Leather Weather

Although I would say that summer is my favorite season {due to my love of the beach}, fall is a very close second. I love everything about it. The slight chill in the air, apple and pumpkin picking, the changing colors of the leaves, and of course fall fashion. 

I've cropped most of the ombré out of my hair, changed over to dark nail polish, and just like that, I'm falling into fall.

Dark and Stormy

Top:  Aritzia (similar here), Jeans:  Rag & Bone, Shoes: Zara (similar here), Bag: Rebecca Minkoff

Last night I came home to a dark house as our power was out due to thunderstorms that swept through northern NJ. My husband and I had no sooner grabbed the camera to snap some pics when we heard the rain coming. We made it inside just in time - whew! I don't think I've ever run so fast in heels in my life.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

It's In The Bag

Top:  H&M (old, similar here, LOVE the Equipment version), Jeans:  AG via Anthropologie, Shoes:  Ann Taylor (old, great alternative here), Bag:  Free People

My new job requires me to work some weekends, which I actually don't mind because I truly enjoy what I'm doing.  

Not to mention, it gives me the opportunity to kick back and wear some distressed denim to work.

On a side note, I have to discuss this bag with you because I think it may be my favorite tote EVER. I had been searching for a tan leather tote for fall ~ and I looked EVERYWHERE.  I spotted this vegan leather tote on the Free People website the other day and I was smitten. Not only does it look like leather, but it feels like leather too. As if that wasn't enough, it comes with a long shoulder strap, a tan pouch large enough to fit an iPad {or use as a clutch}, a small coral-colored pouch, AND the bag is reversible!

So...I have a new tan bag and a new coral bag!

Black Lace

Dress:  Free People, Jacket:  Madewell, Shoes:  Zara (old, similar here), Bag:  Rebecca Minkoff, Sunnies:  Forever 21 (old, similar here)

Celebrating the remaining warm-weather days by wearing flirty little frocks that show off the remnants of my sun-kissed skin.

I look forward to pairing this dress with booties and tights when the temp drops for good.

Happy Monday!

White {Shoes} After Labor Day

Sweater:  J.Crew, Skirt:  J.Crew, Shoes:  Steve Madden, Bag:  C.Wonder (LOVE this similar alternative) Bangle:  C.Wonder (identical one here)

Although I totally believe in wearing white after Labor Day {or wearing whatever makes you happy for that matter}, I just can't get on board with white sandals in the fall.  After today I'm sad to say I'm going  to have to pack these beauties away until Easter!

Btw ~ TGIF!!!

Camo & Lace

Jacket:  Madewell, Top:  Madewell (old, great alternative here), Pants:  Gap, Shoes:  Zara (old, similar here), Bag:  Marc by Marc Jacobs (very old, newer version here)

Lace + camo + sassy sandals + red bag + denim jacket = five of my faves combined into one outfit.

Happy hump day!
