wiww-halloween night

Hello! If you're visiting from The Pleated Poppy WIWW, Welcome! Feel free to say hi and follow, it'd mean the world to me, and I'd love to check out your profiles/blogs.

Halloween is sadly over, our bellies are full of candy, and we're onto thinking about turkey, pie, christmas trees, and presents. Halloween night was great fun though, Ella got the concept more this year and enjoyed trick or treating for candy. 

Here is Ella and her BFF Ali. Ali was Dorthy from The Wizard of Oz. Well, if you asked her what she was she'd say she was "Dorfy".

The night before Halloween we decorated pumpkins (I'll share those tomorrow) and I whipped up a quick costume for myself. A felt crown with feathers, vintage buttons, trims and beads, it was a quick last minute DIY but turned out really cute!

I'm linking up our Halloween outfits this week to WIWW.

what i wore wednesday

Hello! Today I'm sharing some recent purchases for my Fall wardrobe, and a few styling ideas I'm excited to try this Fall. I'm also linking up to What I Wore Wednesday, so if you're visiting from there, Hello! Welcome! Follow (on the sidebar) and be sure to leave a comment I'd love to say "hi"!

Allotrope Shorts via Anthropologie

Ok, First off let me tell you, I am NOT a shorts person. Mostly because of the fact that I was born with short stubby legs (think complete opposite as the lovely lean model in the pic above), so I just don't care for wearing them. However, I saw these in the store and the pattern first caught my eye, then the fabric (it's very soft and comfy), and lastly it's elastic waist, hellooo comfortable! I thought that I'd branch out of my normal "non-short-wearing" regime and give them a try with tights/legging for fall. Then at least no one will be forced to see my pasty white legs, plus I think they'd look great with boots or clogs (note to self: get clogs). So i'm thinking that these shorts might not be a total failure, I'll let you know.

Black Gloss Hunter Wellies

Ok, I'm reaaaalllyyyy excited about these. I haven't officially got them in the mail yet (c'mon Zappos!) but they should be on my doorstep just in time for the rain we're supposed to get this week. I've wanted a pair of Hunter wellies for-ev-er, and i've been saving my pennies to get them. Finally, they're mine! I know they're kind of a splurge for rain boots, but they are amazingly chic and serve a good purpose. Good enough reasons for me! Lets just hope there are no funny sizing issues and I don't have to send them back.

leopard print scarf via h&m

Lastly, I've been on the lookout for leopard print accessories. I already scored an amazing umbrella a few weeks back, and when I came across this beauty at H&M I quickly scooped it up. I never was a huge animal print fan, but since I hit 25 i've been oddly attracted to it in small quantities. (Think shoes, purses, accessories).

So that's it for this week. I'm also linking up my new wardrobe additions to Real Momma, Real Style. Happy Wednesday!

what i wore wednesday

I'm back from vacation! Today I'm linking up to What I Wore Wednesday and sharing with you all this beautiful top I've been rotating a lot in my wardrobe lately. A few weeks ago I got an invitation from Anthropologie to attend a Fall preview fashion show. How could I say no to a night without the baby and some shopping at my all-time favorite clothing store? I couldn't! So I grabbed a girlfriend and we headed out to dinner and the event. 

The fashion show was great! Lots of color, knits, skirts, and teased hair were featured. Of course I couldn't leave empty handed so I picked up the top below and a few pieces of jewelry. I think that it will transition into my Fall wardrobe well and I've already had tons of compliments on it when I've worn it out. 

I pair it with jeans and heals, and it's pretty much a no fail outfit. Easy peasy, no thinking. Love that. 

not me, i wish! :)
