shop the season: marsala

its mid-to-late september and we had one bout of cool weather, so that means its fall right? i chose to pretend it wasn't 85 degrees outside today and have decorated for fall, bought everything pumpkin-flavored i could find (PSA: pumpkin spice latte m&m's... not so good), and have started the closet transition from summer to fall. my favorite color for the fall? pantone's color of the year: marsala. i love this deep, rustic red wine color that makes a statement on its own or as an accent. sophisticated, earthy and rich, its just right for fall fashion. and what better time of the year to wear it than right now, when it complements the season's changing colors so well? so, shop the season in marsala with me and my round up of favorites below!

4 / j. crew feathered crystal necklace

5 / j. crew perfect shirt

friday favorites

it has been far too long since i have posted some friday favorites! i thought today i would include a little bit of everything, from activewear to nail polish! this post is a bit short, but i haven't been able to do my normal online perusing lately!

• i love target's champion athletic wear. it is hard for me to go into target and not come out without a new top to sport to the gym or around campus! my latest purchase was this pullover and it may be my favorite buy yet! it is so comfortable and lightweight! i throw it on with some yoga pants, over a long-sleeve, tank or short sleeve and have even thrown on a scarf with it! 

• LaRoque for belk: i came across the clothing label LaRoque on pinterest last year and have been obsessed ever since. based in columbia, south carolina, the brand is southern and classic but with a modern twist - my kind of clothes. the designer, annabelle laroque, won a competition and her line is being featured at belk this spring. the melissa backless dress is my favorite piece from the collection! 

• lately i have become a bit of a nail polish junkie (but isn't every girl?). this spring i am loving the pastel shades and new nudes! essie is always a favorite nail polish brand of mine and i love their new spring collection! my toes are currently sporting "spin the bottle" - perfect for spring until i decide to go bright for summer! 

• kate spade never fails to make me lust over everything they make. currently, i am loving their newest additions to their home accessories collection. i love everything in this collection but this trinket tray really caught my eye! there are also picture frames, salt and pepper shakers and flower vases that match!  

• i have also become a makeup junkie of sorts! i am no guru at all but i have found some products that i really love! my most favorite right now is guerlain's météorites' pearls! applied with a large powder brush after foundation and blush, they even out your skin tone and give you and amazing glow! they are great for midday touch up too! 

i am happy for the weekend to be here. one more week passed means one more week closer to summer. i am in major need of a new routine and a change. this semester has gotten to me and i need something different. luckily i have an amazing opportunity this summer at leona and can't wait for the changes it is going to be! tonight, however, i am parking on the couch to watch my vols play in the sweet sixteen! i have had my orange on all day for big orange friday! go vols y'all!
