Oversized Chic Cardigan

I've been a huge fan of over-the-knee boots for a long, long time.  The only problem I had was that most of them were so over-priced.  When I saw these suede OTK boots were under $45, I couldn't resist.  I picked them out to complete an outfit I was planning for a French Connection + Belk event last week which I will share more details about next week.  My goal was to put together an outfit with this gorgeous oversized wool cardigan. 

GNO at Belk with French Connection

Mark your calendars for this Thursday, October 8th! Join me for a Girl's Night Out at Belk in Crabtree Valley Mall with French Connection, Zelle (Southern Style), and Emily (Life with Emily).  There will be wine, a DJ, and more! The event will be from 5-9pm so feel free to stop by for as little or as long as you want for some girl time!

Fall Favorites

I always have a few fall favorites each year in my closet.  My favorites are typically things I can wear with an assortment of outfits... such as a neutral colored vest, some versatile denim,  a flowy long sleeved blouse, and  a great quality handbag.  You also can't do fall without a good pair of casual booties that you can wear with everything.

I hope everyone had a great weekend! It was a rainy one in my area but the rain stopped just for the few hours I had a wine tasting party at a local vineyard.  Yesterday was my birthday and I had the best birthday weekend! I'll share more details later on this week about the vineyard we visited.  Birthdays always make me feel so thankful and make me realize again and again how awesome my friends and family are. 

I also got to try out the Raleigh Beer Garden finally and it was pretty legit.  I will definitely be back there.  

Thanks for stopping by and hope you all have a good week!

Tweed & Plaid

A Weekend in Newport

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!
