I’m sure some of you get where I’m coming from. I digress. Here are some of my top picks for the hard to shop for boyfriend: David Yurman Cross or Star of David Side note: I’ve…

Fashion Friday: Floral, leather and the beach

This week I was so lucky to have my good friend Amanda (@amandaelle_photography on Instagram) take pictures of my outfit.

Pumpkin Picking is in the Air!

I’m going to go over a look that’s perfect for fall festivities! Apple picking, pumpkin picking, a fall themed party – this outfit is situationally appropriate. Let’s take a look.. Shirt: Rails | Sweater: Forever 21, similar | Denim: James Jeans, similar | Shoes: Schutz | Handbag: Chloe, similar When I think of pumpkin or apple picking outfits it’s always classic denim, a warm colored plaid shirt and brown boots, maybe a brown leather jacket and an off white scarf depending on the weather.
