Fall Fashion: Vests

Fall Fashion: Vests 
Vests are one of my must haves during the fall. They are perfect to layer on days that are chilly but aren't cold enough for a heavy jacket. For this look I paired a light vest with a button down shirt and a tapestry inspired skirt. I love how all the colors came together to create a rich fall color palette. This look is perfect for going to class on a nice fall day. Personally, I think wearing skirts is easier then throwing on a pair of sweats and a sweatshirt. Also, they are just as comfy! 

I paired this look with my favorite pair of fall boots at the moment. They are in between a bootie and a tall boot so they go with skirts, dresses, and pants. Then I wore one of my favorite J Crew statement necklaces to complete the look. 



This vest from Old Navy is a great dupe for the famous J Crew vests. They are around $30 and are a great piece to have in your fall wardrobe! I got mine on sale later in the year so be on the look out for a deal!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks!!!!

It's that time of year...... 
My Nordstrom Anniversary Sale must haves! 
So, it is that time of year again! Aka the best time of the year. I love the Nordstrom sale because you can get a lot of things that normally don't go on sale for a discounted price! Such things include designer shoes, handbags, and tons of fun jewelry. I have been shopping this sale since as long as I can remember. Since my family is avid Nordstrom shoppers we get early accesses to the sale. So, here are some of my favorites from the sale that you can see early!

 

Kendra Scott earrings ON SALE! 
Ummm this is huge. I have been wanting these earrings for a while now but they are a little expensive in my opinion and usually don't go on sale. But the sale has them for only $33.90 compared to a normal $50. So, these are a pretty good deal! They have lots of gorgeous fall colors but these two are my favorites for sure. 


Monogram madness!
Who doesn't love a good monogram? Well Nordstrom has a ton for this sale which is a new thing for them! Very exciting news. Here are three of my favorite monogram items. I love this simple little Kate Spade necklace. Its super dainty and you could layer it with other pieces super easily. 
I have a new found love of tortoise shell so I am obsessed with this bangle. 
Then a classic monogram necklace on sale? Sign me up! This monogram necklace is around $80 which is a pretty good price compared to most nice monogram necklaces. 

 
L to R: Tory Burch ($150), BP ($80), Sam Edelman ($130)

New kicks. 
Shoes are a major thing I purchase at the sale. Here are my top three that I am going to be looking at. Tory Burch flats on sale are a rare species. They have both an all silver and an all gold pair on sale for $150! I am thinking about the gold ones! Then I am in need of black boots and a pair of booties for "going out". So, here are my two favorites. Both of these boots come in a bunch of different colors. 
Boat shoe bonanza!
I love my Sperrys! They have a few super cute styles for the sale and I think they are all Nordstrom exclusives. These were my favorite pair. I like the tradition style of the shoe but it has the gold cord as a fun accent. 



Time crunch. 
Watches are also a great thing to buy at this sale. They have Kate Spade and Michael Kors watches on sale which are hard to find. Here are my top two. I have been wanting a tortoise shell watch so this might be the one I end up getting! 

 

L: House of Harlow 
R: Kate Spade


Baublebar 

Its an ear thing. 
Who doesn't love a fun earring? Well here are three earrings that I am in love with. Two are more simple studs then the other is a great statement earrings. All of these earrings come in multiple colors plus are all under $30! 

 

Neck candy. 
Here are also two necklaces I am loving. One is a bold statement piece and the other is more understated. 


Fun phone case. 
I love myself a new phone case. For $25 I might have to pick up this Kate Spade one. They have two other styles on sale as well!

Summer Style: Cool Backpacks

Not just for school! 
There have been super cute backpacks EVERYWHERE it seems! Designers are stepping up their backpack game I guess. But these super stylish bags are great for other things besides school. Some are dual purpose, changeable, and just straight up cute. These stylish backpacks are great for walking around on a summer day, going to the beach, or holding your essentials to you summer job or internship. Here are some of my personal favorites I have seen! 


{There is a backpack for every style! From girly, preppy, to edgy a sac is available for every girl this summer.}

OOTD: Aqua Maxi

Deep in blue
Recently I have been wearing this aqua color a lot. I'm not sure why but I seem to be gravitating towards it! This OOTD features a aqua sheer maxi skirt paired with a simple striped crop top. I love this look because it is more simple then what I normally wear. It was a great outfit for grabbing some breakfast with a friend. For accessories I kept it pretty simple and just wore a pair of statement earrings from Baublebar. I have gotten a lot of use out of these earrings! They are great because they are black, grey, and white so they go with a lot of looks. Not to mention they are pretty neutral so I wear them a lot. For my other accessories I kept it with my everyday bangles and watch. My bag is a recent purchase that I did a post on! My shoes are simple sandals that have both gold and silver. These are my go-to sandal and they are super comfortable. They are from Target and might I say Target makes a great sandal! I always get mine on super clearance for around $7-$9.

Preppy Diaries: Knotted Up

All tied up!
For this look I decided to layer my denim short sleeve shirt over this white lace dress. The dress kind of acts as a skirt in a way. To achieve this look I simply just tied the bottom of my shirt into a knot and placed it a little above my hips. I love the look it creates! I paired my layered pieces with simple gold accessories including gold bow earrings, a pearl bracelet, and a few Alex and Ani bangles of course. For shoes I wore a neutral pair of Sperry Top-Siders that have gold detailing. It was super hot this day so I decided to go straight to a high sleek pony tail. I love styling my hair like this when it is super hot. It keeps down the frizz!

OOTD: Inner Hippie

Alter ego? 
Sometimes I like to mix up my style from my normal preppy looks and do something a little more edgy or boho. This outfit is one of those days! I got this super cute maroon tulle dress at a boutique in Iowa when I was visiting my friend. It is super fun and playful and can be styled in a lot of different ways. For this look I decided to keep it more edgy. To keep myself warm I layered the dress with an embroidered denim button down. It has a slight tribal pattern which gives the look a little edge. To make it seem not so oversized I tied the sides up into little nots. I love doing this because it keeps the shirt out of your way and makes it a little more girly. For jewelry I layered a short necklace and a very long chain. The chain has jewels that range in colors then the short necklace is a single spike dagger situation. For shoes I simply wore a pair of gold and silver sandals from Target. 

However, my hair is what really makes the look a little more not myself! I decided to try and mix up the normal messy bun that morning. So, I made two pigtails super close to each other on the top of my head. Then I teased both pig tails then wrapped the hair around the elastic band to create two textured buns. I slightly pushed them together to create a kind of combined bun look. At first I didn't know how it would turn out but it actually looks super cute, messy, and playful. Normally I am a very slick sleek bun, mainly because I danced for 14 years (I have to have everything neat!), so this was definitely a change for my hair!
