Cape Weather

Cape  (Under $50!) // Jeans (exact ones here and here) // Striped tee // Bangle (old) // Purse // Shoes // Sunglasses (Prada from last year)

Capes have been my favorite Fall piece for the last few years now. They are so chic and you can throw them on with just about anything. 

This new cape I'm wearing from Forever21 was too good to pass up, so I added it to my every-growing collection! It is lined in sweatshirt material and is just under $50! It also comes in black and white. Come on! How can anyone pass on that?

If you haven't gotten into the cape trend, there are so many great ones out there right now. Wear them with a tunic top and leggings like I did to school on Friday, or even over a dress (love this one and how fun the patterns would be to mix!) or pencil skirt for an extra layer of warmth!

Eva's Bakery

Shorts (similar on sale for $25!) // Shoes // Top: Zara (old) // Glasses // Purse c/o Shopbop

I had always wanted to see this pretty little bakery in Salt Lake City, so imagine how happy I was when I found out it was just steps away from our hotel! Isn't it the cutest? 

We took a quick little stroll across the street after my husband had just ran a half marathon down a mountain earlier that morning! Thank goodness he still had a little energy left to take these pictures!

We also managed to use all of our will power and not eat a single treat sold inside, although tempting. We saved our appetite for a trip to Ruth's Diner for a late brunch! Totally worth it. There is always an excuse for eggs in my book. 

Hope you all have a great beginning to your week. Happy Monday everyone!

Comfort Zone

Shoes: Topshop // Tank: Old Navy // Jacket: Sanctuary via Nordstrom Rack (similar here & here )// Jeans: Blank NYC c/o Shopbop // Purse: Zara (old, but I love this bright red one that I have in white)

Doesn't this little white bomber jacket look super luxe? I have my Nordstrom Rack aficionado friend to thank for it. I was spending some time doing some summer shopping with my friend Olivia at her favorite store, The Rack, and we both found this jacket and tried it on. I think she totally should have gotten it too but she changed her mind. She is always free to borrow mine though.

Sometimes you need a friend to push you into different stores otherwise you can get caught in a shopping rut. I find myself always gravitating towards the same few stores, Zara, Forever 21 and H&M but she helps me bring out that inner sale digger that I'm usually not. In the end it brought me to this cute jacket for under $40 bucks and a few cute underthings that were pretty darn affordable too.

What stores have you been branching out to lately. I'm recently in a bit of a love affair with Athleta (sorry Lululemon) because they have such comfy and affordable pieces like this dress I got for my back to school wardrobe and this long sleeve work out top in the prettiest shade of lavender.
