Fall Denim Outfits

Sorry for the lack of posts...were you starting to think I might have died alone in my condo and no one had found me yet?  Nope...I was in training last week and am just now starting to get caught up on blogging...lots more to come!

Refinery 29 featured several fall denim outfits last week...here are my favs!

1. A denim skirt with a black mini....I especially love how the shirt is tied rather than laying untucked but the outfit would probably also work with the shirt tucked in rather than tied.  I don't know how I feel about high heeled loafer yet and an not sold on the red bag but you get the general idea of the look I'm going for!

I love this one because it is super classic...I already have a pair of dark high waisted jeans, ray ban aviators and tan boots in my closet and I could always use another ivory blouse!

Anthropologie Items of the Week

So many good things went on sale this morning I thought I was going to have to do an Anthropologie Items of the Week post that wasn't on Thursday...then I realized it was already Thursday...hooray for short work weeks!  Can I get an amen?  Anyways, here are a few items that went on sale you should check out!  Don't forget, Anthro is offering free shipping on any orders through September 30th so if you don't have an Anthropologie close by or you do but they don't still have these items in stock just place an order!

These are my picks for this week:

This little vase is going to live on my coffee table post makeover...its only $16!

I have a weakness for all things green and I really think these could add a fun but subtle pop of color to an ordinary outfit and I think they'd be way more versatile than you might think.  I also love the irregular shape!

New TOMS

Have y'all seen the new TOMS with rope soles and stripes in the back?  I really want a pair of the gray ones!



Super Long

I've just decided I'm going to grow my hair super long like the girl in this pic...minus the baby of course.

The Perfect (Enough) Basket

I really had pretty much given up hope I'd find the perfect basket...but every time I find myself sitting in my living room I just keep thinking...those silk flowers have got to go!  I came across this one yesterday on Terrain (Anthropologie's home decor sister store) and I think it will do. The only problem?  I've discovered that succulents need direct light and since my living room is off my sun room this isn't going to happen on my coffee table...so now I have to decide  on another form of house plant...but we're making progress!

New Couple Alert?

As you can recall from the Jake Gyllehhaal/T-Swift days I don't approve of Jake dating just anyone, but I think they make a great couple!

If you don't recognize the girl from the pic its Rashida Jones from The Office and Parks and Rec.

Rumor has it they're the hot new Hollywood couple! 

Bootie Bootie Bootie Rockin Everywhere?

Ok, so I kind of want a pair of black booties this winter.  Why?  Well for beginners, I learned pretty quickly a few years back that you can't just throw on tights with any old pair of shoes.  Case and point: First day wearing tights to work in years...wore them with pointy toed pumps (don't judge me it was 4 years ago and I was still developing my style) and walked out of my shoes at work all day because the tights made my pump so slippery.

I thought I wised up by getting a pair of rounded toe t-strap shoes which did solve the problem of walking out of my shoes...but they hurt like crazy if I wore them for more than an hour or two.

Thus the need for booties.  Here's the problem...as you might have guessed based on my search for the perfect coffee table basket I might be a little too picky for my own good.  Ok I admit it, I totally am...I once refused to buy a pair of New Balance running shoes because the N on the them was too big...true story.  Any ways...I have the perfect bootie in mind, I just can't seem to find it for a reasonable price and since booties are a trend and not a classic I don't want to spend a ton of mullah on them.

 I spotted the perfect booties on the girl from the Could I Have That blog.  I like booties that have a v in the front and don't just look like a chopped off pair of boots. 

They are made by a company called Ash and retail for $225.

These are Michael Kors and are $167...but of course I don't love them nearly as much.

Will y'all keep an eye out for the perfect black bootie and let me know if you find it?

The Search for the Perfect Basket Does NOT Continue.

I've resigned myself to the fact that my ideal coffee table basket may not be out there right now.  That one from William Sonoma was WAY too big.

Maybe I'll just line a few little potted plants up on my coffee table...anything has got to beat fake silk flowers right?

Anthropologie Items of the Week

Last night I painted my toes dark red...its totally fall in my mind...I am so over summer!

Gold is going to be so hot this fall and I think this cardi will be a very versatile layering piece!

Something about this shirt reminds me of one of my BFFs...I totally dig it.

You Make Me Feel Like Dancin'

That song has been in my head since I first woke up...no idea why though!

This outfit is so clasic...but you know how I love a pretty bra showing through...I think that makes this outfit a little sexy too!
