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.

Feelin' Flirty

How could you not feel a little flirty in a skirt or dress you just want to twirl around in? It's been so hot and humid down here in Philadelphia it definitely called for a light dress day. Nothing beats getting ready in just a few easy steps in the morning either. I could wear a dress just about every day of summer. This cute little number is a Tracy Reese dress from Nordstrom.

Fringe Benefits

I am in love with the summer trend of kimonos. There are so many different styles of kimonos it's easy to find one that speaks to your style. Of course mine had to be covered in Aztec print and fringed. I scored this baby in the winter off Same Old Chic, if you've never checked it out I suggest doing so! It is an awesome site to find some really unique pieces.

I love this trend not only because the pieces are so unique but you can throw it over a dress, a romper, or even a shorts and tee look. It is very versatile and who doesn't love adding a little fringe.

Home Is Where You Make It

I am happy to say I am adjust quite well to the city life compared to the rural one I was used to. I wanted to share with you my closet today and how I have organized it down here, along with a couple of my sanctuary areas around my apartment. It's important to bring the vibes you want with you when entering a new place.

It is sad to say the only reason I don't believe I could have a roommate in my apartment is because I take up the space of the walk-in closet, and the two linen closets in the apartment all with my clothes...oops. Can you tell I have a problem? I have to say clothes are my passion and that is why I believe I will always work in the retail or fashion industry.

Casual Can Be Cute

Sometimes when going into work I just can't always motivate myself to get dolled up everyday. However, I'm learning that casual can be cute too. As long as you continually present yourself in the polite professional manner you always do, the attire doesn't always have to be to the nines.

That's how I was feeling today just a t-shirt and jeans kind of day. Had to get my bit of a print in though with one of my favorite pairs of jeans from Free People. This button down blouse is very comfortable and came from the Lou & Grey collection at LOFT. The shoes are a couple years old but still holding up like champions, from Urban Outfitters. I'll be doing a post on the fourth featuring my favorite new purse you all are getting a sneak peak of today. 

Vegan Leather= LOVE

Well Free People has done it again, stolen my heart and made the perfect product. A reversible, vegan leather, purse that is basically four purses in one. Also comes in some amazing variety of colors, I opted for the taupe/colbalt mixture because it goes from totally neutral to bold and daring in a simple flip. The colbalt color is also perfect to compliment my fourth of July look. No big plans tonight but may head into the city for the free concert on the parkway & fireworks (if I can brave going on the train by myself for the first time! haha). This is the first time I've been a little sad I'm not in State College as their fourthfest celebration is known as one of the best in the country.

Bohemian Rhapsody

It has been a very warm week so far down here in Philly and it's been challenging to stay out of the heat and stay cool. I was so happy that I received this beautiful Novella Royale Whiskey romper from the wonderful instagram account of Flower Child Style (check them out). This light weight piece is the perfect romper to be able to beat the heat in. I love the 70's feel of Novella's clothes, almost feels like I should've been born in that decade. How are you all staying out of the heat?
