5 Under 50

I decided to start doing a weekly post featuring 5 items that are under $50. I am always looking for a good bargain and honestly who isn't? This week I wanted to incorporate all different items that any girl would need in her closet. Who doesn't love an amazing loose sweater for those leggings days, or an amazing statement necklace. I also loved the color blocking of the skirt because of its neutral colors so that you can incorporate lots of color throughout all of your other pieces. To me fall means being able to layer just about anything!



Cheetah print AND a bow?! These are a definite want for me!





Also i wanted to wish everyone a very happy Halloween!! The best part about Halloween finally being here is that Thanksgiving is just around the corner!

What I Wore: Church/Work

Sundays are hard for me because I, nine times out of ten, have to be at work almost immediately after church gets out. This weekend i had to dress for both and boots and a J.Crew perfect shirt were the easiest combination for the weather. I LOVED everything about this outfit. The comfyness of the shirt paired with the warmth of the boots and i was set.

By adding pearls to the outfit i felt it made it seem a little bit more feminine, without them i could have probably gone to a farm and fit right in! Also i can't even begin to explain how comfy and perfect these jeans are. I got them years ago from H&M in New York City and have yet to find another pair that i love more. They fit amazing everywhere and i could not live without them. It is also good to know they still fit after 5 years!

Hurricane Sandy Attire

Hurricane Sandy Attire


One Two Three Four

I have never been a fan of rain boots until i found out about hunter boots. I love all of the fun colors that they come in especially this maroon color for fall. With all of the flooding that the hurricane brought this outfit is one that i will definitely be wearing for the next few days. The J.Crew excursion vests are perfect for this colder weather and the color is amazing. I wear mine all the time and plan on monogramming it sometime soon! What are your favorite outfits for a rainy day?

Hurricane {Sandy} Essentials

I would have never thought living in Central Pennsylvania we would be so affected by a hurricane. But little did i know that Sandy was going to wreak so much havoc on my week! I am definitely not complaining about having an extra few days of cooking and relaxing with my mom and nana watching wayy to many chick flicks :)
 
Since i won't be traveling anywhere today with the 40 mph winds and down pour outside i decided to do a post about all of my rain essentials. You can never go wrong with a rain coat or scarf especially if it happens to be monogrammed!

 I stocked up on lots of movies, popcorn, candy and comfy clothes to last most of the week! I plan on trying out a couple of fun recipes this week to so stay tuned to see how they turn out. I hope you all stay safe and enjoy some down time as Sandy does her thing!

{Skirts & Boots} A Fall Staple

With the weather getting quite chilly at night here in Pennsylvania i find myself dressing for it even during the day. I love nothing more then pairing a great skirt with a pair of boots that will work all day. Working at J.Crew has definitely been a plus to my wardrobe (not so much to my bank account) because i have been able to add timeless pieces like this skirt to my collection in multiple colors. So far i have three and have worn each color multiple times. The length is perfect because it is not too short or too long and an added bonus.. it has pockets! I definitely recommend checking them out at a J.Crew Factory store near you!

I paired this poppy colored skirt with a more neutral striped blouse to tone down the brightness of the skirt as well as added a quilted pair of boots that hit perfectly at the knee with skirts. I decided to go simple on the jewelry because i had to wear this to work. 

What are some staples in your closet this fall?

I wore this outfit to run errands the other day and wanted to wear something comfy but with a little twist. I am really into pairing stripes with cheetah print right now especially with a cute pair of boots!

Today i ventured to baltimore with my nana to go to trader joe's and decided i had to wear my new polka dot shirt from J.Crew Factory. After doing roll out last week i was so tempted by all of our new winter merchandise and this shirt was a steal.

It got a little bit chilly here so i added my new lace jacket from Francesca's. I love to add pops of color with neutral outfits and this bright pink necklace from baublebar did just that! I hope you are having a great week!

Well this weekend i went a little bit crazy at J.Crew. With all the sales at work at the factory outlet i was able to finally get the toothpick navy cords that i had my eye on since we first got them last roll out, as well as a few other goodies that made a nice addition to my fall wardrobe.

I decided to break in my new navy pixies for work today with a chambray shirt and my new cardigan over top. Now that it is only in the high 50's i officially need a jacket so i added my vest! (Yes that is my puppy in the back!!)
