Isn't She Lovely?












Sometimes you just want to get dolled up for no reason with no place to go, and that is completely okay. This dress I scored during the Nordstrom anniversary sale by Ted Baker I knew would be the perfect fall date night dress. It can also be worn to work with a blazer and appropriate shoe then throw on a sexy heel and take off the blazer and you're ready for a night out. This dress is also one of those ones you just want to twirl around in. Happy hump day!

Feeling Fall Inspired








Well the chilly nights have finally set in and the leaves are beginning to change all around us. Pennsylvania is so beautiful this time of year it is one of my favorites before I start to hibernate during winter and dream of tropic locations. I am finally in the mood to start layering up looks and pulling out the boots from the closet. I am trying to hold off on any major boot purchases this year but working in retail, especially in shoes, it is quite difficult.

I am so happy I got to break out my Jeffery Campbell Joe Lace Up boots this week! These are the boots I lived in last year and probably will again this year, they are well worth the investment. I was feeling the Halloween spirit with my all black outfit. This dress was available at Tobi, here is something similar.

Enjoy the Little Things in Life

















From Lorin's twitter account. So much love. 


I love to appreciate all the little things in life that make each day more beautiful. For example the beauty in the changing of the seasons that's going on in PA right now. It's one of the most gorgeous times of the year to go on a hike or long drive.

Last weekend I was able to enjoy seeing this change begin when I drove to NY to see Bassnectar, Big Gigantic, Rusko, and Paper Diamond at Madison Square Garden. This was a concert that will never be forgotten and was basscenter VIII. With the weather starting to get chilly I opted for an easy boots, leggings, crop top look for the show. Enjoy my pictures above!! I'd love to go to basslights in December.

Imperfectly Perfect










This is how I'm feeling about life at the moment. The change of seasons is finally upon us and it's actually starting to feel like fall out there. This comes with the positives of cozy sweaters, boot season, tall socks, and pumpkin flavored everything. However it also comes with horrible allergies for me so I've been battling that for the past week.

I wasn't ready to pack all the summer wardrobe away yet though so I'll be featuring a lot of layering styles in the next couple of weeks before the true cold arrives. A pair of floral camo overalls is the way to make any day better for me. Also went a little out of my comfort zone with a denim on denim look. I was always against this but just as I have come to accept black and blue together I can accept some texture on texture looks.What trend are you dying to try this fall?

College Educated She Graduated









I am so proud of myself! After a long two year journey I am done with South Hills and have my degree in Business Administration Marketing and Management. Which I have been putting into work ever since starting my internship this past summer for Nordstrom. Now as a full time assistant manager I feel prepared for whatever is thrown at me with my training I recieved at South Hills. I also had to give a speech at the commencement ceremony which was very nerve wracking but I think I had a good message.

Bermuda I Have a Crush on You











This is one island I will definitely be going back to visit in my lifetime. I would love to have a week or two to really explore the whole island. I was blessed to see the three different parts of Bermuda this time around being docked at the island overnight. It was difficult to pick a favorite beach but I think Horseshoe Bay won over my heart from Snorkle Bay. It's nice to see the capital Hamiliton too because t is so historic. I'm surprised I didn't even do much shopping on the trip because I was so excited to just enjoy the atmosphere of the islands. However, after being away for that long I was ready to come back to my new life down here in Philadelphia working for Nordstrom.

During the cruise some of my favorite looks came from Topshop, Free People, BCBG, LOFT, and Nastygal. Please let me know what you think of my recent travels!!

Beautiful Bermuda








I'm back! So sorry for such the long hiatus from blogging I was so busy after returning from my cruise just in time for graduation! So as you can imagine life has been quite the whirlwind for me these past two weeks. However, now I'm back in Philadelphia and ready to experience my first fall down here. 

Before I get into any sweater or boot related posts though I'll share with you some of the amazing views I got to see while cruising to Bermuda on the Royal Caribbean Explorer of the Seas. I was so blessed to have the chance to go with my best friend, Shelby's, family on this cruise. It's taking me a minute to get back to a routine after relaxing for so many days.
