Topshop Love

TGIF! Boy I am so ready for this weekend to celebrate friend's birthdays and go to the Weeknd concert in Philly! Fall is definitely rolling in so the boots are coming out. These Jeffrey Campbell Joe Lace Up boots have been a staple in fall winter wardrobe for 5 seasons now! They are worth being resoled because they have yet to go out of style. They are also still available at Free People in tons of other colors. This adorable little dress I scoop up from Topshop at Nordstrom, buy it here for only $48!! This bomber jacket is no longer available but was a steal I found at the Nordstrom Rack from Free People. Have an amazing weekend!!! 

His & Her's Going Out Look

You may find this as a surprise but for a twenty-three year old I don't love going out all that much but boy do I love to get dressed for it! I don't know if I got my fill of going out growing up in a college town or  if I'm just more content now with Netflix and chilling with the dog, & Spencer for a night in. On the rare occasion we do go out on the weekend but have majorly scaled back since we want to save up for a house! 

In the fall it's so hard to get the right balance of sleeves and jeans but still looking cute and not wanting to let go of the beautiful summer months we just enjoyed. We all know it's cold outside and then burning hot inside a bar, not a fun struggle. That is why I absolutely adore this Free People scoop back seamless top! I own it in multiple colors cause it is the perfect top for fall and winter going out. They made it into a bodysuit this year but still perfect for this look and available for only $58, buy here. My dark wash skinnies are also from Free People still available for $78, buy here. Now let me apologize in advance for how much you are going to see these Stuart Weitzman Elevated over the knee boot in my blog this coming winter. I am going to live in these boots they are so comfortable and were the most gracious gift from my boss. They were sold out during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale but recently became available again through Nordstrom, link here.

I wanted to share a men's going out look too because it's something I've never done before on Carlita's Closet! I knew we were good together when I found out he likes to dress up as much as I do. In this post his shirt is 7 Diamonds, burgundy pants Bonobos, and the boots are Magnanni. The styles were all purchased at Nordstrom or Nordstrom Rack, but are all sold out. Will find links to like items this week!

Chilly Day Vibes

Short and sweet on this Monday morning, because I am road tripping today back home to visit my family! See you in a few hours State College!! This fall weather is slowly rolling in and let me tell you I am not ready to switch out my spring/summer wardrobe yet. Transitional season are so rough because you must get in your fill of wearing your favorites before the season ends. These Jeffrey Campbell Coors booties are something I live in for working in the spring and summer. These printed wide leg pants are an old sale pair of ASTR from Nordstrom. My cute white blouse is from Topshop this particular one is sold out but shop this Scallop edge top now. For a similar look also shop these wide leg striped Band of Gypsies pant from Nordstrom today.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond

It was one of those days off yesterday that just felt more than needed and greatly appreciated. This post is inspired by my rainy day off look yesterday & inspired by one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs, "Shine on you crazy diamond".  I am in love with these amazing joggers from Sincerely Jules collection, available at Nordstrom. The olive color, thick drawstrings, and stitching/zipper detail give them the perfect edge over just any joggers. Threw on an oldie but goodie tee from Urban Outfitters and I was ready to run errands! Find plenty of comfy band tees like this on at Urban here. As most of you know I am not a huge sneaker person but I have to say these UGG's may have converted me otherwise. The fold over top with the light grey/baby pink combination make them match with practically everything.

I'm back!

Well it's only been two years but wow have they flown by. Life as a "adult" is not all it's cracked up to be when you're 12 dreaming about the day you'll be able to drive and make all your own decisions. Message to all the teens and college girls out there reading this blog LIVE IT UP, enjoy not having any responsibilities but doing homework & showing up to class, trust me it's not that hard. Also it is quite ironic my last post was about change, still the only thing that is constant in life. One of the keys to being being a little less stress free as an adult is embracing the change that is thrown at you in life whether you're ready for it or not. 

Today's post is a welcome back to Carlita's Closet! I can't wait to share the beautiful new finds I've gathered in my closet over the last two years. It's also a re-awakening in my passion for fashion, never let the hectic-ness of life take away what you love most. Above's look was a summer chic day I got to spend at the Centre County Grange Fair with my family and boyfriend! Highlight of my summer was being able to come home and enjoy this family tradition I've been a part of since I can remember. 

It was one of those dog days of summer in August that was so hot you had to be in something breathable. These adorable shorts are from a shop in New Hope, PA called Three Cranes Gallery. Go in and visit Bryan any time he's a really cool guy that will tell you how he hand selects all the fabrics from Thailand, they are so soft!! My tank is from the Savvy Department at Nordstrom last summer, find a similar one here. I am wearing two different barrettes; one is the brami from Free People and the other is by this brand Xirena (they have some unique bralettes check them out!).  My sneakers are a suede high top van that I got in Florida a few years ago, perfect for casual looks, shop a similar pair here. 

If there's anything you want to see featured on the blog coming up please let me know!! I am so happy to be back writing!!! Have a happy Tuesday everyone! 

Boyfriend Jeans and Comfy Sweaters

Simple but put together, this is how I like to feel on my days off whether I'm just taking a stroll down Main Street in manayunk or running errands. I can't stand leaving the house in my sweats even if it is my day off even though it happens sometimes. I feel so much better about myself and the productivity of the day when I take the time to invest in myself for a little. It's important to make time for the little things in your day that make a difference to you! If you don't do this than the little stresses of everyday life can build up to be bigger problems than they were meant to be. It's good to be able to clear the mind and start the day off the way you'd like to get it started. My boyfriend jeans by KUT from the Kloth are a favorite throw on and go pair of jeans. They look great with a t-shirt or sweater. I also like that they are de-stressed but not over done. This sweater I scored on sale from Free People last year and is still one of my favorite transitional sweaters for fall to winter. I'm wearing a Free People black lace bra underneath because what's the fun if you can't show it off a little. I don't know about the rest of you but I am so excited for the weekend! TGIF!
