i never met a pumpkin i didn’t like.

living in chambray.

if j.crew has taught me anything, it’s that you can never own or wear too much denim/ chambray. i honestly didn’t own any chambray tops until this year, but i love how versatile this one is. i wore this outfit to work. i feel sort of silly sharing work outfits because they are not 100 % my style, more like a mixture of me +…

coffees & cable knit cardigans.

hello fellow fashion lovers 🙂 i wore this to work the other day even though i felt it may be too “vintage” for j.crew’s taste. i absolutely adore the festive pattern of the skirt, and the cobalt blue sweater makes every outfit more “fall.” i was giggling with a customer yesterday over whether or not fall colors and fall “fashion rules” apply to us here…

there were bells on a hill, but i never heard them ringing.

these amaaazing polka dotted pants came in the mail from motel rocks yesterday, and i immediately put them on. i swear i’ve never loved pants even close to as much. They are perfectly high waisted and stretchy enough to be cozy. it’s been getting down to the 70s at night (i know, “SO COLD”) but i am a big baby and always wear fall clothes anyway…
