My New View.

I have been very busy this past week, and haven't had alot of time to snap outfit pictures. In the mean time I have been loving my recent outfits so I wanted to find a way to capture the outfit. I have been playing around with my camera on my phone, so I don't have to drag out the tripod.. and I think I came up with a nice substitute for the mean time.

It is easier to take these photos with my phone because it is quick and easy, and I can edit them with an app I use. I love how my silver flats look agents the driveway! 

These are all complete LOFT outfits.

All I Can Say Is That I Love Fall...

I love this season!! I love tights, and layering, and the colors, and all that it has to offer! Well.. I guess except the freezing cold mornings..

I saw this dress featured on another blog and I had to buy it right away. I love how the neutral colors look together, and that it has sleeves so I don't always have to wear a sweater over it. This will be a great piece for the season, I just bought two pairs of textured tights to go along with it too!

Dress: Macy's

Shoes: LOFT

Behind the Scenes

Okay, so you have your dress, cardi, and flats.. what's next?

I have been trying to concentrate on adding on to my outfits because I have been recycling my pieces more frequently. I am learning it is alot easier to invest in a new scarf, clutch, necklace or new shade of eye shadow to your wardrobe to spice up your already loved closet. (But now I have the challenge to not invest in them all at once!)

I have been going through my accessories and making sure I add that statement piece to my outfit, and reminding my self that less is more. Add a scarf with sparkle to it or a red lip to complete your look. Throw on a giant piece of jewelry, and have it be your only piece. I have also been doing more with makeup, mixing it up with eye shadows, liners, and lip colors.

Here are a few of the products, and accessories I use in my everyday life, and some of my tips... let's hear yours!

Let's Play Catch Up

Talk about a busy two months!! My life has changed in so many ways the past few months, I have grown into an adult... yes... an adult, and it is scary as hell! So, let's play catch up!

This past summer, I really wanted to try to find myself, and what it means to be me. I have talked about closet makeovers, and doing things my way on this here blog, but I had to do something out of my comfort zone to really approach who I am as this new adult, (and I mean more then just trying a new trend haha.) This change was huge for me. I ventured into unfamiliar territory and switched jobs! To some this may not be a big deal, but I ended my retail career.. for now anyways...

This was a huge step for me, I felt in order to figure out who I am.. I needed to challenge myself...and challenge accepted!

Now, I am not a writer... so here is the fun stuff! Here's just a little of what you have missed in the past 8 weeks...

I have fallen in love with the sock bun!! These pictures are from the beginning of August, and never ended up here. The sock bun is such a great hair style to tame my hair in the humidity, or to just throw it up after a shower. 

Skirt: Michael Kors

Tank: LOFT

Sandles: American Eagle 

I am sad to say the nose ring is no more...  

This picture captures my favorite things in life. Sunflowers, fall, and this kid.

Through the journey of this blog I have learned to appreciate the beauty a photo can bring. Here are two photos from two different places I have ventured to this fall, and they are so equally beautiful.

We have to remember the important things in life.And take advantage of Matt letting me take his photo!

The Man From Nantucket

This summer has been really busy for me to say the least! Because I have been working so much I thought I deserved a much needed getaway! A friend of mine was going to Nantucket for a week, and I tagged along for a few days.

I have never been to Nantucket, and I completely fell in love with the little island! I spent the days at the beaches, tried out their famous restaurants, checked out their Whaling Museum and of coarse shopped downtown!!

Here are a few pictures from my trip!

All Pinned Up

I am completely obsessed with this dress!! I snagged it from Old Navy the other day and thought it would be one of those pieces I was talking about that will change my wardrobe. Already I am coming up with new ideas on how to style this dress- add a different belt, denim jackets, layering a knit over it, or adding a shirt under it! Ekk I am so excited!

I love the style of this dress, and how it has a vintage feel to it... who knows, I may jazz this up for a cute Halloween costume!

Dress: Old Navy 

Shoes: Payless 

Overhaul

I am a girl who loves fashion, but sometimes I get into an artistic rut when it comes to style. A month back I was looking through The Cat's Meow and was seeing the same thing day by day in different versions... and I was not excited about it. I told myself that I would do a closet overhaul and take a vacation from documenting my outfits to search deeper into the world of fashion.

Well... I did the closet overhaul... which basically gave me an excuse to shop more... and picked up some new trendy pieces. I added a maxi dress, a color blocked tunic, lots of polka dots, a new version of my favorite cardi, and a stripped skirt. Oh ya! A pair of Hello Kitty sunglasses too!(Let's be real... we all know I added more then that, HA) 

I am looking forward to seeing how I play with some of my new pieces, but I have also determined if it is not broken don't fix it!! While I was going through my closet I fell in love with my clothes all over again. I have decided to do this how I want to, and this has turned into a quest to find myself through fashion. 

 So here's the thing...

I'm me. And I love cardigans.
