red plaid shirt
Sometimes as a blogger I feel the need to come up with really creative outfits. To put something together that maybe you wouldn't have thought of on your own. SO I was hesitant to shoot this simple/classic look that I'm sharing with you today. (I mean, a red plaid shirt for Fall? Not the most creative). But honestly, it was love at first sight between this red plaid shirt & myself. And I just thought it was too good to not share with you.
Another reason I wanted to share this look today is because each one of these pieces (the red plaid shirt, these dark skinny jeans, these booties, and this hobo bag) are amazing Fall basics. The price point on these items might be higher than what I typically post, but I have already gotten (and will continue to get) so much use out of them. Believe me when I say, they are worth the money! I'm all about a bargain and a good sale, but when it comes to jeans, it's worth the investment to get a pair that fits well, and that are great quality.If you're wanting sizing information: the shirt runs pretty big. I'm wearing an XS and it's still a little loose, which I love! The jeans are pretty true to size (I'm wearing a 25), and I love how they fit!

summertime romper
Romper | Gold necklace | Opal ring | Mini handbag | Double white ring | Watch | Sandals (sold out. similar here)I'm not sure why, but I typically shy away from the color red. Which is why I was surprised when I instantly fell in love with this romper from the moment I saw it online. I think it stood out to me right away because I was shopping for my Mexico trip and thought it would be perfect for the beach. This is one of those things you can throw in your suitcase with a pair of sandals, and boom. Your outfit is complete.It's perfect for walks on the beach, or dress it up with wedges for dinner. It's super light and so comfy, and honestly feels like you're wearing pajamas!

a touch of red
I have always been slightly envious of girls that rock the color red all the time - at work, going out, red nails, red lips...it's never been a strength of mine and I typically shy away from the color. When I do love red though - is with all black. It adds such a bold pop of color and instantly makes any outfit so much more fun and exciting! I am obsessed with this red vest from anthro. I think you could wear it with jeans, a leather legging, or even your favorite workout tights. It's so fun and versatile!

Another essential in my closet is this black ponte pant in stretch twill. You can wear these casual with a big oversized sweater, or dress them up with a button down blouse for work. I have gotten so much use out of mine!

5 Friday Faves || Fall shopping guide
As seasons change and you're due for a serious wardrobe update, shopping for this season's trendy staples can get a bit overwhelming. So many options! For this week's 5 Friday Faves, I wanted to put together a little shopping guide for you, for items that every girl needs in her Fall wardrobe.
1. Favorite scarf - I recently added this scarf in the photo to my fall wardrobe, and it was the best $17 I've spent in a while! So soft, and all the colors make it so versatile.2. Favorite denim shirt - You can't have a fall wardrobe without a denim shirt in your closet. Perfect for layering under sweaters, or an easy "throw on and go" top.3. Favorite flats - I'm crazy about the d'Orsay flat right now, and when I saw these in grey, I knew I had to have them!4. Favorite fall lip color - Laura Mercier creme smooth lip color in "damask". I love this color because its not too "red, red", but is still bold and beautiful. The creme lip color also makes your lips super soft and has a long wear to it!5. Favorite fur vest - I feel like the fur vest has officially moved from a trend item to a staple. This vest is my personal fave because it's still on trend but the grey color makes it unique! The length is perfect and I love the smokey effect on the fur.
