Fall finds!

As quickly as fall is approaching, I can't help but feel sooo much excitement about the upcoming season! I love everything about fall - school starts, it's football season, the weather is gorgeous, but most importantly I LOVE fall clothes. The layering, scarf, and boot possibilities are endless! I'm always looking at Pinterest to get ideas for future outfits.



I seriously live to wear riding boots, they go with everything! Another fall favorite of mine is wearing dresses and tights. I have a pair of cashmere tights that are to die for :) I highly suggest them y'all. Mine are Betsey Johnson from Nordstrom Rack and they were like $12! Easily worth the luxurious feeling I get when I wear them. Last year I wore my over the knee, Vince Camuto boots pretty much everyday. As a result of that, they've gotten pretty beat up so I've had to invest in another pair...

Cue Frye boots. I've been obsessed with Frye boots ever since I discovered this magical place I like to call Nordstrom's shoe department. Not only are they great quality boots but they are SO cute. They are however, ridiculously expensive. They finally went on sale enough during this year's Nordstrom Anniversary Sale that I could justify buying them. Aren't they amazing?!



Another fall essential is a great trench. I got my black one last year from the Banana Republic Factory Store for a steal of about $20! I think they're so classic and again, look great with riding boots! Since I wore mine so much last year, I wanted to get another this year but a little bit thicker (mine's particularly thin). I didn't want black either, khaki was option until I saw this gorgeous trench at Banana while I was working. 



The burgundy color looks so good on and I think it will be a really popular color this fall. I also love that it's a little shorter than traditional trenches. I'm pretty thin so those usually overwhelm my figure too much. Ahh I'm just in love with this coat :)

Next on my fall list: a pair of good flats! I'm thinking Tory's... As always, let me know what you think! I love love love hearing from y'all!

OHP

It's that time again for Oh, How Pinteresting Wednesday with Michelle at The Vintage Apple. I haven't done this link up in a couple weeks so I'm extra excited to be doing it today! I decided to theme this week's pins around quotes. I love love love quotes, they're always such a good source of inspiration and great little pick me ups. Here's some of my favorites lately, enjoy :)

2 truths and a lie


Happy Tuesday loves! I'm excited to be linking up with Mallory and Alana for 2 Truths and a Lie Tuesday. It's such a fun link up and only comes around once a month so I just had to partake :) here we go, let's see if y'all can catch my lie.

1. I've never broken a bone
2. My natural hair color is like a dirty blonde but I dye it brown
3. I've broken up with someone via text message

Which one's the lie?

Saturday's Songs

I'm always looking for new music and once I find something I like, I listen to it over and over again. I love discovering new artists that aren't on the radio and in turn showing people those artists/songs! I think I might doing a Saturday's Songs post every week for all my fellow music lovers out there. I really don't like listening to the radio, especially lately because hearing Katy Perry's Wide Awake every time I turn it on is getting a smidge annoying. It's a depressing song and I don't feel any sympathy in regards to her recent divorce from Russell Brand. Seriously that was doomed from the start. Haha okay rant over! Anyway, one radio song I can't stop listening to Nicki Minaj's Pound the Alarm. It's classic Nicki and I looove it. If you haven't heard it yet, take a listen!


What's everyone listening to now? I'd love to hear!

Product Review: BR Softwashes

Happy Thursday my lovely readers! I'm dedicating this post to my latest obsession, men's softwash shirts. Yes, they're men shirts and from Banana Republic obviously! Now from time to time, when the mall isn't exactly hopping (Monday nights) I find myself folding endlessly for hours. Once that gets boring, I do what I do best, shop. It's dangerous for me to work retail! ;) I recently happened upon the men's softwash shirts and I'm not kidding you these are THE softest shirts EVER. I'm hooked. I love the little bit looser fit, they're perfect for whenever I want to go a little bit casual. Seriously though, I wish I had a boyfriend just so I could buy these for him and then take them haha.


I also love all the adorable colors the tee comes in. I have the purple one pictured above and I've been meaning to buy another one, I just can't decide what color! I'm thinking maybe a basic white since I tend to wear them with my bright norts! What do y'all think? Which colors do you like best?

If you haven't seen these shirts before go check them out! I promise they won't disappoint :)

Sac City

Hey loves! I honestly cannot believe it's the end of July already. Seriously though, in a little more than 2 weeks I'm headed back to school. Can't say I'm not beyond excited! These past couple days have been both great and a little heart breaking at the same time. This past Thursday my family and I headed out to California to help move my brother into his very first apartment, as he is attending Sacramento City College this fall. He will be playing on their baseball team which is one of the best baseball programs in the nation. I couldn't be more proud of him and I know Sac City will be a great stepping stone for an even brighter baseball career. I'm hoping he makes it to the bigs so he can set me up with a teammate, who wouldn't want to be a MLB wife?! Haha our trip consisted of a long and painful trip to IKEA, an even more painful day of assembling all the furniture, as well as a day trip to San Francisco! We had a great time at Fisherman's Wharf in San Fran checking out the shops and walking around the boardwalk. There were a few too many birds and an obnoxious amount of people there for my liking but it seemed like something you had to do if you were in the area! Below are some pictures I took that day. Now, it's back to reality and the working world for a couple more weeks!




Do I have any west coast followers?! Or anyone else sending a sibling away for college?

Lilly planners & coupon codes!

I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Lilly planner! I swear by my planner, it keeps me organized and helps me keep track of all my events for school, sorority, tennis, and work! I love all the options for the Lilly planners this year, it was so hard to pick one! I opted for the Soft Cover Agenda mainly because I'm in love with Multi Floral Punch print :) It's exactly the same as the Large Agenda but it has a plastic cover so it's a little bit lighter in weight - never a bad thing!


I'm also very excited about the sticker packs (I'm such a kid at heart). Now somehow I stumbled upon a coupon code that allowed me to get free shipping whooo! Since this was the first time I've ordered from the Lilly site (surprising but I tend to use Preppy Princess more) I got to use the code "welcome" at the check out. If this isn't your first time ordering from their site, I'd try using a different email and maybe it'll work. The second code I have is "ohshift" which you can type in to get a free keychain! I love saving money almost as much as I love spending it :)

Who's ordered their Lilly planners already?! And which style/print did you get?
