Friday, I'm In Love: All Hallow's Eve

 Happy Halloween weekend! I am SO excited to celebrate the best holiday all weekend, and try to get Ezra excited for it too ;) Two years ago, I did a post including photos of Halloween decor from around my neighborhood at the time {check out here}. It is one of my favorite posts ever, and although the Halloween decorations aren't quite as cool as in Victorian Village in Columbus, here are some great images from around my new neighborhood in Athens:

Fall Beauty

As much as I love darker shades of nail polish for fall, I equally love darker shades of make-up! Below are a few fall beauty items that I would love to test out this season {and would love Santa to bring me!}:

 NARS x Steven Klein "Dead of Summer" eyeshadow palette {here}
Olivia Palermo x Ciaté London smouldering eye palette via Sephora {here}
Estée Lauder pure color envy lipstick in "Vengeful Red" via Sephora {here}
Urban Decay lipstick in "Shame" via {here}
Marc Jacobs Beauty lipstick in "Blow 210" via Sephora {here}
Tarte matte lip tint in "Tempted" via Beauty.com {here}

Fall Skirt

When it comes to my wardrobe, I feel like I focus most of my purchasing on blouses and dresses {...and BaubleBar everything..oops!}. But recently I have been gravitating towards fun skirts, in all styles, lengths, colors, and patterns.  When Lauren Conrad debuted her LC Lauren Conrad Runway Collection, I knew I wanted to snag one of the many incredible pieces, and this skirt stuck out to me. I love the green and floral combination, and can be worn in the spring, fall, or even for the holidays {purchase here}. I definitely have a few more skirts on my Christmas wish list this year! :) 

Halloween Love

I can't believe Halloween is this week! I am so excited, but dread my favorite month and holiday being over so soon. We are not 100% sure what our plans are yet, but it will definitely involve a Halloween-inspired cocktail, spooky colored nail polish, pumpkin-scented candle, and a few scary movies. We live in a college town, so dressing up and going downtown actually does not sound appealing at all. If I do dress up, I will go as my cat, Ezra :) I am very excited for her first Halloween with us! Below are items that I think would make the perfect Halloween:

Fall Style Inspiration

 Happy Monday! I love checking out Who What Wear for all things fashion, and when I need some style inspiration. Below are a few favorite street style looks that are my inspiration for fall - lots of non-skinny jeans, boots of all kinds, and tailored jackets/blazers {all images via Who What Wear}:

Friday, I'm In Love: More Pumpkins

Happy Friday! Yes, another post about pumpkins. The fact that next week is the last week of October is seriously depressing to me! I plan to soak up every last pumpkin-flavored anything, and watch any and all scary movies by Halloween. Have a great weekend! :)

J.Crew Factory

I love a good sale or discount store {majority of my wardrobe is from TJ Maxx or Marshall's}, but I recently rediscovered my new current obsession: J.Crew Factory. I am a big J.Crew fan, so I normally check out their site {especially the "sale" tab} for new clothes/accessories. But the other night I thought I'd look at their Factory site, and I am so glad that I did - I love pretty much EVERYTHING there, and it's all affordable! Below are a few that are on my immediate radar:

 Factory striped tweed crop jacket {here}
Factory calf hair d'orsay pumps {here}
Factory embellished golden bracelet {here}
Factory buffalo check trapper hat {here}
Factory zig zag striped scarf {here}
Factory plaid jacquard skirt {here}

Easy Fall Chic

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 :)

Halloween Decor

Halloween decorating is complete! I wanted to keep it relatively simple for two reasons: 1. I didn't want to spend a lot, and 2. Overdoing it or having too many "corporate" looking decorations is so tacky to me. I opted for lots of mini white pumpkins, necessary Halloween candy, skulls and black cats {my black cat garland is my favorite!}, and a great pumpkin-scented candle {buy P.F. Candle in "Spiced Pumpkin" here}. Happy Halloween! :)
