Pleat Details

Well all I can say about this fall is the actual fall weather has been coming and going. I've enjoyed breaking out a few of my sweaters on these chilly days like this alpaca sweater from Peru. It is so warm and soft it is one of my favorite sweaters. I love the detail in this handmade garment, you can feel the quality of it when you wear it. Going off those details I matched it with this pleated midi skirt from Forever21 and my Frye Patty boots. My necklace is from the St. Thomas butterfly farm and is a real butterfly wing, added as my pop for the look. 

Peruvian Trek

The latest trend from Free People has me drooling, I want everything from the catalog but unfortunately am on a spending freeze due to moving and other reasons. The Peruvian Trek theme is all about trail blazing prints, and sun seeking silhouettes which thankfully I already own a lot of. It feels as though this print that helps boost the start of a new season is one I was already in love with having visited Peru a few years ago. I should do a throw back post to some of my outfits and amazing time there. Anyways back to the look, I chose the Free People battenburg bralette for my top paired with some shorts I scored at goodwill. These shoes are handmade and from Peru, I bought them at a little boutique is Cusco, Peru. My necklace is from Lost Lovers Store Australia and was one of my favorite 21st birthday presents. The look all comes together with the giant bohemian purse also from Free People.

Stepping It Up A Notch

No longer will my blog be filled with only iPhone edited images but actually some professional pictures with my Nikon D5000. I'm so excited to get back into my love of photography and playing with the camera. It's something that goes hand and hand with fashion and I've always had a niche for it.

I'm excited to have a different approach to my post with a lot more pictures and a little less writing. Winter has officially hit the East Coast and it is freezing in State College. No more getting away with summer clothes under a jacket, it's time for wearing one more layer than you think is necessary just in case.

 Today I am breaking out one of my warmest sweaters I got from Peru, it's 100% Alpaca. I decided to put some dark wash skinnies with a paisley print scarf from Target. I also wore one of  my favorite necklaces that is a petrified butterfly wing from the Butterfly Garden in St. Thomas, USVI.
