Boots

My absolute favorite thing about fall is waring boots, without a doubt.  My fall uniform is basically a sweater, jeans, and boots.  There are so many different types of boots so there are defiantly a pair for everyone! 

1. Moto Boots - They can add a little bit of edginess to any outfit.  Love how classic these look with the quilted detailing!

2. Riding Boots - A staple in any girls wardrobe, these go perfect with sweaters in the fall.

3. Black Leather Boots - Probably the boots that I wear most often, these will go with any outfit!

4. Rain Boots - A basic black pair can be worn with your cozy sweater and leggings on a rainy day.

5. Ankle Boots - Also called booties, these are perfect for your girls night out or date night!

6. Combat Boot - Lastly, these are great if you want a more grungy, rocker-chic outfit.

Back to School: First Day Outfit

Picking out the first day of school outfit is always stressful.  You want to come back to school looking great, and be noticed for all the right reasons.  It's hard picking out an outfit that looks polished, appropriate, put-togehter - but not like you tried too hard.  Here are some ideas of what I've been looking at for first day outfits.

I really love these lace shorts.  This outfit looks so effortlessly put together with a simple tank.

These shorts are beyond adorable!  If I can find a similar pair, I think they could make a really cute outfit!

I love the knitwear in this outfit!  I feels slightly more fall (which I cannot wait for!) with the sweater.

This outfit is really casual but denim shorts with a nice white blouse and sandals could look really cute!

I really love the navy lace shorts in this outfit!  They look really nice with a plain white button-up oxford.

Lastly, this outfit is the most simple and casual out of all of them, but there is something so great about denim shorts and a striped top.  This can defiantly be dressed up with sandals and some jewelry.

What does your usual first day of school outfit entail?

Interior Inspiration {desks}

Lately I've been wanting to change up my desk area.  As school is quickly approaching, I will definitely be spending a lot of time at my desk.  I figured that a new, chic study area will be the perfect incentive to study hard this year!  Here's what I've been looking at!

Sparkle

Sequins and glitter have always been something that I've gravitated towards ever since I could remember.    I mean what girly-girl doesn't love some sparkle?

I've recently scored these Steve Madden flats at Nordstrom during the anniversary sale for about 40% off! 

My friends always ask me how I could wear such sparkly shoes.  I do have to admit, I own a few (okay more then a few) pairs of glittery shoes.  From sneakers to heels, I just love the effect a sparkly shoe can add to an outfit!

I don't think sparkly shoes are that hard to wear, especially in a subtle color like black.

The key is to wear them with a solid, simple outfit.

But for those of you who are a little hesitant, here a few fall outfits (because there are literally like three more weeks before summer ends ) I would wear with sparkly shoes!

Outfit 1 - This outfit is super simple and can be worn as casual during the day and dressed up at night.  Black and white is a timeless pairing.

Necklace - Bauble Bar

Bottoms - Forever 21

Shoes - Nordstrom

Outfit 2 - This outfit is perfect for a night out!  I love how the super fun wedges look with a more structured blazer.  And the color of these pants are beautiful - jewel tones are really in for fall!

Shop!

Jacket - Zara

Top - Banana Republic

Bottoms - J.Crew

Shoes - Saks Fifth Avenue

Outfit 3 - This outfit is extremely casual and perfect for those days when you don't really feel like dressing up.  It's also really comfy - jeggings and a cable knit sweater paired with a large scarf.  If I had $500 to splurge on sneakers, I would buy these Jimmy Choo high tops in a heartbeat.

Scarf - Zappos.com

Bottoms - Bloomingdales

Shoes - Net-A-Porter

Outfit 4 - Lastly, I don't really wear boat shoes in the fall/winter.  However I feel that these sparkly Sperry's can be an exception.  I love how these silver glitter shoes go with the cranberry chords and oversized gray sweater.

End of Summer To-Do List

I can't believe how quickly the end of summer is approaching!  With only four weeks (exactly!) left of summer, I'm literally freaking out.  I'm extremely anxious about starting my junior year of high school.  Trying to ease my anxiety about starting school, I want to make sure that I fill the rest of what's left of summer with fun and exciting things to do!  I made a list of all the things I need to do before school starts and my life ends.

1. Go to the beach a few more times!

2. Do a little back to school shopping at the best boutiques in SoHo.

3. Volunteer more!

4. Run a 5k!

5. Have a backyard camp fire {with s'mores of course!} and catch up with good friends before the craziness starts.

What do you want to accomplish before summer ends?

Back to School: Monogramed Madness

Back to school shopping is the only thing that gets me through the transition from summer to school.  There is nothing I love more than shopping for school supplies.  There's something about starting a new year with new stuff that gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling inside (completely not normal - I know).
Anyway, speaking of new stuff for school, I love monogramming my stuff.  It's the perfect way to add a touch of personalization and fun to your school supplies!  Below are just a few items that you can monogram and personalize for back to school!

Shop!

1. Laptop/iPad Case

2. Agenda
3. Pencil/Cosmetic Case

4. Jewelry Case

5. Tumbler

What are your favorite monogrammed items?
