BOO!

Have fun dressing up, passing out candy, and enjoying the Halloween TV specials!

Heart Tippi :: Outfit Planning

JCrew Perfect in mini gingham // JCrew Tippi Heart Sweater // 

JCrew Navy Matchstick Cords // Kate Spade Cora Loafer // Loren Hope Sophia Studs 

JCrew Gold Skinny Belt 

Finally, cooler breezes have arrived! Let the layering begin!

I just scored this JCrew Tippi Heart Sweater from Ebay.

It certainly wasn't the color combo I initially eyed when JCrew

came out with the sweater, but I've seen it styled so many different ways

that it's growing on me. After all, it'll help keep bright colors in a

fall/winter wardrobe. 

Happy Tuesday!

FL-GA Weekend :: Outfit

Every October my entire family gathers together in Florida for the 

infamous 'cocktail' party and FL-GA weekend. My suitcase is flooded with

everything orange and blue. I try to prove that all Gators don't have mullets

and wear jorts. Afterall, THE Blair Eadie from Atlantic-Pacific is

alumnus of UF. 

Top:  Forever21 (fall2011) // Skinnies:  Seven for All Mankind // Shoes:  JCrew

Belt:  JCrew // Clutch:  Festivity // Jewels:  Stella&Dot, Max&Chloe, JCrew, Michael Kors

I had a little help cheering on the Gators.

Ikat :: Outfit

My first pair of C. Wonder cropped skinnies and I'm impressed.

Yes, the pattern makes a statement, but what is even better is that

these skinnies {made with a little stretch} kept their shape all day.

No pulling and tugging! I'm in love with the fit.

Pardon Me :: Outfit

October finally caught up with me and beat me. 

Towards the end of last week, I was fighting the flu big time.

Which explains my lack of quality posts lately~

after working all day, I had nothing left.

Over the weekend, I caught up on my Zzzzzss and

am feeling TONS better! I have a bottle of Echinacea to thank.

It works wonders!

Lately

 (1) New additions- black studded flats, JCrew leopard wedges, Target leopard crops and red flats

{I also snagged this cute ASOS peplum t-shirt.}

(2) Transitioning into fall with mixed prints, cardigans over peplum, and gingham with pencil skirts

(3) A new drop waist dress from Urban Outfitters, bright blue with a bit of orange for the Gator game, and a feature on my first IT list with Jill GG. 

(1) A trip down south for a wedding, to see my parents, and to enjoy time away!

(2) An after dinner ice cream cone, a trip to Jackson's in Nashville, and browsing new boots.

{After all, when in Nashville...}

The past two weekends, I've been out of town. While each trip was a blast, I am 

beyond excited to finally plant my feet in Atlanta for a weekend.  Maybe I'll get

around to finally carving a pumpkin or putting up a few fall decorations.

Stripes & Leopard :: Outfit

This past weekend, I combined two prints that have made quite

an appearance in my closet lately: stripes and leopard.

I've never been a huge leopard fan, but slowly tons of new 

pieces with this print have made a home on my racks. 

Many of my favorite stores have found a way to make

this print classy and timeless- it's been difficult telling myself no!

Just A Thought

We're almost there :: FRIDAY is tomorrow!!

Check back for Friday's Fancies and this week's IT list from Jill.

MacAlister :: Outfit

 I could not have been happier when I snagged these 

JCrew MacAlister calf hair wedges last week. 

They are definitely not the norm of what I would buy,

 but I've been eyeing them ever since I saw them here. 

I'll tell you a little secret :: I got lucky... really lucky.

Someone purchased them, had a change of heart,

 and posted them on Ebay.

My size sold out quickly on JCrew's website, so to find them again AND for a

 cheaper price was like a dream come true! 

Top:  Forever 21 // Jacket:  Banana Republic Outlet // 

Jeans:  Seven for All Mankind

Wedges:  JCrew

Check out The Pleated Poppy for more outfit ideas and posts.

Sapphire Hues :: Outfit

I'm in love with bright blues right now, so I was quite excited when 

I snagged this closet addition recently at Urban Outfitters.

Perfect for my first fall wedding of the season!

 

Dress:  Urban Outfitters // Shoes:  Loeffler Randall

We're on the road back to Atlanta today.

Back to the daily grind!

Hope you had a nice, FUN weekend.

Happy Monday!
