Fall Trends I'm Trying

As much as I love Summer, as soon as August hits, I'm scouring the September issues of my favorite fashion magazines and slowly beginning to add pieces to incorporate into my Fall wardrobe. I have most of the basics already covered - jeans, cardigans, and boots. I use these essentials and build upon them to add more interest.

My M.O. is usually the same: Polish and lady-like. Then I choose a few trendy pieces that speak to my overall aesthetic, and that also suit my body type and lifestyle.

Unfortunately, it doesn't start cooling down here until November so I'll have to wait a very long time before I can put away the shorts and sandals. Humph.

Here are some looks I'm loving for this year:

Polka Dots

Stripes

Lace

Rich Jewel Tones

{Still Loving...}

Brights - Still big for Fall!

Mint - a color that is appropriate year-round

I am so excited about dressing for Fall that I went on Polyvore for the first time in TWO years! Well hello there! I forgot I even had an account. Silly me. Here are some more ideas:

I just bought some of these nail decals from a seller on Etsy.

Thank you to Tara for the idea!

Chevron print seems to be everywhere! In fashion, on home decor items, even in beauty. There is something about those little zig-zags that catches everyone's attention. Whether in bright color or classic black and white, it's certainly a playful, youthful print that can be used in a multitude of ways. I'm hooked.

It's all in the details

Just some inspirational wedding pictures I have saved on my computer right now. Notice a theme? Lots of ivory, flowers, lights, lanterns, and of course, the beach <3

We want a simple yet elegant touch, but with a modest budget in mind. Very romantic as well!

We set the date, and we found our location. Finally! Now the real planning can begin. I'm not going to document too much of it on here because: I don't want to bore anyone, I'd like to keep some details private, and I don't want this to turn into a wedding blog. But I'll keep you updated with anything I think you might like to see! Sound good?

Happy Friday!

Her Hair...

Her style...

Her makeup...

Aside from  Lauren Conrad, I have a girl crush on Rachel Bilson. I've professed my love before because let's face it - the girl's got style and she is always on my radar. I would love to re-create all of the looks seen here, but somehow I think I'd fall a little short. I can definitely take some cues though: Her makeup looks radiant, she loves to wear little jackets to top off dresses, and her hair always looks soft and natural. She appears very comfortable in her own skin, something we can all admire.
