Puppies!


Dress: Ross, Denim Jacket: Abercrombie & Fitch; Thrifted, Booties: Kmart, Belt: Thrifted, Necklace: Urban Outfitters, Watch: Fossil, Rings: Urban Outfitters






Last weekend, my Anthropologie hosted our annual Sit, Stay, Love pet adoption and supply drive event. The local SPCA came out and brought puppies for everyone's cuddling pleasure. I've been saving this dress for a special occasion and I figured a dog-centric event would be the perfect debut for this little terrier printed number. A lot of the other employees brought their furry friends out for a couple hours and I got my fill of doggy love. I almost brought a sweet little pup named Gale home with me but Luke dragged me out of there before I turned my apartment into a zoo (We already have fish, a mouse and a cat).

Falling


  


































Dress: Thrifted, Jacket: Abercrombie & Fitch; Thrifted, Boots: Rue 21, Belt: Ralph Lauren; Thrifted, Earrings: Forever 21 and Urban Outfitters, Watch: Fossil, Cameo ring: Antique; gift from Mom, Midi ring: Urban Outfitters








































Happy First Day of Fall! Autumn is probably my favorite season. I love the clothes, the food, the weather, and Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday. It's still pretty warm here so I can't bust out my tights and sweaters just yet, but I figured I could get away with some boots and light layers for now. I want to make a list of fall activities for Luke and I to do this season. I've already got a few things but I definitely need some more ideas, any suggestions?

I'm really excited for Halloween and I really want to thrift/DIY my costume again this year. That being said, I've already started working on getting some pieces together. I'm planning on going as Daisy from "The Great Gatsby" this year. I'm thinking of doing a tutorial about making my costume, so let me know if that's something you'd be interested in seeing. I hope you guys have a great Monday and I'll see you again soon!

Until Next Time,

Crayons


























Dress: Thrifted, Cardigan: Calvin Klein Jeans; Thrifted, Shoes: Charlotte Russe with DIY ankle strap, Watch: Fossil, Necklace and Rings: Urban Outfitters







































As soon as I saw this dress at the thrift store, I knew it was coming home with me. The print instantly reminded me of crayon lines and I thought that was really cool. The dearest ambition of 8-year-old me was to become a Crayola color namer. I used to spend most of my coloring time reading the names on the crayons and trying to come up with my own versions. Despite 14 years of aging and experiences, I still believe this is a viable career choice. I'm thinking "Totally Taupe" for the beigey colored stripe on this dress. Pretty good, huh?

Birds of a Feather





































Dress: Target, Belt: Thrifted, Shoes: Ross, Earrings: Gift from Luke, Watch: Fossil, Leather Bracelet: Gift from Dad, Clover Bracelet: Forever 21, Rings: Urban Outfitters







































Happy September everybody! Things have been pretty quiet around here, hence the little break I took there. I feel like I'm starting to fall into a kind of rut. I want to get back into blogging in the hopes that I'll start feeling inspired again. Anyone have any good rut-busting tips?

Anyway, Luke and I celebrated our fifth anniversary on Tuesday. He gave me the owl earrings I'm wearing in this post. I think they're absolutely perfect. Owls are my favorite bird and these are so pretty and delicate. I decided to keep the bird theme going in this outfit with my feather sandals. I have the strangest relationship with birds. I'm terrified by them but they completely fascinate me. They tend to show up in most of my writing and I love learning what they symbolize. I hope you guys have a great weekend and I'll see you soon!

Until Next Time,
