#it's harvest time!

This past weekend I went to a U-pick apple orchard and mini pumpkin patch. I went to Clearview Organic Orchard, it was so pretty and 100% organic. It was also a relatively warm day which was out of the ordinary for a Mid-October afternoon. This place is extremely friendly, the guy who greeted us  was very informative about the history of the orchard, the process the farmers take and to top it off they have beautiful picnic tables throughout so you can bring your own lunch and have a beautiful picnic in the orchard.  Best part is that you only pay for the apples you buy, no paying for parking or for the picnic, you can save your money for the amazing honey, juices and apples!

Now I was planning for it to be a but cooler but my outfit wasn't to warm and still very weather and event appropriate.
I wore a Chambray shit, skinny army green utility pants and brown oxfords. I accessorized with a brown belt and my rose gold Michael Kors watch.
Here are similar options of my outfit choice:
Chambray shirt:
J Crew's options are always a perfect fit and shade:

I also like Gap's Options, more affordable but just as stylish

Skinny Cargo Style pants:
The ones I purchased were from Old Navy, super comfy, stylish and the price was right:

Or you can invest in these beauties from Piperlime:

And Finally the shoe options: you can either wear booties or oxfords. I love my oxfords, they are worn in and light: I got mine over 2 years ago from Nordstrom but here are similar options:
The first two are from Nordstrom:
Franco Sarto "Tevi" flat:

Miz Mooz Oxford flat:

And Lastly from DSW Shoes: Mercanti Fiorentini Oxford

These are probably my favorite and the closest to the ones I own. I love the classic oxford look, makes any outfit a bit more polished.







I hope you liked my outfit and I will talk to you all soon!

#pretty woman, do OR don't?

Pretty woman walking down the street in her knee high boots and crazy 90's hair.

Although that movie is probably one of my favorite movies of all time, I wouldn't say that I would necessarily take fashion advice from it. Granted her floppy hats and conservative outfit at the polo game and the infamous red dress for the opera are worthy of repeating the question is whether the knee highs are hookerish or worth investing in? If the answer is worth investing, then you have to ask your self, what should I wear them with, a skirt, shorts, pants? In my personal opinion knees highs should not come back. In order to get all the bang for your buck for a boot like that you have to showcase it when you wear them. Therefore wearing them under something long or over pants just doesn't give it the affect it demands. So most girls opt for wearing the knee high boots with a short skirt or shorts. So my point is that you have no choice but to wear a skimpy little skirt with the boots, which gives you a scandalous look. Call me old fashion but I like the more timeless clean looks, I don't think women need to showcase so much skin to get attention. Wit and charm should be your focal point not your mini skirt and bare legs. I am saying this becuase knee highs are especially worn during the colder months during the day. Evening outfits allow for a bit more skin however day outfits are the more elegant and professional. That is why you don't see girls walking out in the day time in a club mini dress because there is a time and place for that much skin and sexiness and it is not in the day while in the office. However, of course my opinion may be outdated or to conservative but what can I say I am a 26 year old that wants to be remembered for what I say not how much skin I show. However this is my opinion and you know I've seen some bloggers pull of the knee highs decently so without further ranting I will provide some potential knee highs if you are in the market.

 I love Stuart Weitzman, his shoes are well made and decently comfortable regardless of heel size: If you are willing to make the investment here are some knee highs that you can pre-order:

A bit more affordable are these two Zara boots, the first is a high heel while the second is a low square heel made for everyday walking:

#2

I have to admit that I love Boutique 9 shoes and the little details: here are probably my favorite knee-highs Ive seen yet:

I hope that everyone is having a wonderful beginning of Fall, I am excited to finally enjoy some fall festivities this weekend and I will definitely be back with info on what I wore and other fall harvest inspired attire! Thanks for reading!

#plaid is not just for lumberjacks

Plaid can be daunting, becuase the last thing you want to do is look like a lumberjack. However this fall season the trend is bring back the plaid once again! I am a little cautious about plaid shirts but I love a good plaid skirt. I saw this skirt on Atlantic Pacific from Tibi and just fell in love, the problem is that I can't find it anywhere to purchase. Therefore, I went on a the hunt for a similar piece!

Here is the shirt:

I am in love with the whole outfit and her style but cannot get over this skirt!!

Now here are some similar options I am contemplating, let me know what you think!

My first option is this sweater Plaid Skirt from Nordstrom:

Another Option from Nordstrom, that is a bit more pricey but absolutely lovely: This Elizabeth and James Pencil Skirt

Next is also a Black and White Plaid Combo, from White House Black Market, not my favorite but definitely a worthy contender.

Also this Grind Skirt

Lastly, this mini is the perfect plaid with a nice touch of color by Suno

I hope you all get the urge to go out and purchase a nice plaid piece to help complete your fall wardrobe! Until next time!

#sweaterweather

It's October and its that time of year, changing of colors, crisp evenings, pumpkin pies, orange decorations and SWEATER Galore!!!

In California, October is perfect, the weather is perfect for sweaters and maybe a light jacket in the evenings. I love grabbing a coffee in a local coffee shop and reading a new book. Apparently October is also National Book Month so it seems like October and books were a match made in heaven.
Now back to sweaters, I love the fluffy ones, the colorful ones and oversized ones. It is a perfect go to Fall outfit, some skinnies and a cute sweater on top.
I am so excited to finally wear my sweaters and buy a few more, as you will tell from the options I provide below, I am not only a fan of sweaters but also sweaters with a little bit of a funky design that can all be worn with a comfy pair of leather leggings and booties. Here are some options that I am resisting the impulse to buy:

The Oversized Sweater:

This one is from Asos, its adorable and affordable (my favorite combination!)

Another oversized option is this Two Tone Knit from Zara.











The Fluffy Sweater:

With a little embellishment, this Dorothy Perkins has the perfect amount of fluff that can be paired with a nice pencil mini and booties.

Completely out of my price range but the amount of fluff is perfection, Chloe never disappoints.











The Why Not, It looks soooo COMFY!

This Zara knit looks to comfy to pass off.

I think a sassy sweater is in order and for me this one seems perfect for the job!










Have a fabulous and sassy rest of the week!
