Fall Purchases...So Far

As I read some of my favorite blogs from the east coast and up north, I continue to cross my fingers for cooler temperatures. I can't help it, I'm so envious of those of you who are already enjoying boots, pants, and layers. I'm still living in sandals and airy anything that will keep me from sweating to death. I try to avoid being outdoors for more then necessary, and our air conditioning is still puttering along. I know I shouldn't complain. I'm in many ways very lucky to enjoy a longer Summer than most do. And, I am very excited about Maui next week. I like the Hawaiian heat much better than California heat. I'm fickle.

Although I haven't enjoyed Autumn just yet, I am slowly gathering just a few new pieces to add to my closet. No major purchases just yet, but definitely looking forward to wearing it all. Here is what I've added so far:

Target

Marc Jacobs nail polish (Baby Jane), J Crew necklace, Essie polish in Smokin' Hot

Target

Loft petite modern skinny jeans

Baublebar

Not a bad start right? I still have a few more things on my wishlist, so check back soon for that!

What have you purchased so far this season?

Dress Rehearsal

Wearing: Dress - Jenny Yoo, Pumps - Nine West, Earrings - Sonya Renee, Necklace - Etsy, Ring - Henri Bendel

Flowers - c/o Nate my fiance 

Last Thursday was my 29th birthday. It was also our wedding rehearsal. How's that for a memorable September 12th! It was honestly one of the best birthdays I've ever spent. Surrounded by my closest friends and family, the beach, and Mexican food for dinner... what can be better than that?! I decided to wear the bridesmaid dress I wore for my best friend's wedding. The peachy blush color also happens to be one of our wedding accents, so it was perfect for the occasion. I think bridesmaid dresses have come a long way, so I didn't think twice about wearing it again.

I am getting married in 5 days! Eeek!  Nervous, excited, nervous, excited. Then our honeymoon in Maui!

I have a few posts lined up for the next two weeks, so please stop by and read :) I will do my best to keep up with my favorite blogs while I'm lazily lounging on a Hawaiian beach. I definitely will unplug to enjoy my honeymoon, but I'm sure it will be difficult to stay away completely. Also, expect to see an overload of sunsets, flowers, and the ocean on my Instagram.

Thank you for reading, I love you guys!

Emerald & Turquoise

Wearing: Charlotte Russe lace top, J Crew skirt (similar from J Crew Factory), J Crew necklace (similar), Sole Society heels, Rebecca Minkoff clutch, Chanel Peridot nails

I realize that this outfit is very Summery, and while it may be time to put away the strappy sandals in some parts of the country, they are still being put to good use over here! I think emerald and turquoise pair so well together, and since I haven't worn this skirt in months, I decided that it would be the perfect time to bring it out of the closet and carry my favorite Rebecca Minkoff clutch with it. Not to mention my stumpy little legs look less stumpy. I'm astonished! Note to self - strappy heels really are your friend.

Who's keeping up with New York Fashion Week? I have a major case of "grabby hands" as Chloe likes to say. The J. Crew presentation has of course been my favorite. Shocking, I know :)
