Over Sweater Weather

God how I wish I had a spring break and was planning to go somewhere tropical shortly. That would be amazing cause I am surely over winter here in PA and ready to shed some layers for rompers, Free People intimates, and sandals. I am starting to sneak in tid bits of summer clothes and less layers when ever possible lately. This casual look is paired with a thicker sweater from Francesca's over top of a Free People classic. Underneath I have some LOFT pants and a lacey bralette from a little boutique in State College.

Happy Monday

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good morning! This month I made a few commitments to myself for the new year but want to take it month by month. For January it was to try something new, save up money for a trip to Ecuador in the spring, and go to at least three yoga classes. I am proud to save I have successfully completed two out of three of these tasks. I've been going to Yoga on the Ridge in Manayunk it's very convenient to where my apartment is. Then I also recently went to a sushi restaurant on Samson and 20th called Vic's Sushi and it was the first time I had real, fresh rolled sushi. It was so delicious and highly recommended. Now I just need to work on saving up more!!

I am also staying very true to my bohemian style when I'm not all #GIRLBOSS up for work. My love for Free People is becoming unhealthy but is an addiction most of my friends support haha. I also love trying different looks that can transition from work to play like the one above. This is an Aztec print dress from Pac Sun I scored this summer on super sale. Then I just threw one of my favorite Free People sweaters over it which I got from Nordstrom Rack. Topping the outfit off with details I am in love with this new Marimo moss and twig necklace. This piece is so unique it's always a conversation starter.

Sweater Weather

Well from the couple weeks of 90's and humidity we had I am not complaining about this slight dip in temperature down here in Philly. The evenings have been very cool and the perfect breeze to go on a nice long jog with the dog. I have been freezing when I am in air conditioning all day though so I decided to break out one of my favorite light weight summer sweaters. This skirt is also a favorite for work and easy transitional piece to wear out.

Taking Time For Yourself

I've been so busy I haven't even posted in days! This is how I knew it was absolutely time to just take a break, even though a thousand things need done, and take some time for myself. The holiday season is one of the best of the year but it can also be the most stressful. It's important that in these next couple of months you take moments to yourself to breath and appreciate all the little things that go unnoticed while rushing to get things done.

Like appreciating the moon and sun being out at the same time. 

And of course by taking a little time to myself to relax that includes doing a little bit of shopping. I am in love with this new sweater I purchased from LOFT, it's going to be the perfect thing to keep me warm through these snowy Pennsylvania winter months. The rest of my shopping I did online starting to compile my Christmas wishlist. Here are a few items that I'm really hoping Santa comes through on: 

An all white headdress. 

Chanour Antalya Coin Collar Necklace 

Reverse Sweet Worship Velvet Fringe Kimono 

Walking In A Winter Wonderland

Well I was a little terrified and excited when I woke up to snow on the ground this morning. I'm prepared for the Central Pennsylvania winter but didn't think it would arrive so early. It does get me really excited for the holidays and Thanksgiving break couldn't come faster.

Today I wanted to snuggle up and be cozy comfy. I'm wearing a knit sweater from LOFT, with some black skinny jeans that are Current Elliot. Time to break out the winter accessories with this adorable beanie I got from LOFT and infinity scarf from Connections, a local boutique in State College. This free people jacket has most definitely been a good investment, it's durable and can pack tons of layers underneath without getting bulky. 

Well hope you are staying cozy on this chilly November day or that you live in a wonderfully warm place (and I am jealous). Happy Tuesday! 

Equinox Enticing

Happy Fall Equinox everyone! I don't enjoy the cold very much but I do love sweater weather, there isn't a more comfortable time of the year. This season has a way of warming people's souls with it's beautiful transformation of colors and excitement of the joyous holidays that will be coming up shortly. This is also a transitional time for everyone's wardrobes.

Living in Central Pennsylvania we are blessed with the challenge of dressing for low 50 degree mornings that lead into 70 degree sizzling afternoons that disappear with the sunset. This makes it extremely difficult to get dressed in the morning (or to find the motivation to get out of bed). My first suggestion is get comfortable with layers, it can be a trendy way to prepare yourself for all weather situations throughout the day. I also keep a back-up outfit in my car, a mixture of something cute but comfy like yogas, a graphic tank and plaid button up.

Today I kept it simple in one of my favorite sweaters, a pair of green Hudsons, my coveted Frye boots, and my new favorite pair of socks. My jewelry accented  my Ogre-the-top-blue nails (from the OPI Shrek collection). Everyone should have a motivational piece of jewelry that makes them feel empowered. Be true to yourself, is a bangle from Ettika that I absolutely adore.

And always remember the best accessory a girl can wear is a smile.
