 My love for mb art studios grows stronger with each new plate that I purchase. I started this obsession with a Mother's Day gift last year and continue to find little reasons to keep on ordering. I'm always looking for sentimental gifts for my girlfriends, and you can't go wrong with a handmade, dainty dish, with pretty words, that can be used to display pretty jewels.

If you haven't yet, you must check out this Etsy Shop!

Fall Wish List

Where do I begin? Fall fashion gets me so excited, but then I remember that I live in the South, and a lot of the pieces I'm lusting over are not weather appropriate. When I remember that, I go from excited to sad. Boy do I miss the Fall.

I could not be more happy that leather is back and bigger than ever. I've been grabbing everything with leather details and have scored some great detailed tees from Banana Republic. Don't let your leather addiction rob your bank account!

Baseball jackets are so cool. I used to rock one throughout high school for my varsity swim team. Not for fashion — at all, but I do love them! I opted for a slightly discrete silk navy and black jacket by Equipment.

Mixing navy and black should never be unfashionable. The key is to make sure it's known that you are aware of the clash of colors. If you are a little apprehensive about the color mixture, try it in an accessory first!

All Fall Everything

I have to apologize for my lack of blogging. The real world has taken over my life and blogging was, unfortunately, pushed to the side. But, I'm back and just in time for my favorite time of year– Fall fashion!

I can't get enough of the catalogs and magazines with the new styles for Fall. I'm currently loving the mix of navy and black, leather details (on just about everything), flared skirts, baseball jackets, and, of course, lace. As for colors, black, white, navy, dark green, and maroon are on my radar.

Here is some inspiration. Don't forget to follow my pins.

Casual Color

Madewell Skirt + Tee, mark. Clutch c/o, Chan Luu Bracelets

This bright number is so much fun to wear. I usually stay away from orange shades because of my skin tone, but this bright pop of color forced me to step outside my comfort zone. It's perfect for those casual, hot days where clothes are not wanted but, unfortunately, required. This Madewell tee is so soft too! It's oversized and feels like linen!

Hope you have a great week! :)

Pleather

Anthropologie Skirt, Joie Tank, Rebecca Minkoff Clutch, Chan Luu Necklace, Sequin Cuff c/o, Coach Wedges

I've gotten so much wear out of this skirt. It serves as the perfect neutral in my closet. I dress it up for a night out with silk blouses and wedges and wear it during the day with graphic tees and flat sandals. It truly doesn't disappoint. I recommend it to anyone looking for a flirty, versatile piece to add to their wardrobe. 

Spotted

Anthropologie Dress + Wedges, Sequin Cuff c/o, Calypso Bag

This dress is the perfect blend of style and comfort. Its effortless material and free flowing spirit is easy to wear and doesn't require much fuss. I kept my accessories simple (for once) and just rocked an oversized clutch and fringe bag.

Also, I apologize for my lack of blogging this week. I'm starting a new job, which requires trainings, meetings, planning, and decorating. As a new teacher, I'm a tad overwhelmed. Bare with me. There are more outfits to come!
