STYLE DETAILS: FALL NEW ARRIVALS

/1 Comment/in /by

New Fall Arrivals

I have had a hard time wrapping my head around the fact we only have one week left of August and two weeks until Labor Day.  Since graduating college, I swear I blink and the months just fly by! With the new season approaching, I have been eyeing so many new arrivals and I can’t help but fill my cart full of Fall essentials.  You know I am all about buying classic pieces (which will always be the way I shop), but this season is full of trends I can get behind.  Ruffles, bomber jackets, mules and 90’s chokers have me heart eyes for Fall style.

STYLE DETAILS: FEELING FRINGE

StyleDetails-Fringe

A big trend this season is fringe. I am normally not one to follow trends since I typically stick to classic colors and silhouettes, but I am loving this fringe trend.  At first when I saw a few pieces in the magazines, I thought it was going to look a little “wild, wild west,” but this SEA dress and Chloe Sandals (should I splurge?) completely changed my perspective.  I love the modern take on this fun texture.  What are your thoughts on this trend for Spring?

Buy a Pair, Give a Pair

/in , /by



During the Holiday season I always tend to “need” everything in site.  Well, that is not really the case, but I have been wanting a pair of glasses that speak to my sometimes quirky personality.  This seems like the best way to not only buy a present for myself but also give a pair to someone in need.  Warby Parker started in order to create “classicaly crafted” eyewear at affordable prices and to give access to millions of people without proper vision care.  

I especially love that you can order 5 pairs to try them on at home for FREE! And for the holidays you can order your favorite 4 eyes person a set of 5 with a gift card for them to pick out their favorite pair!

Hi All- For Day 15 of 25 Days of Details I am so excited to give you a peek at one of my best friends wish lists for the holidays. My super chic and fun friend Caitlin started her blog Weeknight Wanderings when she moved from Kansas City to Chicago! Caitlin has the best style of anyone I know, she is classic yet is always fashion forward.  Naturally with our love for art and design, we met almost 4 years ago working at the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum, but most of our lunch breaks were filled with shopping and eating great food.  Her lifestyle blog is full of “wanderings” that inspire her, her love for design and anything fabulous.  I was sad to see her go but she is having so much fun living in the city in a new apartment.  Here are some of the things she would love to add to her digs this holiday season!

Day 6: A Dash of Red (Lips)

/in /by

My favorite thing to dress up an outfit in the winter is red lips. So for Day 6 of 25 Days of Details, Nar’s Heat Wave is my lip color of choice for December. I splurged and bought it this weekend for a charity event but it was well worth every penny! I think it would be a great stocking stuffer :)

Nice Rock

/in , /by

By now everyone knows I have a major girl crush on Anne Hathaway.  She is whitty, funny and beautiful and now has a sparkling rock on her finger and a man to share in all the fun.  Anne’s long time boyfriend, Adam Shulman proposed before Thanksgiving but were just seen together at the Kennedy Center Honors sporting her new sparkler, which was custom designed by her new fiance.  How cute!

December 2nd: My favorite winter pattern to warm up any outfit or room.

Plaid is one of my favorite patterns for the winter months.  Whether it be a throw on the couch, a flannel shirt, or a table cloth during a holiday meal- this pattern is one that will never go out of style.  

Hope you enjoy!

“For all the little details in life”

Sometimes I just love a photograph but do not really have much to say about it, so I decided a tumblr was the best place to put all the things I love and inspire me.
