Cleo Madison reached out and asked if I would like to try one of their items. They had so many cute clothes it was hard to narrow it down. I was surprised that not only did they have clothes though, they had shoes! I saw these boots and knew immediately they were for me. :) They have that Free People boho vibe that I love. These will be perfect to wear when this fall weather wants to stay warm and I know they'll work for spring and summer because the front straps make it airy and cool.

I'm thinking about wearing these with a pair of cute socks. I wore socks with boots on one of my instagram pics and got so many compliments and questions about it. Would you be interested in a post on how to wear socks with ankle boots? I know it's not groundbreaking or anything but if you are interested I do have some tips! 
These boots have already been worn quite a few times. The straps in front keep your feet cool for these warm fall days that keep popping up. They really are comfy to walk in and I haven't had any blisters! Always a major plus right? Make sure to check out their clothing line because they have the cutest dresses!

A few weeks back I made a wishlist from Zaful (you can see it here) and in return they sent me one of my items! Mustard yellow is a gorgeous fall shade of yellow and this dress is just that...a gorgeous fall dress.

Such an easy dress to style. I chose these black fringe ankle boots I got second hand and I fell like I have a boho look all set for fall. Adding a pair of sleek heels would make this perfect for a night out or even pairing it with loafers and a blazer would make it appropriate for work. Not a lot of jewelry is needed because the dress itself makes such a statement. I just used a ring and stud earrings and I felt like it was enough to add to the look. 
The fabric is thick so you don't have to worry about wearing a slip underneath, which is always a plus. The sleeves are the perfect length and the ruffle just adds a trendy little detail to the dress. Zaful really does make quality clothes and I love each piece I've ever gotten them. This dress is my new favorite and I will love wearing it this fall. I am just under 5'3 and this dress hits the perfect length for me. If you are taller this would be the cutest tunic that could be worn with ponte pants or leather leggings. 
​Zaful is also having a promotion for free shipping right now so be sure to check it out!

How would you style this dress?

On this fourth day of scarf sharing I wanted to show how you can wear a scarf to the office. This scarf is a long rectangular scarf, but thinner than the last one I posted on.  (you can see that one here) The thinner fabric of this one makes it easier to wrap or knot and not be bulky.

 I tied this scarf the way Rachel Zoe, stylist goddess, showed in this video ( 2:00 minutes in). She shows numerous ways to tie a scarf that look professional so be sure to watch it! This is a darker floral print which is big for fall. The red totally pops with the poppys and paired with the red heels I think it makes a big statement and really draws out the red. Since stripes are my go to print I pulled out my favorite black and white striped top and decided the leather pencil skirt would add some edginess to this work look.

What do you think? Would you wear a scarf like this to the office or business meeting? One more look this week so be sure to check back tomorrow!

The pattern and colors on this scarf caught my eye. The pop of reds, yellows and blues are the classic fall color palette. This scarf is a smaller square scarf (a lot smaller than the square blanket scarf that you can see here) so you can really wear it wrapped around your neck and it won't overwhelm your face.

​This square scarf is the perfect pattern. The shapes and print  and I love how versatile it is. The tassels are around the whole hemline so tying it a different way could give off a more boho vibe. Because the colors are perfect for fall I personally think mixing it up with cute blush top would totally work. 
I used the "turtleneck tie" for this scarf. You can see the tutorial as well as other ways to tie this shape of scarf here (:56 into the video).
This has been fun sharing with you more than usual this week and I hope you guys have enjoyed seeing some different ways to style your scarves! Make sure to check out the last two posts here and here

Day 2 for scarf week is here! This is the classic long rectangular shaped scarf. I personally don't own any paisley print items, but I loved the colors in this one so much it caught my eye. I also think the tassels on the ends are a cute little detail.

I tied this scarf the "Celebrity way" and love that it shows off the tassel details. You can see how to style the scarf here ( at :34 ). The flares and the boho print of this scarf add that little 70s hippy vibe that I love. This scarf is probably the easiest one to style and wear. I think it's professional enough to wear to work with a blazer on chilly fall days. The olive and navy is a classic fall color so expect to see this with numerous looks!

So this week I'm doing something a bit different. Rosegal sent me a couple of scarves and I decided to do one week of scarf styling. I know I know scarves are just an easy thing to throw on but I wanted to show different ways they can be folded and styled as well as different lengths and when to wear them! I hope you'll come back each day to see a new scarf style and how I decided to style it!
​Here's Day 1.

