I've said it before I'll say it again

I'm really all about the details! I love to observe things whether it is someones outfit, mannerisms, or the little things throughout your day that usually go unseen. When you take time to notice these things I believe you truly gain an understanding for living in the now and taking advantage of being in the moment. Life becomes a bit more beautiful when you pay attention to details.

I'm constantly styling my outfits with extra accessories just to add some detail in case I don't already have it. It just adds that spice to any plain look! I already had a dash of detail with the sequin front Free People shirt I chose to pair with some dark wash skinny jeans and brown slouch boots. For the details I added a body chain & a raw gem stone necklace, I like how the two contrasted with each other. Then chose some of my favorite rings for some finger candy. But my favorite detail was my headband, a simple but classic addition to the fall get together.

What is your favorite detail to add? 

All That Glitters Is Not Gold

A long weekend with lots of work to be done and little motivation to be had. Especially with such a beautifully warm fall weekend in PA, all I wanted to do was go on a hike with my pup and relax. Of course life isn't always fair, you have to go to work anyways and find the strength to get through hours of studying and writing papers. Don't let it bring you down because you're not the only one feeling this way. 

On the bright side I was very excited to receive a package from Nasty Gal with a couple new killer accessories. My favorite piece by far is the body chain, it is an eye catching piece that you can literally wear over anything! The simple going out for the afternoon I paired the body chain with this weekend was perfect for getting coffee with a friend or walking a local pumpkin patch with your niece & nephew. The short sleeve sheer blouse with golden details complimented the accessories I chose to pair up. I then wore some skinny dark wash jeans with army green boot socks & a matching green cardigan.

 Alright time to get some rest before the week begins!  

Summertime Sadness

Unfortunately, living in Central Pennsylvania the first week of September has already brought frost covered lawn mornings and nippy nights out with friends. It's starting to feel a lot like fall around here, but I'm not quite ready to put away all of my summertime clothes! I love when you can wear a certain necklace, tank top, or skirt and you can just instantly remember that fun summer moment that you had in them.

Some people don't understand how girls can have sentiment towards pieces of clothing. Well I can tell you their are certain tees in my closet that I will never part with. Whether it was the first sweatshirt a boyfriend ever gave you or that dress you always felt unstoppable in when you went out, there are just certain things you can let go of.  Especially with a girls favorite piece of jewelry, that piece you feel naked if you're not wearing. When you can wear something that makes you feel powerful or more confident that's a beautiful element to add to any outfit.

Today's outfit is boho casual for a lazy, tad bit chilly, Friday afternoon. My blouse is from Free People, undershirt a DIY reverse tie-dye tank, and a simple cotton knit maxi skirt from LOFT. This combination of some of my favorite summertime pieces kept me comfortable in the chilly PA wind but still gave me the sweet memories of the great summer just passed.

Lace Overlay

One very popular trend I have noticed that is up coming for this fall is layering with delicate lace pieces. This feminine touch is one that has stuck with fashion throughout the ages. By adding a little lace under a moto leather jacket you can instantly change that bad-ass look into something a bit more innocent. Vintage denim and lace are highly desired thrift shop finds and an adorable combination. Never doubt the potential any local good will or consignment shop could have, I am almost always pleasantly surprised when I go on a hunt for vintage goods at theses stores.

Lace pieces are a fun trend because you can dress it up, make it more casual, feel super girly, or add that dainty hint to an edgier outfit.
