It Finally Feels like Fall

As Fall weather finally comes to Boston I am more than ready.

If I had a daily uniform it would always include some type of sweater or cardigan, my favorite temperature is somewhere around 66 degrees, not to mention the taste of pumpkin spice lattes.  My daily walk down Newbury consists of multiple stops to window-shop and countless price tag checks. 

This outfit is one of many that I could live in, and the flats... total steal and they look so posh!  I'm sure they will make more appearances. 

not so smooth transition

Fall should be here but clearly the weather here in Boston has been confused.  With a high of 89 degrees today, it was not a day for a fall inspired outfit.   I tried my best, but with the sun beaming down it was even too warm for my hair!  This I paired a quarter sleeve jersey knit dress with a denim vest and some Minnetonka sandals for a touch of fall (similar).  I then added a light blue floral necklace that i absolutley adore, my usual watch, and a gold link bracelet.

While I await the cooler weather I have plenty of time to shop for new fall pieces.  

What can you not live without this fall?

transition: summer dress

For those summer dresses your just not get ready to part with, 

put a sweater on it! 

This dress was one of my summer favorites and so easy to pair with multiple sweaters because of the simplicity of the colors (this or this).  I picked up the bright pink sweater from H&M ages ago (similar) and i'm glad to still be rocking it!  This outfit was comfortable for sight seeing and added some brightness to an already sunny day.  In my eyes the outfit was not complete without a big necklace. So I added one to pull it all together. The one i'm wearing is from Francesca's but I also like this!

Mystic Magic

This past weekend off called for a bit of exploration.  After a relaxing day in Providence we decided to take a day trip to Mystic, Connecticut.  While on the way we brainstormed things to do: visit the aquarium, play mini golf, or sightsee.  It was a beautiful day and just happened to be Mystics' "Taste of Mystic", a food festival.  Being a lover of food I was too excited to taste Mystic!

 We snacked on lobster mac and cheese (pictured above), jerk chicken, and Del's Lemonade.  Relaxing by the water was nice.  Mystic was the perfect example of a quaint town, nothing like our usual city lifestyle, it was nice to take in the fresh air and enjoy the weekend off.

I was also excited to explore new places for photos. 

Stay tuned for an outfit post from my trip to Mystic!

    

color(fall)

I started this fall transition with a tee in a bright summer color, 

and a fun patterned light summer scarf!

The light ripped denim adds a laid back feel,

too add the first touch of fall I put on some cute studded booties.

To pull the look together I added a soft, oversized cardigan.  

The perfect touch of early fall. 

I am so in love with this outfit!  It's amazing how a quick cardigan and booties can really make an outfit fall ready.  Theres nothing better than bright colors and I am simply not ready to let them go!

sassy sneakers

While traveling to Providence a comfy outfit was needed.  I'm not much of a sweatpants or sweatshirt girl, but a nice pair of jeggings are the perfect alternative.  Not to mention, some sassy sneakers... that I am IN LOVE with! (in my August fav's)  They are the perfect shoe for a stylish laid back day.  I am also loving this Piko brand shirt from No Rest for Bridget (online store opening soon) but you can find them here for now!  They are the ultimate shirt: soft, forgiving, and long enough to wear with leggings. Stay tuned for another Fall transition coming soon
Thanks always,

falling for floral

Finally, an actual outfit!  I have finally got the time courage and boyfriend's cooperation to take some pictures.  For my first post I think the pictures came out pretty well.  I had a lot of fun and it was exciting that my boytoy was enjoying it as well.  As fall comes I thought it would be fun for some transition outfits, so this is one!  These light ripped jeans (that I love) remind me of summer.  Pairing them with a silk floral pattern blouse adds a fall touch to the outfit.
