Fall is officially here, and along with it my new favorite off shoulder floral top! This month is so all burgundy everything, and it makes a great neutral base for a print.

Fall is officially here, which means it’s about time to break out that fall plaid. It may not be quite warm enough for flannel in Texas yet, but it’s at least time to move that to the front of the closet.

Even though it’s so hot outside, summer is starting to wind down as fall styles come flooding into stores. It can be hard to think about adding layers when the heat makes me feel so tired and heavy. Hair, clothes, bags – everything feels heavy and I just want to take a nap. Thank goodness we have air conditioning in… View Post
