Blue Crush

The Reformation sweater | Vintage jeans (similar) | Dolce Vita coat (another print) | Joie loafers 

If it isn't obvious, I sort of love blue- in any shade, shape or form. I picked up this Reformation turtleneck sweater during Black Friday sales- it's one of the coziest sweaters I own. The sweater isn't super snug so I love to layer it over longer tees and under jackets. Since this whole outfit is monochromatic, it's fair to say that I have a blue crush (;

Loafers & Slip Ons

I would like you to meet my favorite shoe: the slip on. I've always love a nice suede or velvet loafer, but something about a sporty chic slip on holds a place in my heart. Of course, you can go for the classic creators of the slip on; Vans but there are some other amazing options out there. For example the suede Celines ones are perfection but a pair from Zara can be pretty swell for a fraction of the cost. I have my eye on these Joie ones: the color and the details are flawless and not to mention the fit- I tried them on last week. A pair of leopard ones are kinda awesome as well...

My birthday is in t-minus 1 week! I get giddy every year when the 6th rolls around because it means I'm one year older and with one more of year of memories, achievements, and wisdom. It also means that I can eat an absurd amount of sweets and I wont be judged. I would love to know if you would like anything special for your birthday! If you haven't entered the J.Crew giveaway I'm hosting- go here! It's only going for a couple more days. Have a wonderful Sunday.

Fall Styling // J.Crew Classics Part 1

       J.Crew Chambray // J.Crew Denim vest // Rag & Bone jeans (old)

 // Joie loafers // Marc by Marc Jacobs sunglasses

Happy Tuesday! I am still in shock it's already September- and I start school tomorrow. Crazy! To kick of fall fashion, my blogger bud Caroline from citrus & style and I will be styling two of our favorite J.Crew pieces. Today, we are wearing the infamous chambray shirt which is a definite must for everyone.  

There is countless ways to style the shirt. Here,I went for more of a casual look. I love to play with the different denim washes of the top, vest, and jeans for a cool look. If you will be rocking head to toe denim, it's key to have different washes. Overall, the chambray shirt can be dressed up and dressed down. Be sure to see how Caroline styled her chambray shirt! Stay tuned to next week to see what J.Crew classic we style next- it's going to be good!  

Btw-isn't the view from the lighthouse at Castle Hill in Newport amazing? Be sure to check the blog tomorrow for a recap of my last summer weekend.  

Back-To-School

As much as I love summer, I am not sad to leave it by the time Back to School season comes around. Above are the items that I make sure to repurchase or have on hand every year- ex. 1,2,4- and items that I have my eye on for this year. I love restocking my desk with pretty paper and pens and adding chic jackets and sweaters to my closet! Leave a comment below telling me what other BTS posts you would like to see!

1: A chic backpack- I love this one from Herschel Supply Co.

2: Pretty notepads- Design Darling has an excellent collection!  They make a desk look 10 times better.

3: Easy footwear- Bright flats and ankle boots are my go-to picks. 

4: Gold jewelry- Can make any outfit more streamlined and polished! Check out Julie Vos here and my favorite watch here!

5: Colorful pouches- Ideal for keeping everything in your backpack/locker/gym bag organized! I love these (shown above) and these!

6: Everyday jacket- The army jacket is an essentials for Fall. Enough said.

8: T-Shirt dress- Wear day to night, week day to weekend, and in every season! Splendid's are my favorite.

I have been mixing prints way more often. I love a classic color scheme with mixed prints; like this look I wore last month. Having a color scheme is important for mixing prints, here I wore all blues and navy. I added a small pop of color with a scarf around my bag. Mixing prints is also about being creative. In this case, I'm actually wearing a romper with a printed v-neck sweater over! Hope you are having a good weekend!
