Zara Fall Essentials

Top, Blanket Scarf, Skirt, Laceup Flats, all Zara. Necklace, c/o Happiness Boutique. Sunnies, Foster Grant. Purse, Marc Jacobs. 

 
Picked up a few Zara fall essentials the other day. I got one of their plaid blanket scarves last year (here) and I lived in it all Autumn and Winter long. So I figured I may as well throw another one into the mix. What I love about this one? The dual print. Hence all neutral tones with leopard on onse side and the other striped. Of course the button front denim skirt and lace-up flats were a no brainer – must have this season.

Tulum Lace

Shirt, Forever 21. Top, old. Shorts, Gentle Fawn. Flats, Chinese Laundry. Purse, Marc Jacobs. Sunnies, Foster Grant.

 
The truth is I’m a total summer girl at heart and I won’t pretend to be someone else, not even for the sake of the blog. And by that I mean, that even though summer is officially over, my Fall strategy is to carry summer style outfits as far into Autumn as humanly possible (I say that because I get cold very easily).

What I typically do (weather permitting) is combine summer pieces that transition well into Autumn with Fall staples. The result, is something like this: a pair of Gentle Fawn tulum lace shorts with a laceup top, covered with a typical (and many times recycled) Fall style flannel shirt. Which is great for those chilly mornings and evenings, and easy enough to do without during the day.

Happy Friday and wish you all a lovely weekend!

Sunflowers

Bustier, Nasty Gal. Cutoffs, Signature 8 (Nasty Gal). Vest, H&M. Gladiators, The Shoe Company. Jewelry, Child of Wild. Shades, vintage. Hubby’s bolo tie.

Enjoying the last few days of summer in true free spirited, hippie style. We planned on getting lost for the day along unexplored roads. And so I dressed accordingly: floral bustier, denim cutoffs, long vest and gladiators. To accessorize the outfit I opted for a pair of John Lennon shades and my beau’s bolo tie.

Although we spent the whole day hanging outside nothing seemed to capture the proper vibe I was feeling. (And wanted to capture in the photos). Having always loved sunflowers I have memories of running through my grandfather’s endless fields of sunflowers as a child. He would always cut some down for me. But that is a memory far gone for a city dweller. As we continued on our adventure nothing seemed to please the background I had in mind so I said to my boyfriend: What does a girl have to do around here to find some sunflowers?? Would you believe me if I told you that as soon as we turned onto the next road we came upon this field?
