Weekend by the Lake Part 1

If you guys actively follow me on social media and saw my blog post last year (as seen here) you probably know that one of my favorite weekends of the year is spent with some of my closest friends up by the lake in Connecticut. The 6 of us have been best friends since we were 9 years old and now we have all incorporated significant others into the mix who have also become close. I treasure this weekend for so many reasons - the quiet and calm feeling up by the lake is something you ... View the Post

Bring on the Burgundy

Burgundy... by far my favorite color for the Fall. I love all rich gem tone hues but for some reason, burgundy is my go to. If you follow me on Instagram you probably noticed I can't stop posting anything and everything in this color. I think its such a gorgeous shade on a brunette or a blond, works well with denim and complements every skin tone. I kind of went all out with this look and kept it monochrome, but played with textures. Lace, Satin, Cashmere... all play a role and work so well ... View the Post

Burnt orange, terracotta, brick red/orange, mustard, etc. are all shades of the color that would pair back to black nicely. Find some of my favorites above. Happy Early Ween! x A ... View the Post

Off the Shoulder Sweater

I purchased this Sun & Shadow off the shoulder sweater a few months ago from Nordstrom knowing it would come in handy once the temps dropped. Off the shoulder is one of those trends that doesn't seem to be going anywhere... and I'm not really complaining about it! It is such a flattering shape that can be dressed up or down, and in this case - what's better than an oversized off the shoulder sweater to wrap yourself up on a cold day! Another Fall trend that I'm loving and happen to feature ... View the Post

NYFW RewardStyle Party

Just wanted to post this outfit before it gets too cold and unrealistic, although it would look just as cute with a cropped leather or suede oxblood jacket! Here is a lost look I wore to the RewardStyle / Liketoknow.it party for NYFW! It was so much fun being able to meet so many amazing bloggers and see the amazing looks everyone put together. I've been really into midi skirts recently, its a look I know a lot of petite girls like me probably think they can't wear but I am here to prove you ... View the Post
