What's in My Shopping Cart
My shopping cart is so full right now with all of the styles I'm loving lately. Although I can't purchase everything in my cart there are several stores hainvg really great sales right now. There are also several stores with new arrivals that you don't want to miss out on. First of all, the Halogen x Atlantic-Pacific collection launched yesterday at Nordstrom and it's already selling out. Also, J. Crew just added a ton of new styles. If you want to find a great sale, there a

Weekly Skinny: October 17th
Currently sitting in a Barnes & Noble café waiting for my Starbucks order - all is right in the world. Did I mention it's also 57 degrees? Fall is here and I am happy! I hope everyone is having a fabulous week so far. With half of the week behind us, I've got nothing but eyes for the weekend. This work week has been particularly busy with midterms and literature review papers to work on. I swear I've stayed up until 2am every night since Saturday, but this is all good stress!

Forget the Rules
Forget what you've heard, you can wear white jeans past Labor Day. I know it seems like traditional fashion exiles those who style white post Labor Day but modern fashion appreciates, accepts and sometimes even encourages it. After all, we love a good winter white outfits and apparently, so does Vogue. Styling a summery white outfit after the first week of September can seem a little daunting after classic styles told us time and time again that it was a big no-no, but when d

Accessorize for Fall
Creating a chic fall outfits isn't difficult. All you need are a few classic sweaters, a great pair of skinny jeans and a few pairs of casual ankle boots and loafers/flats. Never feel the need to overthink your fall outfits. What makes your simple outfits stand out from the rest is how you accessorize them. Right now, accessories are making a big statement both on the runways and in affordable fashion stores like Forever 21 and Nordstrom. I know berets were big last year. I h

Fashion Forward with Forever 21
When I went home this past weekend I stopped by Forever 21. JMU only has a Target and an H&M so I never really get the opportunity to go shopping at Forever 21 throughout the school year. I must say though, their newest fall collection is so adorable and chalk full of plaids, knits, and blazers. The thing I love about Forever 21 is how trendy, yet affordable everything is. I know they sell fashion forward pieces but they're worth investing in because at the end of the day, it

Stand Alone Sweaters for Fall
Sweater weather is officially upon us! I mentioned it in yesterday's post, but I swear the turn of the season brought an entirely different climate to the East Coast. It's straight up chilly in Virginia! I'm definitely not complaining though seeing as I love bringing all of my sweaters to the front of my closet for fall. It's also officially jeans weather 🙌🏻 and now that we can happily pull on our favorite pair of medium wash jeans, let's talk about what exactly to pair wit

First Pick of the Season
It wasn't fall for more than 12 hours and I was already at the apple orchard with some friends this past weekend. One of my favorite places to visit during fall is the beautiful apple orchard in Broadway, Virginia just 11 miles north of Harrisonburg. This little orchard looks out onto the Blue Ridge mountains and is the perfect backdrop for photoshoots. Not to mention, the apples they grow are absolutely delicious! Today I wanted to share with you a great way to take your fav

September 30 Under $30
With summer officially behind us, I can finally put my summer stripes in the back of the closet and pull my sweaters and vests to the front. Even though it's early in the season, I can already see popular colors and trends shining throughout store windows. Blazers, 70's plaids, and leopard print are going to be big hits this season and I'm ready to jump on board. During fall I like to stay within the neutral palette and then play with layers and fall prints. Having a wide ran

Weekly Skinny: September 7th
Finally Friday! Woo woo! This week has been forever long it feels like, I woke up bright and early on Monday morning with a powerful head cold. Ever since I've been taking Vitamin C drops like crazy and sanitizing just about everything in sight. I even Clorox wiped by desk at the library down before sitting. I'm not taking any chances to further deteriorate my health because recruitment starts today! YES! That's right, formal sorority recruitment starts today and I am so exci

The Best of H&M Fall
One of my favorite shopping spots when I need great looking clothing in a pinch is H&M. It's affordable, well made, and versatile. No matter which style you choose to sport, H&M probably sells the staple item you've been trying to buy for weeks now. I think H&M does Fall and Winter best. With all of their winter accessories and sweater styles, it's hard to walk into a store and leave empty handed. I was looking for a similar scarf to the one I purchased last year to send to a
