Pumpkin Spice

My absolute favorite thing about fall is pumpkin everything, especially lattes. I'm not a frequent coffee drinker but I've been getting them at least 5 days a week. So this post is dedicated to my favorite things about fall: pumpkin lattes, jackets and cozy socks.

I've been practicing my jumping pose but I've still got some work to do with my face mid-jump. So obviously the only sensible thing to do is replace my face with a cat's.

Bad Girls Do It Well

     This outfit is pretty different from my everyday style. I've been listening to/channeling a lot of M.I.A and Azealia Banks lately, so the saddle shoes+cardigans just didn't feel right. I bought this moto jacket recently and have been dying to wear an outfit that fully encapsulates the badass I feel like/AM when I wear it. I probably wouldn't wear the sports bra in public because I'd feel really exposed which is not something I'm used to or comfortable with. But it was fun to pretend in the comfort of my backyard!
     I used to wear these pink docs nearly every day when I was in high school, but for the last year and a half I've primarily been wearing saddle shoes. I loved walking down the hallways in these docs; I felt like I could crush anyone who even looked at me funny. It's weird how simple things like shoes or a badass jacket can alter your mood and make you feel invincible. Anyway, this shoot was really fun and ~empowering~ so it's clear that I need to  channel M.I.A into my everyday style/attitude.

Ghosts of Outfits Past

I've been really busy lately with school and whatnot, so I haven't really made the time to take pictures. I did wear a really cute outfit the other day and get a new jacket, so I should have new posts soon! For the sake of posting something I decided to do a short post on outfits I've worn in the past.

White Collar

This is an outfit I wore over the weekend. It was a result of pure laziness, but I like the result! I slept in those socks because they're so warm and cozy, and I knew I didn't want to wear pants (like practically every other day of my life) so I just threw on the first dress I found and a cardigan. I took a few photos but thought the outfit was missing something, so I added a DIY collar I made back in July and hadn't gotten around to wearing. They're really simple to make; you can follow this tutorial by Rookie for a quick DIY or this if you want to sew a collar yourself.

My dress looks a bit weird in the second photo because I tied the straps in the back so my neckline lined up with my collar.

I always like the way the blurry ones come out best

Collar- DIY

Dress- Marshalls

Cardigan- Gap

Socks- Steve Madden

I've been singing this song the whole time I was making this post.

Holly Fulton SS RTW 2013

      I still haven't fully caught up on all the shows (or at least my favorites) from Fashion Week, and I've only caught glimpses of London and Paris shows, but so far I have to say my favorite collection of the season is Holly Fulton's! Pastel colors and fresh prints are always a favorite of mine so this collection was practically made for me. The blue plastic jacket with rosette beading is probably my favorite piece (it's so hard to pick!). It is everything my nine-year-old self dreamed of wearing. Clearly my taste hasn't changed much because I'd wear it in a heart beat if I had the chance today. The beading work is impeccable; I actually thought it was hand-painted from far away!

      I'm also obsessed with the naked-lady print. It's reminiscent of Miu Miu SS RTW 2012 (one of my all-time favorite collections), but I think I actually prefer this print. I love the chevron illusion it creates from far away, but then you get a closer look and see the print is made of tiny nude pin up girls! I've been thinking about it at least three times a day ever since I viewed the collection.

      Although the clothes are amazing, my favorite thing about the collection is that Fulton was inspired by sixties skateboarder/all-around badass Patti McGee! McGee was the first female to skateboard professionally. I am all about strong female icons as fashion inspiration and Fulton executes it perfectly.

If it were possible to marry a print this would be the one.

Loved the bright two-toned lipstick and braided crown!

Look how adorable the manis were!

The muse Patti McGee

Edit: I've been staring at the plastic rosette jacket and dress for at least ten minutes ad I'm not sure if the roses are beading as I mentioned. I'm actually not sure what it is at all haha. Doesn't matter, whatever it is it's perfect.

Best Witch

 I took these when I got back from Target, so they came out kind of dark. I really liked this outfit, primarily because it feels like I'm wearing pajamas and secondly because it's cute. Nothing too special, so it'll probably be my go-to outfit this fall when I'm running late (so always) or just too lazy (also always).

I love how versatile the idea behind the outfit is. I got the idea from the girl in this photo. I have the same dress, and when I saw how cute hers looked over a button down blouse it's like I had a huge epiphany. I have no idea why I never tried layering my dresses before, but now I feel like the possibilities are endless! Which means I'll be wearing various versions of this look all fall.

Also, special thanks to my mom for buying me the coolest and most accurate ribbon. Kind of ruined the photo so I'll take a better one next time (it says "Best Witch" if you can't see it clearly).

My yard is a mess. I have no idea whose mattress that is.

Audrey Horne Vibes

Finally got around to setting up this blog after putting it off for so long. I never have time to take pictures because I'm always running late for something, never bring my camera with me and by the time I get back home all I want to do is take off my clothes and slip into something more comfortable aka a ratty t-shirt not sexy lingerie . Enough of the excuses though!

Heere's an outfit I put together a few days ago. So excited that it's finally chilly enough to wear sweaters again! Loved the Audrey Horne vibes I was getting from my sweater+skirt+saddle shoes combo.

skirt- ??? I've had it since middle school
