bright fall ahead

1. Cashmere sweater - Dear Cashmere; 2. Jeggings - MICHAEL Michael Kors;  3. Skull print scarf - Topshop; 4. Watch - Michael Kors; 5. Loafers - Gap 

Even with summer still in full swing, I can't help but feel as if it is coming to an end (what with school starting in a week).  And so, with the ending of summer means the beginning of fall, my second favorite season.  I simply love wearing sweaters and scarves without the need of a coat.  This outfit is perfect for running errands or shopping during slightly chilly days and can easily be switched with a different coloured sweater for a new look.  Here are a few other colours that I am dying to try:    

1. Celtic Green sweater - Lord & Taylor; 2. Royal Blue sweater - J.Crew; 3. Purple sweater - Acne

music muse - fall for you

Fall For You - Secondhand Serenade

sparkles, neon and dots

1. Silk shirt - Club Monaco; 2. Dotted Skinny Jeans - Current/Elliott; 3. Sparkled booties - Aldo; 4. Stone neon necklace - Zara; 5. Folded clutch - Vince Camuto

Small details, such as the subtle print on the jeans, the neon necklace and the glittered boots, make this otherwise ordinary combo of shirt, jeans and booties so much more glamorous.  This combo is definetly something to experiment with during the fall (especially the colored denim... swoon).  Who says you can<t wear light colours during fall?

Get - Miss Shop Tab Front Cross Body Bag

When shopping, there's nothing better than scoring an amazing designer bag for a fraction of it's original price.  Especially if it's a classic (Marc Jacobs' Classic Q Hillier Hobo bag, anyone?).  But when it comes to trendy pieces, like neon bags, why go for the designer when you can get a similar one for much cheaper (unless the designer bag is on sale and you can figure out a way to make it work with your outfits for the rest of your life).  Personally, I prefer saving money when purchasing items that are "in" and then splurging on those that will last me a lifetime (although, I do love this Proenza bag...).

bedroom inspiration

When it comes to decorating a bedroom, I believe light and open is the best way to go.  Not only does it give endless decor possibilities but it gives the room an inviting feel to it (and let's not forget comforting).  Very beachy.  Well, maybe it's the girl-who-wishes-to-live-by-the-sea speaking for me...
