Happy September! I feel like this month is the buffer month in between October/Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. It still feels like summer, but I usually spend all month getting excited for fall to officially be here, and all of the holidays to look forward to in the coming months. I also get the sense I will be spending September obsessing over food blogs {new obsession, it's a problem} like Joy the Baker and this recipe on Jojotastic. Below are a few items below I am also obsessing over, like good quality home goods, skin care products, and minimalist fashion. Cheers to September!

Happy Monday! It seems as though while I was out of the country, spring took over Athens, GA - and I am not mad about it! Everything here is in bloom, everything is so green, and the farmers market is back. This has me thinking of all things spring fashion, beauty, and decor. Below are a few spring-inspired items that I am currently coveting {the succulent cocktail napkins are a personal favorite! Image via Dream Green DIY}:

I've posted before about how I love Olivia Palermo's style {see here}, and one trend that I think she does perfectly is the concept of mixed, even mismatched, prints. She somehow makes even the most unlikely patterns look so chic together. I want to try to be more adventurous with this trend, and below is a way I would love to try it out:
BaubleBar earrings {here}
NARS x Steven Klein nail polish in "Black Fire" {here}
Jessica Jensen envelope clutch {here}
Tory Burch open toed booties {here} <--- on sale!
Fall fashion is by far my favorite, and part of that reason is because it's relatively easy to throw together a chic outfit. A great pair of boots, fall beauty products, fun accessories, and chic black pants - you can't go wrong with that :)
Thakoon for DesigNation print pocket shirt at Kohl's {here}

I love green anytime of year, but there is something about wearing it during the fall months that seems most appropriate. Below are some fall fashion/beauty items in one of my favorite colors {can I just wish all of this into my closet!?}:

Can you believe today is the last day of August!? I sure can't! As much as I adore fall, I am a little bit sad to see summer end. The perk though? End of summer sales! Below are a few items that I would love to snag before this season ends, how great is that jumpsuit!?
Rebecca Minkoff crossbody bag {here}
RVCA romper via Revolve Clothing {here}
Alexandre Birman sandal mule via Saks Fifth Ave {here}
The other morning I woke up and stepped on our back porch - and it was CHILLY! It made me so excited for fall {the BEST time of year}, but also for the end of summer weather in which it's the perfect time for a bonfire. We may not be able to have one in our backyard, but I love the idea of dressing for one {and maybe getting a candle with a campfire scent...}:

1. Rebecca Minkoff via The Outnet {here}
2. Zara top {here} <--- on sale!
3. Saloni top via Moda Operandi {here}

I love the look of a long, flowy skirt, and they are so perfect for the hot summer months. Below are a few that I have my eye on, I wish I could add all of them to my summer wardrobe :) {Images via Who What Wear and Gal Meets Glam}
Topshop peach pleated skirt {here}
Raey floral-print skirt via Matchesfashion.com {here}
Splendid skirt via Shopbop {here}
I know I mentioned yesterday {here} that it's warm enough outside for white, summer dresses, but part of me won't give up the idea of light, spring jackets quite yet. Like this waistcoat, so gorgeous and light enough that I don't think it would be too much to wear in this weather {plus, it doesn't have sleeves}. I actually think it would be perfect in Georgia this time of year, maybe I will have to add it to my wardrobe... :)
Clare Viver leopard clutch {here}
Lulu Frost earrings {here} <--- on sale!
Acne dress via Far Fetch {here}
Nails Inc nail polish in "Abbey Road" via Beauty.com {here}

I saw these shorts and immediately wanted them {obviously - how gorg is that color!?}, and if I had the perfect wardrobe, this is what I would pair them with:
Mociun gold earrings via Ylang23 {here}
Chloe crossbody bag via Nordstrom {here}
3.1 Phillip Lim sandals via Shopbop {here}
There's usually a few items that I am ALWAYS coveting {anything on CatbirdNYC.com, obvi}, but these are the pieces I am loving right now; fun printed dresses, neutral sandals, statement jewelry {always}, dainty diamond jewelry {ALWAYS}, and a delicious cocktail that I am dying to make! Which piece would you want this season?

One of the reasons why I think spring is such a great season for fashion is because of spring jackets! They make any outfit look more polished and you can never have too many. Below are a few I have my eye on, especially that sleeveless one:
Zara sleeveless waistcoat {here}
Alice + Olivia jacket {here}
Michelle Kim jacket via Preserve {here}
Bazar Deluxe fringe jacket via Otte NY {here}

Last year I made an extensive post with SO many items on my Christmas wish list, so this year I wanted to condense it a little; I still have quite a few items on it {and of course there are more things I would love but didn't have room!}, but this year I really do not care what I get since I am just so excited to be spending it with so many people I love!
