Happy Monday!  I’ve been loving these Lucky Brand boyfriend jeans this fall.  Embracing jeans with heels while the weather still allows me to bare my ankles!  Here’s a fun fall color palette from over the weekend.  Did you guys get to do any fun fall activities over the weekend?!

How the West Was Won

Happy Hump Day guys!  While most of my looks are heavily based in my New England roots, every once in a while I find inspiration from travels, movies, pop culture, and more sneaking their way through.  A combination of planning a trip to Texas and watching the Magnificent Seven resulted in this ensemble with my all time favorite denim jacket and two of my favorite fall pieces-the bandana and the felt hat.  I have to tell you, I definitely don’t hate it.

Earth Tones

Coming at you with another casual look today.  Spring always has me eager to lose the layers, while spending as much time outside as possible.  The solution to this is usually a field jacket, scarf, and ankle pants (which are my favorite pants anyway-any excuse to show off the shoes!) like I wore here.

These cognac leather TOMS should be at the top of everyone’s spring wish list.  They’re so incredibly comfortable but have more of a luxe feel than the average pair of TOMS.  I wear them so much I want to snatch up another pair while they’re still available because I don’t foresee a day I’ll ever want to stop wearing them.

Contrast

I am constantly trying to find ways to pull off the ‘summer dress in winter’ thing, and usually don’t succeed.  Most of this problem is because my summer dresses come in primarily summer colors and aquamarine just doesn’t work in New England January under any circumstances.  This little gem from Lucky Brand that I got a few years ago, fortunately comes with season-proof black sprinkled throughout and makes my job so much easier.  Black on black on black with some pink sprinkled in is super easy to work with, so I added this pale pink scarf in the mix to keep the vibe happy and colorful.  Spring, I’m coming for you…

Light Up The Day

If I were to pick an outfit that absolutely described me, this would definitely be it.  It exhibits the hobbies I’ve adored over my years, such as a passion for music and an active lifestyle, and the places I’ve fallen in love with that inspire my wardrobe daily.  Whether it’s feminine eyelet details and chandelier inspired earrings that remind me of the attention and romance in French architecture or some laid back sneakers that exude Californian surfer culture, I find that my favorite and most memorable destinations tend to leave marks on my mind and my style, forever reminding me of their best, most unique, and eternally endearing characteristics.

No place has influenced my life and style as much as the New England coast.  I fell in love with the sea and the summer season of exploration and it is constantly inspiring my style in color schemes, silhouettes, and statements alike.  The beauty of Coastal Maine is rivaled by no place I’ve ever been, and I try to visit my favorite spots once each summer.  One such place is York’s Nubble Light, which is a classic American icon.  Cape Neddick has gorgeous views of the Atlantic and a rocky shore that makes for some fun “climbing” for the child/adventurer in everyone.  I can’t think of a better way to spend a Saturday in New England then a drive up the coast of Maine listening to the Rolling Stones, and walking along the ocean with my best friends.
