Fall Blooms + WIWW

I totally forgot that my mom's hydrendras go from blue and white in the summer, to a gorgeous dusty rose color in the fall; they matched perfectly with my outfit!  Naturally I have to pick a few for the pictures (girlfriend's on a budget over here, so I gotta get my flowers straight out of my backyard instead of picking up a cute bouquet at the store, haha).

This Aerie blanket scarf and cable knit sweater are soooooo fall; the colors are gorgeous, and not the stereotypical orange and red you would normally think of fall, but pretty dusty pinks and beige, very natural and earthy.

Seriously, I love how cute they look even when I'm just rocking some jeggings.  A  lazy girl's dream come true, lol.  No doubt this sweater and scarf will be on repeat all fall (and winter!) long; both together or separately with other pieces--#sorrynotsorry!

Gracefully Made

The Good Kind of Blues...and my Indiana Jones Hat!

Today was one of the first days that it was consistently cool all day; but not cool enough to be breaking out the big guns (my heavy jackets).  I went with my J. Crew denim vest (at under $100, its a great investment piece because you can wear it all year round, like I did here, during the summer!) because it was just thick enough to keep away the chill, but not so heavy as to make me overheat as I ran around at work.  Perfect for layering on top of a popover!

I'm not a big hat person, but I certainly love buying them (um...#shopaholic...oops, lol).  I do however, love wearing this H&M wool hat in the fall.  It's great to throw on when you're having a bad hair day (or even when you're having a good one!), and still look super cute.  

My dad calls it my Indiana Jones hat, haha.

This black leather saddle bag was a major thrift find at my favorite, Paper Doll Vintage Boutique (only $10!!!!).  I've only had it for a week and I've worn it everyday since!  Plus, the little gold details compliment my Fossil watch that I never go anywhere without (score!).

And last but not least, my flats.  I'm totally on the lace up flats bandwagon!  However they seem like they can get expensive, and as a girl on a budget I was super surprise, over-the-moon happy when I found a pair in Charlotte Russe, perfect for all y'all on a budget too (they're under $30 and come in black as well!)!

Belt It Out

I'm totally taking a page out of Kim K's book with my recent duster jacket obsession (I already have three...sorrynotsorry); they're the super chic version of a pullover (they're comfy, but polished).  

This is definitely one bandwagon you're gonna wanna hop on!  ;)

I have to admit, as much as I love shopping, I hate spending a lot of money on cosmetics; when I splurge on them, it's usually for an Essie polish (because they have the absolute BEST colors!).  It's extremely rare that I spend more than $10 on any one cosmetic (my favorite liquid liner that I've been using for the last ten years only cost about $3, and I swear by it!).  I'd just rather put the extra money towards a nicer piece of clothing instead.

I mixed two different shades to get this dark berry color; together, both lipsticks cost under $10 (L'Oréal 'Raisin Rapture' + NYC Cosmetics 'Mahogany'). You definitely don't need to break the bank to achieve a great berry lip for fall! 

It's been so hard to find a pair of these lace up flats for a decent price!  I found this pair on Poshmark and was able to buy them with my earnings from selling pieces from my closet (such a good way to clean out   your closet and get new clothes all at the same time...and it's ridiculously easy!).
