Falling for Fall...

I LOVE SHOPPING!!!

As every other woman on this planet does. But I'm honestly just now finding myself fashion-wise. I'm beginning to develop my own ideas of wants and dislikes.. and putting together outfits in my head when i see pieces that I like. Prior to this..... my boyfriend dressed me!... No seriously... Not all the time but most of the time. He has a pretty good sense of fashion and he can put together an outfit!!!! LOL.

All that being said... Over the passed few years Fall has become my favorite season. I love it because of the endless possibilities with layering... I love scarves... And honestly its the beginning of the holiday season which I just love in general.. ESPECIALLY in NYC. && even though spring is big on layering... I love fall colors more. 

Soooo some of my fall basics this year...


Scarves - I used to HATE wearing scarves.... but now the fashion aspect of them appeals to me... they're more of an accessory for me honestly.. than thinking about the suffocating warmth aspect of it... LOL

I am definitely like an elementary school kid when it comes to fall/winter accessories... im constantly losing scarves... Forever 21 has plenty of cute ones for under $15 bucks though that helps to ease the pain (slightly) when the scarf monster (relative of the sock monster) swoops in and steals from me. 

 
 Cardigans - Because is it even possible to layer without them??

I love all kinds of sweaters but this Boyfriend Cardigan (left) and "Cozy" Cardigan both grabbed my attention when I was doing some (not needed) online shopping... Courtesy of Forever 21.com

Jackets - Its not cold enough (hopefully) for a full blown coat but you might need that extra layer. 

*FYI*.. every year I suffer the leather jacket struggle.. I can never find one cute (read:cheap) enough that I want to spend the money on and that fits comfortably.... sooo any ideas would be helpful in that department!!!

Admittedly... Im a big under-dresser when it comes to outerwear so this peacoat (Left- Victoria Secret) is probably something I'd wear all throughout winter also... I'd just add more layers underneath for pretend warm! Both of these utility jackets (Center - Forever 21, Right - BCBGeneration) are super cute too. 

And Shoes simply because I'm a woman.. and we all need endless endless pairs of shoes.... =)

Cowboy Boots (left- Justfab.com 'Roca'), Moccassins (Top Middle- Minnetonka) and Combat Boots (Top Right - Steve Madden 'Troopa') have all been my go to shoes in the past. I just took an interest in wedge sneakers (bottom right - Steve Madden 'Hilight') recently and im excited to see how well I pull them off with different outfits this coming season.

SOOOOOO .... what are some of your fall necessities/favorite places to shop for fall basic pieces??

Labor Day Weekend!.

I have a love/hate relationship with Labor Day.

For one thing... I live in NYC.... so anyone who knows anything about Labor Day weekend in NYC you know it can get a little cray cray.

When I was younger (cause I'm soooo much older now) I loved it. Who doesn't love having a carefree weekend... food/dancing/alcohol... a teenage girls dream! But NOW.... I'm not a fan... I honestly spend the 24 hours between Sunday night and Monday night

• wondering if my boyfriend is alive because I choose to refrain from the parade festivities, phones barely work on the parkway, and fun/violence become synonymous every year around this time.
• hoping no one else I know gets hurt
• wishing I could just go shopping and no one else was in the mall for the sales (I know that's completely unrelated to everything going on LOL... but who doesn't love clothing?!?!)

I'm all for family functions and doing things of the safe nature... LOL... but I'm not into the craziness anymore. I don't understand why people aren't able to have fun without the violence. Before 10pm my grandmother was already telling me about a BABY getting shot... seriously?!.. *sighs*... 

so yea... ill stay inside... plus I work usually anyway. lol

Hey, Remember When You Used to Blog?

My boyfriend says to me the other night.

&& I was all hey I remember that, why'd I stop?
&& I couldn't muster up one good reason within myself.

Because I didn't have one. Truthfully I love blogging. I loved the outlet that it gave me when I felt like venting. && I loved the community (however small) I was starting to build. So I'm back. Coincidentally, the day classes restart, when class was my excuse for not blogging last semester. But I'm back forreal. Promise.

I missed you guys =)
