Happy Halloween!
I couldn't be more happy that it's finally the weekend and that we gain an hour of sleep!

Tonight I will be spending my Halloween with these boys. I cannot cannot wait!

[Fashion] Fall Styling Tips

Sweaters, hoodies, boots, tights... Sure, you might think of these basic things when you think fall fashion. But today, I'm going to show you some playful and unexpected things to try this season! The last thing we need is boring in the coming chilly months - so spice things up with these fall essentials::

1. Thigh High Boots

Higher, higher, higher. Try thigh high boots this season for an unexpected, lady-like look. Pick a simple, wearable boot to pair with a modest hemline. Keyword: Modest!

Smart Choice:
$185 Jeffrey Campbell Over The Knee Boot available here.

2. Purple

Purple is all over the place this season - but I'm especially loving this eggplant color! I've found that this color really looks great on most skin tones, too!

Smart Choice:
$38 Solid Boyfriend Cardigan available here.

3. Military Jacket

The military look is HUGE for fall... I mean, huge! Pair it with some skinny jeans and a simple blouse. This jacket makes a statement enough on its own!

Smart Choice:
$37.80 Bell Hop Blazer available here.
{I also have some cute, affordable options available on Troubadour Vintage}

4. Bold & Patterned Tights

Buy yourself a great pair {or three... or four!} of tights this fall! Such an inexpensive, smart way to add a "pop" to your wardrobe. Don't be afraid to try something brighter {bold red is in!} and play with textures.

Smart Choice:
$14 Open Crochet Tight available here.

{Gasp} Interiors


Ohhh my! I was browsing through the colorful Simply Hue blog for some visual inspiration and {of course} stumbled upon plenty of it! Wow is all I can say... The interior styling by Atlanta Bartlett is out of this world. I love her relaxed style and effortless blend of vintage and modern pieces. May this sublime design inspire you today!

Nicholas K

I'm finally coming up for air as I have been working around the clock on some design jobs... had a great time but am thankful that they are finished! I've got a fun event coming up this weekend {that I was working on these for} and a couple trips to look forward to in November.

Today I am helping out at a friend of mine's gorgeous boutique, Habit - drooling over the newest sweaters from Nicholas K and Brochu Walker. How fabulous is this fall collection from Nicholas K? I'll take one of everything, please...

[Lost In Time]

It's been one crazy week... I've been prepping for a big set design job that I'm doing - having lots of fun but a little overwhelmed with everything that needs to be done! I'm also going to be styling a music video, helping my friend at her adorable boutique and shopping for another set design gig that I'll be a part of next week {photos coming soon}!

For now, I'm letting myself get lost in these beautiful photos by Ella May. Don't they just look so happy and carefree? That's the world I want to be in right now!
