Cape and Overalls

American Eagle Overalls (similar) // Forever 21 Cape (love this one from the Limited's Scandal collection) //Vintage scarf (grandmas) // Target long sleeve tee shirt // Zara slippers // Michael Kors "Bradshaw" Watch // Double sided pearl earrings // Kate spade cross body bag (from the new Nordstrom Rack South Loop store. Similar here)

This cape is probably my best Forver 21 find of them all. It looks like a million bucks but didn't cost over $40! I found it last year so It's no longer avaliable (but they do have this cute one right now) but I did gather up some of my favorite cape coats out there for you to shop.

And in case you were wondering what the beauties on the other side of the lens look like, here they are. My bestie and her adorable little assistant may have found their calling as a fashion photog duo. 

21 Pieces That Have Me Excited for Fall

Capes, plaid and gorgeous leather pieces have me excited for fall. Especially after attending Nordstrom's Beauty Trend Show this past weekend. I'm all about a pale hued winter coat and beautiful skin after seeing what beauty trends are hot this fall. With that being said, I'm in absolute love with Mac's Matchmaster foundation I tried and brought home with me this weekend! I am in awe of how it magically blended in with my skin tone and feels so light!

Check out some pieces here that have me all ready to go for fall!

Overalls for Fall

American Eagle Overalls // Coach Nicola loafers // ASOS bag // Phillip Lim for Target Scarf // Stylemint Tee // Urban Outfitters Hat // Burberry Lip Stick

There is so much I'm loving in this outfit. These overall are practically all I wear every weekend since I got them and I'm really having fun styling them in so many different ways. These Coach loafers are pretty much the only shoes I can seem to wear all day on my feet at school. They are so darn comfortable I can't imagine wearing anything else. Not to mention the color goes with everything and they even look great with dresses and skirts. And then we have this hat. Hats are my favorite part of Fall, and this one is turning out to be my favorite by far. Get ready to see all these items on heavy rotation over here on HPS.

Overalls 2 Ways

Being a middle-schooler in the 90's, overalls were the ultimate cool-girl item in my closet. I wore mine with a pink satin babydoll top and thought it was just the coolest outfit ever. Flash forward to present day, overalls are making a full-on comeback and what does my full grown adult self do but snap up a new pair! 

This pair was on sale for $29 bucks from American Eagle. Kind of a late night online shopping impulse buy, but I could tell it was a good one because I wanted to wear them immediately when they arrived!

Like many of you out there I was worried overalls might be tricky to style without coming off too much like either a 13 year old girl or a farmer.  I kept the base classic, girly and lacy and added simple accessories like my favorite white panama hat and converse for day look. For a night time look, I added this chunky braided necklace that you can scoop up for just $11! I also added my favorite subtle yet sexy nude Zara heels to wrap up the look.

Now that you know how to wear em, don't you really want a pair too? Shop lots of cute overall options here! And maybe shop some pretty little lace pieces to go underneath them while you're at it!

H&M Colorful Jacket

This is an old outfit from when school was still in session. Lucky for you, if you like this jacket, I've been seeing it around in the H&M clearance section. Apparently there aren't many girls who like to wear insanely colorful jackets to work, let alone pair them with stripes, so there were quite a few left. To all of you out there who fear no color or pattern, go check the clearance rack and score this jacket for an amazing price!

Side note. It was on the day I wore this that I was told by 2 separate incoming Middle school girls that I looked like Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande. Should I be ashamed or proud?

Jacket: H&M // Pants: Zara // Shoes: J. Crew Janey Flats // Necklace: eBay // Sunglasses: Forever 21 (get almost identical here for $3)// Sweater: Old Navy (about 3 years old) // Earrings: Nordstrom // Lips: Nars "Yu"

Stormy Weather

This top (on sale now for just $15) is actually from the swim section of Old Navy, but I think it makes for a perfectly acceptable shirt. And if your as tall as me it is nothing else but a shirt. Because even if Old Navy wants to label it as a swim tunic, its no tunic on me.

The Joe's Jean shorts were a last day of school find from Nordstrom Rack. I was so excited for school to be over and freedom from my pencil skirts that i bought these destroyed jean shorts. Turns out they have been the best buy of the summer! They are comfy, easy, match with everything and most importantly, they represent summer in a nutshell for this teacher on break!

Tunic: Old Navy (on sale for $15 bucks right now) // Shorts: Joe's Jeans // Spike Necklace: Alimonada // Bar Necklace: Forever 21 (comes in a set of two for $7!) // Bag: Coach vintage Willis (buy a new one here) // Sandals: Dolce Vita (get them here on mega sale in 3 color options) // Lips: Burberry Lipstick and Gloss

Brooklyn Brights

This is an outfit from a few weeks back when I was in NYC. This is from our day of bumming around Brooklyn. We were staying in Greenpoint and walked to Williamsburg to explore. I didn't get the memo that I wasn't supposed to dress like a J. Crew add to fit in, so I kind of felt out of place. This lady isn't as cool as the kids of Williamsburg. 

Thanks Brooklyn for making me feel like an old lady, I still love you anyway.

Crew (on sale right now for less than $20 with code TREAT +free shipping on all orders) // Crop top: H&M (fun option here) // Bag: ASOS // Sandals: Sam Edelman "Trina" (My very favorite sandals of all time. have them in 2 colors) // Belt: J. Crew (cute silver bow option here) // Watch: La Mer // Necklace: eBay // Sunglasses: In God We Trust
