Quilted Leather + Blue Coat

Jacket: Old Navy; Scarf: Sole Society (similar); Quilted Leather Skirt: Banana Republic; Bag: H&M; Booties: Sole Society (also found at Marshall's)

I love a good coat for the fall and winter, especially if it's a unique color like this royal blue one from Old Navy for under $60. Add a leopard scarf and you can't go wrong. These suede booties and leopard scarf have been closet staples this fall and I've definitely gotten my use out of them. I actually found these booties at Marshall's (by Vince Camuto) for a lot less than Sole Society's but they're identical. Anyways, this weekend has been so relaxing and I'm about to start reading "Not That Kind of Girl" by Lena Dunham. I've heard good things about it so we'll see. One thing I've been wanting to try and improve upon is making time to read more... It's just so nice and calming! Do y'all have any good book recommendations?

Have a great Sunday!

Cozy in Camel

Camel Poncho; Ralph Lauren Riding Boots; J. Crew Denim; H&M Handbag; Old Navy Striped Turtleneck; Renegade Cluster Bracelet

One of my favorite things to wear in the fall and winter is a poncho... When I think of the word poncho, I think of walking around in the rain at Busch Gardens with a big plastic sheet over my body. But these days, ponchos have risen to stardom in the fashion world. You can find endless options of timeless ponchos in all patterns and materials at stores all over. TJ Maxx has a ton of cute ones but I found a pretty cheap option (and great quality!) at H&M the other day for less than $30. A favorite way to wear a poncho of mine is layering over a light long-sleeve turtleneck. It just looks and feels so cozy!

Hope y'all have a wonderful week!

Shades of Orange

Kate Spade Saturday Cut out Flare Dress; Audrey Brooke Ankle Strap Pumps; Accessory Jane Spiked Bracelet; Target Clear/Gold Bracelet

October and the color orange go hand in hand with one another. Most people automatically start thinking of shades of orange and maroon once October and November roll around and a feeling of warmth and coziness comes along with it. Unfortunately this week I've been immersing myself in a different shade of orange... Vitamin C chewables, clementines, orange juice, Emergen-C. It has been a busy past few weeks and it has taken a toll on the bod. Luckily, I have found this Kate Spade dress to brighten up my life and wore it to a wedding in Pinehurst, NC last weekend. You can say I was feeling 'pretty in the pines'. Of course, the day I decide to finally blog about it, the website sells out of them so I can't find it anywhere online anymore. Feel free to ebay away though and search 'Kate Spade Saturday Cut Out Flare Dress". You should still check out KS Saturday though because they have some great quality and stylish clothes.

PS- These DSW shoes are probably the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned and I plan to wear 'em again this weekend to a wedding. You can't pass up a cute pair of shoes that you can bust a move in.

Hope y'all have a great weekend!

Flannel Season

It got below 60 degrees this weekend; therefore, I declare it is flannel season. This blue and green flannel from Old Navy is one of my favorite flannel shirts I've ever seen. When it gets really cold, it's always a good idea to layer with a puffer vest too. This one I down below is actually from J. Crew last year so the color options are a little different now. I linked up a pretty ivory color and don't forget to check out these at J. Crew Factory to save a little money.

PS. If you've ever seen a Renegade Cluster Bracelet from Stella & Dot but didn't want to spend $60 on an elastic bracelet... look no more. Check this one out at Accessory Jane for less than $20!
