Fall Florals

(Dress-H&M, Shoes-Charlotte Russe, Vintage Sunglasses and Jewelry, Purse-Guess)

As fall nears, my go to outfit consists of a pretty dress and these boots. No matter what I pair them with, they work. Just high enough that I feel like I am wearing nice heels, but low enough that I can comfortably walk in all day. The gray is my absolute favorite color for fall. Also, the slits on this dress were a life saver today. Even though it was chilly in the morning, it was near 90 degrees in the afternoon. Another wonderful summer-to-fall transitioning piece. 
P.S.-I love this perfectly rustic barn as a background. 



Teddy Bear Love

Today was a bittersweet day. My best friend leaves for college in four days, and I am sad about that to say the least. We decided almost a year ago that before we left for school, six hours apart nonetheless, we would Build-A-Bear for each other. It was such a fun day, getting to be little kids again, picking out clothes, making a wish on the bear, and we even recorded personal messages for each other inside the cute little teddies.

(We even made t-shirts for them, with our school emblems. Personalization makes all the difference.)

All Tied Up

This morning, I had to drive to a doctors appointment so I didn't want anything too complicated. This ended up perfect for later in the day when I ran errands with my best friend. It got a little humid outside so the breezy shirt was perfect, especially when I tied it up in a cute knot. We stopped in a little cove in the woods and I had my friend take some quick outfit shots. Sorry if they are blurry! It was a very spur of the moment thing.

(The cross ring is a project I made in school this year. It's perfectly un-perfect and I wear it almost every day.) 



(A new hairstyle I tried today: the waterfall braid. It quick and cute, and keeps the hair out of my face all day.)