This scarf is the classic blanket scarf. These are the coziest scarves you could possibly get. Those freezing mornings that are right around the corner? That's where this baby comes in. I decided to do the cowgirl wrap for my scarf. It's folding the square scarf into a large triangle then tying both ends together underneath the front. You can see the video on how I tied it here (it's at 1:26). I love this video because she shows a few ways to tie this large cozy scarf. This scarf is great to own because it can easily be worn into the cold winter months as well. With most of the blanket scarves being plaid it is the typical fall pattern that everyone needs in their closet.
This look is one that I will wear on the daily. Stylish and warm with layers because for morning school drop off it's 55 degrees but could get in the 70s by afternoon pick up....#fallsummerweather

On a personal note I have been crazy busy the last few weeks because we bought a house! Not just any house, but my grandmas house! There are so many memories from childhood of running in the backyard, picking pears and plums from the fruit trees and Christmas evenings by the tree. Right now we are in the process of starting renovations. I will be busy keeping up with those but I'm hoping to keep up with blogging at the same time. I was thinking about showing some before and after pics of the changes we are doing, but not sure if that would be interesting to see on a fashion blog, so let me know if you would be interested in that!
Enjoy your week and make sure to check back tomorrow for the next scarf look!

Now that summer is coming to an end I am pulling out my fall dresses and looking for a few different  items that are trending for the fall season. A few of my favorite types of dresses are the classics, striped long sleeve dress , the shirtdress and the flared skirt, which you can find so many places. However, I want to step out a bit from the classics and found numerous trendy ones on Zaful that I wanted to share with you. Some might surprise you , but I'll walk you through each style and why it works for fall!

This is really a no brainer right? Well then let's talk details.  
A mock turtleneck like the one here is definitely a big trend. And bonus it would definitely keep you warm. I'd wear a pair of tights and ankle boots and you are set for cold fall with this one.
The next one is an off the shoulder. It might not work for everyone (depends on where you live) but the off the shoulder trend from summer? It's definitely moving into fall territory. Look for a thicker knit to keep you warm while the texture is a fall staple.
​The last dress here with the lace offers feminine detailing to an otherwise larger sweater dress. I love the contrast between the fabrics in this one. Higher ankle boots would make this one stand out for sure.

Shorter dresses can be a great staple for fall. I would say to make sure they have long sleeves, but I did include that shorter sleeve dress in the top. I chose it because I think pairing a lacey long sleeve top underneath would be pretty and sexy for a date night.
I love the drop waist and low v neck on the black and white dress. The pattern is unique and would work with a pair of leather leggings or OTK boots for fall.
The bottom left dress has a mod feel. I think with the shape and style of this shift dress you would pull it out again in spring. Since I am a rebel and wear white after labor day a pair of white ankle boots (which are trending this fall) would be cute and offer an even more mod-ish feel to the dress.
The last dress is the ever classic wrap dress. This one has such cute ruffles on the hem and neckline and with polka dots literally popping up everywhere with bloggers this season this would be a great option. Paired with maroon tights and brown boots with would just be the cutest fall dress!

I know floral is for spring, but there are a ton of floral options for fall. Stick with those dark and rich classic fall colors.
Like take this red dress with the ruffled hemline and sleeves. Ruffles are trending and have been all year and this is a great option for a cool fall day.
The navy blue dress with the bright floral is a fun little pop of color and would be cute with a pair of pumps. I love the mustard yellow flowers for fall and I think this would be completely appropriate for work or a #girlboss meeting.
​ The green dress is more of a midi length and offers a boho look for fall. Adding a hat and ankle boots and you are all set for a fall look! 

So I totally didn't mean for this post to be so long, but when I get talking about fashion I just keep going! Haha! 

I don't know about you but a white button up is probably the most classic and neutral piece of clothing you can possibly put in your closet. It can be worn for work with a blazer and pencil skirt and yet be easily turned into a casual look with a simple knotted front and flare jeans.....like I did here.

I actually found these pictures on an old sim card and wanted to share this look with you guys. As a white button up is such a classic, the flare jeans add a 70s vibe and is trending for fall. A pair of platforms make this look a bit dressier, but pair this with boots or tennis shoes and it would be great for school drop offs, pickups and play dates. 
One bit of style info to pass on that I've learned, is to try a longer length button up. You're able to knot the front or tuck it in without worrying it'll be short and come out of the top of your pants. I always hate having to keep tucking in my tops. 

Do you have a white button up and what's your favorite way to wear it?
