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!

Love Cross Body

Skirt: ASOS // Crop Top: Express // Necklace: eBay // Earrings: J. Crew // Shoes: Nine West // Lips: NYX Bloody Mary // Sunglasses: Forever 21 // Bag c/o Shopbop: Rebecca Minkoff Love Cross Body

I know it's getting warmer out but don't let these pictures fool you. They are actually from a friends wedding at Old Saint Pat's church back in October. It was a gorgeous warm day, much like what I'm hoping we will see more of soon. 

This Rebecca Minkoff "Love" cross body has been an easy favorite in the past few months. It adds tons of class to even the most basic of outfits. And it is quite the ringer for a Chanel bag, but at a much more affordable price point. I made sure to get it in a neutral color so It would remain a classic over the years. I think it would be a great addition in any color to any handbag collection. This smoke shade is my new favorite. Check out all the colors available here!

New Specs

Pants: Target // Purse: Rebecca Minkoff Love Crossbody // Shirt: Joe Fresh // Lips: YSL // Hat: Sole Society // Necklace: (pearl) Anthropologie // Cape: Forever 21

Recently I got new glasses, but I rarely wear them all day. Usually they are for when I enter grades on the computer at school. Looking at all those tiny percentages can give me a headache. Sometimes it just feels better to leave them on then to adjust after taking them off. These photos were taken right after school. And this my frends is how my new specs finally made their way onto a blog post. 

Topshop Geometric Scarf

Scarf: Topshop //  Jeans: H&M // Necklace: Loft // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff c/o Shopbop // Boots: DSW (old) // Sunglasses: Target // Cape: Forever 21 (old but really cute similar one here for under $50!) // Sweater: Forever 21 (on sale)

I'm so happy spring is near because I've been trying to work in all the pastels I can this winter but it's becoming increasingly easier to get them all lined up for Spring with all the stellar options coming out. I'm particularly loving all things blush and powder blue. This Minkoff bag I got at the beginning of the winter will transition perfectly into spring, but I'm still craving one of these new pastel numbers as well.

And if you are loving this scarf as much as I do, It's sold out online but I saw a ton of them last week at the Topshop on Michigan Avenue.

Fall Perfection

Zara cape (it runs super large, mine is an xs) // Old Navy Flannel // Shoemint Booties // Rebecca Minkoff Love Crossbody // Loft long pencil skirt // Urban Outfitters hat // Forever 21 Necklace // Michael Kors "Bradshaw" watch

I LOVE this cape. Really and truly. It was one of those things where I tried it on and knew I had to have it. I have other capes, lots of them. But this one was different. The color is perfection and the details, down to the contrasting inside lining had me at first glance. It was over before it began. I have pretty much been wearing it every day to work. It's so easy to throw over a big bulky sweater and still be able to bend my arms driving to work. It's basically a blanket with arm holes and I'm not mad about that at all.

I am a little mad at the price of mine, but I found you some at much more reasonable prices!

*And some that are not but too good to not take a look at.

BCBG Diane Dress

BCBG Diane dress // Banana Republic bracelet (fun option here) // eBay necklace // Kate Spade heels via Gilt Warehouse Sale 2 years ago // H&M clutch // Forever 21 cape (similar) // Zara sunglasses (very similar) // pearl 360 earrings

This outfit was worn to my beautiful friend's Breakfast at Tiffany's themed bridal brunch. I had been saving this dress up for this lady-like occasion and it fit the bill perfectly. 

I bought it back in the summer at the Macy's in Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas on sale for 50% off! How do you turn down 50% off on a BCBG dress this amazing? You don't! I had seen it on other bloggers in blush pink but this bright orange was way more my speed.  And with a short sleeve giving it the illusion of being covered up for warmth, this dress is the perfect fall find. 

Here are a few equally lady-like finds for you to shop!
