If it's okay to wear white after labor day now, why not other colors?! As of late, I am wearing my hot pink jeans. The temperature is still in the 80's! As for the mint jeans, she can wear those throughout the entire winter, in my opinion, with a warm sweater and boots.

Tomorrow my fiance is coming home for the weekend, and we are going to celebrate our engagement with some family! 

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend :)
