FLORALS FOR FALL
AUTHENTIC EMBROIDERY
Happy weekend! Its time to trade in your work pants for some comfortable jeans, I've been living in this pair from Gap since I got them! This season has been huge on embroidery and flower prints on everything to bomber jackets, bags, shoes to denim. We can blame Gucci for their fabulous embroidery, floral touches and old fashioned style and I'm not complaining. I now want all my jeans to have embroidery on them since they released their pre-fall collection. We cant all afford Gucci, but Gap definitely satisfied by crave for them! Shop here

BERRY SHADES AND STRIPES
FALL PRINTS
FALL FRINGE
OFF SHOULDER AFFAIR
As we get into September and with fall quickly approaching, I wanted to style an outfit that would transition into the new season. Off shoulder tops and dresses will still be big in the fall just as it was in S/S '16. The shade of this top perfectly ties into fall while still being light weight for the warmer days. It has been my go to top in summer and I'm sure it will still have a strong presence in my wardrobe this season! As Fashion Week begins I'll continue reporting about different trends and looks we can all try this fall!

CURRENT BEAUTY FAVES
Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer with Goji Berry and Haloxyl:
I wear it in the color Honey Miel which is the perfect shade for my complexion. It covers any imperfection while also brightening your under eyes.
Revlon Super Lustrous lip gloss-Super Natural:
Great nude color to wear on its own or over a lipstick, which is another favorite.
Wet&Wild Lipstick:
Another great nude shade that I like to wear under the revlon lipgloss.
Sally Hansen nail polish: Glitz Gal
This nail polish is a really pretty glittery color which is perfect for the holidays. Its a dark silver shade with hints of purple,blue and silver running through it.
The Body Shop: Vanilla Brulee Body Butter
The smell of this body better is amazing, its not a strong vanilla scent but more of coconut butter. Its a great moisturizer especially as we get into the winter months.
Physicians Formula Bronze Booster
I have been searching for a bronzer that was going to leave my skin looking glowy and healthy. This bronzer is one of my holy grails now. It is a combination of powder, as well as baked and cream bronzers which gives an amazing finish.

Suede have been very big this season and a trend that will carry through winter. I thought I would incorporate it to my outfit for this look. I have chosen a suede draped vest from Max Studio and has a beautiful a symmetric style. It can be styled with many other outfits but I wanted to do an everyday/casual look also featuring my go to shoes to dress up any outfit.

FUR & LEATHER VIBES
This week has been pretty cold for fall and as November comes to an end I thought I would put together an autumn outfit before I have to wear layers of sweaters and jackets. This look incorporates leather which is a fall staple and fur which is a great transition piece from fall to winter.

Happy holidays and have a great week!
AUTUMN MONOCHROME
Its safe to say that summer is over and the fall season is in full swing! I am so excited for the fall, its definitely my favorite season of the year. Not only because of pumpkin spice drinks and the cooler weather but also for Fashion month which is now ending in Paris. Admiring all the designs and styles for the upcoming year and getting to see what everyone is wearing and who's seating front row in the shows is always exciting. Although the shows are for S/S 2016 and unrelated to the fall, the way everyone is dressed gives inspiration to what we can incorporate to our own wardrobes. This is a look I've been loving this season and this coat will definitely be a staple in my wardrobe this fall.

Snowy day at Dolcezza Cafe
Its another snow day here in the DC area and with school closed, we headed to the Mosaic District! We've never been here before, but many of my friends have recommended me to check out the area. Its a quaint and cute place located in Fairfax with stores like Anthropologie, Target, Lou Lou, small boutiques and healthy restaurants and cafes.
Dolcezza serves gelato, pastries and coffee, the space has a urban warm feel with cute decor and an welcoming environment. Its a charming place to sit down with a book, write a blog post or just to people watch!

DINNER AT THE AULD SHEBEEN
My family and I went to an Irish restaurant called The Auld Shebeen in celebration of their anniversary. I'd never been before and I would have to say it is one of the best restaurants in my city. We were welcomed to sit by the fireplace and all the decor was charming and festive.

BLACK FRIDAY
Black Friday has come and gone, marking the official start of the Christmas season! As well as every year, I participated in Black Friday shopping, I mean why wouldn't you? I went to two malls in my area and shopped in H&M and Zara, as well as some other stores for Christmas presents. Zara had 30% off the entire store and H&M had sales on particular items, here are the pieces I picked up.
Have a great week!
